CO2 does not cause Earth’s climate change.

The belief that CO2 is causing Earth’s current warning is a $62 trillion SCAM. It is estimated that it will cost that much globally to eliminate fossil fuels. Eliminating fossil fuels will be a complete waste of our tax and corporate dollars, because it will not stop the warming. You can’t stop Mother Nature.

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) frequently shows that temperature correlates with CO2 for the last 1,000 years as proof that CO2 is causing the warming. But if you extend that to the last 800,000 years, it shows that the temperature and CO2 lines do not correlate or fit (Figure 1). If the lines don’t fit, then you must acquit CO2. CO2 is not guilty of causing climate change. CO2 does not control Earth’s temperature.

The facts:

• Earth is currently warming (it is still below the normal peak temperature).

• CO2 is increasing (it is above the normal CO2 peak).

• Earth’s current warming is being caused by a 1,470-year astronomical cycle.

The 1,470-year astronomical cycle warms the Earth for a couple of hundred years and melts ice sheets primarily in Greenland and the Arctic. It has repeated every 1,470-years for at least the last 50,000 years. It is normal that it would be happening again. It accelerates Earth’s rotation, causing length of day adjustments (Figure 2). It warms the Earth. Based on historical data, the current warming should peak near the year 2060 and then it should start to cool.
