I know this is general news, but i have always been a big supporter that man has nothing to do with climate change and it has always just been another Government money making revenue and another avenue for controlling what we can and can’t do and finally people have started to speak up, another one who just has is Professor Plimer.
Here are a few key points from the article:
- MANKIND is naive to think it can influence climate change, according to a prize-winning Australian geologist.
- He said he found that about 0.1 per cent of the atmospheric carbon dioxide was due to human activity and much of the rest due to little-understood geological phenomena.
- Prof Plimer also argued El Nino and La Nina were caused by major processes of earthquake activity and volcanic activity in the mid-ocean ridges, rather than any increase in greenhouse gases. Nor does the melting of polar ice have anything to do with man-made carbon dioxide, he said.
- “There’s a lag, so that if temperature rises, carbon dioxide rises 800 years later
- “If ice falls into the ocean in icebergs that’s due to processes thousands of years ago.”
- On the same basis, changes to sea level and temperature are also unrelated to anything happening today, he said.
- “It is extraordinarily difficult to argue that human-induced carbon dioxide has any effect at all,” he said.
- Prof Plimer added that as the planet was already at the maximum absorbance of energy of carbon dioxide, any more would have no greater effect.
- There had even been periods in history with hundreds of times more atmospheric carbon dioxide than now with “no problem”, he said.
- The professor, who is writing a book on the subject, said he only used validated scientific data, published in reputable peer-reviewed refereed journals, as the basis of his theories.
Don’t get me wrong i am all for clean, green and sustainable living, but we need to go the right way about it, not lie about Global Warming and blame Mankind to trick people into it and then tax us for it.
