Convincing!-----What if there is no Climate Emergency? | Watts Up With That?

What if there is no Climate Emergency? | Watts Up With That?
"What if there is no Catastrophic Risk from Man-made Global Warming ?
What if Man-made Climate Change really is a non-problem ?
But what if there is a Global Cooling Catastrophe in the offing ?
It is the propaganda of Catastrophic Global Warming / Climate Change alarmists that has illogically conflated Carbon Dioxide, the beneficial trace gas that sustains all life on earth and which can cause some minor warming, with real and dangerous pollutants to create the “Great Global Warming Scare / Climate Change Scare / Climate Emergency / etcetera”.

The role of Atmospheric CO2

To establish realistic policy the following points about man-made CO2 emissions need to be recognised:
  • The warming Greenhouse effect is essential to all life on earth, without it at ~+33°C planet Earth would be a very cold and inhospitable place indeed.
  • Most of the greenhouse effect, (more than ~90% – 95%) arises from water  as vapour and clouds in the atmosphere....
Man-kind as a whole contributes only a small amount of the CO2 in the Carbon cycle, (~3% per annum), and any extra atmospheric CO2 is rapidly absorbed by the oceans and the biosphere, (with a half-life of ~5 years).

...Nonetheless there is a coming Climate catastrophe

That catastrophe is the exact opposite of the “we are all going to fry narrative” of the Climate alarmists.  
It presages a very scary future for Man-kind and the biosphere in the comparatively near-term:
  • According to reliable Ice Core records the last millennium 1000 – 2000 AD was the coldest of our current Holocene interglacial.
  • The world has already been cooling at ~0.14°C / millennium, ~20 times the earlier rate since before Roman times, in fact since ~1000 BC.
