The UN’s weather and climate agency, the World Meteorological Organisation, has recently claimed that atmospheric CO2 was up by a “record amount” in 2024. This is not true says Herb Pinder. Recently, the CO2 levels have declined to near extinction of life levels.
The UN is a power-hungry behemoth, relentlessly propagating fear, he says. These latest mistruths are merely part of the UN’s ongoing grasp for control.
There was another menacing headline in the Toronto Sun on 15 October, providing a cogent example of the thesis of my recent column – the deliberate hyperbole and blatant dishonesty of the United Nations. No doubt widely published, from the World Meteorological Organisation (the UN’s weather and climate agency), “CO2 in the atmosphere is up by a record amount in 2024, the biggest one-year jump since recording began in 1957.” This is misleading and likely, for much of the media and its readers, successfully so.
My recent column reviewed estimated CO2 levels of 800 ppm, 600 million years ago, 20 times higher than today, and 500 million years ago, 10 times higher. For reasons no one can claim with any assurance, more recently, the level of CO2 declined very close to the extinction level of 150 ppm. An important and relevant observation pointed out by my Editor – the end game of Net Zero is, by definition, also the end of life.
Previously explained but worth repeating, the unique mix of water, carbon dioxide and oxygen fosters life on Earth.
Eliminate any of them, and plant, animal and human life terminates. The Net Zero objective is a silly and impossible outcome, also revealing the paucity of science underlying the climate crisis...<<<Read More>>>...
