The fiction of manmade global warming
By Anthony Bright-Paul
There is absolutely no way that so-called greenhouse gas emissions can cause warming or generate heat. It is a fiction that is spread by such august bodies as the IPCC and promulgated by news channels like the BBC and CNN and is even taught to unsuspecting children in schools. Far from greenhouse gas emissions generating heat, precisely the opposite is true.

What is the principal greenhouse gas? It is water vapor, which constitutes 90% of all greenhouse gases. How is it generated? As the infrared radiation from the Sun strikes the surface of the oceans, liquid saltwater is turned into a gas, water vapor, by evaporation. Evaporation is cooling, not warming -- every simpleton knows that.

This gas, water vapor, then rises up by convection and condenses into clouds. Clouds are also cooling as they scatter the incoming solar infrared radiation. Then rain, snow, or sleet falls from these clouds. What is a common observation, most remarkably in summer? The temperature drops, as the atmosphere cools rapidly. So here we see that the principle “greenhouse gas” leads to cooling all round. It is hardly surprising that we do not hear calls for emissions of water vapor to be culled.

What is even more remarkable is that the saltwater of the oceans is turned into fresh water to fill our reservoirs, lakes, rivers and streams, which in turn find their way out to the sea. This is the miracle of the Water Cycle – the miracle of water into wine, of saltwater into fresh.

The transport of perishable foodstuffs depends upon refrigeration, whether by turck, by aircraft, or most importantly by container ships at sea. What is the principal refrigerant? It is carbon dioxide, that most maligned of all the greenhouse gases. Far from warming the planet as we are supposed to believe, that clear colorless gas is not only a coolant, but also a fire retardant and a refrigerant.

Ah! say some physicists, sagely nodding their heads, but carbon dioxide absorbs infrared. In layman’s language that means it ‘warms up’. But then everything under the Sun absorbs infrared and warms up except three things. The two principle gases of the atmosphere, nitrogen and oxygen, are transparent to infrared, whether incoming or outgoing, so they do not warm from the infrared. What is the third item, if one can call it an item? It is vacuum, it is nothing, one cannot warm ‘nothing’, since there is nothing to get warm.

It is absolute folly to dismiss the Water Cycle, it is even greater folly to forget or misunderstand the Carbon Cycle. Carbon dioxide is food for green plants on land and sea. We cannot live without oxygen and green plants and ocean plankton need carbon dioxide as a food, from which oxygen is produced as a by-product. To treat carbon dioxide as a pollutant is one of the biggest mistakes mankind could make and has made these past 30 or more years. Indeed, all the bad air in cities could be solved by encouraging green spaces, by the planting of more trees. We all need to be green, truly green, not hysterical and political green, which is another animal altogether.

Nature already has the systems in place to produce fresh water from seawater, the Water Cycle. Nature already has the systems in place to produce fresh air from foul air -- the Carbon Cycle. So we do not need to Save the Planet, since the planet knows better than any climate charlatan how to save itself.

ECO-WARRIOR royals Harry and Meghan left a huge carbon footprint when they took a private jet to the South of France two days after their flight to Ibiza.

The trip to Nice created seven times more carbon emissions per person than a commercial flight.

The couple arrived on the French Riviera on Wednesday aboard a 12-seater Cessna aircraft that would cost more than £20,000 to hire.

There are more than 20 scheduled departures from London airports to Nice each Wednesday.

An easyJet return flight from London airports to Nice next Wednesday is currently £232 per person.

Meghan, 38 — in a white blouse and cream sun hat — cradled baby Archie as she left their plane, registered to luxury firm Net Jets.

Prince Harry, 34 — wearing a green polo shirt, blue cap and shades — then emerged from the Cessna Citation Sovereign as airport officials and royal security waited on the tarmac.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s holiday is their second European jaunt on a private plane this month. They flew into the new hypocrisy row just two days after returning from Ibiza.

JET-SET ROYALS
The Sun told on Thursday how the pair had been slammed over their flight to the Spanish isle — where they stayed in a villa.

Both incidents come just weeks after Harry — who has vowed to cut their carbon footprint — was blasted over private jet travel to Sicily for a Google summit on the climate.

The couple set off for France on Wednesday morning.

They travelled 20 miles from Windsor to private Farnborough Airport, Hants where they boarded the £15million Cessna.

Prince Harry, Meghan and three-month-old Archie — pictured in May — were then snapped arriving in Nice.

As he disembarked, Harry seemed to be trying to avoid being seen as he stared towards the ground.

A woman — dressed in black and with braided hair and thought to be a royal aide — also emerged from the plane.

Security guards were then seen loading a Mercedes people carrier which was waiting for the royal visitors beside a police van.

Harry, Meghan and Archie — accompanied by minders — were then whisked straight from the tarmac in a business section of the airport in the blacked-out Merc.

