The UN Disarmament Handbook says, "Disarmament is especially important for climate protection." I can't find that claim in any weather or climate text book, but current data shows that the earth has been cooling for the last 7 years, even though guns and CO2 are increasing. This amazing "climate protection" claim will be discussed at the Gun Club (Jan 19 at Savannah at 6 PM, and Jan 23 at Eisenhower at 5:30 PM).

Nuclear "was" the original intent, but has since gone far beyond. UNODA, which helped draft the Disarmament Handbook says this ... “The branch {UNODA} is the lead agency of the Coordinating Action on Small Arms (CASA) mechanism, which was established by the Secretary-General in 1998 to harmonize policy and coordinate action by the various UN agencies working in this field.” Note the "small arms" phrase. The talk will show related gun/climate UN agendas.

I suppose anything that creates carbon/greenhouse could be included. Guns would when they are manufactured, and when a round is fired

But to single out guns is silly. Everything produces carbon/greenhouse as it is created, some may or may not as they are used. All organic matter creates carbon/greenhouse gas as it decays, and I suppose a gun would as it rusts, or if it is melted down to create something else.

Climate change makes me think of the "elixir salesman" as he would go from town to town. His pitch was his elixir would cure everything, regardless of what it was. Climate change is the current "cure-all" product. Another word for such a product is snake oil.

Which is kind of what climate change is.

That sculpture is about the murder of John Lennon.

This sculpture is called “the knotted gun” located outside the United Nations headquarters. It was designed by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reutersward as a tribute to his friend John Lennon after he was shot and killed in New York in 1980. John Lennon was an advocate of peace which was evident in the lyrics of many of his songs both with The Beatles as well as with his wife Yoko Ono.

If you mean things like gun runners making profit by wars in various places and the United Nations attempts to control that trade. Small arms are involved. Has nothing to do with global warming though. I suppose it kills farmers and others who could have be doing something to improve the environment by planting things that put beneficial gases into the atmosphere. A lot of the wars involved the use of edged weapons.

Believe it or not, the EPA (another climate alarmist agency) detected CO2 and Methane emissions from bullets. Now folks are claiming climate harm from target practice. But, in reality, if those teeny-weeny emissions are indeed affecting the climate -- it's in a good way because more warmth and more CO2 is desirable for a healthier planet. Unfortunately, they are not helping enough because the earth has been cooling for the past 7 years.

Heating up for the last 8 years???? It's been heating up for the last 23,000 years. And it will continue to heat up for another 20-25,000 years. And guess what---it happened without any help from humans. But it's OK, in 25,000 years it will start cooling again so that 50,000 years from now NY City will again be under 2 miles of ice. And the same people (well, actually their descendants) will be complaining that snowmobile emissions cause global warming.

ORDINARY guns will NOT affect weather, but a full-out nuclear war will. Scientists take about a nuclear winter after WW3......that would be some serious Climate Change. I worry that there has been so many apocalypse-type movies and series lately that maybe that is giving a prediction that I HOPE never comes true.
But, the recent war in the Ukraine has caused some problems that could affect Global Warming somewhat. There are or were (may have been plugged) 3 holes in a natural gas pipeline lying at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. It sent Russian natural gas to Europe. The pipe was in VERY deep water and probably needed a special submarine to blow those 3 holes. Russia was suspected of doing it itself to drive up the world price for natural gas.
........Anyway, the 3 holes were (or still are) GUSHING gas that rises to the upper atmosphere and adds to the blanket that IS making the world hotter by record amounts in the last 8 years. (Despite the opinion to the contrary expressed by my friends with the fashionable TIN-FOIL hats !!!!!!! )

One BIG problem with Global Warming today is that it causes farmers and other poor populations in South America and Africa to start starving and begin MIGRATING northward into America and Europe. If they succeed in getting there they will INCREASE their environmental FOOTPRINT greatly - producing GREATER pollution, which AGAIN goes up to the upper atmosphere and acts as a BLANKET holding in the Earth's heat. It is sad from a humanitarian perspective, but don't blame me.......I am just the messenger.

Until the common population is unarmed, the government can't control them. Therefore, the government can't adjust history or make people believe what the government says.

See if you can find the Ministries of Truth and Love budding in today's world.

Just yesterday Oliver Stone spoke at Davos about the REAL practical SAFETY of nuclear power plants. The oil and gas industries have spent a lot of MONEY to convince people that nuclear plants are dangerous. Stone said that the new-generation nuclear power plants are safe.
One fact that many people are NOT aware of is that natural gas has tons of leaks in the US and other countries from the pipes that are bringing the natural gas from a field source to a customer's home. Gas pipes and appliances EXPLODE often and they are hurting the upper atmosphere. Those problems MAY be WAY greater than risks from the new generation nuclear electric plants. Google Oliver Stone at Davos.

