„The fundamental point has always been this: climate change is governed by hundreds of factors, or variables, and the very idea that we can manage climate change predictably by understanding and manipulating at the margins one politically-selected factor is as misguided as it gets.“
Philip StottPhilip Stott explains the complexity of climate change and criticizes the focus on CO2 as the sole politically chosen factor.
Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and former editor of the Journal of Biogeography.
A compelling reminder of the complexity of climate change and the dangers of reducing it to a single factor.

Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork"The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science."

That doesn't fit with the narrative that CO2 is supposed to be such a dominant factor in global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a UN organization that admits members based on area, political affiliation, and in some cases merit. My work is in fact ignored by it. In the Climategate emails, that went public in 2011, I noticed an email discussing possible authors for the IPCC's fifth assessment report. One qualification for an author had to be that he was 'anti-Svensmark'."

Climate change can kill not a handful of people but millions upon millions of people and we should place climate change far above terrorism in our list of problems."

Because they supposedly save the world from a heat death, politicians even receive applause for it. No party will resist this temptation."
