The Disgraceful Use of Children to Push Climate Lunacy

The climate crusade, promoting a world-wide delusion for which there exists not a shred of physical evidence, is again using children. These children are being used as ‘human shields’ for the evildoers of our day.

Today’s crusade is built on fear and brainwashing children, sending them to the front with protest signs.

Mass climate hysteria is focused on mobilizing children who haven’t learned to think critically or how to analyze our complicated climate. They use soundbites that are meant to silence and fit on a protest poster.

Child-destructive political movements have one thing in common: They are all based on lies.

Greta Thunberg, who has finally arrived in the US to further the CO2 narrative, is one such victim caught up in the throng of climate lies. She appears to believe whatever she sees on TV or reads in an alarmist news outlet. She wonders aloud why other people are so hopelessly ignorant.

In other words, she’s the ideal person for the recruitment of more American children into the climate fraud movement.

There are many similarities to the totalitarian movements of the 20th century, which used children for power or politics.

Of course, they produced horrific harm to children in their personal growth and harm for the futures of their country by creating division and strife over nothing.

And when we say “nothing” we really mean it. The following diagrams show where carbon dioxide (CO2) fits into our planet’s greenhouse gases and atmospheric molecules.

The first figure shows that man’s contribution to the planet’s heat-trapping greenhouse gases is less than one percent of all atmosphere’s greenhouse gases.

The second chart shows that all carbon dioxide, from both natural and human sources, makes up a paltry four ten thousandths (only a quarter of that is from human sources) of all the molecules in our atmosphere.

Seriously, do you think these inconsequential amounts of carbon dioxide could control the thermostat of our planet? Of course not. It is absurd, but the climate delusion continues.

In addition, sea levels are not currently rising beyond a few centimeters per century. Below are but three of the many sea-level gauges from different parts of the world maintained by our own National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency which illustrate this point.

In addition, a new study shows that the 76 best sea-level tide gauges in the world (i.e., at least 100 years of data and no data quality issues) show negligible acceleration.

The tidal gauge study reported in June, “The average rate of sea-level rise for these 76 global-scale tide gauges is just 0.337 millimeters per year (mm/yr.), and the acceleration is a ‘negligible’ 0.007 mm/yr².”

It is time to put an end to the children’s crusade to advance the man-caused climate change delusion. The Russian and German totalitarian movements that sacrificed children for political objectives in the 20th century ended years ago. It’s time for the CO2 global warming movement to vanish as well.