Pigs and humans are omnivores. Sheep and cows are strictly herbivores. I know that cows have 2 separate stomachs that somehow cause them to outgas more gas than humans. And I believe the cow's flatulence has more of the gas variety that is detrimental to the upper atmosphere.

Anything the UN says about the climate is backwards -- junk science. They can say the "hole" is healing, because it's now "summer" at the South Pole when the sun shines constantly. Guess what, the sun creates ozone. During each winter season, the sun don't shine down there, and the hole comes back. The sun creates ozone, and lack of sun destroys ozone. That's the science.

I just remembered something about this deep intellectual discussion concerning cow flatulence causing large amounts of polluting gas that become a BIG problem because they end up as a blanket in the upper atmosphere and therefore affect Global Warming. Now how MUCH that effect is would require me to go ask Mr. Google, which I have been trying to avoid? What I remembered is that the problem gases emitted from cattle do NOT come from the rear end, but rather from the FRONT end, in the form of BURPS.
........So the way I understand it (just from memory and not recently) is that basically, cattle BURPS are WARMING the planet. Now I know that sounds crazy and if enough people challenge my memory (very imperfect at my advancing age) I WILL be forced to ask Mr. Google.

Greenhouse gases do not trap heat. They first absorb heat and then immediately radiate it back out. It just slows down heat's escape to outer space. Plus, the earth has been cooling for the past 7 years -- so CO2 seems to be underperforming. We need to create more CO2.

STILL with this ridiculous assertion???

OK then, let's take a look at it using the data YOU provided.

First your graph. Yep, there is a horizontal line that is higher on the left than it is on the right showing a decreasing trend. No argument there. But the line is an Excel feature based on the data points and when you look at them the decrease isn't quite as obvious. Sure, the 2022 point is lower than the 2016 point but the 2022 point shows an increase over last year and an overall increase over 2015 start of the period.

Then why does Excel show a decreasing trend? Because the 2016 point is significantly higher than it's neighbors. If you cherry-pick a starting point then you can often show whatever you want. What is MOST interesting about this, and quite ironic, is that the cooling trend you are so excited about only exists because of an extremely warm year!

Now on to the second graph where I "cherry-picked" a point 23 years ago. (If you don't like 22 then pick 50 or 10 or 17 or 42 or whatever number you like greater than 7) On this graph there is a horizontal(ish) line that is lower on the left and higher on the right showing a warming trend. What we can also see in this graph is that except for four extremely warm years, 2022 was the warmest in the last 23 years. If you remove the 2022 data then 2021 was the warmest in the last 22 years.

This is *your* chosen data just not your chosen starting point.

Of course, none of this speaks to whether man has anything to do with the warming. This only shows that the cooling trend that you continue to assert does not exist or rather, it exists only because of a set of unusually warm years.

Agreed.....using data to reverse a normal conclusion that the Y2K space laser people don't like so they present misleading data as proof of their INVERTED conclusion. The BIG question in my mind IS WHY are they doing it? Where is the motivation to draw a BACKWARDS conclusion about the direction of HEATING in the earth's weather / climate.

Correct. For the past 300+ years we have been warming as we have been thawing out from the Little Ice Age. That Little Ice Age "cooling" and now Modern Age "warming" cycle is being controlled by the Bray and Eddy solar cycles -- which are maxing out. We are in a tipping era. At the same time, the Feynman and deVries sunspot cycles are in a cooling trend. It's just a matter of time before significant cooling begins. The question is ... is this current 7-year cooling trend that tipping point. Let's see where the 8th year trend takes us.

Exactly.. My dad had about 120 cows and fed out about 100 steers yearly, first on rye grass and then on grain. I also never heard or smelled a cow fart. Went to a lot of sales barns where 100s of cows were sold, and same there. But, I have heard dogs fart like crazy. Maybe we need to get rid of the pet. Not really but see where this goes. People need to quit worrying over something they can do nothing about.
OK, but logically, cattle eat grass, cattle are BIG.....so they MUST have some method for turning grass into protein for their huge bodies. So they have to munch a lot of grass and sent that through their 2 or 4 stomach compartments. Somehow that IS producing large quantities of METHANE and it must come out of one or the other end of the cattle. I seem to remember reading something about them BURPING.

The don't "sell" a magazine... Their magazine is a perk, included in your membership fees...

The NRA is the premier "Gun Safety Organization" in the country.

If you take a concealed carry class, or need a class to get any sort of gun license, it's a sure bet you're taking an NRA certified course, taught by an NRA certified instructor...

