    Default C19 insight to climate change

    With all the impact of the Woo hoo flu, i was thinking how this paints the rosey picture of what the world would look like if we go after the zero emissions the green world savers want.

    For a start we already are getting a look at no air travel. All those grounded planes are going to make the green concerned so happy and no doubt make a differene we will see to the worlds climate.

    The fact so many places in the world are in lockdown and people cant drive to work also gives us an insight to a zero emissions future when we go beyond electric cars that still need manufacturing which is a terrible carbon emitter, to hardly anyone having a car at all.

    When people loose their jobs just like they will persuing zero emissions, then there wont be the spending on goods and services like their have been so another win for the climate cause. No money for tvs and computers, home appliances and all the other carbon emitters we can live without.

    Meat is already hard to get so people will be able to get used to that and will realise they didnt really want it anyway no doubt . Same will go for single use toilet paper. Either re use it or just use your hand like they were happy to do in days past. So mNy ways to cut our impact on the planet and live better.

    If things get really good with all this, people will be able to get used to eating lentils and maybe grass clippings as long as it doesnt make them fart.

    If the power goes out, it will be just like living with renewable energy so a valuable insight to convince people the benifits of that to the environment as well. Just spent $10k on batteries and panels and while ever its been a sunny day you are fine.

    All this shutdown across the world will also no doubt mean a huge drop in emissions that will show up as reduced co2 levels. Given so much of it man made, this will show up on every measurement proving once bv and for all just how important the whole climate change situation is.

    Going back to living like villagers from the 1800s with reduced travel and much less emissions will demonstrate just how much fun we can still have under a zero emissions mandate.

    Just because it appeared the people went from prioritizing saving the planet to wiping their arse and hoarding bog roll, i think it should not be seen as when push comes to shove in a real threat to peoples well being they forget all abut whats going to happen in 50 years and are more concerned about surviving today.
    That is just the right wing media and Trump trying to pacify the deniers. I mean look at all the protests and people still gluing themselves to the road you are still hearing about. This crisis hasnt put them off one bit has it?

    For the doubters this proves the concern level people really have for the green agenda and its supporters unfailing resolve. Its a great insight to the future under the climate change prevention model and who isnt enjoying all the effects and outcomes its having on our way of life now?

    Im sure having seen the light and the numbers that will come in showing the massive improvements in co2 levels, no one will want to return to life the way it was and globull warming will finaly be embraced with all the support it deserves.

    Or in other words, every cloud has a silver lining, George. Perhaps you should have posted this in the jokes thread.

    My view has always been that the majority of the arguments in the affirmative about ‘climate change’ are made by people with a false understanding of the issue.

    However, the extended reduction in the consumption of travel/goods/etc that we are currently seeing, and will continue to see for some time, will give a good indication as to whether man does or does not have a noticeable and measurable effect on the climate.

    If a noticeable and measurable effect is shown, then restrictions put in place by COVID-19 may actually assist those behind climate change argument. Time will tell.

    It was already noticed on satellite images a couple of weeks after Wuhan shut down
    However all the countries will need their economy back ASAP in double shifts so they are unlikely to worry about climate change for a while.

    For a significant buildup in greenhouse gasses that has been occurring for almost 200 years, to change to an extent that is noticeable outside the natural seasonal changes, would be most unlikely. Especially when the changes in the other direction from two world wars, and several huge volcanic eruptions, over that time, have hardly made a bump on the trend line. However as you say, time will tell.

    I was just looking at my favourite leftie greenwahed forum that goes to laughable lengths to promote the green hysteria and remove anything that does not promote that agenda.

    Fk me they have all gone quiet!

    I really hope a lot of these innercity bedwetters really get hit hard with consequences of the very things and ideals they are forever forcing down peoples throats.

    What was a climate emergency a fortnight ago is now forgotten as these virtue signalling useless loudmouths are getting a taste of what a REALemergency is and its effects.
    The greens political party suddenly became totally and utterly redundant. At least the 2 majors are starting to work together and independently to help in this crisis.

    What the fk are the one trick pony greentards doing now with this emergency and where the fk are they? Holed up in their inner city apartments shitting their pants I'll bet.
    The were on the box every day during the bushfires pointing the finger and grandstanding on tragedy and death but now they can't go against their lefty agedas and blame the Chinese and appear racist can they?

    So what do they have to offer in this time of greatest need?
    1/10th of fk all is what. Nothing in the way of leadership, soloutions or even an appearance i have seen. Totally and utterly USELESS..... which is in fact an improvement over the hinderance and insult to peoples intelligence they were a few months ago.

    Lets see how many will still be stupid enough to support them now? Gaurantee there will be some but these will be the pick of the crop in ignorant and greenwashed.

    I read on the greenwashed site one serial moron lamenting this has put the green movement back 10 years. I thought if i live through the woo hoo flu and have to put up with another years of that bullshit, I'm going to be the first serial killer in history that used nothing but their bare hands to remove hundreds.

