This is very well stated. For those interested in the claim that a 1 ppm increase of a molecule that makes up a small percentage of the atmosphere can cause all of this warming, here is a very in depth and detailed YT series on CO2. It will take a while to watch, and there are parts that are very tedious, but it's also well worth it.
As long as CO2 is labeled as a "pollutant" we don't have a chance.
Clearly, the CO2 level has been trending down with each glaciation.
The following quote from "Watt's Up With That "says it all.
“Why do temperature ADJUSTMENTS correlate with CO2? The probability that this happens by chance is shockingly close to zero.”
“It is proof of man-made climate change – created by adjusting the temperature data to fit a premise – that man-made CO2 released into the atmosphere is driving temperature.”
It is a scam. We already knew that from the climate gate emails.
Only an idiot, useful or not, would believe these charlatans.
Just one of the recent big tricks from the wizard of oz, and looking behind the curtain we see how it works but most don't look behind the curtain but remain mystified by the high priests of $cience. The fact is, most people don't think for themselves so they are subordinate to those who do.

something I'd like to mention:
attempting to centralize and distribute solar/wind powered electricity by corporate entities is a failing model, yes.
there's too many issues with peak load times and lack of decently efficient massive quantity storage methods for power generated during low demand times.
but if decentralized, and applied to individual properties, those technologies can get people off the centralized grid, which is a very good thing for those people (not so much for the corporations that run and profit from the grid, of course.)
small scale power production can utilize existing battery tech for storage and doesn't cause the same direct environmental issues at the point of installation due to the reduced scale of turbines and panels needed. (yes there's still the environmental issues from mining and production, but petroleum/gas/nuclear fission all have those in abundance too.)
small scale renewable energy systems can also use passive solar power to reduce electrical demand, using direct heat conversion from photons... which isn't nearly as feasible at large scales and can't easily be transmitted to a grid without converting the heat to electricity, wasting energy in the process.
small scale energy self sufficiency which is not tied back into the centralized grid is not generally promoted, because it's not profitable for the existing energy production/distribution power bloc, and if widely implemented, would cause them to lose massive amounts of captive customers/profits.
I agree 100% with you 2SG. I saw Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" film back in 2006 and I became a CO2 alarmist myself. It took many years and a great deal of research before I finally woke up and realized it was a scam. The globalists invented the CO2 hoax in order to justify depopulation and brainwash enough "useless idiots" to implement it. (Scientists are mostly prostitutes who will believe whatever their funders want them to believe.) The globalist elite are simply satanic monsters but they probably have lots of minions who truly believe depopulation is a "necessary evil" in order to "save the world".
As 2nd Smartest points out, CO2 is plant food and essential for our own survival. Below excerpts from book cited give some specifics of its importance to plant life and how it’s being misrepresented. (Inconvenient Fact 3 below)
Gregory Wrightstone - geologist... more than thirty-five years (at time of book) ... researching and studying ... Earth's processes, including how paleogeography and paleoclimate control geologic processes
458: Inconvenient Fact 1 Carbon dioxide is not the primary greenhouse gas.
447:National Geographic climate-change website reports that greenhouse gases “include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorinated gases, and ozone.” [Fails to mention water vapor]
454: Chart showing that when water vapor is not shown, makes it look like CO2 is 63% responsible for greenhouse warming. However, when water vapor is included, it shows that CO2 is only responsible for 6% and water vapor 92%.
476: Inconvenient Fact 2 The warming effect of CO2 declines as its concentration increases.
531: Inconvenient Fact 3 First and foremost, CO2 is plant food.
531: Nearly 99% of the atmosphere consists of nitrogen and oxygen. The remaining 1% consists of several trace gases ... including CO2, whose current concentration represents just 0.04% of the atmosphere, ... incredibly small percentage of the atmosphere ... advanced plant life could not survive without at least 150 ppm. ... that 150 ppm “line of death” is dangerously close to recent concentrations.
597: Inconvenient Fact 4 In the last four ice ages, the CO2 level was dangerously low.
607: Inconvenient Fact 5 140-million-year trend of dangerously decreasing CO2
HEMP OIL! Does everything petroleum does with a lot less pollution! We already have the infrastructure for oil. Transitioning to hemp oil ought to be a no brainer! Recycled cooking oil is good too.
Humanity is just another geological homeostatic mechanism which keeps Earth's natural cycles stable (look up Lovelock's Gaia theories). From this point of view, human activity and volcanic activity are the only 2 processes releasing substantial amounts of C02 into the atmosphere, to balance the huge amounts of carbon sequestered from the atmosphere by plankton and laid down on the sea bed as carboniferous rocks. It's called the Carbon Cycle and it is the basis of life on Earth as we know it.
'Net Zero' Carbon is pure neo-Malthusian nonsense.
As someone who has closely followed climate change since age 12 (I'm 50 now), worked in a university climate lab, and has a solid understanding of plant growth, chemistry, and the carbon cycle, I have to respectfully disagree.
Yes, climate change is being used by the Davos crowd as a tool for coercion. They're all hypocrites, and their proposed solutions are BS. We probably agree on that.
First issue of contention... the idea that CO2 is plant food and we need more of it. Yes, it's utilized by plants, but it is almost *never* the limiting nutrient. Plants and tree growth is determined by the nutrient in shortest supply. Adding nitrogen fertilizer to a lawn that's short on water won't improve growth, and adding CO2 to the atmosphere will rarely improve vegetation growth. In a marijuana grow tent where everything is supplied in adequate quantities, adding CO2 gets utilized. In the real world where water, nitrogen, phosporous, and potassium are typically limiting factors... it doesn't do a whole lot.
The fact that CO2 has risen 50% in the last few centuries tells us what we really need to know. If it were plant food which was *actually being utilized*, we would not be seeing such a rise.
Also ignored is the fact that CO2 dissolves in seawater to create carbonic acid. We're now witnessing many parts of the world's oceans where the pH regularly drops low enough to dissolve calcium carbonate marine shells. This was observed 15 years ago on the Oregon coast as oyster growers found that they were unable to raise oyster seed, and is showing up all over now. The oceans aren't dead yet, but the trends aren't good.
Another factor of note is the fact that the heat trapping effects of CO2 take decades to become fully realized. Just as turning your oven to 400 degrees doesn't immediately make the oven's temperature 400 degrees, the earth has a "preheat time". Most of the CO2 we've emitted has been within the last few decades. Multiple feedback loops have now been triggered that will likely end human civilization imho.
I'd be happy to discuss in more detail with anyone who's interested. This subject has been a core concern of mine for my entire adult and teen life, and I've taken every possible opportunity to educate myself about it. About 2018, as major shifts started to become obvious, I grew seriously concerned - this was no longer an issue of what *would* happen. A massive die-off in the gulf of Alaska, or smoke filling the Puget Sound basin for weeks each summer, or the "heat dome" where friends near Bellingham WA recorded 116 degrees last year, are all hard to ignore. Seeing all this and more happen while climate concern actually decreased was too much for me -- I finally gave up, and came to accept what's going to happen.
Yes! I remember from school back in the day that CO2 was not labelled a bad thing. So always thought it odd that it has been marked as bad/evil now. The various prongs to depopulate and/or sicken/weaken carbon life forms (esp we humans) is breathtaking in it's scope and tenacity by those running the scam on us.

No diesel fuel= starvation and societal collapse it’s that simple really!
I'm not smart enough to make such a binary statement.
Just ask an environmental nutter WHY CO2 is bad for the environment. It is fun to watch them contort as they try to come up with an answer...
