  1. 🗣 You tell the kids that if the government or media cared about climate change than they would have not bombed & at least reported on the Nordstream pipelines causing the worlds largest release of greenhouse gases. Or tell them to look up who the worlds #1 polluter on Earth is actually the USA & our military. Tell them that when rich people like Bill Gates talk about climate change what they actually are talking about is 15 minute cities, carbon use penalties that will only be a tax on the poor , cause there is no middleclass only uber wealthy & poor.

  2. 59% of teens and young adults are extremely worried about climate change because of all the PROPAGANDA from media like CBS.
    Urban temperature stations show 1.7 times the warming of rural temperature stations. We could solve global warming by moving all the temperature stations to rural areas.

  3. Have you ever experienced a cool or cold July 4rh? I’m 65 and never have. July in America has been hot for a long time.
    I think the media complains a lot more.

  4. “Kids, your government is lying about CO2 because it is OIL and you can’t use it anymore because OIL is colonialism and impoverishes third world countries. To make life fair for all you can’t have a car or engage in consumerism.”

  5. What to tell the kids about climate change?

    Oh, this one is easy!

    Kids, come gather round and let me tell you what the problem is: It's your parents; well, it's not totally your parents fault. Unfortunately, the mess they made, it will mostly be up to you to clean it up. And it's up to you, dear children, to set your parents right because time is of essence.

    You see, they're always busy, so they are desperate for convienences that they have been trained to think they need. Let's take the juicebox for example: What modern, western parent hasn't fed their kids the contents of a juicebox? I bet you have them in your frig at home right now. Your parents give them to you all the time, right? And they do that because they have to work more and earn more to be able to buy juiceboxes. And let's be honest, you really like the liquid sugar inside the box, right? Oh yes you do!

    Now, what's wrong with a juicebox? The juicebox is the perfect example of what is wrong with modern society. It, the juicebox, is the representation of pure waste. Everything about it is waste. Resources are used to create something that must be thrown away. It's no different than if your parents bought you a bicycle and automatically threw it in the trash after you rode it just one time! Sounds crazy, right? Yes, children, it is crazy.

    Ok, so what does a juicebox have to do with climate change? Well, let me give you another example: When you play really hard and run really fast, you get hot and sweaty. You're creating heat by burning the food you ate earlier in the day. Well, a juicebox is kinda similar in that energy — fossil-food like oil — are burned to bring together all the different things needed to make a juicebox. Then even more fuel-food is required to manufacture and sell and bring that juicebox to your frig. The makers of juiceboxes are creating massive amounts of heat. But the byproduct of burning so much fuel-food is not just the creation of heat; it's the creation of industrial farts.

    Lol!

    That's right: Farts!

    So the farts made by the juicebox makers goes up into the sky where it acts like a blanket which causes Earth to heat up.

    And to make matters more worse, all that work and materials and burning and the heat made and the farts made, all that is complete and total waste. And why is it waste, kids? It's waste because the juicebox is thrown away after just how many times?

    That's right: Just ONE time!
    Good, now you're getting it.

    There's more to this story — like politics and greed and ignorance and laziness and free markets and capitalism. And there's more to the story of global warming, especially if you're mom or dad work for the juicebox company. But those are lessons for another time.

    For now, the best thing for you to do is to transform your fear into action: Tell Mom or Dad there's a better way, the old way. Tell them to make you a healthy drink you will like. Tell them to make you that healthy drink in a pitcher that can be used over and over and over again. Tell them to pour you a healthy drink from a re-usable pitcher into a re-usable cups that can be used again and again!

    Now go children; spread the word! And God's speed to ya.

  6. It is 250 degrees above the atmosphere, only 76 degrees on the surface. 174 degrees of solar heat gone, blocked out by the CO2 and other “greenhouse gases”. Yes, they keep some heat in, about 20 degrees, but they block out 194 degrees for a net temperature of 174.

    Gilbert Plass is the father of CO2 warming. His paper in 1955 THE CARBON DIOXIDE THEORY OF CLIMATE CHANGE started all this idiocy. The first sentence of the Abstract for his papers states:

    “The most recent calculations of the infra-red flux in the region of the 15 micron CO2, band show that the average surface temperature of the earth increases 3.6” C if the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is doubled and decreases 3.8’ C if the CO2 amount is halved, provided that no other factors change which influence the radiation balance.”

    You get warming ONLY if added CO2 does not change the radiation balance, meaning the heat entering does not fall with added CO2.

    Before satellites, all scientists worked from the assumption that the sun mostly produced visible light and little heat. That visible light warmed the earth as the levels of CO2 and water vapor blocked out all the sun’s heat. Adding CO2 will not block out more incoming Sun heat as the was so little coming in to begin with. But this is wrong.

    Heat is the majority of the sun’s radiation. 30% of the sun’s heat makes it past the atmosphere, so adding more CO2 does change the radiation balance. Added CO2 blocks out more sun heat cooling the earth and reversing the greenhouse effect! Which is what Plass’s paper said. Plass assumed that added CO2 did not change the radiation balance, so added CO2 created a warmer earth, but he was wrong, added CO2 created a cooler earth.

    250 above, only 76 degrees below. Cooler earth hotter atmosphere. The Troposphere is getting warmer with added CO2, not the surface. The CO2 in the troposphere is absorbing more incoming sun heat and getting warmer.

    We are getting warmer, but that is because the Little Ice Age (LIA), ended in 1850. The Earth has been warming up since then. Snow has been melting and the oceans have been warming up. With less and less cold left over from the LIA the warming is accelerating. We are going back to the Earth that existed in the last Inter-Glacial Period when Iceland was baren of ice and the seas were 26 feet higher than today.

    20,000 years ago the seas were 110 feet lower than today. This is how it goes on the Earth, warm to cold, low seas to high seas. This is just the first time mankind has had the education and intelligence to understand what is happening.

    Neanderthals lived through the last Ice Age but they didn’t know there was an ice age, it was just the way it was. Earlier hominids had no idea that they were in an inter-glacial age. All they knew was it was it was warm.

    Plass’s work is on the internet just google and read it for yourself, you only need to read the first sentence in the abstract.
