When global lockdowns in 2020 caused most air traffic to come to a halt, I marveled at the serene beauty of our crystal clear blue and quiet skies, a phenomenon I only recalled from childhood.
Admittedly — with my own trips around the world over the past two decades and since air travel peaked early 20201, I was mostly looking down rather than up. Only when the planes stopped flying, I finally started to look up again to cherish this distant childhood memory.
With it began a wandering journey resulting in more questions than answers — could climate change be responsible for the different skies (i.e. how they appear nowadays vs how I remembered them from my childhood)? Could it be weather modification programs?2 Or even something more foolish, which I’d normally simply adjourn as an evil conspiracy?
Apocalyptic Beliefs
When researching different views from scientists around the world, I realized this isn’t a topic easily to be messed with. In fact, it doesn’t like to be challenged at all.3
Yet I firmly believe that it’s one of the most important and far reaching issues we all should make a genuine effort to understand — independently of what already “settled science”4 makes us believe.
WE CAN NOT OUTSOURCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS MATTER TO “EXPERTS” — AS TEMPTINGLY LOGIC AND CONVENIENT IT MAY BE.
Relying on anyone else’s views (including mine) won’t work for global warming, geoengineering, carbon credits etc. — simply because those buzzwords are charged with sentiments and therefore hardly scientifically objective.
Perhaps that’s why “Climate Change” as an originally political5 idea has turned into a question of “belief” and almost become a religion (“scientism”) which keeps people trapped without further questioning an otherwise convenient narrative:
IS Climate Change Real?
— a question (if we dare to ask it) results in answers we’d not expect. For instance, we hear (or see) that “water is getting scarce”, but also we need to realize that water exists in different states. Whilst the overall volume of water (as an element on Earth) isn’t actually changing, it certainly morphs from one form into another (i.e. ice, water vapor, etc.), and is therefore locally available in different quantities over time.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t climate change. Whatever chart you look at, whether it’s over the last 200, the last 2,000 or the last 2 million years, surely, the climate is and has (perhaps always) been changing6.
The real question however is — what’s humanity’s contribution and how much has mother nature already allocated towards our stupidity in the design of the planet?
With this comprehensive video, Greenpeace Founder Dr. Patrick Moore explains how “Climate Change is Based on False Narratives”. He left Greenpeace in 1986 (15 years after he had co-founded the organization) as the “environmental” movement had become more of a political movement than an environmental movement where the primary focus shifted towards creating narratives and stories that were designed to instill fear and guilt into the public so that the public would send more money.
Rising Sea Levels
Are sea levels rising? If so, why keep coastal properties getting more expensive?7 Why are Billionaires still buying new waterfront properties and keep renovating their beach home mansions?8 Why panic when new islands are constantly being born, others continue to grow and Earth overall gained more land than it lost over the course of the past 30 years?9
Sure, there are areas in the world which are being submerged and land masses that the seas start to claim back, but what’s the real water situation today, e.g. in Norway:
Apparently (and at least for now) sea levels are quite stable around the world10 — perhaps the real worry we should have is the drop in oxygen levels instead:
Global Warming
What about the rising temperatures we apparently see everywhere? Well, they may be real in some areas. But “everywhere”? And in relation to what?
Scientists Struggle to Understand Why Antarctica Hasn’t Warmed for Over 70 Years Despite Rise in CO2.
Up to one fifth of all warming reported across the planet by around 20,000 weather stations is invalid due to corruption from non-climatic data.11

In reality, Earth is currently cool compared to its geological history and all human existence. Water Vapor overwhelmingly dominates other greenhouse gasses:
