Junk science

December 23, 2015 by Guest Post

Global warming being caused by greenhouse gases = global BS!
Let’s apply some logic to the theory that greenhouse gas increases cause global warming. If greenhouse gas increases cause global warming, then it is logical to assume that decreases in greenhouse gases should cause global cooling! Well, data from satellites, weather balloons, and ground stations show there was about a 13-year cooling period since 2001. All that happened when mankind continued to produce increasing amounts of greenhouse gases. Funny thing, increased greenhouse gas production should have increased temperatures, but it didn’t- temperatures cooled! That just shot a big hole in that global warming theory! Maybe, just maybe, increasing greenhouse gases isn’t the global warming contributor that liberal activists claim!
There has been periodic cycling of warming and cooling temperature trends over centuries. Liberal activists tout that increased CO2 levels are the main contributing factor to the global warming theory. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the atmosphere’s CO2 content has increased by about 120 parts per million, perhaps the result of mankind’s contribution. With CO2 concentration levels continuing to rise, it seems logical to assume the global temperatures should continue to rise – if the global warming theory is correct. But if the theory is correct, why are we experiencing cyclic trends of warming and cooling? You are right, the theory doesn’t hold true! Theories cannot be an on again/off again thing to be correct! So, it should be very evident to any common sense observer that there has to be some other significantly influencing factors causing periodic global warming/cooling trends!
Liberal activists, once they find some outlandish cause to flaunt, won’t change tactics even when confronted by facts demonstrating they are wrong! Some people must enjoy interjecting superfluous “facts” into the global warming discussion, thereby clearly demonstrating that they don’t apply the cause and effect approach to understanding global warming! Continuing to fetch and publish superfluous “facts” doesn’t change reality!
Plainly stated and contrary to liberal activists’ ramblings, there is not any scientific basis for attributing global warming trends to greenhouse gas increases.
I am politically conservative and in denial of the greenhouse gas global warming theory- as supported by logical justification!
