Like melting steel with a match?

The brain washing of society and total lack of analytical logic is appalling, The real sadness is many do not want to look at facts, they are CO2 devotees who have become fanatical in their belief and will die before they will even consider just maybe they forgot about historic facts.

The climate has never stopped changing and never will — it’s part of natural cosmic cycles of life on earth.

Is it possible to ask our politicians or someone to explain the thermodynamics of how CO2 changes the climate as it is obvious to many people the percentage of CO2 at 0.04%  (400 ppm) is just too minute to have any effect — like trying to melt steel with a match.

‘IF’ manmade CO2 causes climate change — what caused the climate changes for millennia before man’s industrialisation?

Those who believe CO2 is the cause, should you tell us how — we cannot find any supportive science to the theory.

In 1915, 104 years ago the Murray River dried up—it has never done that since.

Explorer, Charles Sturt’s Records show 191 years ago in 1828 it was a blistering 53.9°C.

In January 1896 a savage blast “like a furnace” stretched across Australia from east to west and lasted for weeks. The death toll reached 437 people in the eastern states. Newspaper reports showed that in Bourke the heat approached 48.9°C on three days—long before industrialisation.

During the Australian Federation Drought 124 years ago from 1895 – 1903 nearly half the nation’s livestock died. Australia experienced 27 drought years between 1788 and 1860, and at least 10 major droughts between 1860 and 2000.

A 100-year drought destroyed the Mayan empire.

The Great Drought 144 years ago, and subsequent Global Famine between 1875 and 1878, ravaged India, China and parts of Africa and South America, killed an estimated 50 million people — twice the population of Australia.

It was warm in Siberia 11,000 years ago, where large herds of animals and mammoths grazed.

When Eric-the-Red settled Greenland in the Middle Ages much of the continent was ice-free and he called it ‘Greenland’ to encourage Viking migration, southwest Greenland was extensively cultivated for 400 years from 950 until 1425 when farms were suddenly overrun by permafrost 600 years ago. The current ice thawing is revealing frozen farm buildings.

In 1421 – 598 years ago, a Chinese Imperial Navy squadron sailed right around the Artic and found no ice anywhere.

North Africa and central Australia once had forests, lakes, and rivers — what caused the climate change? These historic events demonstrate higher natural global temperatures than now. Science teaches that for 30 million years CO2 was 1,200 ppm where life flourished as CO2 is critical plant food, fossils show during that period leaves were larger than now. Will politicians please explain their knowledge of how plants rely on uptake of CO2 to grow.

No industrialisation or CO2 emissions other than natural earth and volcanic emissions existed back in time, so what caused those climate changes?  Would the politicians who are spending billions on this belief please explain their research and present their models to prove their hypothesis — currently there are serious questions being asked about political intelligence.

Now tell us how it causes climate change — it has never done so in the past.
