The Climate Chronicles Quotes

“The oceans have 1,000 times the heat capacity of air. Assuming air is a homogeneous mixture, with CO2 being 1/2500th of air, it would mean that in the ocean/air system, CO2’s contribution is 1/250000. According to the article above, man’s contribution to CO2 is 1.13 percent. I have seen figures as high as 5 percent, so I will use 5 percent as the baseline. Man’s contribution to the heat capacity of the entire system would be 1/5,000,000. Since the U.S. is responsible for 20 percent of that figure, our contribution to all this is 1/10,000,000. So over this we should enact draconian laws that slow down our economy and inhibit the chance for people to prosper?”

It takes more energy to heat cold homes and businesses than it does to cool warm ones. Life does better when it’s warmer, not colder. I am not for shutting down research and development. I am for identifying problems and having the freedom to confront them with sound, rational approaches based on reality, not excuses.”

Framework Convention on Climate Change until [2016], openly stated in 2015 that the goal was to overturn capitalism — in her words, ‘to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution.”
