Hi footy, as you probably know I have great respect for Jeff Rubin, but as an economist not a climate scientist.
This is worth a read footy, this is climate knowledge from Dr. Roy Spencer, who was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Dr. Spencers research has been entirely supported by U.S. government agencies: NASA, NOAA, and DOE. He has never been asked by any oil company to perform any kind of service. Not even Exxon-Mobil.
I fully expect the resident HC Alarmists to do their best to discredit and ridicule Dr. Spencer, because that's what they do to anyone that dares to speak out against the scam.
ISN'T CARBON DIOXIDE A DANGEROUS GAS?
"Well if you breathe pure CO2, you will die - from a lack of oxygen, not because CO2 is poisonous. But if you breathe pure oxygen for very long, that will also kill you. Carbon dioxide is necessary for life on Earth; photosynthesis by plants on land and by plankton in the ocean depend upon it. And without those forms of life, all the animals (and we humans) would die as well. For something as essential as CO2, it verges on the bizarre for people like Al Gore to liken carbon dioxide to sewage."
BUT WE CAN'T KEEP PUMPING CO2 INTO THE ATMOSPHERE FOREVER, CAN WE?
"No - and we won't. But the amount of CO2 we put into the atmosphere is pretty trivial: As of 2009, there are only 38 or 39 molecules of CO2 for every 100,000 molecules of atmosphere, and it will take mankind's CO2 emissions another five years to raise that total by 1 molecule, to 40 out of every 100,000 molecules."
There are also some interesting pie charts etc. here which are also worth a look, and shows how the Alarmists are deceiving us. From the site.....
"I find that visual representations sometimes are very enlightening, after all "a picture is worth a thousand words" right? I thought I'd paint a picture of one of my favorite global warming quotes. The late Reid Bryson who was considered to be the father of modern climatology once said:
"You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide".
