Pragmatic Witness “reboot”
the new blog I had hoped to create is not going to happen anytime soon.

“Since losing nearly all of my visitors to the old site, creating a new Pragmatic Witness blog was the the next best thing.”I’m afraid my first reaction to that game plan is to think you have shot yourself in the foot thinking it would help your speed. I’ve had involuntary URL change a few times now. Traffic fell like it had gone over a cliff.
As an alternative you might consider revamping the old site…and making some posts, even if only brief notes. Think of it as a bus line where the route has changed and the bus doesn’t run. Would you use it ?

The secret life of internet climate trolls…
John
Here in Newcastle another company has just announced inevitable job losses of somewhere between 60 and 120 people.
This after our wonderful government closed down one of our Aluminum plants last year.
The failure of government to correct the Aussie dollar to maintain the capacity to produce goods here is appalling and short term benefits of cheap imports will only be relevant until we are all on the dole.
I estimate that by June 2023 we will all be on the dole; then we won’t be able to import anything, unless like Greece we can borrow some money from the EEU to pay our politicians Superannuation Entitlements.
Maybe then the JJJJJ Generation will slowly become aware that they were conned, again by people smarter than themselves.

Climate textbook explains why man-made CO2 does not control atmospheric CO2
Climate scientist Dr. Murry Salby, professor and Climate Chair at Macquarie University, Australia explains in the 2012 edition of his textbook, Physics of the Atmosphere and Climate, why changes in global temperature control CO2 levels, not man-made CO2. The text corroborates the works of Humlum et al, Frölicher et al, and Francey et al demonstrating that man-made CO2 is not the driver of atmospheric CO2 or global temperatures.
CO2 is a “trace gas” in air, insignificant by definition. It absorbs 1/7th as much IR, heat energy, from sunlight as water vapor which has 80 times as many molecules capturing 560 times as much heat making 99.8% of all "global warming." CO2 does only 0.2% of it. For this we should destroy our economy?
Carbon combustion generates 80% of our energy. Control and taxing of carbon would give the elected ruling class more power and money than anything since the Magna Carta of 1215 AD.

The Greens' Agenda, in Their Own Words
For many years, the Greens have been treated as a political curiosity. They could win a spot or two in the Senate, but they were absent from the real place of political power, the House of Representatives. That has now changed. Not only will they have more senators from next July, they also have a seat in the House. More significantly, they are in formal alliance with minority Labor governments nationally and in Tasmania.Despite the emphasis on the environment, “the Greens are not a single issue party”.[1] Their objective is clear: “to transform politics and bring about Green government.”[2] The Australian Greens are part of a worldwide movement that is actively engaged in the political process.[3] As their writings state, this objective involves a radical transformation of the culture that underpins Western civilisation. As a political party, they should be treated like any other political party and subjected to the same scrutiny.
In order to fully comprehend the Greens’ political ideology, it is necessary to understand the historical roots and foundations of both our own Western, liberal democratic culture—and that of the Greens. I propose to explain the Greens’ agenda, as set out in their own documents and writings.[4]
.....It has become increasingly clear that the process of “establishing” human-caused global warming has been manipulated by a small group of people, using mutual peer-review processes, and claiming to speak for many more scientists who had little input and no real opportunity to review the final documents. The closed-shop nature of the process is counter the scientific empiricism of the enlightenment, and marks another significant break with traditional Western culture.To Greens believers, this is of little consequence. Ultimately, global warming is a matter of faith.
Similarly Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. Perhaps one of the most dramatic scenes in the film is the depiction of an ice-wall collapsing. Viewers are led to believe that they are watching footage of an actual collapse. The truth, however, is that the scene was taken from the opening credits of a Hollywood movie, The Day after Tomorrow.[57]
Despite the fact that a British court found the film contained significant errors,[58] many environmentalists continue to believe it is true.Power Line (blog)It is well worth the ten minutes or so it takes to read this American Thinker post by Norman Rogers from a couple of weeks ago that reviews the work of Roy Spencer, John Christy, and others on the question of climate sensitivity, which we have covered ...Current Poll» How much "Man Made" CO2 Is In The Earth's Atmosphere?
I think ALL of the CO2 in the Earth's Atmosphere is from man.
I'm not sure how much "Man Made" CO2 is in the Earth's Atmosphere.
There is .04% CO2 in the Earth's Atmosphere and of that "Man" has added an extra 4% (1 part in 62,500)
