1/11❯ You've been lied to. The impacts of rising CO2 levels are in both the past and the future, and they are overwhelmingly positive. sealevel.info/learnmore.html…
2/11❯ The fact that elevated CO2 is dramatically beneficial for crops has been settled science for more than a century. This was not the "mid 20th century." sealevel.info/ScientificAmer…
@collapse2050 3/11❯ Thanks, in significant part, to rising CO2 levels, crop yield improvements have outpaced population growth.
4/11❯ It's impossible to overstate the importance of that blessing. Compare:
● Covid-19 killed ≈0.1% of world population
● The 1918 flu killed ≈2%
● WWII killed ≈2.7%
● The global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed ≈3.7% of world population
5/11❯ Temperatures are not "approaching dangerous levels." That's brazen FUD, from the climate industry propaganda machine. Most of the Earth is, by all objective measures, much too cold.
6/11❯ Are you familiar with the term "climate optimum?" Do you know why historians and scientists (other than climate activists) call the warmest climate periods "climate optimums?"
If you go to ResearchGate or Google Scholar, and search for "Climate Optimum" (or Eemian Optimum, Mid-Holocene Optimum, Roman Optimum, or Medieval Optimum), you'll find thousands of papers using that terminology. Those "optimums" were warm periods. scholar.google.com/scholar?as_sdt…
7/11❯ The reason the warmest periods in history are called "climate optimums" is that the consensus among historians & scientists that those warm "climate optimums" — including periods warmer than now — were objectively better than colder periods.
Or, look at the flip side: cold periods, like the Dark Ages Cold Period (DACP) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). There's a broad consensus that those cold periods were, by all objective measures, worse for humanity than the warm "optimums."
8/11❯ There are no significant negative impacts from manmade climate change.
That SHOULD make you happy. If it doesn't, perhaps you work in the climate industry. It's akin to learning that a war is ending — when you're in the munitions business.
9/11❯ Humans are a tropical species, and most of the Earth is much too cold.
Warming saves lives, and excess cold causes many times more human deaths than excess heat — even in tropical counties, believe it or not! Here are some recent papers about it:
11/11❯ The scientific evidence is compelling that manmade climate change is modest and benign, and CO2 emissions are highly beneficial.
The benefits are large and well-measured, and the supposed significant harms are merely hypothetical, and mostly implausible.
If those facts are surprising to you, it means you’ve been misled by unbalanced & inaccurate information. I.e., you’ve been conned. That's not surprising, because:
“Climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience.” - Dr. John Clauser, 2022 Nobel Laureate (Physics)
To understand a highly politicized issue like climate change, you need balanced information. On my website I have a list of high quality resources to help you learn about it:
It has:
● accurate introductory climatology information
● in-depth science from BOTH skeptics & alarmists
● links to balanced debates between experts on BOTH sides
● accurate information about climate impacts
● links to the best blogs on BOTH sides
1/5. Here's what CO2 emissions and #ClimateChange are actually doing to the world's food supply. sealevel.info/learnmore.html…
2/5. The relationship between food (in)security and CO2 emissions / climate change is that CO2 emissions greatly improve crop yields, improve crops' drought resilience, and improve food security everywhere in the world.
2/5. It is suspiciously convenient that the largely undocumented revisions to old data so predictably support the Climate Industry's "hockey stick" narrative.
3/5. A global 0.35°C decline over roughly 30 years is a cooling trend similar in rate to the recent warming trend (depending on which temperature index you believe, of course).
Here's a 1974 newspaper article, with a nice, clear version of the 1974 plot:
The best scientific evidence, confirmed by thousands of robust studies, shows compellingly that anthropogenic warming is modest and benign, and CO2 emissions are highly beneficial, just as Arrhenius predicted, over a century ago.
2/4≫ For instance, here's a paper about what rising CO2 levels do for wheat:
Fitzgerald GJ, et al. (2016) Elevated atmospheric CO2 can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi-arid environments and buffer against heat waves. Glob Chang Biol. 22(6):2269-84. doi:10.1111/gcb.13263.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26929390
3/4≫ The most important impacts of CO2 and climate change are obviously on agriculture, and thousands of rigorous agronomy studies have quantified the large benefits. sealevel.info/learnmore.html…

Zeke effectively accused Spencer of cherry-picking. That was untrue: Spencer used all of the available data.
@GeraldKutney 2/4. The climate debate is about whether calling warm periods "climate optimums" (as scientists & historians have done for over a century) is correct (as I contend), or incorrect (as the climate industry pretends).
@GeraldKutney 3/4. The scientific evidence is compelling that rising CO2 levels, and consequent modest climate change, are both beneficial, just as Arrhenius predicted, over a century ago. Here are some relevant, high quality, papers: sealevel.info/negative_socia…

The claim that manmade climate change threatens bees is a brazen lie, one of many from the climate industry's FUD marketing campaign.

Wild bees have withstood glaciations & deglaciations, in times when the Earth was much colder, and warmer, than our climate today. They are not threatened at all by manmade climate change.

To understand a politicized issue like climate change, you need balanced information. If you think CO2 emissions are harmful, that means you aren't getting it. But I'm here to help.
