Twelve Reasons There Is No ‘Climate Emergency’
I’m not a scientist. But I have reasons why I don’t fully trust the ‘climate emergency’ narrative
Here they are:
- Looking back through history, there have always been doomsday prophets, folk who say the world is coming to an end. Are modern-day activists not just the current version of this?
- I look at some of the facts – CO2 is 0.04 percent of the atmosphere; humans are responsible for just three percent of that CO2. Britain is responsible for just one percent of the world’s CO2 output – and I think “really“? Will us de-carbonising really make a difference to the Earth’s climate?
- I have listened to some top scientists who say CO2 does not drive global warming; that CO2 in the atmosphere is a good or vital thing; that many other things, like the Sun and the clouds and the oceans, are more responsible for the Earth’s temperature.
- I note that most of the loudest climate activists are socialists and on the Left. Are they not just using this movement to push their dreams of a deindustrialised socialist utopia? And I also note the crossover between green activists and BLM ones, gender ones, none of whom I like or agree with.
- As an amateur psychologist, I know that humans are susceptible to manias. I also know that humans tend to focus on tiny slivers of time and on tiny slivers of geographical place when forming ideas and opinions. We are also extremely malleable and easily fooled, as was demonstrated in 2020 and 2021.
- I have looked into the implications of Net Zero. It is incredibly expensive. It will vastly reduce living standards and hinder economic growth. I don’t think that’s a good thing. I know that economic growth has led to higher living standards, which has made people both safer and more environmentally aware.
- Net Zero will also lead to significant diminishment of personal freedom, and it even threatens democracy, as people are told they must do certain things and they must not do other things, and they may even be restricted in speaking out on climate matters.
- What will be the worst things that will happen if the doomsayers are correct? A rise in temperature? Where? Siberia? Singapore? Stockholm? What is the ideal temperature? For how long? Will this utopia be forever maintained? I’m suspicious of utopias; the communists sought utopias.
- If one consequence of climate change is rising sea levels, would it not be better to spend money building more sea defences to protect our land? Like the Dutch did.
- It’s a narrative heavily pushed by the Guardian. I dislike the Guardian. I believe it’s been wrong on most issues through my life – socialism, immigration, race, the EU, gender, lockdowns and so on. Probably it’s wrong about climate issues too?
- I am suspicious of the amount of money that green activists and subsidised green industries make. And 40 years ago the greenies were saying the Earth was going to get too cold. Much of what they said would happen by now has not happened. Also, I trust ‘experts’ much less now, after they lied about the efficacy of lockdowns, masks and the ‘vaccines’.
- I like sunshine. I prefer being warm to being cold. It makes me feel better. It’s more fun. It saves on heating bills. It saves on clothes. It makes people happier. Far fewer people die of heat than they do of cold.

I have my reasons as well. I have past the age where most people die and none of what is being said is true. The proof is all around you.

“Twelve Reasons There Is No ‘Climate Emergency’” Well there is, but it’s quite the opposite of what they are telling us.

Agriculture is a proxy for the climate – if people get enough food they thrive –
In the hottest continent , Africa , the population will double by 2050.

People want to believe people in authority, they want to believe scientists. Anthony Fauci is a prime example in recent times of a self-serving POS. Scientists want to keep the grant money flowing and when you control the authoritative publications you can tell the people, who have zero clue about how bloody little .04% is or how even more little 3% of that number is. And the blithering fools are trying to kill life on this rock. I know that people that read PS are smart, way smarter than little old me but 400ppm, 12ppm are the numbers and it just doesn’t matter. A factoid on this green BS, a battery farm in Southern California is on fire, it’s used 4 MILLION gallons of water so far and and is expected to run out of fuel in about 4 months. Luckily this thing isn’t near residential areas, BUT WHERE is that toxic water going? I’m going to bet into the Pacific Ocean.
