I have written extensively about “climate change,” and the question is not so much if the global temperature is gradually rising, but why the global temperature is rising. It is possible that the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is a contributing factor, but the largest percentage of temperature increase is most likely cyclical. Clearly, there are statist political agendas that are endeavoring to centralize economic control under the pretext of preventing all manner of climate disasters. But the fact is, the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is also having a positive impact on the planet, known as “planetary greening.” This is an interesting video highlighting some of those benefits.