They were then holed up in a private villa overlooking the sun-kissed Mediterranean.

On Saturday night it was unclear whether they were still on the Riviera, or had jetted back to the UK.

The plane which took the royals to Nice was recorded as leaving the airport at the French city and returning to Farnborough — landing shortly after 4.15pm yesterday.

MEG & HARRY 'HYPOCRISY'
On Saturday night Labour MP Teresa Pearce called on Harryand Meghan to “lead by example” on environmental issues.

Ms Pearce said: “Given the position they have taken publicly about being responsible on climate change, this does seem an anomaly which they should look at.

“It’s up to all of us to cut our carbon emissions, and the number of flights we take a year.

“That is really important — and someone as high profile as that should lead by example.

“I find this quite surprising because it doesn’t fit with their public image and the way they’re so concerned about the planet and the environment.”

Two weeks ago, Prince Harry said in a Vogue Magazine interview with conservationist Jane Goodall that he and Meghan would have only two children due to environmental concerns. In the issue — guest edited by Meghan — Harry said he and his wife had planned for “two, maximum”.

The Prince added: “I’ve always thought, this place is borrowed.

“And, surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we all are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better behind for the next generation.”

Harry — who has warned of the “terrifying” effects of climate change — said in an Instagram post in July: “With nearly 7.7 billion people inhabiting this Earth, every choice, every footprint, every action makes a difference.”

And in March, he gave a powerful speech at WE Day — a celebration of young people making a difference — urging his generation to make a change.

He said: “Climate change is a humanitarian issue not a political one, and one where we’ve been far too slow in waking up to the issues and acting on the damaging impact our ways of living are having on the world. We now have the facts, the science, the technology and the ability to save not just our planet but ourselves. You don’t just sit back and wait for solutions, you take action and create them.”

Just like the lip service of the rest of the humanitarians that post in this thread. So much for science.

Calling out the climate hypocrites
By Thomas Lifson
Obvious and repulsive hypocrisy on the part of wealthy and connected people telling us that we must sacrifice our standard of living – indeed, our very way of life – finally is being called out. They want us to bear the entire burden, while their jet-setting lifestyles remain untouched.

The alarmists are getting more and more shrill about their predictions of doom due to the increase in an atmospheric trace gas, CO2, purportedly able to act as the control mechanism for world climate. (Meanwhile, their climate models, the sole basis for their doomsterism, don’t know how to reckon with the influence of clouds, which have an obvious impact on temperature.)

Even as previous deadlines for doom have come and gone, they issue new and shorter deadlines for us to obey by paying more for electricity, junking our cars, and closing down our factories and transportation systems – ultimately roasting in the summer heat and freezing in the winter cold.

Climate hypocrisy is the only conclusion that can be drawn as just this last weekend, two instances of ultra-prominent doom-sayers generating massive CO2 emissions while warning the rest of us to embrace impoverishment in the name of saving the planet. The world’s media finally are taking wide note of two repulsive spectacles.

Spectacle One via AFP:

The team behind teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg's yacht voyage to New York on Sunday fended off claims that her trip will create carbon emissions because team members will take transatlantic flights.

The 16-year-old Swede, whose school strikes have inspired children across the world to protest against global warming, refuses to fly because of the carbon emissions caused by planes.

But she has been offered a lift on the Malizia II racing yacht, and set off on August 15 along with her father Svante and a filmmaker to document the journey, in order to attend the UN talks in September with a clear conscience.

However a spokesman for German round-the-world sailor Boris Herrmann, the yacht's co-skipper, told Berlin newspaper TAZ that several people would fly into New York to help take the yacht back to Europe. Hermann himself will return by plane, according to the spokesman.

The paper estimated that in fact Thunberg's boat trip would end up being more polluting than if she and her companions had just taken flights to New York themselves.

Of course, it will. They exempt themselves from the strictures they want on others because they are clothed in virtue. And they exploit a child in the hope of duping other children. They have taken over Ms. Thunberg’s life, and it will never be the same. This is child abuse. But of course her handlers presume that the virtue of their crusade excuses robbing a young girl of her childhood.

Can we finally get that IG report?





Markle Windsor. Via the UK Express:


PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle have flown to France on yet another private plane, their third flight in eight days despite championing eco causes and claiming we all need to “do our part” for the planet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew into the Nice on their 12 seater Cessna plane, just days after travelling to Ibiza and then back to London. The royals flight to France had a carbon footprint of three tons, chucking outseven times the emissions per person compared to a commercial flight. More than 20 planes leave London for the sunny coastal region of Nice every Wednesday, with tickets available for just a couple of hundred pounds.

Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit has coined the phrase that utterly devastates the hypocrites, and ought to be committed to memory by everyone who despises hypocrites:

“I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who keep telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.”

Derision will ultimately work against these hypocrites. Force them to live by the constraints they want on the “little people.”
