I hope the Climate Activists are proud of the effect their lies are having on the younger generation

If this survey is real the messages these young people are receiving are completely wrong.

We need to reduce our impact on our planet but CO2 is a complete red herring. The current ECS (temperature increase for a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere) is centred around 3°C (IPCC AR6). The 2°C will destroy civilisation is simply made up.

  • What we know is that the Roman Warm Period, the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age were documented where the population produced documentation. They were obviously of sufficient magnitude to warrant being recorded. The actual temperature changes are much harder to determine, work with various proxies has been carried out, but the influence of more rapidly changing weather systems makes these difficult to determine. Tree rings are affected by temperature and rainfall. Was it a cold year or a dry year?

    What is difficult to determine is what happened in areas where there was no population to record any significant changes. One of the many theories suggests that there was a seesaw effect and the southern hemisphere cooled whilst the northern hemisphere warmed, a version of the ocean oscillations. This can only be determined by proxy temperature data which is much harder to calibrate in unpopulated areas.

    Changes certainly took place. Is it reasonable to attempt to wipe them from the climate record because they don’t support your theory. True science would adjust the theory to match the data.
