Don’t bother me with the facts! That seems to be what the political elite seem to be saying. However, ‘Using a new observational approach to an old but most important question, CLINTEL President Guus Berkhout finds that about 62% of the atmospheric CO2 increase is due to natural sources, not human emissions. The study then looks at the implications for drastic CO2 reduction measures, finding that these measures will not stop the atmospheric increase. Actually, they will have very limited effect. Hence the title of the report is “Managing the Carbon Dioxide Content in the Earth’s Atmosphere“.
Professor Berkhout’s approach is based on proven technology in geophysical imaging. He calls his method spectral ‘fingerprint detection (FPD)’, because it looks at the relationship between fine-grained details of the atmospheric CO2 increase and anthropogenic emissions over time by computing auto and cross correlation functions.
Note that in the spectral FPD approach knowledge about the existence of different CO2 isotopes (C12 and C13) is not required. This is consistent with the current decarbonization practice, where minimization of the atmospheric CO2 concentration is the target, whatever the isotopic composition.
Note also that spectral FPD reveals that a lot of information is hidden in the variability of observations. Therefore, spectral FPD starts with decomposing observations into trends and changes along the trends.
The study puts it this way:
“The fine-grained variability of the anthropogenic emission represents the ‘fingerprintof the human CO2-source, telling us that most of the anthropogenic CO2-emission is absorbed by the land-ocean reservoir (fingerprint detection). It also reveals the existence of internal oscillations between the atmosphere and the land-ocean reservoir.”
There is a lot of math here, including least-squares minimization, but the results are clear. An estimated 62% of the increased CO2 concentration is entirely natural.
The study then applies these findings to determine the impact of four different emission reduction scenarios, as follows:
“Four policy scenarios for decarbonization purposes have been built: ‘Business as Usual’, ‘Stabilizing the Emission’, ‘Reducing the emission’ and ‘Making use of CCS’. A big impact conclusion for policy making is that zero anthropogenic emission – being a major achievement– does not mean at all that the atmospheric accumulation becomes zero.”
The analysis comes with a warning:
“Each scenario has its own phase diagram, showing the relationship between atmospheric concentration and anthropogenic emission. It is advised that decarbonization policies are designed such that the transition path in the phase diagram is technically, economically and socially feasible.” (Emphasis added)
Given that even the most stringent (and hugely expensive) scenario does not stop the natural CO2 increase, their rationale is greatly diminished. Also, given that most of the past increase is natural, we can stop blaming ourselves for it.
Professor Berkhout says this is just the first step in applying spectral FPD to the science of climate change:
“By considering spectral fingerprint detection on any source variability, there will be a lot of applications. Apart from CO2 variability, we will look at solar-irradiation variability, cloudiness variability, etc. to determine their individual influence on atmospheric temperature. It leads to a multidimensional causality determination. Again, without any theoretical assumptions. It is all based on observations.”
In science new methods often yield surprising results. I look forward to this multidimensional causality determination with great interest. In the meantime, the climate science and policy communities need to rethink the contribution of human emission to the atmospheric CO2 increase, especially with regard to the potentially destructive mitigation actions.
Combining this conclusion with the evidence that more CO2 will make our planet greener, what the h… are politicians up to? Are they racing to see who can enact the worst policies?’https://papundits.wordpress.com/2020/12/20/clintel-study-finds-most-of-the-co2-increase-is-natural/

One would have to be one of the dead Biden voters not to see that China played a part in the 2020 Presidential election.
‘US intelligence agencies reportedly possess intelligence that suggest China sought to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, pushing a narrative through state-controlled media organizations that tried to smear Donald Trump as a white supremacist.
The so-called intelligence community is notoriously loathe to provide evidence backing up assertions with great implications, but One America News Network reported Wednesday that career officials of federal intelligence agencies support Trump administration Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe’s suspicions of Chinese interference. Other federal employees are trying to sweep the intelligence suggesting Chinese interference under the rug.
Ratcliffe has informed liberal elements of the intelligence community that he won’t sign off on reports that ignore evidence of Chinese interference in the election.’https://dcswampwatch.org/intelligence-agencies-have-information-suggesting-china-interfered-in-2020-presidential-election-against-trump/
‘President-elect Joe Biden on a daily basis has been announcing high-level appointments to his administration that will take control of the federal executive branch on January 20th. None of the individuals come as a shock, but they are no less objectionable in terms of the radical policy shift they portend for America, particularly on climate policy and energy development.
