We are fast becoming environmentally-minded misguided missiles, captivated by some green package, truck, or environmental business name.   In the name of the environment, we actually do many things that are destructive to it.   This, all for a molecule that has no statistical relationship with temperature.  With increased CO2, temperatures historically have gone down as well as up.   

The alarmism over CO2 began in earnest in 1976, when the Pacific Ocean switched from its periodic cold cycle to a warm one.   In a 3 year period, Alaska’s average state temperature rose by 6 degrees, but you’re told that the Arctic was overheating.   And then there’s the supposed acceleration in sea level rise, the result of splicing correct shore measurements with incorrect satellite data beginning in the early 1990’s.   You are being had on a grand scale.   

Our society is led to believe that we can use intermittent solar and wind power to electrify us,  while also doubling the electricity requirements for electric vehicles and more air conditioning.   The recent events in Texas are merely a foretaste of what’s to come.   

A recent column, “Choose the Lesser of Evils for Our Climate,” skirted several real issues.   It cited huge common bird kills, but avoided the immense windmill destruction of federally-protected raptors like eagles, hawks, falcons, etc.   At Altamont Pass in CA alone, some 3000 golden eagles have been killed.

Then consider the environmental destruction in making our “clean” EV’s, phones, computers, wind and solar panels, etc., due to mining cobalt and China-controlled rare earth metals.   According to Business Insider, processing a ton of rare earths creates 400,000 cubic feet of waste gas filled with hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids, 2600 cubic feet of acidic wastewater, and a ton of radioactive waste.   And mining cobalt gives young children in the Congo cobalt lung disease.
