Al Gore Takes a Pass on Earth Hour

The belief in anthropogenic global warming is a religion because frankly, it requires more faith to believe in that nonsense than it requires to believe in most religions.

From the climate data going back thousands of years showing cyclic temperature changes, from the records showing the Vikings once growing vineyards in Greenland that is now covered in ice, from the unreliable temperature data, from the natural sources of greenhouse gasses, from the global warming happening on other planets such as Mars and Jupiter, from the solar activity at record levels, from the total lack of consensus demonstrated by tens of thousands of scientists who just aren’t buying it, with the dwindling numbers of people drinking the Kool-aid and global warming coming in dead-last in a 20-issue list of concerns…the theory of anthropogenic global warming is on thin ice.

One might even surmise that, since Al Gore doesn’t take it seriously enough to go dark during Earth Hour himself, maybe he’s a false prophet. Maybe he doesn’t really believe this hooey either…

Breaking: CO2 is plant food - Trees are growing faster and could buy time to halt global warming - Telegraph

On average, the trees were getting bigger faster and researchers found that each hectare of African forest was trapping an extra 0.6 tons of CO2 a year compared with the 1960s.

If this is replicated across the world's tropical rainforests they would be removing nearly 5 billion tons of CO2 a year from the atmosphere.

Scientists have been looking for a similar impact on crop yields and the experiments generally suggest that raised CO2 levels would boost the yields of mainstream crops, such as maize, rice and soy, by about 13 per cent.
