This subject has been greatly influential on a global level. If it were really an idea or a fact, both may apply. But considering the fact that global warming means “climate change”, makes it in itself a redundancy, and contains a lie. The lie is the suggestion that climate has always been stable. Meanwhile, the theory that carbon dioxide drives climate in any meaningful way is simply wrong again. It is also widespread, the theory of man-made global warming.
It is assumed by anyone with any level of knowledge, that climate changes – the redundancy I advert to. And the lie is the suggestion that climate has always been stable. During the Holocene (approximately the last 10,000 years), our own climatic era, there have never been a stable period of climate. During the Holocene there have been numerous sub-periods with dramatically varied climate, such as the warm Holocene Optimum (7,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C.), the warm Roman Optimum (200 B.C. to 400 A.D.), the cold Dark Aged (400 A.D to 900 A.D, during which Nile river froze, major cities were abandoned, the Roman Empire fell apart and pestilence and famine were widespread), the Medieval warm Period (900 A.D. to 1300 A.D. when temperatures were higher than they are today), the Little Ice Age (1300 A.D to 1850), followed by our time of relative warmth (1850 to present). In earth’s long history, there have been countless periods when the earth was much warmer and much cooler than it is today. Climate variation in the past is clearly natural, so why do we think it’s any different today.
The theory that carbon dioxide (CO2) drives climate in any meaningful way is simply wrong. Firstly, CO2 in fact, began to increase exponentially in about 1940, but the temperature actually began to decrease from 1940 and continued until about 1975. Before 1940, temperature increase was observed even when the CO2 level was relatively low as well as human industrial production. It’s simply seen that the fact
