The Seven Pillars of Global Warming (aka 'Boiling')

David Turver (Eigen Values) has a very good post summarising the current state of the ‘global boiling’ agenda:

The Pillars Supporting Net Zero are Crumbling

He concludes:

It is clear that all of the pillars that support the Net Zero agenda are crumbling. Yes, we have seen some warming of global temperatures, but these are likely exaggerated. Yes, CO₂ emissions do have an impact on global temperatures, but the actual impact is probably lower than estimated by the IPCC.

These conclusions are supported by the fact that the predictions of climate catastrophe simply have not materialised and there’s precious little evidence that any of the key measures of extreme weather are getting worse. In reality, we have seen benefits from mild warming such as increased crop yields and a greener planet. What we should really fear is a colder climate. That is when harvests fail and people starve.

Even if the doomsayers are right that we are about to see some sort of climate breakdown, it is clear that the preferred strategy of mitigation is the wrong one. Adaptation is much the better strategy because it will produce benefits even if we pursue that strategy unilaterally and even if the climate change we are seeing is largely natural. Mitigation will probably never work and certainly will not work while developing countries continue to expand coal and gas-fired power plants and increase their CO₂ emissions.

This perhaps explains why the climate catastrophists and subsidy harvesters are stepping up the propaganda to try and generate popular hysteria and demand for action. But when even someone like Tony Blair acknowledges the futility of unilateral efforts, the Net Zero edifice must be close to collapse.

The post inspired me to summarise the global warming agenda as follows:

The Seven Pillars of Global Warming (aka 'Boiling'):

1. It is warming

2. We are the principal cause of the warming

3. The warming is 'dangerous, unnatural and unprecedented'

4.. Warming is dangerously accelerating all types of extreme weather - a 'climate crisis'

5. We can significantly mitigate the warming by severely reducing global greenhouse gas emissions

6. The social and economic costs of unmitigated warming greatly exceed the modest costs of mitigation (expansion of renewable energy + energy rationing)

7. The estimated environmental harms of unmitigated warming greatly exceed the modest environmental harms of mitigation (expansion of renewables)

ALL of those Seven Pillars are being demolished by the emerging evidence - except 1.