    Now THATwould really be saving the planet!!!

    Finally, they are forced to crawl back in their holes and shut the fk up because even those offensive prats cant spin this one on their one and only narrative.
    They certainly don't have anything to offer in the way of help or soloutions.

    Shows how laughably inept they would be at running the country thats for sure!

    Exactly!

    The amount of co2 man puts out now is insignificant anyway.
    Remove it all and its still insignificant. I'm not even sure the greentards will be able to spin something remotely believeable when whatever number they hatch up has 4 zeros in front of it as a percentage of difference.

    Wonder seeing SA have closed their borders if that includes stopping all the coal and gas fired power they bring in from other states?

    Yep, had to change the narrative to suit the agenda once again.

    ‘Largest scale experiment ever’ shows what is possible as satellite images reveal marked fall in global nitrogen dioxide levels
    Since when has Nitrogen Dioxide been in the headlines? this is all about carbon emissions remember?
    Obviously that hasn't Changed Jack shit or we'd be hearing all about it and having it rammed down our throats like never before. Instead, they cherry pick something rarely ever mentioned before and use that as proof they were right all along.

    What are they going to be going on about now? Sequestering and lowering No2 emissions because they worked out the C02 levels weren't as man made as they have been telling us for a decade?

    Never stick to the one story, always have to chop and change as it suits.

    But it has been rising at a rapid rate over the years.

    Nice graph, but means nothing, all it shows is CO2 increasing, but what it doesn’t show is the fact that human contribution of CO2 is running at less than 4%, all the rest is nature’s contribution, in fact the right hand column is actually a deception, that is total CO2 but made to look like our emissions.

    Interesting graph.

    Have a look at the numbers below showing earth population captured for every 50 years starting from year 1700. Chart it with excel, it is funny how the chart will resemble the CO2 emissions.

    Maybe the whole problem is we have too many oxygen thieves breathing out CO2?
    1700 679
    1750 803
    1800 991
    1850 1,271
    1900 1,671
    1950 2,525.78
    2000 6,127.70

    So what else has changed? We know that humans have been burning coal and oil in increasing amounts for at least 200 years, and that the byproducts of this is CO2. Sure there will be other changes, one may be the release of CO2 captured in the melting ice caps and the warming ocean, due to the climate change caused by the burning of coal and oil, which takes us back to human activity.

    Tell us about the rest?

    2000 6,127.70
    Again Human activity!

    PS: something else which may be a factor is the number of trees that have been cut down and not replaced, we know that trees convert CO2 into Oxygen and wood, if there are less trees, it follow that less CO2 is being converted, but again it's human activity!

    Awww Geez, here we go with the Fking charts and graphs . Next well be having the paste one news story after the next as indisputable proof of something even though it's been completely debunked years ago. Why are the leftards always the first and most obsessive over using meaningless crap to support their fake cult?

    Like I said, after this woo hoo flu is over and the world cranks back up again, lets see how much CO2 levels dropped and how much the temps around the planet fall. -IF- by some miracle the co2 levels drop by a measurable amount then the temps around the earth will too won't they and then that will be proof positive of the green religion.

    If they don't that will prove it's complete and utter bullshit but of course the bed wetters won't accept that like they don't accept anything they don't want to hear.

    The lefty labourites are out trying to do something to help this situation, the right wing libs are out there, Where the fk is bullshit Brandt and his green bedwetters? No where to be seen. Where's Greta and and Al Bore whom are so desperate to save the world? What are they doing in a time of need like never before? Bloody not a thing is what! Why aren't they out right now spreading the globull warming message?

    Maybe it's because every man woman and child on the planet right now could not give a rats arse about Co2 levels right now because they are too shit scared they or someone they love may not survive the next 6 months and are thinking the rest of their lives may never be the same if they do get through it without so much as a cough and climate change isn't going to have jack to do with it.

    As I said to a greens washed guy on another forum this morning, Good luck trying to shove that load of green manure up a Hill that just got steep as the back of gods head in the future. That little scam is going to fall flat on it's face once this REAL emergency is over .

    All the graphs and charts and fake news, protests and road gluing isn't going to revive that dead horse and if it does get up, it's going to be kicked back down to the ground real fast.

    Well George what can I say?

    Perhaps this book is the perfect solution for you, it will provide some light reading for you as wait for for the C19 confined to base time to pass.

    There are a lot of people I don't want as friends and I'm not trying to influence anyone.
    It's the green bedwetters that are trying to get people to change to do what they want, not me. I'm happy, unlike others, to leave people to do what they want and am not trying to change anything..... unlike some with their green cult.

    Still haven't seen anything in the media about this climate emergency.

    They MUST have fixed it by now or we'd still be getting bored shitless with it as we have been doing to us for years.
