"I don’t want to die!" Climate Exploitation of Children

Children are being used as proxies for climate change hysteria across Canada. Ecojustice is acting on behalf of children in taking the Ontario government to court of the relaxation of certain climate laws, and a key child turns out to be the child of a woman who is on the board of the non-profit foundation of “We Don’t Have Time” – the green billionaire carbon offset platform that uses Greta as their walking advertisement. The National Post has reported that even 7 year olds are being terrified in class on climate ‘We’re going to die’: Toronto mother says young daughter terrified by school presentation on climate change

Well one thing is certain,her child is going to die,Life kills us all.
Life being a sexually transmitted terminal disease.
At least in our case.
The foulness of this mass hysteria and particularly the child abuse aspect of gang Green is apparent to any who will look,this child abuse being as pernicious as the blatant racism of Gang Green.
Who are deliberately preventing the poor brown people of the world from enjoying cheap energy and the life extending benefits there of.
There is nothing noble about the corruption of these people,of course one would use her child to exploit the public purse, for with Gang green just follow the Green Backs.

Wow.
Next thing you’ll tell me, is that there is no Santa Claus.

The parents are the cause of global warming.
The children are afraid of dying from global warming, as told they will by the parents.
SOLUTION
The children must kill their parents to end global warming thus ensuring their own survival.

If they “don’t want to die”, then they can thank God that we have fossil fuels….otherwise they would freeze to death or die of starvation in short order.

I emailed this letter today and received a receipt from the Minister’s office.

Jason C Schilling
President, Alberta Teachers Association

Cc: Hon. Adriana LaGrange
Minister of Education

Subject: The Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) and the False Crisis of Global Warming Alarmism

Hello Mr. Schilling,

I have a daughter in Grade 6 in a Calgary Public School, and I am very happy with her school and its capable and dedicated teachers.

I should also advise you that this letter has been reviewed by some of the most competent scientists in the world.

The following presentation by Michelle Stirling is a well-informed rebuttal of Tzeporah Berman’s climate speech to the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA):
https://blog.friendsofscience.org/2018/12/18/were-smarter-than-this-michelle-stirlings-rebuttal-to-tzeporah-bermans-speech-to-the-alberta-teachers-association/

The science and politics of global warming alarmism is an area of my expertise, and I probably know more about this subject than anyone in the ATA. I have an accomplished career on six continents and have made outstanding contributions to the well-being of Calgary, Alberta and Canada.

Based on my two engineering degrees and my decades of analysis of this topic since ~1985, I conclude that global warming alarmism is a false crisis. One of my recent publications is included below.

I am concerned that school children are being propagandized and some are suffering from extreme anxiety due to fears of runaway global warming.
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/were-going-to-die-toronto-mother-says-young-daughter-terrified-by-school-presentation-on-climate-change

It is simply child abuse to support this false propaganda. I am shocked to learn that climate activist Steve Lee “has already spoken at dozens of student assemblies at high schools in Edmonton, Calgary and across Canada”.
https://edmontonjournal.com/business/local-business/david-staples-oil-and-gas-and-cattle-industries-under-fire-at-canadian-schools

It is truly wrong for Alberta teachers to encourage our children to take a radical position on this false crisis. It is even more wrong to encourage the irrational fear that is destroying the feelings of safety and security of our children.

This letter serves to put you, the ATA and its members on notice that promotion of the climate scare is false propaganda that is causing harm to our children.

Yours truly, Allan MacRae

CO2, GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE AND ENERGY

ABSTRACT

Global warming alarmism, which falsely assumes that increasing atmospheric CO2 causes catastrophic global warming, is disproved – essentially, it assumes that the future is causing the past. In reality, atmospheric CO2 changes lag global temperature changes at all measured time scales.

Nino34 Area Sea Surface Temperature changes, then tropical humidity changes, then atmospheric temperature changes, then CO2 changes.

The velocity dCO2/dt changes ~contemporaneously with global temperature changes and CO2 changes occur ~9 months later (MacRae 2008).

The process that causes the ~9-month average lag of CO2 changes after temperature changes is hypothesized and supported by observations.

The ~9-month lag, +/- several months, averages 1/4 of the full-period duration of the variable global temperature cycle, which averages ~3 years.

Based on the above observations, global temperatures drive atmospheric CO2 concentrations much more than CO2 drives temperature.

Climate sensitivity to increasing atmospheric CO2 must be very low, less than ~1C/(2*CO2) and probably much less.

There will be no catastrophic warming and no significant increase in chaotic weather due to increasing CO2 concentrations.

Increasing atmospheric CO2 clearly causes significantly improved crop yields, and may cause minor, beneficial global warming.

Atmospheric CO2 is not alarmingly high, it is too low for optimal plant growth and alarmingly low for the survival of carbon-based terrestrial life.

Other factors such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, etc may also increase atmospheric CO2. The increase of CO2 is clearly beneficial.

