Firstly, you assume I use Ai to write my opinions. I don’t. I certainly use Ai for a lot of things, including research. Anyone who is not using Ai, or learning the benefits of Ai technology, is missing out. Ai will have greater influence on our future than anything previously created throughout history. I read up a lot about climate stuff. I don’t profess to be an expert. But neither are those who abuse me for my opinion. For what is worth, here’s my explanation. The basic philosophy of climate change is the Earth has a heat-trapping blanket of air around it. Climate change activists claim that burning fuel like petrol, coal and gas, are making that blanket thicker. A thicker blanket means the planet gets warmer. They argue that man-made CO2 creates a warmer planet, which causes more severe climate events. The climate argument is that the longer we keep thickening the blanket, the harder it becomes to fix. That’s the theory.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ They exaggerate the speed at which this will be a factor. The vast majority of catastrophic predictions over the past 50 years have simply not occurred. Not even close. My own children, smart kids, all now in their 20s, educated in Australian schools, were at one time completely convinced, (and panicking), that the planet would end within a decade unless man stop producing CO2. They would get very upset with me, because I would say that this is not going to happen, certainly not in such a ridiculously short time frame they were fearing. Younger people have been educated to think this way. People are making a fortune, governments are being elected, purely on the fear-mongering premise that humans are changing the climate and the planet is in jeopardy. Fact - CO2 makes up less than 0.04% of the atmosphere. Human produced CO2 is only a fraction of that small number. Blaming CO2 for global warming is like blaming a drop of ink for changing the colour of your swimming pool. The Sun drives our climate far more powerfully than any gas. Exposure to the Sun warms oceans. Warmer oceans release CO2 naturally. Therefore, CO2 may well be a consequence of warming, not the cause. History backs this up. Earth had warming and cooling cycles long before humans existed. More CO2 actually makes for a healthier planet. Plants grow faster. Forests and crops thrive. This is happening now. It’s been proven. A slightly warmer, CO2 rich planet, makes for a healthier planet. Humans think in terms of human survival, rather than accepting the planet has always changed, adapted, and renewed across its 4.5 billion year history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Human existence is in jeopardy in the longer term. Not the health of the planet. The planet will survive much longer than the human race. It will not be global warming that kills the human race. The human race will self destruct long before any climate event removes them. Human philosophy for changing the climate, is actually leading to economic harm and quality of life deterioration. The costs are greater than the proposed cures. They want to dedicate trillions of dollars and cripple our energy systems chasing Net Zero - a target with no scientific guarantee it will change the climate one degree. The idea that human industrial policy can influence global temperature, is arguably as arrogant as the belief that humans are powerful enough to destroy the planet in the first place. I’m all for reducing pollution, cleaning up our environment, protecting our water supplies. That’s common sense. I’m against the economic and social damage we are inflicting on ourselves through ridiculous energy policies, which will have zero effect on the climate in the long run. That’s my opinion. It seems to upset climate change believers. I don’t care. Not for one minute do I think my opinion matters, or that it will change anything. But I do think the world thinking is slowly turning back the other way. I’m hoping so, anyway.
