Via. Greenie Watch 13 Jan 2015 How Many Of Worlds Poor Will Climate Alarmists Let Die? How many people do you want to kill or let die? Thats how Im going to respond from now on to anyone who argues we should end or sharply restrict fossil fuel use to prevent global warming. Arguing the science has no effect on global warming alarmists. They are immune to facts and stick to models and fallacious arguments from biased, unscientific authorities. Climate models say temperatures should climb right along with the rise in CO2 emissions, yet emissions rose from the 1940s through the 1970s, when scientists were warning of a coming ice age. And for the past two decades, CO2 emissions have continued to rise while temperatures have been in a holding pattern for the past 18 years. Models say we should see more intense hurricanes, yet for nearly a decade the U.S. has experienced below-average hurricanes making landfall, and they have been no more powerful than previously experienced. Sea-level rise has slowed, polar bear numbers have increased, the Antarctic ice sheet has set new records for expansion month after month and even the Arctic is back to average ice levels for the decade. None of these trends is consistent with models predictions, yet alarmists ignore the facts because controlling human lives is their underlying goal, and their failed models are the only thing that enables them to claim disaster is in the offing if humans dont change their ways. Arguing economics is equally ineffective. Multiple analyses show the best economic response to the challenges posed by global warming is to use fossil fuels to grow peoples wealth globally and adapt to climate changes as they come — basically doing what humans have done throughout history. In The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, author Alex Epstein makes a key point: Climate is no longer a major cause of deaths, thanks in large part to fossil fuels. ... The popular climate discussion .. . looks at man as a destructive force for climate livability, one who makes the climate dangerous because we use fossil fuels. In fact, the truth is the exact opposite; we dont take a safe climate and make it dangerous; we take a dangerous climate and make it safe. Humans have long fought a war with climate, and where weve won it has been through the use of technology, most recently including the use of fossil fuels. Although there are many distinctions between developed economies and developing ones, a critical difference is the widespread availability and use of fossil fuels to improve living conditions.
