Flipping the script – planning for another 4-8 billion people on Planet Earth
The fantastic movie “Climate: The Movie” is Still up on YouTube here:
Climate: The Movie (The Cold Truth) English (youtube.com)
The REAL scientists – not the chicken little children running around squawking “The End of the World is Nigh” are here:
· Professor Steven Koonin (author of ‘Unsettled’, a former provost and vice-president of Caltech),
· Professor Dick Lindzen (formerly professor of meteorology at Harvard and MIT),
· Professor Will Happer (professor of physics at Princeton),
· Dr John Clauser (winner of the Nobel prize in Physics in 2022),
· Professor Nir Shaviv (Racah Institute of Physics),
· Professor Ross McKitrick (University of Guelph),
· Willie Soon and several others.
Much of the material is drawn from compilations like this one:
THERE IS NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY – NOR WAS THERE A SIGNIFCANT PANDEMIC
There was a propaganda campaign to frighten people and steal their money. The whole C19 scamdemic and “Climate Change” agendas are a criminal racket.
More and more people are waking up to this, at the current rate of progress we will see a majority of the world who will be saying “WOKE OFF” to the racket and we will see massive amounts of clinical fraud, insurance fraud, bureaucracy ad waste eliminated so that people can actually be made healthier – expanding QUALITY LIFE YEARS GAINED – and dooming all the Malthusian, DeAngelis’s to the “you first” queue.
Ok, a few thoughts about the movie.
It shows how we are in between ice ages – coming off the bottom of a minimum of ice/warmest in climate position.
It shows that the sun and water vapour have far more impact o climate that changes in tiny levels (0.04%) of CO2 and only trace levels of methane and nitrous oxide (laughing gas). Even more laughable referred to as nitrogen reduction.
As a reminder, air is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. 1% argon – the other gases are so small as to not to make up even 0.1% of air – like carbo dioxide at 0.04%.
I wish I could get back to a hearing with US Energy officials explaining their CO2 strategy and claiming that CO” made up 5-7% - and these were the plonkers advocating spending trillions on useless laws, rules and regulations.
Ok, so let’s ballpark the issue of population and Planet Earth.
Surface area of the planet – 4 times π times 4,000 miles squared = 4z3.14x16 million
= around 200 million square miles.
70% of the surface area of the planet is ocean.
10% of the surface area of the planet is ice (remember this is a Maunder minimum level
which leaves 20% - 40 million square miles of land.
Of the land area of the planet:
33% of the earths land surface is desert (there are some numbers stating 20%)
What Percentage of the Earth's Land Surface is Desert? - Universe Today
24% of the earths land surface is mountainous:
How Much Of The World's Land Mass Is Mountainous? - WorldAtlas
6% of the world's land surface is rain forest:
Rainforest (nationalgeographic.org)
There is another 3% of fresh water:
Earth's Fresh Water (nationalgeographic.org)
Summing those numbers we get habitable land – 66% - two thirds of land area of Planet Earth not taken up by humanity.
Which leaves around one third of that 40 million square miles of land area that is not ice or ocean = around 13 million square miles.
Coincidentally, this is the exact same amount as the land are of deserts.
New, deserts are important for climate, so I am not suggesting the greening of the Sahara, even though it was once all green and still has underground rivers and reservoirs.

The Amazon basin is the recipient of vast amounts of desert dust and would miss it! I am not sure Australians would miss their sandstorms – or South Americans would want the Nazca lines eradicated, or the US DoD would like Mojave sequestered for “greenifying” ... but greening is happening – the world is getting greener.
The Earth is getting greener. Literally. - Vox
“The global greening effect, which dates back to the 1980s or earlier, isn’t tiny. In one 2019 study published in the journal Nature Sustainability, scientists found that the Earth had increased its green leaf area (i.e., the amount of leaves) by 5 percent in the last two decades.
That’s equivalent to an area the size of the Amazon rainforest covered in a thin layer of leaves. A more recent paper, meanwhile, found that the world is not only leafier, but the rate of greening is actually accelerating across more than half of its land.”
