The absolute need for oil and gas in the US and worldwide has been determined over the past few months. Increased energy prices are a brutal tax on the poor who can least afford the added costs. It’s time to revisit the singular case for eliminating the current energy complex, atmospheric CO2, and its effect on the earth. We are constantly being told of increasing CO2 causes rising oceans. But, it is true? It wasn’t too long ago when I was a kid I was told excess CO2 in the atmosphere was going to cause another “ice age” as the sun’s heat would be blocked from the earth.
There is little doubt the weather patterns we’ve seen globally for about 100 years are changing, but, is it people or simply the planet? Additionally, if it isn’t CO2 causing it, what is?

The anti-automobile cult has its organizational roots likely before Carlson’s “Silent Spring” but, from what I can tell, coalesced the imaginary harms many believed but could not prove simply because actual scientific data was not available. With politicians desire to advance their careers with issues popular to the public and impossible to debunk as nonfactual. This has only morphed into one proclaimed environmental threat after another with no one willing to counter many false claims for fear of being labeled as ’heartless’ and be effectively cancelled. Today, social media makes it possible to cancel people’s public presence even when their postings are factual such has critical thinking deteriorated.
Tony Heller has been trying to appeal to people’s commonsense for more than a decade with his posts on climate data and historical news reporting or ‘news distorting’. Decades of distortion have created a mind-set in society relying on ‘experts’ with personal agendas to distort facts for personal gain. It has taken a while for facts to emerge to place the risk of Global Warming into the proper context simply because the system of global climate is so complex. The simplest and most direct approach is to compare CO2 measurements vs sea level. Both measurements are scientifically rooted and incorporate every factor anyone anywhere has ever studied separately making claims one way or another for and against human activity. If CO2 has a warming impact, it should be seen in a visually noticeable change in the pace of sea level trends.
This chart is the simplest and most scientifically comprehensive. No CO2 impact on sea level trend means that everything believed the last few decades and the entire political/environmental focus on spending capital to reduce CO2 is based on a false premise. QED.
The simplicity of this chart so far out of many people’s learning that could take years to correct the misperception. Humans fear what is imaginary. Once the facts of situation are known, that fear always melts away. The media’s business is to promote fear to regardless of fact to generate readership and advertising revenue. Global Warming has been a media and political focus because the facts have been so difficult to clarify.
