United to combat climate change

This is the motto used by the UN for the upcoming Copenhagen conference on climate change. Not so long ago, in the 70's, we where calling this global cooling, then later, it became global warming and now it is called climate change.

The United Nations of the world are now embarking in the goal of combating climate change!

Does this make sense?

Climate change is by definition true, the climate is always changing and always will. From daily changes, seasonal changes, to other cyclical changes like the 11 years sun cycles and 3 types of orbital cycles (Orbital_eccentricity, the tilt angle of Earth's axis of rotation , precession). From other long term cycles like the path of the earth cycling around the galaxy center and passing through different concentration of cosmic rays.

Can we influence Climate Change?

I see this as a physical impossibility, climate change is here to stay and is necessary for the evolution of life on earth. We have adapted and will adapt to climate changes in the future.

So what are they talking about?

It is clear that the target of the UN IPCC and other "green" groups on "combating" climate change stems from the perspective that CO2 concentration in the air is mostly responsible for the "sudden" climate changes we have seen since humans are pumping large amount of CO2 in the air by our burning of fossil fuels.

So the main theory is that CO2 by humans (call Anthropogenic CO2 or Anthropogenic global warming AGW) and temperature are the main cause of all that BAD climate change. The more CO2 in the air, the more the temperature changes... Or wait... The more the climate changes... Up or Down... Left of right?

The main reason it is now called climate change, instead of global warming is that the CO2 keeps going up and the global average temperature of the atmosphere if stable of maybe going down. So calling it global warming does not make sense anymore, since we have seen for the past 10 years or so a flat trend in temperature changes and it seems that we are going to see a 10-30 years global cooling.

The main goal now is to cut the "greenhouse gas emissions" by large amounts worldwide.

Does this make sense? Is CO2 the cause of temperature changes?
Obviously the relation of CO2 concentration in the air and temperature changes does not seems to be related. So why do we still want to cut CO2 concentration in the air if CO2 is not the main driver? Well we need to combat climate change! Why?

So this is the main question that remains, WHY are we doing this if the CO2 is not responsible for climate change. CO2 is going up in an almost constant rate and temperature is going up... down... left... right...

I have documented in this blog many aspect of the climate change debate, many aspect of why some groups (like Al Gore) are pushing this. I will not repeat everything here, but I invite you to browse the blog if you want to know more.

It took me years of research to convince me that what is happening has nothing to do we humanity pumping CO2 in the air. I have tried to document most of my research, but many more exist online.

Does this mean we can keep burning fossil fuels?
ABSOLUTELY NOT... Humanity now rely on fossil fuels for almost 90% of our energy needs. Humanity needs this to survive, but we must strive to find other sources of energy that will not be gone in a generation or two, that is more dense, that will last for thousand of years and most importantly we need an energy source that will not put pollutant in the air we breathe.

We have this energy source now, it is used in 450+ power stations in the world, France is powered by it for around 80% of their needs. The world need more of it NOW before it is too late.
