"The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others." -- Fredrich Nietzsche

I can't imagine calling Obama, Al Gore, David Suzuki, Green Peace, environmentalists etc. visionaries so my choice is to call them deliberate liars.
If you repeat a lie often enough people will come to believe it, and there is a lot of people that believe the global warming CO2 lie.

The Earth is currently in an upward warming trend but if you look at the data in relation to historical temperatures we are barely out of the Ice Age.
During the Ice Age the mean temperature of the Earth is about 10C, currently we are about 15C. There have been periods when the Earth has reached 25C
to 27C. So temperature wise we are warming but the Earth goes through warming and cooling cycles if you look at the graph below. The graph goes back
600 million years and since man has only been on the Earth for 2 million years ... well you get my drift, we are not a major factor in the Earth's temperature
changing.

The second part of the lie has it CO2 is causing the temperature of the Earth to change, if you read the article that I have pasted below you'll see that currently
we are CO2 - impoverished in relation to other times in the Earth's history and that other factors besides atmospheric carbon influence Earth's temperature and
global warming.

The sad thing about this is we are concentrating on CO2 when there are lots of worse things that are man made in our environment. Agent Orange in Vietnam
that has poisoned the soil with cancer causing chemicals and nuclear contamination come to mind, I'm sure that's just a start. Our educational systems, science,
politics and religion have failed to end human conflict and suffering, which to me is the biggest problem we face and have always faced.

Another thought that came to my mind is government really knows that this is all nonsense but are using it to stimulate the global economy. Of course we'll
never be able to change the climate on the Earth in any major way but we can create a lot of jobs by trying. Does it make sense that a small piece of existence,
human beings, can change a much larger piece of existence in any major way?

The biggest factor in the Earth warming and cooling is the SUN !!!
Our Sun is our nearest star. It is the source of the heat and light which practically all life on our little planet depends on. It is huge compared to Earth - about 1.3 million times the volume, about 300,000 times the mass and about 109 times the diameter. But to the astronomers, our Sun is a typical yellow dwarf star about 1.5 million kilometres across.

Average global temperatures in the Early Carboniferous Period were hot- approximately 20° C (68° F). However, cooling during the Middle Carboniferous reduced average global temperatures to about 12° C (54° F). As shown on the chart below, this is comparable to the average global temperature on Earth today!

Similarly, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Early Carboniferous Period were approximately 1500 ppm (parts per million), but by the Middle Carboniferous had declined to about 350 ppm -- comparable to average CO2 concentrations today!

Earth's atmosphere today contains about 380 ppm CO2 (0.038%). Compared to former geologic times, our present atmosphere, like the Late Carboniferous atmosphere, is CO2- impoverished! In the last 600 million years of Earth's history only the Carboniferous Period and our present age, the Quaternary Period, have witnessed CO2 levels less than 400 ppm.

There has historically been much more CO2 in our atmosphere than exists today. For example, during the Jurassic Period (200 mya), average CO2 concentrations were about 1800 ppm or about 4.7 times higher than today. The highest concentrations of CO2 during all of the Paleozoic Era occurred during the Cambrian Period, nearly 7000 ppm -- about 18 times higher than today.

The Carboniferous Period and the Ordovician Period were the only geological periods during the Paleozoic Era when global temperatures were as low as they are today. To the consternation of global warming proponents, the Late Ordovician Period was also an Ice Age while at the same time CO2 concentrations then were nearly 12 times higher than today-- 4400 ppm. According to greenhouse theory, Earth should have been exceedingly hot. Instead, global temperatures were no warmer than today. Clearly, other factors besides atmospheric carbon influence earth temperatures and global warming.
