CO2 Alarmism – Science or Superstition?
 
By Brian C Joondeph

When Americans hear about carbon dioxide (CO2), it’s often shown as a harmful pollutant that threatens the planet. Politicians, activists, and media outlets warn that if we don’t reduce emissions right away, disaster will happen.

Preeminent “climate scientist” Al Gore told Congress in 2007, “The science is settled. Carbon dioxide emissions – from cars, power plants, buildings, and other sources – are heating the Earth’s atmosphere.” He continued warning, “The planet has a fever.”
 

What if the fever is instead a cold plunge? As CNN reminded us earlier this year, “Record-breaking cold: Temperatures to plunge to as much as 50 degrees below normal.”

The Weather Channel posted on Facebook last week, “Record-breaking cold temperatures for the month of August provide many their first taste of fall.” What happened to global warming?

Let’s not focus on the last year or the last fifty years. Instead, let’s look at the past 600 million years. From this perspective, the story looks very different.

Cooking up the "CO2 as a pollutant" meme:

"Double, double, CO2 is trouble...!!"

Finally, taking the 'long' view. As a geologist, 50 years is nothing. We look at hundreds of millions of years. What we have isn't out of the normal range for the planet, in fact, we're just warming back up from the last Ice Age.
