The pope’s climate
conclave has come and gone, and with it went any hope this papacy would embrace
a rational assessment of the evidence concerning claims humans are causing
catastrophic climate change to inform his
message to the world.
Had the pope
bothered to consult scientists and economists outside his select circle of
climate alarmists tied to the politically-founded and directed U.N. Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change, he would have found almost every conclusion reached
concerning the alleged coming climate catastrophe, the merits of fossil fuels,
and the ability of low-density renewable energy technologies to raise the poor
from poverty was dead wrong.
The Papal
declaration on the moral dimensions of climate change stated, “Human-induced
climate change is a scientific reality, and its decisive mitigation is a moral
and religious imperative for humanity.”
This statement was
based almost entirely on model simulations of climate, not actual evidence. These models have repeatedly failed the test of reality at even the most
basic levels. The models project ever-rising temperature,
which they say are caused by increasing carbon-dioxide emissions. Despite an
ongoing rise in carbon-dioxide levels, temperatures plateaued more than 18 years ago and haven’t risen since.
Every year, the gap between climate model predictions and the actual
temperatures measured grows. The observed facts do not validate the models, and
when models and observations conflict, one should trust the observation, not
the models…….To Read More….