MODIS Shows Earth is Greener | Terra (nasa.gov)
“The world is literally a greener place than it was 20 years ago, and data from NASA satellites has revealed a counterintuitive source for much of this new foliage: China and India.”
China’s desert greening inspires world, says UN - Oman Observer
Population of the planet = 8 billion – let’s leave China and India aside and focus on the greening of desert lands.
Now, not all available land is taken up by humanity – there are lots of reserves, parks and the like.
Around half (44%?) of the land area is agricultural – which feeds the 8 billion people.
You can tell from this Wiki entry that the climate chicken little Karens have got their eyes on the entire process.
It is, of course, none of their beeswax The land does not belong to them – they can’t just plant a rainbow flag and say, “I claim this land on behalf of the One World Government”.
So, here’s the deal.
Consider that burning natural gas creates CO2 and oxygen – CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O – plus it crates a bunch of energy – all the building blocks for huma and animal life.
Note how eve the “greens” are backing off calling out natural gas”.
We could develop ad make habitable the Planet’s deserts and support another 8 billion people.
The world’s population has doubled in the last 50 years. Maybe the declining populations of Chia, Krea, Japa, the US and Europe will not double in the next 50 years and actually go into decline – leaving India, Africa and Suth America as the dominant “breeders” that will be running the planet – not whites or Orientals.
Maybe humanity should sack the United Nations staff and reorganizes it into turning deserts into gardens of Eden – and stop trying to kill people with chemicals, biologics administered via aerosols and injections whilst trafficking them into bankrupt western nations and their uselessly bureaucratic welfare states (that encourage dependency and sloth, whilst ratioing welfare to those that really need it).
How much methane is there? A lot! It is everywhere – just not in the air!
In fact, it poses quite a risk if it somehow escaped from where it is trapped.
The top 3 countries (Russia, Iran and Qatar) have over 100 thousand cubic kilometres of proven gas deposits out of over 200 thousand cubic kilometres.
List of countries by natural gas proven reserves - Wikipedia
Maybe “the total undiscovered natural gas resource in the form of gas hydrate ranges between 25.2 and 157.8 trillion cubic feet.”
100 trillion cubic feet = around 3 trillion cubic meters – which implies that most of it has been proven,
Another 8 billion people might consume the same amount as is consumed currently, maybe more:
Global natural gas consumption 2022 | Statista
“Worldwide natural gas consumption has been rising over the past 20 years. In 2022, natural gas consumption worldwide amounted to roughly 3.94 trillion cubic meters.”
Imagine it – another 8 billion people living in what used to be desert! Clean, modern cities powered by methane that produces energy, with byproducts of plant food – which can feed massive eco systems of animal life – “unendangering” entire species!
Now, perhaps if I put on a wig with some ponytails and scram “How Dare You” at a few gullible, corrupt and ignorant politicians I could make a difference!
So, here’s a question for the good guys – the smart ones, not the ones with toys that don’t work and have cost tens of billions to be wrong, ad trillions for “renewable energy” scams.
What impact does the emission of water vapour for the current usage in the world have on cloud formation?
I ask because too much of a good thig can be bad, right? Too much water vapour = global warming? We are still living through the impact of Hunga Tonga that the UN Secretary General misbranded as “global boiling”.
I quite like clouds but is the H2O exhaust from using CH4 reflecting too much heat and thus causing an acceleration back to a Maunder maximum?!?
We do have an extinction level event building – micro- and nano-plastic pollution. It would be great if the world’s leaders could spend eve a tenth of what was spent n the C19 scamdemic plus renewables – you know 10% of the odd 100 trillion bucks.
I am looking forward to the development of new plastics that do not “shed” – either that or a return to glass containers!
A few closing thoughts:

CNG vs LNG: what are the differences? (met.com)
Compared to this:
Stupid is as stupid does.
I hope I haven’t given any ideas to the chicken littles to cover the oceans, rivers and lakes with giant tarpaulins to prevent evaporation into water vapour. Maybe they have other ideas about water. Quite aside from the train wrecks ad bridge destructions discharging toxins requiring years of clean up why is the PFA and fluoride content in water plus all the other toxins I our water supply not a health emergency?
Onwards!!
