Another 0.5 Degree of Warming Will Kill Us All?
The Climate Industrial Complex warns us that we dare not cross a temperature threshold that exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7°F) of increase from those that existed before the Industrial Revolution. We have already seen an increase in temperature of about 1.0 degree Celsius, so they are trying to forestall a rise of another 0.5oC (0.9°F) before catastrophe strikes. Does this seem plausible to you?

In fact, a 0.9°F rise is barely noticeable sitting in your own temperature-controlled home where the thermostat likely isn’t even triggered to respond to a temperature change that is that small. Let’s take a look at just how small this is:
 
·     The temperature will rise more than 0.9°F between 10:00 AM and noon on
most days.

·      0.9°F is the temperature change you get from an elevation change of about
500 feet.

·      At mid-latitudes, 0.9°F is about the temperature change you get from a
latitude change of just 30 miles.

So, if you are living in fear of a pending climate catastrophe over a less than a one degree rise in temperature, you could easily solve it by moving to a slightly higher elevation or a few miles northward. For example, if you currently reside in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a move 30 miles up the road to Wilmington will ease your fear quite nicely.
Time to Cancel Earth Day
By nearly every metric, Earth’s ecosystems and the human condition are thriving. Much of the improvement is the result of a modest one degree of warming since the middle of the 19th century accompanied by an increase in CO2.
 
We have done a very good job in protecting our ecosystems, cleaning our air and water, and protecting endangered species. That should be celebrated. But Earth Day is no celebration. The observance has been hijacked by climate extremists who have made a bogeyman of the harmless gas carbon dioxide, ignoring its benefits as plant food.
 
With no purpose other than to serve as a fundraiser for climate cultists, Earth Day should be canceled.
