Some interesting facts on CO2. The trace gas of life is very beneficial. CO2 is greening the earth and feeding the hungry. CO2 has not been proven to ‘drive’ climate change except as conveyed by the models which remain erroneous and incomplete. We are near the lowest level of CO2 over earth history. The secondary feedback heating effect of CO2 is limited by the IR logarithmic forcing law and is nearly saturated at current levels. The earth never had runaway heating even at 10x-20x current levels of CO2. Interesting that most plants evolved at levels averaging near 1200 ppm or roughly 3x current levels.

Utech Comment: “As a result of this post, my LinkedIn account was suspended 3/30/23. While I had two previous comments removed pertaining to climate science (sea level and questioning ‘the science’), my last post with 500+ likes is what sparked the suspension. I suspect but cannot confirm the censorship is initiated from the ‘Just Stop Oil’ alarmists, but LI removed my access. I believe there is a pattern for comment removal and that is using a statement that ‘CO2 does not drive climate’ is what is considered misinformation. More than 35,000 views and 110 reposts in just two days. I suspect the reposts were also removed but do not know. I will appreciate any feedback or comments you may have.

Willem,

Wonderfully powerful soliloquy should go viral.

Randal Utech is a geoscientist working for Schlumberger, a French company, that has offices all over the world to analyze soils to determine if they bear recoverable oil and gas.

I knew Robert Hunt, a Cambridge geoscientist, also working for Schlumberger.
He said he did measurements in holes

Some years ago, I was solicited by LinkedIn to become a member.

I am glad I did not respond.

I urge others to cancel their membership. 
If many do so, it’s voice becomes a tiny whisper

You get what you naively voted for.

Regarding CO2.

CO2 is life-giving gas, because God created life in an Eden, a place with abundant fauna and flora and CO2.

God, who knows all, knew life had to be based on CO2, and covered the world with fauna and flora.

The world experienced many disturbances during the past billions of years, and each time it rebalanced itself.

Mankind, just is not “big enough” to disturb it.

The earth had a Little Ice Age, LIA, with many years of very cold temperatures, poor crops, famine, population stagnant due to diseases and lack of food

The rivers Rhine, Thames, and Seine freezing up, and people going with horse and carriage on the ice, and having festivals on the ice, as recorded on paintings in European museums 

All that time, from the year zero of the Christ Era to about 1900, the CO2 was about 280 ppm, near the lowest level in its 4.5 billion life!!!

Just before the LIA, had been the Medieval Warm Period, and the Roman Warm Period, during both of them it was much warmer than to-day, BUT CO2 HAD NOT CHANGED.

All subjective computer models cannot replicate that, I.e., work backwards, because they are based on the wrong inputs, to tell gloom and doom temperature lies to the naive public.

If CO2 played no role THEN, why would it be accused of playing a role now?

If I were making and selling huge, highly subsidized wind turbines, I certainly would lie like hell and provide money to get LinkedIn and cohorts, to punish people who say CO2 is beneficial, and we need more of it.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