Mr. Biden is expected to appoint Gina McCarthy to be “Domestic Climate Coordinator,” a new position to be housed in the White House Executive Office of the President. From this perch, she will ensure the multitude of federal agencies regulate and manage their responsibilities around reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Mr. Biden did announce this week cabinet appointments that will implement climate policy overseen by Ms. McCarthy. They include Jennifer Granholm for Secretary of Energy, who was Michigan Governor and champion of “renewable” solar and wind energy; and Michael Regan for the Environmental Protection Agency, an African American who is the Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and espouses “environmental justice” for communities of color. The president-elect is expected to name Congresswoman Deb Haaland of New Mexico for Secretary of the Interior, who is opposed to decades long energy development on federal lands.
This appointment of Ms. McCarthy would follow Biden’s naming of former Secretary of State, John Kerry, as “Special Envoy” for climate change with a seat on the National Security Council. These new elevated positions, which overlay all domestic and foreign policy, clearly show the seriousness of the incoming Biden-Harris administration to shift climate and energy policies in a radical, domineering direction.
Ms. McCarthy is fanatical when it comes to climate change, that is, mankind’s tangential role in global warming. She previously served as an environmental regulator in Massachusetts and headed the Environmental Protection Agency in Barack Obama’s second term. She currently heads the Natural Resources Defense Council. One of the major black marks against her time as EPA chief was her mishandling of the catastrophic water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Yet, she will be more influential than ever in the Biden White House.
The enormous regulatory and financial power wielded by the federal government will be steered to all things climate change under Ms. McCarthy. Among the countless policy restrictions coming soon will affect oil and gas leasing on federal lands and offshore, emissions standards, and new mandates on the financial sector for more Green project investments.
Economic activity necessarily results in carbon emissions, including the products we produce and consume, the means by which we travel, and the heat and air conditioning in our homes and workplaces. Proposed Green New Deal policies to reduce carbon emissions necessarily will harm the economy; specifically many of the 300 million non-wealthy Americans whose jobs will be eliminated and the higher costs everyone will pay more for energy, goods and services across the board.
Ms. McCarthy’s obsession is for reducing carbon emissions, regardless of the resulting economic dislocation. Yet any “success” in doing so provides zero guarantees the Earth’s climate will change in a different direction from its present trajectory, which is unpredictable, especially 30 years hence.
As CFACT has frequently documented, actual science shows man-made carbon emissions are a tiny fraction of atmospheric gases, and a variety of other natural phenomena impact the planet’s climate. All of this is well beyond the reach of McCarthy, Kerry and the rest of the Biden-Harris team no matter how many trillions of tax dollars they spend on solar panels and retrofitting office buildings. Scientific climate realities also bereft in the pliant news media, which reports without scrutiny. National Public Radio, for example, when reporting on the McCarthy appointment, which dutifully propagated the falsehood that climate change has resulted in “record wildfires, hurricanes and flooding in recent years.”
During his 36 years in the U.S. Senate, Joe Biden was collegial and often considered moderate or mainstream in the Democratic Party, in contrast to more liberal senators. But the Party itself has shifted sharply to the political Left, especially on climate and energy policies, which are the priority of the Party’s mega-donors such as Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer and George Soros. Mr. Biden has shifted accordingly, and these appointments are another example of that reality.
The immediate question becomes, what of the Republicans? Will they be a rubberstamp these Biden cabinet appointments, especially if they retain a majority in the U.S. Senate? That would be the easy route.
The climate and energy appointments by President-elect Biden demand a rigorous debate to check the radicalism that threatens the economy and standard of living of the U.S. With the pandemic expected recede in 2021 due to the vaccine, the climate agenda and energy restrictions that will be imposed by the fledging Biden-Harris team otherwise threaten a return to economic normalcy in America.’https://papundits.wordpress.com/2020/12/18/biden-harris-administration-taking-shape-beware/

‘The governor of North Carolina is facing criticism from Christian groups and praise from LGBT advocacy groups after signing a proclamation establishing “Gender Expansive Parents’ Day” as part of an effort to recognize LGBT parents.
