Why Climate Change is NOT an Emergency Dr. Patrick Moore Dr. William Happer Dr. Bruce Everett Conservative Princeton Association Princeton University Reunions May 27, 2023 NASA Earth Observatory 1 UN ACTIVISTS AND GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES DECLARE AN EMERGENCY UN secretary general: “We are now at 'code red’...Humanity is unequivocally facing a climate emergency...There is more at stake today than at any time since the advent of the stable climate system that has supported us for more than 10,000 years” IPCC: “In every region, people are dying from extreme heat; losses and damages we are already experiencing will continue into the future, hitting the most vulnerable people and ecosystems especially hard.” US Climate Czar: “We’re undergoing a slow nuclear war with climate change.” 2 ACTIVISTS DEMAND RESTRUCTRING OF GLOBAL SOCIETY • IEA: “Reducing global CO2 emissions to net zero by 2050 calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, transport and consume energy.” • IPCC: “K eeping warming to 1.5 ° C above pre - industrial levels requires deep, rapid and sustained greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors.” 3 A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE: NOBEL LAUREATE IN PHYSICS (2022) DR. JOHN CLAUSER “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well - being of billions of people.” Photo credit: Association des climato - réalistes 4 COMPETING CLIMATE NARRATIVES - predict devastating consequences when atmosphere warms an additional 0.5 o C - demand near term radical restructuring of energy, agriculture and manufacturing - consider positive effects of CO2 - show why there is no emergency - Identify how proposed restructuring would cripple society UN and government activists and experts on climate: Code Red Independent experts on the environment, physics and economics of climate: greening of the planet 5 Patrick Moore, PhD Ecosense Environmental CO2 Coalition A Focus on the Miracle Molecule - CO2 Princeton University May 27, 2023 Greening of the Earth by CO2 Patrick Moore Harpoon Shot Winter Harbour, Vancouver Island, 1952 My Home Why I Left Greenpeace After 15 Years Greenpeace lost its humanitarian perspective and drifted into the lie that humans are the enemies of the Earth. Today they are Peddling Junk Science for Donations. It is Greenpeace that is the enemy of nature and civilization CO2 and Temperature Negatively Correlated for 100 Million Years Ice Ages CO2 in 1850 CO2 & Temperature Negatively Correlated for 200 Million Years. Most Hard Coal Produced Here 2.6 Onset of Pleistocene Ice Age Homo Sapiens Evolved There is no Indication that Global Temperature will Shoot up in Response to the Large Increase in CO2 from Human Emissions. Note the Three Previous Glacial Maximums were Warmer than this One Al Gore’s “Big Lie” in his book “An Inconvenient Truth” He claims CO2 must be the cause of Earth’s temperature because the increase and decrease in CO2 is followed by increase and decrease in temperature. But it is a well - known fact that CO2 lags temperature by an average of 800 years, about the same time as the oceans turn over and either release or absorb CO2 as they warm or cool.
