ENVIRONMENTALIST APOLOGIZES FOR "CLIMATE SCARE"

A prominent environmentalist and climate change activist penned an open letter apologizing for 3 decades of "climate scare".  Michael Shellenberger, the founder and president of Environmental Progress wrote in June that he and others in his field have been guilty of misleading the population about the dangers of climate change. He feels an obligation to apologize for how badly environmentalists have misled the public. He admits that climate change is not making natural disasters worse.  He admits that he remained silent about the false information put forward by the climate change movement because of the fear of losing friends and funding.  He admitted remaining silent as the movement terrified the public.  He says the movement has been taken over for financial, political and ideological purposes.

He is right.  The current climate change movement (formerly known as "Global Warming" or "Global Cooling) has been hijacked by political scientists who have grabbed the control of the money and are using phony facts to push an agenda to change world government.  They use their money to promote their propaganda around the world.  I've just read a collection of comments of a thousand climate scientists who admit that the current movement is a fraud.  But, anyone who has taken Chemistry 101 is aware of the lies.  They have demonized CO 2 .  That has become their favorite target.  But, CO 2 makes up only 4/100 of one percent of the atmosphere.  Real scientists tell us we are in a CO 2 drought.  Our planet has had many times more CO 2 than now.  It is a fertilizer.  Increasing it makes plants more productive and greener.  We could be producing much more food with more of it.  Real scientists are debating whether an increase in CO 2 raises temperatures OR if raising temperatures increases CO 2!  That has yet to be determined, yet climate changers are trying to convince us that we have to lower CO 2 or the planet will be destroyed in a dozen years.  They are terrifying children and youth with their ridiculous claims and phony facts.  They are calling for drastic changes that will have no impact whatsoever on improving the environment.

I've always favored cleaner water and air.  I've called for the forests to be restored, but I realized the current movement was a fraud when President Nixon's library was declassified.  In his letters was one from a famous senator from New York who wrote the President that if he didn't take immediate action, New York and Washington D.C. would be under several feet of water in just a few years.  Well, it's been a long time since Nixon was President and both cities are above water.  I began to pay attention to the history of the various climate change movements.  I discovered they are really about politics and money and very little about real environmental stewardship.

Should we do our best to be good stewards of the planet?  Absolutely!  The first step is to ignore the political scientists who push insane measures that have no positive impact on the planet and get back to basic, wise measures that really do help.