The NRA exists to promote hunter safety, and to promote and defend hunting as a shooting sport and as a viable and necessary method of fostering the propagation, growth and conservation, and wise use of our renewable wildlife resources."Everyone knows that"...
And of course, we need BUMP STOPS and silencers and military-style rifles to shoot quail and Bambies. The NRA WAS, I repeat WAS a great hunting magazine and association devoted to sportsmen, hunting, and outdoor activities before about 1970. All Good until................after about 1970 or 80 when people all live in cities and in the suburbs and they started to NOT want to shoot a turkey on Thanksgiving or go hunting in deer season. So........with FEWER people hunting the Arms manufacturers were getting less profits. Then they got the NRA to push paintball and propaganda about soldiers of fortune and the military. The gun magazines barely covered normal guns like bolt actions and double-barreled shotguns. It became all about silencers and semi-autos and MAN-killing guns and NOT animal-killing guns.
.....Personally, my last membership in the NRA was about 1970 and I became more interested in BOW hunting - there was more challenge involved and longer seasons, because for me it was more about walking around nature than killing animals anyway. Personally, I never owned a MAN-KILLING GUN and I never would. I refused to shoot at targets if there was an IMAGE of a man on it. I would ONLY shoot at bullseye-type targets!

Actually, your drive is "much" less. With the "significant"(:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:) rise in ocean levels of 3.9 mm, and assuming a 3% grade as the beach meets the sea, you now have to drive 0.073 mm less. The reduced consumption of gasoline to drive that much less should warm the cockles of the heart of the global warming alarmists.

A silencer/suppressor are the same thing. You cannot just walk into a gun shop and buy one over the counter. You have to fill out forms, provide a picture of yourself and fingerprint cards, then submit them to the ATF for approval to own one. This involves a background check and a very lengthy waiting time for approval. The same procedure if a person wants to obtain a tax stamp to buy a legal machine gun. Silencers/suppressors are not cheap. The cheapest one I've seen was for a .22 long rifle firearm and was in the neighborhood of $300. Larger caliber suppressors can cost as much as a couple thousand. Most gun owners can't or won't pay that much for one.

Every firearm, a gun that uses gun powder to propel a projectile, will kill a person. Even an air rifle can kill. Lewis and Clark had an air rifle that had a magazine capacity of 20 rounds. If I remember correctly they used it to kill a deer. Every firearm ever made has been used as a weapon of war at some time. Even the lowly .22 long rifle rimfire has been used by special operations operatives as an assassination weapon.

As far as converting a semi-auto firearm to full auto, it is difficult to do and get a functional automatic weapon. Not something the average individual can accomplish. It is just another anti-gun claim that is not true. You can mess with the sear and it will fire full auto but when you let off the trigger it will keep on shooting until the magazine is empty. Also semi-auto firearms are not built to handle full auto fire. It will eventually have a mechanical failure. I have heard of no court rulings legalizing new full automatic weapons. The gun control act of 1986 required all people who owned a machine gun to register it with the ATF by a certain date. After that date any machine gun that was not registered was illegal to own. The act also banned the manufacture of new automatic firearms for the general public. Naturally there is an exception for the military and law enforcement agencies. The guns registered in 1986 are the only ones that are legal to own.

Bump stocks are a joke. You cannot accurately shoot a firearm with that stock. Take some time and watch YouTube videos of them being fired. Bullets go all over the place except where aimed. Go to a gun range and start shooting with one and you will be told to leave and never return. They are nothing but a range toy for the wannabe "Special Ops". Like the guys in the movie Wild Hogs.

The gun control act of 1986 required all people who owned a machine gun to register it with the ATF by a certain date. After that date any machine gun that was not registered was illegal to own. The act also banned the manufacture of new automatic firearms for the general public. Naturally there is an exception for the military and law enforcement agencies. The guns registered in 1986 are the only ones that are legal to own.

Bump stocks are a joke. You cannot accurately shoot a firearm with that stock. Take some time and watch YouTube videos of them being fired. Bullets go all over the place except where aimed. Go to a gun range and start shooting with one and you will be told to leave and never return. They are nothing but a range toy for the wannabe "Special Ops". Like the guys in the movie Wild Hogs.
Good informative post.....thanks.

That is what happens when you drive in circles. And sometimes that can happen with thought patterns........like about a thousand posts and an ugly 6th-grade graph.

There's nothing circular about a linear trend line -- it's a straight line -- and it's going down -- in other words, it shows slight 7-year cooling. Here is another report showing similar results ... https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/10/05/the-new-pause-lengthens-to-8-years/

"No one has used a bump stock in a crime" HHHYYYYMMMMNNNN I will allow you to retract that statement.......remember the guy in Las Vegas that rained down DEATH on about 50 innocent people. HE used various guns........one WAS a bump-stock. Apology accepted in advance. Thank me very much !!!!!!!

Okay, ONE was a bump stock... You got me... Whoopdee freakin doo...

And why are you singing a "Hymn"?