Gov. Roy Cooper, D-N.C., who just won reelection to a second term last month, designated Dec. 6 as “Gender Expansive Parents’ Day.” “All parents, regardless of gestational relationship to a child, gender identity, or gender expression, deserve to be celebrated for the love and nurturing they give to their children,” Cooper declared.
After citing statistics showing that more than two million children have a parent that identifies as LGBT and that LGBT people are six times more likely to adopt children, Cooper maintained that “many of these LGBTQ parents also exist outside a traditional gender binary.” Additionally, he concluded that “recognition of the work and sacrifice of non-binary, agender, and other gender expansive parents, as well as that of other non-traditional primary caregivers, is key to our efforts to create a more inclusive State.”’https://www.christianpost.com/news/nc-gov-signs-proclamation-honoring-gender-expansive-parents.html?uid=d3769f0ce2
THE WHITE IDENTITY CRISIS — VERTIGOPOLITIX – What do you think? Is there a reverse racism going on here? Is there a culture of the European countries and if there is how will it be changed by those immigrating from the Middle East, Asia and Africa?
The China virus is out to destroy not only the Presidential election of President Trump but the everyday life of the average Joe. Yes, there is a Commie under every bed and with New Year’s Eve approaching the China Virus is changing even that!!

In January 2021 ‘Take your warmest life memories with you if and when the inauguration of ‘Temporary President’ Joe Biden makes way for the opening of the Gates of Hell—the Gulag—for all of humanity.
Memories are all the masses will have left—and over time the same bolsheviks who openly stole the 2020 Election will steal those too, whenever they find the way.
The saddest part about going into the Gulag is that your children and grandchildren with all the innocent toys of childhood are going with you, leaving you to wonder what will happen to them after you’re gone.
The “useful idiots” of the Communist bolsheviks —Joker Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) et al—will be free to disperse misery on the masses—at least for awhile.
All of the above went along with the Communist globalists—even while knowing that the first thing the regime mandates is getting rid of the useful idiots who brought them into power.
Much as so very many do not wish to hear it, government-mandated lockdowns were only the waiting room for the coming Gulag.
In Russian accents they say: “No God in Gulag”.
No hope, no change, as soon as the last of Hillary’s deplorables have been rounded up.
During the past 10 months, authorities wanted to assure themselves that there would be no public uprising over the lockdowns—and there never really was.
In this dark new era of the Great Reset, Washington power brokers will come at you live streamed over the ‘Net. No need for town halls while everyone’s in lockdown watching television.
Life Before Gulag (LBG) will be wiped out as part of the Cancel Culture, along with the American Dream cherished by millions in many other nations.’
‘Biden’s presidency will be short-lived, as he passes the presidential mantle on to Kamala Harris before stumbling off the world stage on his broken foot, but a live streamed Harris is only a front for Barack Hussein Obama, who sees her as his long-coveted Third Term.
But while the masses are confined to the new Lock Down, known as the Gulag, all of those who brought the Gulag about, will soon disappear as the Communists ‘disappear’ all their useful idiots.
Solzhenitsyn got out of the Gulag Archipelago—but only after years of unimaginable inhumane torment. The reason for his ultimate survival was that he never stopped thinking for himself.
Captives of the modern-day Gulag lost that ability by reading the purloined news and a steady diet of cable television.
Hard to believe that while waiting for the gates to shut behind all those coming into the Gulag, they were reading stories about how so-and-so looked “stunning” in a bikini at age fill-in-the-blank, or that Melania Trump broke the rules by reading to children without wearing a mask.
Tragic beyond belief that, thanks to the thieving Democrat Obama holdovers and their surrogate media, the masses never saw—or even suspected—that the Gulag was coming down the pike.
It will someday be the Irony of Ironies that In the fullness of time, all of those who bought into the visceral hatred of President Donald J. Trump will hate far more Every Day Life in the Gulag.
By that time, not a single soul trapped in the Gulag will be saying “Thanks for leaving us here”.
Meanwhile, the only way to never hear the horrible clank of the Gulag Gates behind you, is to defiantly refuse to go there.’ https://canadafreepress.com/article/temporary-president-biden-leading-the-free-world-off-to-the-gulag
