There has been a lot of talk in the media, originally part of the IPCC's outreach PR campaign about each of our "Carbon Footprints" as if Carbon is evil. How can Carbon be evil if you and every other human on this planet are 17% Carbon - does that mean humans are 17% evil? Says whom? Well, some at the IPCC and UN say humans are the problem and there are too many of us, so some of us have to go? Yikes. So, what is so bad about Carbon, it's an element on the periodic table for heaven's sake, and when you mix it with Oxygen, you get CO2 a compound gas, one of the essential gases in our atmosphere needed for life on Earth as we know it.

Still, the Global Warming Alarmists will tell you that "The CO2 level in earths' atmosphere has risen dramatically in a very small time frame and scientists say that there are consequences to this rise. This rise is unprecedented in human history. We are running the experiment; what happens if the earth's CO2 level is increased from 280 ppm to 400 ppm? We are in the test tube. There is no planet B if the results turn out badly for us."

Wow such doom and gloom sounds scary right? Sounds like Nostradamus predicting the end of life on Earth or something like that, all due to mankind. So, we are asked where does all this CO2 come from, if it doesn't come from humankind? Well, how about forest fires, underground coal mine fires, how about measurements taken when the Earth's atmosphere is compressed by solar storms, how about it hasn't actually, how about Co2 in ionosphere being radiated for higher shelf-life (nuclear tests, solar radiation, space radiation), and yes, mankind's CO2 accumulation also.

Still, so what, those numbers are very good (400 ppm), and we seem to be in a historic CO2 lull, life does better on the Earth's surface with more of the stuff, we not anywhere near a danger point, nor is it heating up the Earth, and although mankind's CO2 is a component in the overall CO2 it's minuscule, so harm, no foul, in fact, maybe more might be a good thing.

It seems that perhaps the planet has warmed some 1.5 degrees over 150-years, which is insignificant, sounds about normal - another 2 degrees also not a problem. All the ice will not melt at the poles, glaciers take 100s of years to thaw out, and even Mercury has ice still at its poles, and it is 1200-2500 degrees in many places.

More warmth (IF AGW from human CO2 was actually a calamity of the type the alarmists suggest) would put more clouds in the sky, more evaporation in the water cycle, more rains, more erosion, more sand and delta buffers, more groundwater uptake to depleted underground aquifers. Sea Level rise is over estimated, mankind's CO2 part in all this severely overestimated, the cost to global economy for these shenanigans underestimated, future temperature rise way overestimated, previous climate models have already failed - and we don't have enough data to prove + or - either way anyway.

Overall things don't look bad, they actually look nice. In the 1930s the Northwest Passage was open, sea levels were not high, so what's all the fuss? What is the IPCC hiding from, why won't they share their data, their mathematical modeling, why won't they allow scientific peer reviews? Because like the Wizard of Oz, they must hide behind their grand illusion and big lie, that's why.
