Where Does the Carbon Dioxide Really Come From?
Professor Ian Plimer could not have said it better! If you've read his book you will agree, this is a good summary.
PLIMER : "Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland recently . Since its first spewing of
volcanic ash , in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the
past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.
Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress - it’s that vital
chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life on this planet.
I know....it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have
accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying
fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids "The Green Revolution"
science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of
toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing
at home instead of abroad!!!
Nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with
$10.00 light bulbs.....well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in
just four days. The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes,
FOUR DAYS - by that volcano in Iceland has totally erased every single effort you have made
to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet
spewing out this crud into the atmosphere - EVERY DAY of the year
I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the
volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.
Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year - think about it. Of course, I shouldn't
spoil this 'touchy-feely tree-hugging' moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic
activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps
happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.
And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact of the matter is
that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate
your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens
every year.
Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you, on
the basis of the bogus 'human-caused' climate-change scenario. Hey, isn’t it interesting
how they don’t mention 'Global Warming' anymore, but just 'Climate Change' - you know why?
It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these
global warming ‘BS’ artists got caught with their pants down. And, just keep in mind that
you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme - that whopping new tax - imposed
on you, that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer.
It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure!!!
But, hey, relax...... and have a nice day mate !"
