Despite his acknowleged thievery a little while ago, Peter Gleick seems to be back in the good books of Warmists. Why not? Dishonesty is part and parcel of Warmism.
Peter hasn't got any brighter, though. He is one of the chorus noting the latest figures from Mauna Loa which catalog the relentless rise of atmospheric CO2 -- a rise which is already benefiting third world agriculture as plants find it easier to drag in their basic building blocks. The steady rise at Mauna Loa has passed what Warmists seem to see (for no obvious scientific reason) as a watershed mark -- the level of 400ppm. So Peter seems to be having a bit of an orgasm over this particular point in the rise of CO2
Peter fails to come to grips with another fact, however: That temperature is not rising too. Wasn't a CO2 rise supposed to cause a temperature rise? Wasn't that the basic thesis of Warmism? So if the present CO2 level is so remarkable, isn't it equally remarkable that temperature has not risen too? Surely what we are looking at is a remarkable disproof of Warmism?
And here's another bit of logic that seems to have slipped past Pete: His headine is "The Last Time Atmospheric CO2 was at 400 parts per million Humans Didn’t Exist". Taking that at face value, doesn't it show that humans are NOT the cause of the present "high" level of CO2? Last time we reached that level there were NO people! If both no people and 7.5 billion people (the present world population) produce the same level of CO2, where has the correlation between CO2 levels and human meddling gone? The data throw out the door another correlation central to Warmism. No correlation means no causal relationship. Even David Hume conceded that. "High" CO2 levels were natural last time so why not this time? Humans are not needed in the equation at all.
By his example, Peter shows clearly that Warmism rots the brain.
My thanks for Jon allowing me to publish his work, and for those who may not be familiar with the Peter Gleick story in "honesty", or lack thereof, I have linked some posts below.
