In the runup to the Sept. 23 UN Climate Summit in New York, Leonardo
DiCaprio is releasing a series of films about the "climate crisis."
The first is "Carbon," which tells us the world is threatened by a
"carbon monster." Coal, oil, natural gas and other carbon-based forms of
energy are causing dangerous climate change and must be turned off as
soon as possible, DiCaprio says.
But he has identified the wrong monster. It is the climate scare itself that is the real threat to civilization.
DiCaprio is an actor, not a scientist; it's no real surprise that his
film is sensationalistic and error-riddled. Other climate-change
fantasists, who do have a scientific background, have far less excuse.
Science is never settled, but the current state of "climate change"
science is quite clear: There is essentially zero evidence that carbon
dioxide from human activities is causing catastrophic climate change.
Yes, the "executive summary" of reports from the UN's International
Panel on Climate Change continues to sound the alarm - but the summary
is written by the politicians. The scientific bulk of the report, while
still tinged with improper advocacy, has all but thrown in the towel.
And the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change lists
thousands of scientific papers that either debunk or cast serious doubt
on the supposed "consensus" model.
Oregon-based physicist Gordon Fulks sums it up well: "CO2 is said to
be responsible for global warming that is not occurring, for accelerated
sea-level rise that is not occurring, for net glacial and sea ice melt
that is not occurring . . . and for increasing extreme weather that is
not occurring."
