1.- Every day the temperature varies between day and night, depending on where you live, about
10 °C. That is a natural process.
2.- Every year the temperature varies between summer and winter, depending on where you live, about
20 °C. That is a natural process.
3.- Over the past 8 thousand years, the average temperature on Earth has fallen by about
4 °C. That was a natural process.
4.- Over the past 15 thousand years, the average temperature on Earth has risen by about
12 °C. That was a natural process.
5.- Over the past 500 million years, the average temperature on Earth has fallen by
15 °C. That was a natural process.
6.- Over the past 40 years the temperature has risen
0.25 °C on the average. We are told that is our fault, and that therefore we must surrender our liberties, give up our comforts and subject ourselves to our rulers.
The political reports of the IPCC are based on the hypothesis that CO
2 is the most important control knob of the Earth's temperature. The problem is that this hypothesis does not correspond at all with the empirical data available to science.
Forecasts are made using models that are not capable of 'predicting' the past.

When discussing “Climate Change” it’s good to have an understanding of how the Earth’s climate has changed in the past. That will give us a reference in order to decide of the current changes are normal or not.
Global temperatures have varied a lot over the last 500 million years. Depending on the timescale used, the current temperature is either cold or hot, so when you want to know the “normal temperature” you’ll have to indicate what timescale you’re using.

This must be the environmental myth with the deepest roots of them all (pun intended). It's compulsory subject matter in public schools around the globe, it's passed from generation to generation and if you dare to question it in public, disbelieve, rejection, jeering and even exclusion from the conversation will be your treat. That's the typical way people react when their beliefs and primary "knowledge" are challenged.
The myth:
Woods, forests and jungles are Earth's "Green Lungs" that generate and produce the oxygen we need to breath and live.

Last month, the New York Times website published a page titled
"Glaciers Are Retreating. Millions Rely on Their Water." It shows a dramatic image, zooming out of a person walking down a dry glacier bed with the following text:
"In Central Asia, a warming climate is shrinking the Tuyuksu glacier. It’s losing ice every year.
Around the world, vanishing glaciers will mean less water for people and crops in the future."

Computer models are something magical. As powerful computers, located at famous universities and authoritative government agencies are involved,
model output is often considered to be a substitute for reality.
But it's not.

Since the start of the Global Warming scare numerous predictions have been made about all kind of things related to the climate. As this scam is going on for over 30 years now some of those predictions have reached their due date and the time has come to check the results.
