LATEST CLIMATE CHANGE HOOPLA – CASE OF SOME VISUALLY CHALLENGED FOLKS UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AN ELEPHANT

Ever since the latest report of IPCC has been presented some people, including the UN and IMF, have started jumping up and down in some kind of inexplicable frenzy. There are talks of gloom and doom – as if the world will come to an end within few decades if something drastic is not done soon. However, if one keeps aside one’s emotion (i.e. irrational state of mind) and rationally analyzes the information, people are basing on for their doomsday scenarios and other information germane to so-called climate change topic, one would be taken back.

A question that will come up will be: Have the scientists been able to figure out totally as to why the phenomena known as La Nina and El Nino behave the way they behave? The honest answer is that scientists still DO NOT fully understand these phenomena – the various parameters that affect them, the interactivity of the parameters, the why’s and wherefore’s of the parameters’ influences and so on.  Just so people know, La Nina and El Nino profoundly affect weather patterns for a given year.

From the above question, the next question will arise: If the scientists have not been able to fully fathom the aforementioned two very important natural phenomena, how on earth can they claim that they have figured out climate change phenomenon in totality? Very commonsensical question indeed! It brings to mind the story in which some visually challenged people who were trying to figure out an elephant made very inaccurate assessments because they were visually impaired – one person who touch the leg called it a pillar, one who touched the trunk called it a thick rope, and so on they went.

Exactly in similar manner some so-called scientists are making some very apocalyptic assessments in regard to planet earth’s future vis-à-vis climate change without having understood the REAL causes behind climate’s behavior. Based on the analogy of visually challenged men unsuccessfully trying to figure out an elephant, the idea that climate change poses an existential threat to humankind can be classified as preposterous and scare-mongering.

The current climate change doom-n-gloom monkey dance is very much akin to a misinformed notion that used to prevail in Galileo’s time when a sizable community of so-called scientists (perhaps almost all) used to think that that the sun goes around the earth. In fact, it was a heresy to say anything to the contrary, and Galileo was persecuted when he challenged the prevailing view.

At the current time if anybody challenges the climate change postulates, its apocalyptic prognostications, that person is ridiculed. This is very reminiscent of Galileo’s time. The hoax perpetrated during Galileo was sun revolves around earth; the current climate related hoax being bandied about relates to an ‘alarming’ change taking place in climate and it is all due to the villain called carbon-di-oxide (CO2).

The climate change doom-n-gloom proponents ascribe all the apocalyptic scenarios to CO2’s level in the atmosphere. It will take many pages to go in to the analysis of the parameters used by doom-n-gloom scientists (and its inadequacies), suffice it to say that putting all the blame on CO2 is laughable because the theory of ‘man-made climate change’ is an unsubstantiated hypothesis – water is a much more powerful greenhouse gas and there is 20 time more of it in our atmosphere (around one per cent of the atmosphere) whereas CO2 is only 0.04%.

The climate change doom-n-gloom scientists cite the freakish weather incidents to bolster their case. In this context one noted scientist said “The temperature of the earth has been going up and down for millions of years, if there are extremes, it’s nothing to do with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it’s not permanent and it’s not caused by us……. “The reason records seem to be being frequently broken is simply because we only started keeping them about 100 years ago. There will always be some record broken somewhere when we have another natural fluctuation in weather.” “It’s absolutely stupid to blame floods on climate change.”

The fact of the matter is that there is an agenda behind this climate change hoopla. Again, to quote the above scientist “If you talk to real scientists who have no political interest, they will tell you there is nothing in global warming. It’s an industry which creates vast amounts of money for some people.” So, there you go!

It has become almost a fashion for world leaders to parrot the climate change topic and pontificate without comprehending the subject in its totality. May be it provides an easy diversionary angle to their spiels. But they need to be enlightened and told not to repeat the lie and hoax situation of Galileo’s time. 

At any rate, it’s time that people who understand the game behind the nefarious, agenda driven hoax of ‘climate change’ circus should unite and lay out for the general public the truth behind climate change in easy to understand lingo.  It will not be easy to stand up to the ‘organized mob’ of climate change doom-n-gloom proponents but then Galileo stood against the ‘organized mob’ of his time and proved them wrong. The Galileos of the present time would have to rally together and bring out convincing material to prove the 21st century hoax perpetrators on climate change wrong. It would be a hard, long road that would require perseverance. But truth shall prevail ultimately!
