Carbon and Carbon Dioxide are very different. CO2, the invisible, odorless gas you just exhaled, has gotten a bum rap. For starters there would be little or no life on Earth without it. Moreover, it is not at all the same thing as elemental carbon. As one of CFACT's Facebook friends said in a comment, "if you can call CO2 carbon, I'm going to start calling water hydrogen."

Most people recognize that they exhale carbon dioxide and plants absorb it in order to live. Not a dark thought. So in an universally evil desire to scare the populace, they seized on using the term carbon as a synonym for carbon dioxide knowing it would conjure up visions of soot, lamp black and coal dust none of which were warm and fuzzy. Carbon is a solid. Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas, which while containing a single atom of carbon, bears no other resemblance to elemental carbon.

This is just one of a myriad of propaganda techniques global warming campaigners employ to sway public opinion.

It's like when they post pictures of water vapor (ideally casting a shadow) emerging from generator cooling towers to illustrate CO2 (not carbon) emissions. It's a way to trick us into thinking we can see carbon dioxide and there is something dirty about it.

CO2, not elemental carbon, is a greenhouse gas. Then there's the biggie. Climate computer simulations consistently run hotter than observed reality. This indicates that global temperature to the gas we're breathing out right now is nowhere near as sensitive 1

as they'd lead us to believe.

As always we ask, if global warming science is settled beyond discussion (as if there was such a thing in science), why do they lie all the time?

Carbon is not a synonym for carbon dioxide

By Dr. Jay Lehr |April 25th, 2019 From the very day that Al Gore signed his name to the well known book, An Inconvenient Truth, the general population was told that carbon emissions were going to destroy our planet. Gore, more or less, coined the term “carbon footprint” (while always hiding the enormity of his own footprint). Gore and his cohorts were never actually talking about carbon. They were talking about carbon dioxide.

Initially they understood that most people recognize that they exhale carbon dioxide and plants absorb it in order to live. Not a dark thought. So in a universally evil desire to scare the populace, they seized on using the term carbon as a synonym for carbon dioxide knowing it would conjure up visions of soot, lamp black and coal dust none of which were warm and fuzzy. Carbon is a solid. Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas, which while containing a single atom of carbon, bears no other resemblance to elemental carbon.

The public around the world has unwittingly accepted it without realizing their minds were being manipulated toward negative thoughts. It is possibly the best example of subliminal brain washing mankind has encountered.

Those desiring to delude the public make no concession to this fact because it is not really their goal to mess with the planetary weather, but rather it is their goal to do as H.L, Mencken, the sage of Baltimore, once said “the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence clamorous to be led to safety by menacing it with an. Endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” Global warming has been among their very best hobgoblins .

Perhaps the most diabolical of all the aspects of this deception is how major Fortune 500 companies have jumped on this band wagon to show there greenness in an effort to remove the life blood of our planet from our planet. Currently, every day on radio and TV you can witness Exxon-Mobil touting their efforts to make their industrial plants like real plant, plants that absorb deadly emissions from the very products their companies produce, petroleum.

It will be a cold day in hell when we buy their products in support of the blatant lies they are using to promote their company. Surely one of the biggest fossil fuel companies in the world knows they are conning the public just as everyone is who is using the term carbon in place of the totally different carbon dioxide. Deceit is the name of the game.
