Every time there is a major volcanic eruption on the planet, more pollutants are thrown into the upper atmosphere in a day than all the fossil fuel emissions since the discovery that coal burns, prior to the industrial revolution. Yes, both have an effect on the climate, but which one do you think is greater?
Climate alarmists like Swedish high school dropout Greta Thunberg can stand on an outdoor stage at a massive “Climate Change” rally and rant about how we must totally eliminate the use of fossil fuels or we’ll all be under water in a few years. What she doesn’t mention is that the power for the lights and public address system comes from a massive diesel powered generator backstage.
In truth, the whole climate change issue is like an elaborate game of “Wack-a-Mole” at the county fair. In the 1970’s and 80’s the big fear was that we were about to enter a new Ice Age because of global cooling, induced by a hole in the protective Ozone Layer, and caused by the propellants in women’s hair spray. When that was debunked they moved on to fluorocarbons in refrigerators, freezers and air-conditioners.
Next, professors at a small college in Britain came up with the theory of “Global Warming” to justify the continuance of their grant to study the supposed phenomena. Initially the scientific community jumped on like lemmings, and there was said to be a “consensus” among scientists that it was actually happening. However, as actual data was examined dispassionately, it became obvious that the planet wasn’t warming at a rapid rate at all. Back to the drawing board. Continue reading Volcanos and Cow Farts!
