Perilously Close To Losing Plant Life (And Thus All Life On Earth) -- January 22, 2019

Updates

January 23, 2019: more on Higgs theory here. 

Original Post 

Unlike the marketing campaign by Algore et al, this is really good science, the Higgs theory:
  • Global warming and cooling are driven by the sun, specifically by the solar-sourced Interplanetary Magnetic Field, which regulates incoming cosmic rays, which in turn govern cloudiness and thus global temperature (the breathtakingly elegant Svensmark Theory).
  • Global temperature oscillations lag 25 years behind the causative solar magnetic fluctuations. This 25-year lag is due to ocean thermal inertia in remarkable agreement with the 15-20-year time lag estimated by Abdussamatov et al. 2012).
  • The idea that CO2 is the main climate driver, despite its scarcity in Earth’s atmosphere, ie 400 parts per million, near plant-starvation level, contrasts starkly with CO2’s 1,000 to 4,000 ppm levels for most of the last 600 million years.
  • Earth is now cooling.  Global warming ended in 2016: proof that the sun, not CO2, drives Earth’s climate. Moreover, from AD500 to 1200, CO2 levels were anti-correlated with Earth’s temperature.
I particularly like point #3 -- this has been brought up before. Below 300 ppm, "we" were perilously close at one time to losing plant life (and thus all life on earth).

Below 300 ppm (and one can argue that even at 400 ppm) CO2 become a trace molecule. Without it, life would not exist on earth.
