This provides nearly unlimited resolution.<\/li>\n<li>Then they notch filtered to remove resonances and seasonal cycles such as the shark\u2019s teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Then they low pass filtered out all frequencies above a specified frequency to remove random noise spikes.<\/li>\n<li>Then they reconstructed the data again as CO2 ppm concentration versus time and cleaned the CO2 time signal.<\/li>\n<li>They calculated these data as the time derivative of CO2 concentration. This is the rate of change of CO2 ppm concentration. It is like the speed or velocity of a car.<\/li>\n<li>Then they drilled into these data to look at the time window beginning about a year before the Pinatubo volcano eruption of June 15, 1991 and a few years after the eruption.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What we proved was that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The NOAA-Scripps \u201cKeeling curve\u201d dataset from Mauna Loa is responsive to CO2 changes even though the event causing those changes is physically remote, thousands of miles away from the NOAA measurement site on Mauna Loa in Hawaii. We now know this NOAA data will be sufficient for further data science. Confirming this was one of the primary purposes of our first phase of work.<\/li>\n<li>Our results confirm that human CO2 emissions are insignificant compared to net global average CO2 concentration. We demonstrate this by simple calculations in our written publication of the results of this Pinatubo study and in 2 addenda.<\/li>\n<li>The software and method we used is sensitive to changes in the CO2 daily records from Mauna Loa and well suited for further research.<\/li>\n<li>The result of this first phase of our study is consistent with <em>Henry\u2019s Law<\/em> in conjunction with the <em>Law of Mass Action<\/em>, <em>Le Chatelier\u2019s Principle<\/em>, <em>Graham\u2019s Law<\/em> and <em>Fick\u2019s Law<\/em>. CO2 concentrations in air, ocean, soil, and biosphere began to rapidly re-equilibrate to the cooler Earth surface caused by reduced insolation due to the cloud belt. As the cloud belt dissipated and surface warmed, CO2 concentrations rapidly re-equilibrated.<\/li>\n<li>Following <em>Henry\u2019s Law<\/em>, human-produced CO2 can only temporarily change CO2 concentration in air and ocean surface. Our results, confirming NOAA-Scripps results, suggest that human CO2 emissions are a temporary perturbation to an ongoing CO2 trend, like the perturbation caused by the Pinatubo volcanic eruption and its aftermath, but much smaller. Perturbation by human emissions will be rapidly returned to the CO2 trend. CO2 concentration in air is controlled by CO2 solubility in water surface. More than 90 percent of Earth\u2019s water is in the ocean, and ocean is 70 percent of earth\u2019s surface.<\/li>\n<li>Solubility of any gas in any liquid is an intensive property of matter, like a boiling point, or a specific heat. Intensive properties of matter are not a function of the amount of material present. Instead, solubility and diffusivity of a gas in a liquid are a property of the matter itself; in this case, diffusivity of CO2 is a function of the molecular weight of CO2. Adding more CO2 to the air, whether done by a volcano or by humans, or by decaying biological material, does not change the ratio of CO2 gas concentration in ocean surface versus CO2 gas concentration in air above that surface, this is <em>Henry\u2019s Law<\/em>. Surface temperature does change that ratio.<\/li>\n<li>Solubility or diffusivity of a gas in a liquid depends on the surface temperature and the molecular weight of the gas, not on the amount of the gas or the source of the gas. Diffusivity of a gas in a liquid is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular weight of the gas; this is <em>Graham\u2019s Law<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>There are many variables that affect surface temperature, some are systematic like Earth\u2019s orbital distance from the sun, and other variables may be chaotic, such as ocean and air currents, storms, humidity and clouds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The bottom-line results of our experiment and analysis of the NOAA Scrips Keeling data conclusively PROVES that \u201c<em>the net amount of equilibrated carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is the same as if human beings never existed<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Climate Change is therefore a natural phenomenon, and not manmade.<\/p>\n<p>Let that sink in.<\/p>\n<p>The total net amount of CO2 in our atmosphere today is no more or no less than if humans never existed on our planet.<\/p>\n<p>Why does the keeling curve show an increase of roughly 3 ppm per year? Because of slight increases in sea surface temperatures resulting from perturbations in the Earth-Sun orbit and changes in the gravitational pull between the earth and large planets which also slightly affect sea surface temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the Vatican released a new documentary on \u2018climate change\u2019 based on what it calls the \u201c<em>reckless new use of fossil fuels<\/em>\u201d, through Cardinal Czerny, and calls for \u201c<em>zero emissions<\/em>\u201d by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>In september, Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib tried to browbeat the nation\u2019s largest bank CEOs into not lending to oil and gas companies. Thankfully, and correctly, JP Morgan Chase\u2019s CEO, Jamie Dimon, responded to the Congresswomen when asked if Chase would cease lending to energy companies as follows:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Absolutely not and that would be the road to hell for America<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a recent private exchange with Dr. Richard S. Lindzen, Professor Emeritus, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of over 200 scientific papers and books on the atmosphere, I pointed out that the \u2018climate change\u2019 farce drivers are purely and totally financial and political.<\/p>\n<p>The science is clearly on our side. Of course I was preaching to the Choir.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Lindzen points out:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026<em>the importance in propaganda of establishing the narrative (i.e., the accepted story line). One of the more subtle techniques is to pepper the narrative (climate change is caused by man) with many obviously dubious features.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This may seem counter intuitive. However, by doing so, one diverts attention from the narrative\u2019s larger framework. People immediately attack these dubious features while leaving the larger narrative untouched.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He offers us this sage advice: \u2018Stop treating AGW\u2026 human-caused global warming\/climate change\u2026 as a worthy opponent. Do not ascribe reasonableness to the other side. It is not reasonable, not true, and not even plausible<\/em>.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This message and these facts must be brought to the people. Only then can the political establishment be jarred into reality. Perhaps we should start with religious leaders in the Christian and Jewish community.<\/p>\n<p>Thought provoking articles about this subject and our study such as those published by the <em>Times of Israel<\/em> by Israeli-American Rabbi Avraham Schwartz pave the way.<\/p>\n<p><em>Author: Tomer Tamarkin<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nDecember 20, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 19, 2020 the State of California became the first state to issue a stay-at-home order, mandating all residents stay at home except to go to an essential job or shop for essential needs.
