The Temperature Also Rises
By Selwyn Duke
With the issuing of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
report on February 2, waxing climactic about the climatic is the order
of the day. The esteemed, government-funded scientists with no agenda
who rendered the study inform us that man is almost certainly
responsible for rising temperatures and, furthermore, that dramatic
climate change is unstoppable. But, after seeing various luminaries
sound the alarm, I think I can confidently say that, hell's bells,
we're darn well gonna try anyway.
And it's about time. We've long known we were going to die unless we
stopped spewing that plant-sustaining CO2 into the air. The thing is,
though, my botanical sources tell me the plants are fearful that
they'll die if they don't stop spewing that human-sustaining oxygen
into the air. So our task is clear.
We must beat the plants.
I'm tired of the lies. I remember when I was a wee lad in grammar
school and they warned us of an upcoming ice age. That wasn't as
scary as the talk about the killer bees, but why, teach, oh, why did
you hide the truth about melting glaciers, rising oceans and vicious
hurricanes? I suppose the ice age fiction was less unsettling to
young minds. At least we could look forward to extra snow days.
This is why I won't sit idly by and watch today's prevarications
fobbed off on the next generation.
Can you believe I actually heard some craven, callous individuals try
to rationalize away our destruction of the planet with the fancy that
weather is cyclical (1500-year cycles of warming and cooling)? So
thick is the propaganda that now an elaborate fiction has been woven
to convince us that Al Gore, inventor of the Internet, could actually
be wrong about global warming. Why, it just makes you hot under the
collar. Now I'll share what I've uncovered about the machinations of
malevolent manufacturers' minions.
In a tale worthy of Hollywood, some "scientists" are peddling a story
about a geological interval occurring between 750 and 600 million
years ago, which they fancifully call the "Cryogenian Period." They
tell us that during this time the Earth was completely covered by ice
and snow. Moreover, they'd have us believe there have been numerous
ice ages since then, with the last major one ending about 12,000 years
ago and causing glaciers to extend as far south as Cape Cod,
Massachusetts. Outrageously, their fiction involves the notion that
these alleged events were followed by warming trends that sometimes
initiated intervals in which glaciers were completely absent from our
planet, all without industrialization, as if we'd believe this
beautiful blue orb could experience such wrenching changes without
man's meddlesome hands.
This is an insult to our intelligence. We all know that before the
curse of humanity - and especially prior to industrialization - the
Earth was a pacific place, where birds sang and fish swam and there
was love and liberty, serenity and solidarity, and the lion lay down
with the lamb.
Continuing with this weather cycle con, we're also told that between
1550 and 1920 there was a "Little Ice Age," a time that saw increased
glaciation in the Alps. We can easily put the lie to this, however,
for during part of this period CO2 levels were rising, yet, we are to
believe that temperatures were dropping?
Conversely, it's also said that there were times when CO2 levels
dropped but temperature increased. It is to laugh.
Even the government is in on this charade. We know that anthropogenic
glacial melt-off will cause rising sea levels that will inundate
Florida and other low-lying regions, such as the Netherlands (don't
you realize our inaction could result in the destruction of the
prostitution and drug capital of the world?). So, right on cue, the
National Park Service claims that during glacial periods Florida's sea
level was as much as three-hundred feet lower than today, and during
the peak of interglacial ones it was one-hundred feet higher. This,
all without man's influence? Poppycock! I bet these are probably
the same people who tell us 98 percent of Renaissance painters were
white males and that the US wasn't founded by anti-Christian, ACLU
lawyers.
Then, I found pro-plant propaganda being disgorged by the odious
Center for Global Food Issues. These miscreants actually sing the
praises of higher CO2 levels and say,
. . . a warmer planet has beneficial effects on food production.
It results in longer growing seasons-more sunshine and rainfall-while
summertime high temperatures change little. And a warmer planet means
milder winters and fewer crop-killing frosts. . . . Infrared
satellite readings show that the Earth has been getting greener since
1982, thanks apparently to increased rainfall and CO2. Worldwide,
vegetative activity generally increased by 6.17 percent between 1982
and 1999-despite extended cloudiness due to the 1991 eruption of Mount
Pinatubo and other well-publicized environmental stresses. . . . When
dinosaurs walked the earth (about 70 to 130 million years ago), there
was from five to ten times more CO2 in the atmosphere than today. The
resulting abundant plant life allowed the huge creatures to
thrive. . . . Based on nearly 800 scientific observations around the
world, a doubling of CO2 from present levels would improve plant
productivity on average by 32 percent across species.
And they're not alone in this subterfuge. The National Center for
Policy Analysis echoes these sentiments and makes the bold claim that
a desire for greater plant yield is why botanists pump CO2 into
greenhouses. Even more astoundingly, this organization states that
until just recently plants might have been suffering from CO2
deprivation. These people are so low they snidely remarked that our
savior, Al Gore, believes in instituting "carbon taxes."
Don't you see what's going on? Those innocuous looking organisms you
so lovingly nurture in their pots as you provide water, sunlight and
fertilizer, have designs on our civilization. Haven't you ever
watched Day of the Triffids? I tell you, we're locked in a battle for
survival itself with the plants.
Let not your heart be troubled, though, my friends. The great
teacher, the man who really knows vegetative activity, Al Gore, is on
the case with his keen intellect and sage stewardship. I hear he's
going to make a sequel to An Inconvenient Truth titled Presidential
Aspirations in the Balance, in which he will illustrate the direness
of our predicament by demonstrating how he can fry an organic egg on
his head in Bangor, Maine, at sunrise.
Of course, ardent apologists for industrialization try to put a happy
face on the CO2 molecule, but even they can't deny that the gas'
levels are rising. So, lo and behold, they try to sell us the line
that it's the result of natural processes.
For instance, a vile propagandist named Phillip V. Brennan wrote a
piece in which he claims we now know there is much more geothermal
activity beneath the ocean floor than scientists had suspected
previously. Ostensibly, this process heats up the oceans, causing
them to release more CO2 into the atmosphere. Brennan even tries to
explain away our more mercurial weather, quoting a colleague who
maintains that,
". . . it is not global warming that's causing the oceans to heat,
it's heated oceans that are warming the globe and setting up a
scenario that includes among its consequences more and increasingly
violent hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards."
Yeah, sure, next he'll tell us tsunamis are caused by underwater
earthquakes.
Anyway, this Brennan character has no credibility. Despite the fact
we know that every scientist agrees with the anthropogenic global
warming thesis, he claims that a petition was signed by,
". . . over 18,000 scientists who are totally opposed to the Kyoto
Protocol, which committed the world's leading industrial nations to
cut their production of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels."
Next, we hear the Earth destroyers' answer to why our polar ice caps
are melting. They point out that the ice caps on Mars are probably
melting as well, which is supposed to vindicate the idea that natural
cycles are the cause.
But there's something they won't tell you, information I risk my life
by divulging.
There's actually a civilization of greedy little green industrialists
on the red planet, who drive SUVs, heat their saucers with mahogany
and teak, smoke fine cigars and are mean to children and old people.
And the only reason this is kept secret is that free traders want our
shores inundated with their cheap goods, which are brought in through
Area 51.
I now ask you to compare the dubious claims of the industrial
apologists with the aforementioned facts. I think it will be clear
where the true sanity lies.
The truth is, as Mr. Gore would say, inconvenient. We just don't want
to accept that we'll have to radically alter our lifestyles; why, it's
ridiculous to think we can maintain our love affair with the
combustion engine. As Gore told us in Earth in the Balance, the
automobile poses a most grave threat to mankind. And, no, wise guys,
it's not because he spent time in a car with Ted Kennedy at the
wheel.
So I advise you all to follow the lead of French President Jacques
Chirac, who found time between mistresses to warn us that "We are on
the historic threshold of the irreversible," as he called for a
"revolution" to save mankind. Besides, there is grave concern that
Hillary Clinton's personality may melt.
As for me, I'm going to go out and kill a plant. Now, what will I
wear? Dang, the weatherman got the forecast wrong again....