“Green energy” schemes are not green and produce little useful (dispatchable) energy, primarily because of the fatal flaw of intermittency.

There is no widely-available, cost-effective means of solving the flaw of intermittency in grid-connected wind and solar power generation.

Electric grids have been destabilized, electricity costs have soared and Excess Winter Deaths have increased due to green energy schemes.

It’s shame this video ends on the highly questionable claim that it’s mostly the sun. That is so easy to attack and so hard to back up it makes the whole thing easy to dismiss.

There was not need to say anything.

For Greg:

How will climate unfold in the next few years?

The failed very-scary catastrophic global warming (CAGW) hypothesis, which ASSUMES climate is driven primarily by increasing atmospheric CO2 caused by fossil fuel combustion, will again be disproved because fossil fuel combustion and atmospheric CO2 will continue to increase, CO2 albeit at a slower rate, while global temperatures cool.

This global cooling scenario has already happened from ~1940 to 1977, a period when fossil fuel combustion rapidly accelerated and atmospheric temperature cooled – that observation was sufficient to disprove the global warming hypothesis decades ago.

Contrary to the global warming hypothesis, CO2 is clearly NOT the primary driver of century-scale global climate, the Sun is – the evidence is conclusive and we’ve known this for decades.

In June 2015 Dr. Nir Shaviv gave an excellent talk in Calgary – his slides are posted here:
http://friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/Calgary-Solar-Climate_Cp.pdf
Slides 24-29 show the strong relationship between solar activity and global temperature.

Here is Shaviv’s 22 minute talk from 2019 summarizing his views on global warming:
Science Bits, Aug 4, 2019
http://www.sciencebits.com/22-minute-talk-summarizing-my-views-global-warming

At 2:48 in his talk, Shaviv says:
“In all cores where you have a high-enough resolution, you see that the CO2 follows the temperature and not vice-versa. Namely, we know that the CO2 is affected by the temperature, but it doesn’t tell you anything about the opposite relation. In fact, there is no time scale whatsoever where you see CO2 variations cause a large temperature variation.”

At 5:30 Shaviv shows a diagram that shows the close correlation of a proxy of solar activity with a proxy for Earth’s climate. More similar close solar-climate relationships follow.

Shaviv concludes that the sensitivity of climate to increasing atmospheric CO2 is 1.0C to 1.5C/(doubling of CO2), much lower than the assumptions used in the computer climate models cited by the IPCC, which greatly exaggerate future global warming.

At this low level of climate sensitivity, there is NO dangerous human-made global warming or climate change crisis.

Willie Soon’s 2019 video reaches similar conclusions – that the Sun is the primary driver of global climate, and not atmospheric CO2.
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/09/15/global-warming-fact-or-fiction-featuring-physicists-willie-soon-and-elliott-bloom/

Willie Soon’s best points start at 54:51, where he shows the Sun-Climate relationship and provides his conclusions.

There is a strong correlation between the Daily High Temperatures and the Solar Total Irradiance (54:51 of the video):

… in the USA (55:02),

Canada (55:16),

and Mexico (55:20).

Note that in Willie’s plots, the ~11-year solar cycle is also evident in the maximum daily temperatures. Strong global cooling occurred at the end of SC23 – we should expect even more cooling at the end of SC24.

I’ve had a read in the comments tallbloke now agrees c14 is more present in the atmosphere in solar mins but disagrees with the graph because it’s based on absorbing plant matter, trees ,of c14 so does the graph depict a correct increase in atmospheric c14 or not? Have your coffee Allan inwould be interested in your take. Cheers

See graph Allan, this single graph destroys the CO2 as a crisis BS. C02 does not even correlate with temperature in ice cores of the 8,000 years before the present.

With all of the oil burning, wood burning and coal burning that takes place in the great white north during the winter, why doesn’t it get warmer due to all of that added CO2? It’s as if CO2 doesn’t do anything with respect to warming.

If we don’t give up on our current lifestyle, capitalism, democracy, reality TV and steak dinners 7.5 billion people will die before the end of this century. If on the other hand we simple continue on enjoying the fruits of technology and innovation that solved most of human society’s problems and which could resolve the rest in a generation, 7.5 billion people will die before the end of this century. Death comes to all but I like the version where those who die do so at the end of a full, purposeful, well-fed and comfortable life. The U.N. seems to want us all to suffer and die early as happened before industrialization.

There is really no way to describe this other than Child Abuse. These parents should be removing their children from the school; possibly switching to homeschooling.

Hi Jeff – please see my letter above to the President of the Alberta Teachers Association..
If you want, add a letter of support. Even better, round up a few thousand such letters.

The three most scientific words in the world “We don’t know”. Use them often and explain to children that claims that we do know are not true. Predictions of the future are the purview of psychics, not scientists. Call the psychic hotline. In the end, it’s cheaper and just as accurate.
