Climate alarmists claim incessantly that all bad weather is caused by man’s use of hydrocarbon fuels – oil, gas, and coal. They insist that man-made carbon dioxide is the trump card in the climate game.  Their computerized models of doom assume ever-rising levels of carbon dioxide, which will trump all natural climate controllers. Unfortunately for their credibility, since at least the year 2000, global temperatures have trended level despite significant increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide. The sun is the primary source of almost all of Earth’s heat.  It is becoming increasingly clear that this gigantic heat generator, with its varying cycles and emissions, is the Joker in the climate game. Then there are the massive oceans, whose vast heat capacity and ever-changing currents and oscillations also regularly trump the steady but tiny influence from man’s industry. In order to explain the failure of their carbon-centric forecasts, the...(Read Full Post)
