The Greatest Fraud Ever Perpetrated on Society

| Dec 16, 2021 |   @ America Out Loud

Too many of us stand on the sidelines silently while lies proliferate on climate change and our nation’s energy. They are spread among possibly well-meaning folks who are simply ignorant of the reality because, 24/7, they hear those lies from the mainstream media. The lies told by Marxist so-called environmentalists and government-supported academicians. 

These globalists are hoping to take down the country of our Founding Fathers and replace it with the failed ideas of Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, and now, Obama and Biden. They are probably miserably unhappy people bent on destroying what was and will be again The American Way.

Yes, eliminating fossil fuels is a suicidal plan already underway in nations such as Canada, Australia, and Germany that are entering energy desperation. Here is a comprehensive list of 23 basic truisms that might shock even you, my dear reader, that must be spread to stop the wave of economic suicidal thinking. Please share these truths with the world.

1 /  Talking about decarbonizing life would be the same as ending all life. All life on Earth is carbon-based.

2 /  When the left talks of carbon, they really mean carbon dioxide, but they want you to envision soot and coal dust.

3 /  Carbon dioxide is under no circumstances a pollutant. It is a gas that allows plants to grow and animals to survive.

4 /  The concept of a carbon footprint is a fraud. It really describes how much carbon dioxide your lifestyle emits.

5 /  At 420 parts per million (ppm) carbon dioxide in today’s atmosphere, we are finally out of danger of starving all plant life of this necessary gas. Plants can not survive when CO2 is below 150 ppm. We were perilously close to that concentration when the atmosphere had only 280ppm before World War II.

6 /  We have found no level of carbon dioxide, which is injurious to human health. We know nuclear submarines travel around the world underwater with an average of 5000 ppm of carbon dioxide in the air, and no illness has ever occurred as a result.

7 /  Renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar may be of value to your home if you have a windmill or photovoltaic cells in your back yard or roof feeding electricity directly into your home. However, no wind or solar power has any value to add power to an electric grid of which the US has three, East, West, and Texas. The grids can never afford to depend on intermittent power contributions. Therefore for every kilowatt-hour of power of wind or solar on the grid, they must install an equal or greater amount of fossil fuel power running at 100% at all times, ready to replace wind or solar when the wind does not blow at a proper speed, or the sun does not shine. That is called the Ciccone/Lehr renewable electric energy Rule of Thumb.

8 /  All the wind and solar power attached to an electric grid add no power at all, only the cost of constructing the backup fossil fuel power.

9 /  All nations that have invested heavily in wind or solar are seeing their energy costs skyrocket, and brownouts and blackouts become more common.

10 /  No scientist not competing for government funding believes that the impact of carbon dioxide on the Earth’s temperature is other than insignificant. But many continue to search for whatever small impact might exist. This gives the left a chance to argue in favor of a larger impact. None has been proven to exist.

11 /  The Green New Deal promoted by socialists, leftists, Marxists, and environmental radicals is intended to bring all activities of our lives under government control when insufficient energy must be rationed.

12 /  No productive society can be run on intermittent wind and solar power, but the effort to do so will injure every member of society except those hoping to become its rulers.

13 /  Every claim that the continued use of coal, natural gas, and oil is dangerous to society is a totally falsehood. However, it is intended to scare the masses with little ability to reason critically.

14 /  Human-caused global warming does not exist. The Earth’s temperature has varied since the Earth was formed billions of years ago, long before Homo sapiens walked the Earth.

15 /  Human-caused global temperature change is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on society.

16 /  In the 1970s, many believed the Earth was cooling, and every popular magazine had illustrations of the coming ice ages. When cooling did not occur, and the scare ended, power-seekers changed their tune to global warming, whose fear-mongering still exists today. However, a large number of climatologists now do believe that in about two decades, the Earth may cool a small and manageable amount.

17 /  No computer model has ever correctly predicted the Earths’ temperature a decade into the future, and yet radicals want us to change our economy based on model predictions a century into the future.

18 /  The effort to eliminate all coal, natural gas, and oil is a worldwide effort by those who desire a one-world socialist government.

19 /  Most of the billionaires who control our media, lack only one thing in their lives, which is the power to run your life and the world. They already have all the possessions money can buy. They believe that having been smart enough to build companies to amass such wealth, they are smart enough to run our lives better than we can.

20 /  While so many people think only of fuel and energy when they desire to eliminate coal, natural gas, and oil from our lives; they fail to recognize that over 6000 products require derivatives from oil. Likely 80% of the items in the room in which you are reading this essay would not exist without products derived from hydrocarbons.

21 /  Nearly every year, the United Nations holds a conference to discuss climate change. They are titled Conferences Of Parties or COPs. To date, 26 have been held, the latest convened in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021. Their purpose is to discuss the elimination of fossil fuels and thereby reduce the increase in the Earth’s temperature based on mathematical models. Each year they request billions of dollars in reparations from the countries that have emitted large quantities of carbon dioxide. These funds are to be given to each undeveloped country to repair claimed damage from other countries’ CO2 emissions, of which no harm has been proven. Details were partially established at the Paris Accord, which was COP 15. To date, little money has been given or received, and each meeting is like the last in which as many as 25,000 bureaucrats assemble at lush vacation spots to discuss a fantasy now labeled The Theater of the Absurd by this author.

22 /  No greater force behind promoting human-caused climate change is the United Nations who wishes to enhance its power over all the counties of the world.

23 /  The vast majority of materials required to build wind turbines and solar power systems are made in China. Need I say more?


Dr. Jay Lehr

Dr. Jay Lehr is a Senior Policy Analyst with the International Climate Science Coalition and former Science Director of The Heartland Institute. He is an internationally renowned scientist, author, and speaker who has testified before Congress on dozens of occasions on environmental issues and consulted with nearly every agency of the national government and many foreign countries. After graduating from Princeton University at the age of 20 with a degree in Geological Engineering, he received the nation’s first Ph.D. in Groundwater Hydrology from the University of Arizona. He later became executive director of the National Association of Groundwater Scientists and Engineers.
