Climate change nut gets bashed

This is in response to an article written by Eric Smith entitled, "Climate change a danger, not an opinion.  He describes himself as an "aspiring" writer.

As an aspiring writer, Eric Smith should stick to poetry.  As a science writer, he’s just another progressive hack.

His opponents are the “deniers.”  His opinion is not an opinion but statements of scientific facts.  And we’re all going to burn in hell if we don’t do as he says.  He tries to settle a scientific question by means of dialectics.

Anthropogenic global warming is a term no longer in fashion, and has been replaced by the anodyne “climate change.”  When you say “man-caused global warming,” the theory starts to become a little shaky because global warming stopped inexplicably in 1998 and has not resumed.  All the forecasts of doom made since 1988, when man-caused global warming was first proposed, have turned out to be completely wrong.

If you google the term “atmospheric absorption spectra” you will discover the reason why more CO2 in the atmosphere is not the immediate threat that some say it is.  The CO2 already in the atmosphere already absorbs all the infrared radiation that CO2 can absorb.  Adding more CO2 won’t absorb more radiation.

You will also notice that water vapor is a far more powerful absorber of infrared radiation, which is why concerns over bovine flatulence is another fool’s errand.

Climate change is a con and a fraud.  The solution to climate change is always massive increases in government power and intervention into private lives  It is an excuse for progressivism to engage in more economic vandalism.
