1 and 1/2 DEGREES OF CODSWALLOP

1½ DEGREES OF CODSWALLOP The Climate Change Conference in Poland has come to an end, thank goodness, with a rousing cry from the famous naturalist David Attenborough, saying that the end of the World as we know it will come if we don’t Do Something.... Close down all coal-burning power stations! Substantially reduce our emissions of Greenhouse Gases to the atmosphere! If we don’t do this then global warming will rise beyond the 1½ degrees and all hell will be let loose on Earth. Naturally this is very disturbing if you are one of those gullible souls who believe everything the Media spout forth on the airwaves. I estimate that about 50% of Internet and Radio News is fake news, or incorrect news, and 50% is factual - like police reports, or bush fires, but which is which? Which news is genuine, and which is just opinion? The topic of Climate Change is so saturated with non-scientific bunkum that it is difficult to have a sane conservation with anyone about it. One could start with asking: what is a global temperature? Does such a thing exist, and if so how do you measure it? Next you could ask what does CO2 pollution look like? High school students of chemistry will inform you that CO2 gas is invisible. This, fairly obviiously, means you can’t see it. Clever students will realize the deliberate deception by activists linking invisible CO2 to smog and particulate pollution caused by cars and manufacturing industries. Such pollution needs to be rectified of course, but you have to know your chemistry to do it effectively. CO2 should not be used as a propaganda tool. We want it and the plants want it. CO2 is good stuff. It is a desirable component of our atmosphere. Without atmospheric CO2 we will all perish. The UN and its associated hard-green activists have developed an elaborate mythology demonizing carbon and CO2, for various reasons. This is misguided; carbon is the most wonderful element in the Periodic Table and does not deserve this insult. Carbon forms more compounds than ALL the other elements put together; hence we have ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, a subject which appears unknown to most politicians. It is the basis of all life forms, whether you like it or not. So DON’T KNOCK CARBON. We must cherish carbon and consider ourselves fortunate to have lots of it in Australia, in the form of COAL, OIL, and HYDROCARBON GASES, the use of which has given us our present prosperity.

CLIMATE STUPIDITY LINGERS ON IN POLAND

We are told by the news media that the Climate Change Conference held in Poland lingers on because the delegates have not yet agreed upon a final report for their proceedings. I suggest they leave Poland alone. Go back home and do your report writing via telephone and the Internet....that's more efficient.

Nobody sane would want to read the report anyway. More advice, from a chemist, is to leave CARBON alone. Go and learn some carbon chemistry. You will find out that CO2 is not a pollutant but a very desirable component of our atmosphere. Plants love it. It is the basis of all life forms. We could do with MORE CO2 in the atmosphere, not less.

The UN promoted idea that all countries must reduce their production of Greenhouse gases in order to save the world from catastrophic global warming is codswallop..nonsense,, bunkum. They ignore the social benefits of carbon. It is a very confused pseudo-scientific mythology which is best rejected by Governments around the world. The promoters of this anti-carbon mythology should repent, go home, and find something else to do that might benefit society.

CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE IN POLAND

The CC Conference in Poland.is concentrated bullshit. How dare they demonize carbon and its oxide CO2. Carbon is the most wonderful element in the Periodic Table. It forms more compounds than ALL the other elements put together. All life forms are made up of carbon. Plants love CO2 and require it to grow. It is not a pollutant. Conference delegates should go back to school and learn some chemistry.

1 and 1/2 DEGREES OF CODSWALLOP

The Climate Change Conference in Poland has come to an end, thank goodness, with a rousing cry from the famous naturalist David Attenborough, saying that the end of the World as we know it will come if we don’t do something, like close down all coal-burning power stations, or substantially reduce our emissions of Greenhouse Gases to the atmosphere. If we don’t do this then global warming will rise beyond the 1 and ½ degrees and all hell will be let loose on Earth.

Naturally this is very disturbing if you are one of those gullible souls who believe everything the Media spouts forth on the airwaves. I estimate that about 50% of Internet and Radio News is fake news, or incorrect news, and 50% is factual news, like police reports, or about bush fires, but which is which? Which news is genuine, or just someone’s opinion, which is likely to be wrong??

The topic of Climate Change is so saturated with non-scientific bunkum that it is difficult to have a sane conservation with anyone. One could start with asking what is a global temperature, does such a thing exist, and if so how do you measure it? Temperature is an intensive variable and can’t be handled the same way as a mass. Greenies will run a mile.

Next you could ask what does CO2 pollution look like? High school students of chemistry will inform you that CO2 gas is invisible. This means you can’t see it. Clever students will realize the deliberate deception by Greenies of linking invisible CO2 to smog and particulate pollution caused by cars and manufacturing industries. Such pollution needs to be rectified of course, but you have to know your chemistry to effectively do it. Leave CO2 alone. We want it and the plants want it. CO2 is good stuff. It is a desirable component of our atmosphere. Without atmospheric CO2 we will all perish.

The UN and its associated Greenies have developed an elaborate mythology that demonizes carbon and its CO2, for various reasons, but carbon is the most wonderful element in the Periodic Table and does not deserve this insult. Carbon forms more compounds than ALL the other elements put together, hence we have ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, a voluminous special branch of the subject which appears unknown to most politicians. It is the basis of all life forms, whether you like it or not. So DON’T KNOCK CARBON.

We must cherish carbon and consider ourselves fortunate to have lots of it in Australia, in the form of COAL, OIL, and HYDROCARBON GASES, the use of which has given us our present prosperity.
