Ice core samples reveal that UN IPCC climate models picked the 8,000 year low of global temperatures on which to base their absurd “anthropogenic global warming” (AGW) cult
Ivor Cummins posted this 4 minute video on YouTube a few weeks ago.
His SubStack is here (100) The Emperor Speaks | Ivor Cummins | Substack.
The video has been around for quite a while, but in case you missed the brutal four-minute take-down of all the misrepresentations about global warming told by the UN, its organ, the IPCC, and by climate chicken littles operating at every level in society from the highest kakistocrat to the lowest Greta, here is a link:
The BEST Climate Clip I've EVER seen - What do you think?? #SCIENCE - YouTube
Quite frankly, I am amazed that the global thought police haven’t taken it down.
Cliff notes
Ice core 3km thick hauled to the surface for climate information over time on Planet Earth (120,000 years of climate data).
Can map out the temperature of the 3 km ice sheet (1,1000th degree accuracy).
Temperatures of the just the last 8,000 years constructed and shown in the chart below.
The x-axis is in thousands of years. Y-axis is derived temperature readings from ice cores.
4,000 years ago 2.5 degrees warmer than today
2000 years ago - Roman times temps dropped by 2.5 degrees
1,000 years ago - Roman to Viking era - temperatures up one degree up to medieval warm period around 1,000 years ago, 1.5 degrees warmer than today.
Between 1650 AD up to 18th century – around 1875 = lowest temperature point in 8,000 years = the time we started to observe meteorology – man made readings started, not man made climate change.
Other core samples – confirm medieval ice age ended in 1875 – precisely the time climate readings used in climate models start.
Studies of Carbon 14 dating of readings taken from peat bogs, tree rings confirmed the pattern – corroborated with similar studies in China and North Africa.
There has been an increase in temperature in the 20th century – BUT the increase was from the lowest point in 10,000 years - 1875.
20th century temperature increase = man made? Not provable.
There is a lot of research that invalidates UN IPCC climate models and hence ALL claims of AGW. There is also lots of research showing that the most significant impacts are the most obvious and NOT changes to trace amounts of CO2 or methane.
The Sun is by far the most significant influencer of climate and clouds/water vapour are one of the most significant greenhouse gases. The climate operates in cycles (with speed bumps) and not in the linear fashion of the IPCC models.
Here’s some background to read and view at your leisure starting with an old favourite video from YouTube:
My Gift To Climate Alarmists - YouTube
One might wonder what the motivation is to intentionally lie and misrepresent “global warming/”climate change” and CO2 emissions in order to deprive the billions of “food and energy poor” people of the world of the energy and food they need to escape poverty and deprivation.
Instead of “making up shit” about AGW and climate change, they could be promoting cheap and available hydrocarbon energy use to develop agriculture amongst the world’s poor so that they might feed themselves and develop the infrastructure to improve the quality of life from birth to death.
Side note, even in the West, cheap energy is abhorrent to “chicken little” anti-humanists. There would be abundant cheap energy in the West and higher living standards for the poor in the West, were it not for government price rigging and taxes imposed on hydrocarbon based energy in favour of heavily subsidized “renewable energy” – policies that intentionally impoverish the poor far more than impact the rich – even in the West.
The motivation to pursue the “Green Agenda” is entirely ANTI-HUMAN and any way you cut it – EVIL.
Onwards!

Hi Peter - see points 1 and 2 below.
The LAG of CO2 changes AFTER temperature changes is an absolute disproof of the CAGW (aka Global Warming aka Climate Change) scam. The CAGW scam ASSUMES CO2 drives temperature, but that would require that CO2 changes LEAD temperature changes BUT that was disproved by me in 2008 and Humlum et al in 2013 (Science). Also Kuo et al made the same conclusion in 1990 (Nature).
The CO2 scam is "cart before horse".
That disproof has been swept under the rug by the climate scammers for 33 years!
Best, Allan

[excerpt]
Fossil fuels comprise about 85% of global primary energy, whereas green energy provides less than 2%, despite trillions of dollars in squandered subsidies. Imagine how much better the world’s poor would be if these vast sums had been spent intelligently on clean water, sanitation and efficient energy systems.
Cheap, abundant reliable energy is the lifeblood of society – it IS that simple. When politicians fool with energy policy, real people suffer and die. That is the tragic legacy of false global warming alarmism.

Observations and Conclusions:
1. Temperature, among other factors, drives atmospheric CO2 much more than CO2 drives temperature. The rate of change dCO2/dt is closely correlated with temperature and thus atmospheric CO2 LAGS temperature by ~9 months in the modern data record. [published on icecap.us in January 2008]
2. CO2 also lags temperature by ~~800 years in the ice core record, on a longer time scale.
3. Atmospheric CO2 lags temperature at all measured time scales.
4. CO2 is the feedstock for carbon-based life on Earth, and Earth’s atmosphere and oceans are clearly CO2-deficient. CO2 abatement and sequestration schemes are nonsense.
5. Based on the evidence, Earth’s climate is insensitive to increased atmospheric CO2 – there is no global warming crisis.
6. Recent global warming was natural and irregularly cyclical – the next climate phase following the ~20 year pause will probably be global cooling, starting by ~2020 or sooner.
7. Adaptation is clearly the best approach to deal with the moderate global warming and cooling experienced in recent centuries.
8. Cool and cold weather kills many more people than warm or hot weather, even in warm climates. There are about 100,000 Excess Winter Deaths every year in the USA and about 10,000 in Canada.
9. Green energy schemes have needlessly driven up energy costs, reduced electrical grid reliability and contributed to increased winter mortality, which especially targets the elderly and the poor.
10. Cheap, abundant, reliable energy is the lifeblood of modern society. When politicians fool with energy systems, real people suffer and die. That is the tragic legacy of false global warming alarmism.

I not only saw this video, but a reproduced the graph for my students...23rd and 4th grades. Last time I said anything about global warming being a hoax, I got hauled into the principal office cause a parent (woke) complained.
