There is an estimated 14 trillion barrels in the ground waiting to be pumped. And that is just what has been discovered so far. Yet, all the petroleum used by the world's people since its discovery in 1859 amounts to about one trillion barrels of oil.
Interfering with oil production is causing prices to skyrocket and wrecking economies.
If the rules for scientific investigation are not followed, the science is flawed, and the conclusions reached are probably erroneous.
To this date absolutely no evidence has been provided that the trace gas carbon dioxide is a significant driver of climate.
Established theories are questioned and sometimes overturned.
It is the very nature of science to be skeptical.
This is not a conspiracy theory but an easily-provable fact, determined by comparing previously published graphs with the newer editions of the same graphs published later by these agencies after they had changed the data.
The truth is that in the 1920s and 1930s temperatures were similar to today’s and even warmer.
the year 1911 there was a terrible heat wave that killed tens of thousands of people in Europe and the United States. This is verified by looking at newspaper articles from 1911. In France alone 41,000 people died.4 In Nashua, New Hampshire, the temperature reached 106° F. Yet strangely, NASA's graph indicates that 1911 was a cold year.
Why did the graph they released in 2018 show the 1960s as their starting point? Because the decade of the 1960s was the coolest of the past century.
the equation climatologists have been using is incorrect, because it fails to start with the baseline: Earth's temperature without greenhouse gases. Without the greenhouse effect, Earth's average temperature would only be about 260K (-13 degrees C).
Therefore, if somehow all human-caused CO2 emissions were to immediately cease, by the year 2050 just 0.2 of a degree of warming would be averted. This would cost many trillions of dollars, even if possible, and no one would even notice 0.2 degrees.
$3.6 trillion as the cost of re-engineering the grid to meet the net-zero target."
The truth is that Arctic ice has been at approximately the same level for the past thirty years, and we have the records to prove it.
greenhouse gases,
Without these gases the earth's average temperature, about 15°C, (59°F.) would instead be 28 degrees colder, - 13°C. (close
Contrary to what we’ve been told, the main greenhouse gas is water vapor. Making up about 3% of Earth’s atmosphere, water vapor is at least seventy times as powerful in atmospheric warming as is carbon dioxide, which makes up only about 0.04% of the atmosphere:
Most CO2 in the atmosphere is emitted from the oceans and the tropics of South America and Africa,
CO2 also comes from the earth's interior through volcanoes.
The earth has over 1500 active volcanoes, many of which spew lava underwater through cracks where te...

every year carbon dioxide is more prevalent in the winter. Plants absorb it in the summer, which lowers the amount recorded just a bit.
The photos of ominous looking clouds rising from the chimneys of coal burning plants, portrayed in the media, are actually clouds, not carbon dioxide. Whereas you can see clouds — made of tiny drops of liquid water — carbon dioxide is an invisible gas which can’t be seen in photographs.These
The source of these clouds is combustion, of which water is a product.
The earth’s oceans, covering about 70% of our planet, contain about 40,000 gigatons [billion tons] of CO2. This is 50 times as much as the
atmosphere holds: 800 gigatons.
We’ve been told repeatedly by the media that because of increased CO2 the oceans are becoming more acidic. This made-up story is also scientifically impossible. Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, a weak acid [H2CO3]. When CO2 is released from the ocean into the atmosphere, there’s less, not more, carbon dioxide - and carbonic acid - in the water. So when ocean water warms, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, it becomes less — not more — acidic.
The pH of ocean water ranges from 7.5 to 8.3. Ocean water is basic, not acidic.
methane makes up just 0.00002% of the atmosphere — totally insignificant — meaning that this is just another huge scare tactic.
Arctic peat bogs that are frozen over in the winter are one of the largest natural sources of methane.
Because of strict hunting regulations, the number of polar bears has been increasing for many years.
This claim has been debunked by several other studies. A study by Legates found that only 41 of these 11,944 papers (or 0.3%) stated that most of the warming since 1950 was man made.9
"90% of scientists agree with the people who fund them."
On the other hand, in the 2007 Global Warming Petition project 31,487 scientists, over 9,000 of whom had PhD’s, signed the following declaration: “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases is causing, or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.”11
Scientists choosing to investigate natural rather than man-made causes of warming are denied research grants.
On Nov. 29, 2012, 125 scientists wrote an open letter to the United Nations 14declaring that there is no climate emergency. This was ignored.
discovered the cause of that warming: a chain of about 90 active volcanoes hidden under this glacier.
According to NASA, the total amount of ice in Antarctica has been increasing for several decades.16 The Antarctic glacier, containing about 90% of the earth’s fresh water, is exceptionally stable. It is almost three miles thick (16,400 feet) in the center. NASA stated, “The Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice per year from 1992 to 2001.”
Temperatures for the past 40 years The average temperature in Antarctica is -58° F. To get the ice to melt, you’d have to raise that temperature about 90° to water's melting point of 32°F. That’s a huge increase in temperature.
The Greenland glacier is melting at the edges but getting thicker in the interior. Of course, every summer there is some melting of icebergs near the ocean. The following winter that melted ice is replaced by more snowfall. This has been occurring for thousands of years.
“Melting in the Arctic reached an all-time high in June. Ice has been disappearing at 29,000 square miles a day.”
“This is near the average daily rate of melt in the brief Arctic summer, but few people know this is natural.
Approximately ten million km² melts every summer in approximately 145 days.”
He reports that the sea level has been rising at an average rate of only 1.1 mm – about the thickness of your fingernail – per year.
This sea level increase adds up to about seven inches per
century, not the 1-2 meters (39 -78 inches) per century incorrectly predicted.
Because land can also be rising or sinking — a phenomenon called isostasy — sea level is tricky to measure. After the mile-thick Laurentide
glacier covering Canada 20,000 years ago melted, that part of the North American Continent started rising, while the southern end of the continent bordering the Gulf of Mexico began to sink.30 This includes the Miami area, which is why we've been told that sea level is increasing there.
As you can see from this list of the ten worst hurricanes in US history, the great majority occurred before the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere began to rise. The only recent ones were Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Ian in 2022. 1) 1900 Great Galveston Hurricane 2) 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane
3) 2005 Hurricane Katrina 4) 1893 Chenière Caminada Hurricane 5) 1893 Sea Islands Hurricane 6) 1881 Georgia/South Carolina Hurricane 7) 1957 Hurricane Audrey 8) 1935 Great Labor Day Hurricane 9) 1856 Last Island Hurricane 10) 1926 Great Miami Hurricane39
Florida was hit by seven major hurricanes in the 1940s. Six major hurricanes slashed the east coast in the 1950s. But not a single major hurricane made landfall in the entire United States from 2005 to 2017."
