Firstly, all talk of carbon per se is silly. Global Warming is not caused by carbon but by carbon dioxide (CO2). They prefer to say carbon because that is nasty black stuff that is easy to dislike. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, is a clear gas that is actually vital for life as we know it.
Plants breathe carbon dioxide and they breathe out oxygen which is where all our oxygen comes from. In fact, prior to plants there was no oxygen in the atmosphere and when it started to appear it killed off most of the then existing life on earth. It was a serious pollutant!
If Carbon dioxide levels drop below 200 parts per million (0.02%) then plants will struggle to survive. We are currently around 400 ppm. In the distant past it is known to have been 7,000 ppm.
The climate hoax is kept alive by lying by omission. They omit to tell you that the biggest greenhouse gas is water, H2O. The next biggest is natural CO2. After that comes man-made CO2.
Another omission is that while CO2 does cause warming, warming also produces CO2. As the earth warms it drived CO2, where most of it exists, into the atmosphere. In Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth film he shows CO2 and temperature in lock step for over 400,000 years. That is Vostok Ice Core data. What he omits to mention is that the earth always warmed before the CO2 increase. That implies that the warming is increasing the CO2 not the other way round. The lag is about 600 years, by the way.
The situation is only scary if you believe their most scary models and remember that the same person who does the scary climate models, Neil Fergusson at Imperial College, also did the scary COVID-19 models. Spot a pattern here?
Even if you believe those models, if you reduced the UK back to the stone age the earth would only live an extra day or two. Is it worth it?