Chirac needs to increase the CO2 tax to pay for all those unemployed
peoples welfare checks. He can't justify this to industry, who realize
that all their sacrifice means nothing without the US, China, India
and Australia. So he is going to pressure us to join Kyoto, (which
calls for the meaningless 5% reduction to get the foot in the door),
that if the entire world complied would only reduce increasing
concentrations by several parts in the 100 million in ten years, or
much less.
They already pay very high personal taxes far above 50%. Now they can
tax the business end of finances to death. Man, this attempt to make
the world into a big air conditioned paradise is expensive. Next
they'll make electricity so expensive that we can't have air
conditioners. Global warming will be upon us then, for sure. We won't
even have to hire a personal climatologist to explain by their
insistence of consensus of the facts of the existing global warmth.
Al Gore says he plants trees to offset his extra traveling. It is said
that one tree can offset the CO2 from driving an American automobile
28,000 miles. Yet the tropical rainforest, which have density of
vegitation unlike anything in temperate climates, are being burned at
the rate of about 860 square acres every 15 minutes, or the area the
size of central park in NYC every 15 minutes.
Grenhouse gase theory is a false theory. Temperatures of the earth are
not determined by the presence of grenhouse gases, nor do minute
increases in CO2 or grenhouse gases rule or affect the temperature.
Telling American industry to cap their emissions, and the severe
control of our economy which AGW mandates, would have no effect on
rising CO2 levels. This is indeed putting the cart before the horse.
You need to fix the hole in the boat before you spend all day bailing
water. This loss of CO2 conversion is cumulative. So in itself would
cause increase in CO2 cocentrations. Besides it liberates into the air
nearly 1/3 as much CO2 annually as all of the fossil fuels and cement
production of humans.
The concentrations of CO2 do not increase according to the
calculations of human input, meaning there are 'unknown sinks', which
are absorbing the CO2.
This shows the futility of reducing emissions with the continued
burning of the jungle, because without the burning, all extra human
input may be all absorbed.

These sources amounted to approximately 6.5 Pg C/yr (1 Pg=1015 g) in
1996 [Marland et al., 1999]. Land use changes produce a non-negligible
but more uncertain contribution of about 1.6 ± 1.0 Pg C/yr [Fan et
al., 1998; Schimel et al., 1996]. These anthropogenic sources of CO2
exceed the estimated uptake of CO2 by the atmosphere and oceans,
implying a significant but as yet unidentified terrestrial sink
[Enting and Pearman, 1987].

Even this part of their science is invalid, and ignored in their
seething obsession with controlling peoples lives.

By 2012, he'll be so fat only the Euro-tards will recognise him.
