Why do we need to reduce CO2 emissions? Plants like the stuff. We have had higher CO2 levels than what we have now in our past with considerably more vegetation, heat and humidity. Antarctica used to be free of ice. What is it about humans that make us think we know how the planet should be other than that many folks who live on the coast probably shouldn’t and folks piling up in deserts are fools along with people who live on huge cracks in the earth that move sometimes. This seems to me to be all about people who own real estate in places not really meant to be habitable long term and not being smart enough to figure that out. If we cared at all about the planet, we woukd reduce our chemical pollution and stop stripping it of trees and arable soil (as in strip mining operations and excessive, corporate farming). Stop polluting the rivers, lakes and oceans. Stop with the plastics that won’t break down for a gazillion years - including those darned masks now clogging waterways and landfills and sewage pipes. We can feed our population just fine if we go back to small, local, sustainable farms and ranches that manage the soils and water useage and don’t pollute and also provide real food to local communities. As corporate farms absolutely do not. As CO2 levels rise, deserts change and become more green. More plants. More O2 into the atmosphere. More humidity. More balance. If we lived in harmony with the planet we woukd be fine. But we still think we own the planet and that ownership allows us to trash it. Fossil fuels are not our problem. Our irresponsible perspective of things is the problem.
As an Australian, I agree with almost all except the need to reduce emissions at all. Both Freeman Dyson and William Happer , renowned physisits have highlighted the enormous benefits to both the production of crops in advanced and developing countries and the greening of the planet as seen from NASA satellite imagry especially in arid regions where plants with higher CO2 levels require less water thanks to their pores not needing to open as much allowing more water evaporation. Patrick Moore , one of the original greenpeace founders points out that were it not for the industrial revolution which has raised the CO2 level from 270 parts per million to around 400 parts per million ( thats .0004 .folks....it's a trace element ) , planet earth was well on the way to becoming Planet Mars with no plant life able to survive below 150 parts per million. Some context and to counter the nonsense about CO2 being too high, during the Cambrian period , some 600 million years ago, and when the greatest abundance of new lifeform was found in the fossil records, CO2 levels were in excess of 4000 parts per million. Humans have and continue to survive on earth in temperatures spanning over 100 degrees celsius from one extreme to the other. From death valley in the US where temps can reach 50 C to Prospect Creek in Alaska where it is as low minus 62 degrees celsius, it's hard to imagine how a temperature increase supposedly blamed on CO2 is going to impact human existance on Earth.....and according to William Happer who points out with his wonderful analogy..... painting a barn with more and more coats of red paint doesen't make it any "redder" , the effect of CO2 in our atmosphere is not linear.....and most of the warming occurred in the first half of last century. The modelling is a joke....plants turn CO2 into the air we breathe and we should all be thankful for the good old industrial revolution.....and I would ignore neurotic little European girls with big mouths and little to no understanding of life , science , or history,
Climate Change TM is simply a way to capture compliance toward a centralized control system. Maurice Strong and Rockefellers set that up long ago. The IPPC “ClimateGate” WikiLeaks revealed the insider scamming as well. Tony Heller also reveals quite a bit regarding the “data” that these climate alarmists twist and cherry pick. Of course, it’s not all simply “false” or “true”, there are valid issues to address, but the telltale signs are in the fact that they simply want to push centralization vs any other combined local decentralized variations to enable a robust system which allows for various ideas to compete and improve; no, it’s only one solution for a one world.
