Is There Global Warming?
Welcome........and partake of the truth.
I am not a scientist and do not pretend to be. But, I have been watching the issue of climate change now for two decades and have found it is not what many say it is. Here are a collection of articles, sources, and information. Use it if you like. Hopefully it will encourage you to seek your own truth since this is one of the great issues of our time.

“Extreme weather events such as cyclones, floods, droughts and tornadoes are not increasing in incidence or lives lost. Indeed, the global mortality from all weather-related natural disasters declined by 99 percent while the population trebled after 1920, thanks to improved economies and technologies. Food production and calorie consumption per capita continue to increase, thanks to the green revolution, increased CO2 fertilization and longer growing seasons. Fossil fuels contribute enormously to the production, safe storage and transport of food and thus to human nutrition.

We are trying to save the people of the planet from the people “saving the planet” from what has been – for 30 years — an always predicted but never realized climate catastrophe.
But it is in Africa where electricity is truly a matter of life and death. Only 25 percent of African homes has electricity. That explains much of why life expectancy in Africa is 20 years lower than in the rest of the world.Reliable electricity means that Africans don’t have to do their cooking and heating with wood and animal dung. That dramatically reduces lung and heart disease.
Reliable electricity means that water can be purified for safe drinking that reduces the largest cause of child mortality.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) primarily affects minimum temperatures at night, in winter and high latitudes. This reduces temperature variability, the diurnal temperature range and hence cardiac and COPD mortality, asthma, respiratory infections and even gastroenteritis. Whereas heatwaves have a great effect on the
those about to die, cold spells have more prolonged effects on respiratory, cardiovascular and stroke mortality.
Air pollution kills about 7 million people annually, and the major culprit is not fossil fuels, but burning biomass (wood, dung and crop waste). The provision of affordable electricity for cooking and heating of homes in developing countries could save millions of lives annually. Air quality in the developed world has improved greatly since the 1970s, thanks to catalytic converters, scrubbers and precipitators, removing 97 percent of the sulfur dioxide and 99 percent of coal’s fly ash. Coal power in the U.S. is 17 times safer than that in India and China.
Energy costs need to be kept as low as possible, especially in cold climates, so that poor people can afford to keep warm in winter. For every death from heat, there are twenty from cold.
