“Greenhouse” gases :
Gases in an atmosphere that are believed to absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the ‘greenhouse effect’. The most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is Water Vapour at about 0.4% overall and typically 1%-4% at surface. Less concentrated greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (0.035%), methane (0.0001745%), nitrous oxide (0.00003%), ozone (0%-7×10-6%), and chlorofluorocarbons.
Looking at the same facts using an analogy:
Imagine 1 kilometre of atmosphere and we want to get rid of the carbon pollution in it definitely created by human activity. Let’s go for a walk along it.
- The first 770 metres are Nitrogen.
- The next 210 metres are Oxygen.
- That’s 980 metres of the 1 kilometre. 20 metres to go.
- The next 10 metres are water vapour. 10 metres left.
- 9 metres are argon. Just 1 more metre.
- A few gases make up the first bit of that last metre.
- The last 38 centimetres of the kilometre – that’s carbon dioxide. A bit over one foot.
- 97% of that CO2 is produced by Mother Nature. It’s natural.
- Out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left. Just over a centimetre – about half an inch. That’s the amount of CO2 that global human activity has put into the atmosphere.
This is no conspiracy theory it is basic science. Go grab an encyclopaedia and check for yourself if you don’t believe it. Then look into how much money Governments are going to make from taxing CO2 (billions) and how much Banks are going to make from Carbon Trading (trillions)
There are plenty of real pollution problems to worry about that carbon taxing will not address one iota, irrespective if, despite the absurdity of the politically and financially fuelled argument, it actually causes a “catastrophic” change in the weather.
And the real questions with global warming are;
- Why are the Methane Ice and Water Ice seas of Moons surrounding Jupiter and Saturn liquifying due to increased thermal radiation?
- Why do none of the climatologists that the main-stream-media give ear play and air time to talk about the dynamics of the Solar Cycle.
- Why do they not factor this Solar Activity into their climate models when calculating incoming and outgoing thermal energy and Heat Budgeting.
Answer: 1) The Sun is getting more active 2) The climatologists that we ‘hear from’ are pre-approved by the global elite and get paid to lie 3) The models would not produce any where near the estimates of warming that would be necessary to convince the public that their car IS A PROBLEM, or that they should submit to global economic enslavement due to an invisible problem.
Look out the window…..are birds falling from the air parched, are trees flying through the air at 300mph, are fires spontaneously happening.
GLOBALIST LIES…..PUBLIC IGNORANCE.
Quite simple to understand really
interesting what are they all talking about
At half-a-litre per breath, twelve breaths per minute, 2kg/m3 density of CO2, seven billion humans put 5 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, just breathing. Add all the livestock and it will be closer to 15 million tonnes a day, 5 billion tonnes a year. Copenhagen wants to cut CO2 emission by 14 billion tonnes a year. Tax on breathing? This has got to be the biggest scam in the history of mankind. If the climate is changing, it has been doing it for hundreds of millions of years. Best build sea defences and raise low areas with material reclaimed by dredging. Ask the Dutch, they’ve been doing it for generations.
“john f” – Brilliant stuff – I am impressed!
Simply put – if Climate Change, or Guns, or Speed or any other generated demon needs be destroyed, then the best bet is to kill everybody – though gun owners would be most likely and able to object strongly!
An example: The elected ‘brains’ in Australia and many of the opposition are pushing to have Australia commit to these ‘Gore’ type schemes, and with the great urgency that is always required to kill demons.
But what if Australia was the perfect environment without ANY pollution of ANY kind?
As we represent 0.018% of the world’s population then it stands to reason that our combined demise would contribute an even tinier fraction of that hair in a kilometre.
And for the privilege, WE will be taxed BILLIONS of dollars annually, and the money of course be 100% effective to stop the inevitable!
I am wising up that perhaps ‘gun owners’ aren’t stupid, because more is behind civilian disarmament than the justifications being force fed to us all.