But she doesn’t mention slowing down to provide scientific proof that man made climate change is real now does she? Man made climate change is real because our government is causing most of the devastation to push the agenda of global communism. The UN and our own government is pushing this agenda. It is about greed, power and control. CO2 is the staff of life for all humans, animals, plants. More is better. The UN knew they had to make up a global boogie man in order to get people to support their agenda. If they told the truth. no one would ever comply. So they created global warming and when that fell flat on its face they changed to climate change caused by us dirty humans and filthy farting cows. If you study UN Agenda 21, the Global Biodiversity Assessment and the Wildlands Project it all makes sense. They claim consumerism, population growth, large hoofed animals, paddocks, dams, gold courses, ski slopes, air conditioning, paved roads, private property and a lot more must be ended. They are considered unsustainable. They also believe wel must seal off 75% of all land to any human presence. Does the 15 minute city ring a bell. Biden signed an EO called 30X30. This is to seal off 30% of all land by 2030. Of course he couldn’t go for the whole banana of 75% so as not to awaken the sleeping masses. So he called it 30X30 instead of 75X30. Make no mistake they are after us and like Trump said “it is YOU they want and I am in the way.”
The climate hoax is akin to the covid hoax, all designed to further enrich the wealthy at our expense. Plants thrive on CO2. Why on earth would we wan to deprive plants of the element they need to thrive? Who has definitively determined that excess CO2 is destroying the planet?
Unfortunately there’s a lot of very dumb people or people that don’t do any research whatsoever outside of their little protective shell. I was shocked while watching the weather channel in that it has turned into a propaganda ministry of false information. Secondary to not living in a Third World ,people with electricity or have a gas stove or any vehicle other than some electric planet scarring monstrosity are causing snow wind floods and the venerable Alberta clipper. I suppose people have become less intelligent and certainly more filled up with marijuana and lazy as hell but for God sake you wanna have the ability for the government to flip a switch so you can’t protect yourself heat your home drive a car or eat what the hell you want to eat. Wake up
Fossil fuels are the only source of energy at the moment that keeps the world warm and productive. The WEF agenda to kill fossil fuels and promote Green energy will kill billions and is unworkable in the time frame allotted. The Green energy agenda will fail in the next few years, it is inevitable. Nuclear power will come along but takes time. So, be prepared for fossil fuels to be expensive, but still be what gets stuff done.
The Greenhouse Effect which the whole mess is based upon is a myth. The Earth is not a greenhouse. Imagine buying a greenhouse for your garden only to find it has no roof.
CO2 doesn’t drive the climate. It is a lagging indicator. The models are flawed. Please for those in doubt read the books: SLAYING THE SKY DRAGON and UNSTOPPABLE GLOBAL WARMING (EVERY 1500 YEARS.) for a start. Judith Curry is excellent. The COVID-19 lies and the CO2 lies are told by the same folks with the same goals. Thank you for your excellent work and your excellent Newsletter.
Thank goodness - a non crazy woman!! So much tyranny has come from women, cut off from their true feminine nature and Eunuch men. Early during the insanity, I said this is a war of female energy where the desire to protect and shelter is being turned upside down for evil. I think in the end it is strong women who will end this. Men have been too weakened.
Man is not causing anything with regards to the climate just as the dinosaurs did not impact theirs. All studies showing any effect are fraudulent. There is a narrative even in this. If you want funding for your research lab you have to make sure your research will support the narrative otherwise you don’t get funded. If your naive and your research finds something that is against the narrative and you get it published it will be the last thing you ever do as they will cut off any further funding. All research at the university’s are driven by grants from the government and there is only one accepted narrative and you will not violate it. It’s just like what was done with regards to ivermectin and it’s effect on Covid 19. Science is dead we only do research to prove the narrative is correct. It’s no different than when the Catholic Church put people to death for claiming the earth rotated around the sun. We are entering a dark ages and billions will perish.
Thanks. Dr. Curry is a first-rate scientist and a voice of sanity in a world of propaganda. I've been reading her blog, Climate, Etc., for four or five years and learned a great deal of climate science, enough to know that Earth's climate is vastly too complex to easily understand, and that the IPCC is a political process, not a scientific one.
I wonder sometimes if Gate's purchases of all the farm land is not his own way to offset his own carbon emissions. Not that I think co2 is nearly the problem it's made out to be, unless you are against plants which live off the stuff.

Excellent. Thank you, Meryl.
It’s funny how many who see Covid lies also see through the climate hoax.

Well written and very good reference to Dr Judith Curry’s grand occupation.
Please remember... Co2 gas is not a pollutant ✅

Might this be the globalist's fatal mistake? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
