The Great Global Warming Swindle Page #3

much warmer than it is today

now the polar bears obviously

survived that period

they are with us today

they are very adaptable and

these warm periods in the past

(we call hipsy thermals),

posed no problem for them.

Climate variation in the

past is clearly natural

so why do we think is

any different today?

In the current alarm about

global warming

the culprit is industrial society.

Thanks to modern industry luxuries

once enjoyed exclusively by the rich

are now available in abundance

to ordinary people.

Novel technologies have made

life easier and richer;

modern transport and communications

have made the world...

...seem less foreign and distant.

Industrial progress has

changed our lives.

But has it also changed

our climate?

According to the theory of

man-made global warming,

industrial growth should cause

the temperature to rise,

but does it?

Anyone who goes around and says

that CO2 is responsible

...of the warming of the 20th century...

hasn't looked at the

basic numbers.

Industrial production in the early

decades of the 20th century...

...was still in its infancy restricted

to only a few countries...

handicapped by war and

economic depression.

After the Second World War

things changed.

Consumer goods like refrigerators and

washing machines and TVs and cars...

began to be mass-produced

for an international market.

Historians call this global

explosion of industrial activity

the post-war economic boom.

So how does the industrial story

compare with the temperature record?

Since the mid 19th century

the Earth's temperature...

has risen by just of a

half a degree Celsius.

But this warming began

long before cars...

and planes were even invented:

What's more, most of the rise in

temperature ocurred before 1940,

during the period when

industrial production...

was relatively insignificant.

After the Second Wold War,

during the post-war economic boom,

temperatures, in theory,

should have shot up,

but they didn't,

they fell;

not for one or two years,

but for four decades.

In fact, paradoxically, it wasn't

until the world...

economic recession in the 1970's

that they stopped falling.

CO2 began increase

exponentially in about 1940

but the temperature actually

began to decrease in 1940,

continued to about 1975

so this is the opposite relation.

When the CO2 increasing rapidly

but yet the temperature decreasing

then we cannot say that CO2

and the temperature go together.

Temperature went up significantly

up to 1940,

...when human production

of CO2 was relative low,

and then in the post war years,

when industry...

and the whole economies

of the world really got going,
