Did you know?
· Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the air are less than 4 parts in 10,000, less than one drip of blood in your whole body;
· Annually, all human activity produces 3% of Earth's CO2, Nature 97% or 32 times more;
· Driven by temperature, oceans release and absorb CO2 at a rate more than 30 times that produced by mankind every year.
· Oceans contain more than fifty times the CO2 contained the atmosphere;
· The White Cliffs of Dover, all limestone, all marble, all chalk, all oil, all gas, all cement, all concrete, all shells including those of prawns and crayfish contain carbon (from about 20% to 80% by weight) from CO2 all of which was once in the atmosphere and then in the sea, similarly but not under the sea, for carbon in all coal and coal gas, it’s been a one way trip for CO2 for billions of years and it continues to this day faster than we are burning it;
· The oxygen stripped off CO2 by nature when it locks the carbon away mostly forever, is the oxygen we breathe and it makes up 21% of the atmosphere, if we had no CO2 we’d have no oxygen;
· Nature alone controls the air's CO2 levels. Total human production is one quarter of just the annual variation in Nature's production. Despite continuous human CO2 production, every year during the southern hemisphere winter Nature reduces Earth's global CO2 levels;
· The absorption of human and industrial CO2 into oceans and plants is the same as for CO2 produced by Nature;
· Atmospheric residence time for CO2 is only 5 to 7 years. It is then recycled back into sinks such as plants, oceans and soils. Some studies show recycle time is only 12 months;
· UN IPCC data on the air's carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and all ice core studies show carbon dioxide is a consequence of temperature, not a cause. This is true for every period in Earth's history, atmospheric CO2 has always been higher following a heating event such as we are experiencing now and have been since the Little Ice Age which ended about 150 years ago;
· Carbon dioxide is a natural trace gas essential for all life on Earth. With Nature annually producing 97% of all CO2, CO2 is obviously not a pollutant plants take the carbon from CO2 and the Hydrogen from water (H2O) to make starch and release oxygen, all life on Earth depends on this photosynthesis;
· There has been no increase in global atmospheric temperature since 1998. 'Global warming' is not happening;
· Climate varies naturally with inherent variation in Nature's cooling-warming-cooling cycles. Accurate temperature measurements by satellite and weather balloons show no net warming. El Nino and solar activity explain temperature variation;
· The UN climate body downplays satellite and weather balloon data and prefers ground-based temperature measurements known to be corrupted;
· Ocean temperatures have been flat or slightly cooling since 2003;
· Oceans are alkaline. Earth's oceans thrived for extensive periods with the air's CO2 20 times that of today, when oceans warm they release CO2 into the atmosphere, cold water absorbs CO2;
· It would take many thousands of times all the CO2 in the atmosphere to make the ocean acidic and then it would just erode a few rocks to add to the calcium carbonate in the Earth’s crust;
· Australia's sea levels during the last 15 years have risen only 0.3 mm per year and that rate is decelerating. In 100 years that will be just over one inch. The most extensive study measuring Pacific island sea levels shows no rise since measurements began in 1992. Sea level projections by the government and its taxpayer funded Climate Commission rely on invalidated computer models themselves relying on temperature guesses proven wrong, some Australian councils have taken the government to court on this matter;
· There has been no increase in storm activity or strength. In falsely claiming increased storms, the UN IPCC's chairman contradicted and overrode the IPCC's storm expert, Chris Landsea. In protest, Landsea resigned from the UN IPCC;
· Don’t you worry the Earth is self-healing – in millions of years you won’t be able to detect we were ever here!
· Scientists on government payrolls and in receipt of grants have been found cheating and telling lies about what is happening to the Earth’s climate – it’s called Climate Gate! Some politicians particularly lefties and greenies have a similar bent! Nobody not even crooked scientists can claim a Carbon Tax will reduce temperature but we all know political action like this is impoverishing everybody, closing down businesses and putting people out of work even so some greedy grasping politicians who want your money and One World Government are still in favour of it.
· Don’t be a total dill think before you vote!
