The Clexit Founding Statement

Carbon dioxide is NOT a dangerous pollutant - it is a natural, non-toxic and beneficial gas which feeds all life on earth. Its increasing concentration is improving the environment, not harming it.

Carbon dioxide is also an insignificant player in global warming. Its so-called "greenhouse effect" is far smaller than that of atmospheric water vapour and, because this effect declines logarithmically as carbon dioxide levels rise, most of its small impact on surface temperature is already exhausted.

Carbon dioxide was unable to prevent the cyclic repetition of the Pleistocene Ice Ages or the Little Ice Age, and there was no human industry to create the warm climate optima of Egyptian, Minoan, Roman or Medieval times (the Earth was generally warmer than today at these past peaks). Man-made carbon dioxide did not cause the heat waves of the 1930's or the fears of global cooling in the 1970's. It plays no part in creating our short term weather. It does not drive ocean currents, El Nino, the Milankovitch cycles, the sun spot cycles or the eras of volcanism.

In the big climate picture, carbon dioxide hardly registers except in discredited UN/IPCC computer models.

Global warming has occurred naturally many times in the past and is not to be feared – it is not controlled by carbon dioxide or humans.

More carbon dioxide is already greening the planet as it has done in the past. Warming oceans always expel more moisture and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and these two gases-of-life always encourage plant growth and produce a verdant globe.

It was the cold, dry ice ages that created frigid deserts, life-smothering ice sheets, retreating oceans and massive losses for all life forms. Cold oceans also drain the atmosphere of carbon dioxide thus creating starvation stress for all plants. A warm globe always supports more life. The human race, the forests and the coral reefs have far more to fear from global cooling.

The world must abandon this suicidal Global Warming crusade. Man does not and cannot control the climate. Climate and weather are always changing, but apart from cyclic spikes of El Nino warming, there has been no measurable warming for twenty years.

It would be far better to spend some of the trillions being spent on the climate crusade to ensure that our infrastructure can cope with whatever weather extremes do occur; or tackling some real world problems such as terrorism, displaced people, water supply, urban air and water pollution, garbage and landfill.

If the UN/EU persists in this climate madness, the rest of the world must support Clexit.

Neither national, state or local governments should support, sign, enforce or waste public funds on any of the job-killing climate agreements, Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, Habitat 3 or any other foreign agendas transferring real power and wealth from elected nationals to unelected international bureaucracies.
