Big swings in weather - small swings in climate (John Shanahan) USofA

Which is more important to prepare for in the next two centuries: natural swings in the weather, natural swings in Earth’s climate or possibly a little man-made global warming?

John Shanahan February 21, 2018 Back in 313 AD you could be put to death for being a Christian. Then Emperor Constantine switched the official religion of the Roman Empire from pagan to Christianity over night. One day you could be killed because you were a Christian. The next day you could be killed because you were a pagan.

Denver and other places around the world frequently experience dramatic weather changes that kill poor and homeless persons and many animals. It is natural weather, not catastrophic man-made global warming. One day it is 53 degrees Fahrenheit. Two days later, it is minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit. See chart for history of extreme Denver weather changes. Floods, hurricanes and blizzards affect many people also.

Catastrophic man-made global warming alarmists claim they can control Earth's climate by stopping use of fossil fuels and sprinkling reflective materials or cloud seeding in the sky. They initiate lawsuits to try to force the government to give them the right to control Earth’s climate for the whole world. To heck with poor people that need fossil fuels. Let them use solar ovens and scrounge for scraps of firewood. Many grade school, high school teachers, and university professors demand that there is only one side to the discussion of man-made global warming: use of fossil fuels is causing catastrophic, irreversible global warming, catastrophic climate change, and catastrophic climate disruption. This is the only thing they teach students. They don’t teach that there is serious scientific debate, that alarmist computer models don’t duplicate long term climate history. They don’t mention that the computer modelers use fudge factors to make the computer models look like they understand Earth’s short term climate changes in order to predict catastrophes several centuries in the future.

Survival reality if self-proclaimed Anthropogenic Global Warming Alarmists force the world to go without fossil fuels will look like this. Heating with natural gas is better!

Man-made global warming alarmists claim they can control Earth's average temperature all over the globe, all year long, year in, year out, forever. No human nor Biblical prophet has done that. Not even God does that.

Denver's weather frequently changes by 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit within 48 hours.

We wish that climate change alarmists could control Denver's rapid 70 to 80 degree Fahrenheit natural temperature swings that have been recorded regularly since 1872, so we could have just one set of clothing in the closet each season?

Here are over 100 articles by alarmists about man-made global warming, man-made climate change, man-made climate disruption, man-made dramatic sea level rise. They are posted on Environmentalists for Nuclear – USA website, see: 350.org Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Citizens ‘Climate Lobby, Climate Action Network, Climate Central, EARTHJUSTICE, EPA, Environmental Defense Fund, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Met Office Natural Resources Defense Council, NOAA Our Children’s Trust PBS, Rainforest Action Network Scripps, Sierra Club The Climate Group, The Climate Reality Project, The Nature Conservancy, Trenbeth, Union of Concerned Scientists World Resources Institute, World Wildife Fund

Women picking flowers for market near Cochabamba, Bolivia The world has many beautiful places. We can work together for peace, to have prosperity with plentiful fossil fuel and nuclear energy, better lives for people everywhere, to keep the environment clean, and preserve biological diversity and wildlife habitat.

Having everyone work towards a better world as described above is a big challenge but much easier to accomplish than climate alarmists trying to control or significantly influence Earth’s climate and control access to energy from fossil fuels for the rest of us.

Nuclear power advocates have taken stands on both sides of the catastrophic man-made global warming topic. Some nuclear advocates who side with the alarmists criticize and denigrate people who are open to discussion on the man-made global warming topic.

The two sides are very far apart. One side is more correct than the other, scientifically speaking. Nuclear power advocates should be savvy enough to decide which side of the catastrophic man-made global warming topic is scientifically more accurate.

Are humans capable of significantly influencing Earth’s climate or not? Nuclear power in the United States faces many long existing challenges. EFN-USA recommends that nuclear power specialists in the USA work to solve the pressing nuclear challenges in America and leave catastrophic man-made global warming discussion to scientists in these fields. One of America’s greatest nuclear engineers, Ted Rockwell, said that nuclear power can help with climate change from all causes.
