RUSH: Here\u2019s Peter in Rancho Santa Fe, California. Great to have you with us. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. You spent much of the show on Wednesday talking about the left\u2019s focus on climate change<\/a>, and I\u2019ve got a few comments with statistics for you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sure.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Just by way of background, I have a PhD in two scientific disciplines. I really have five quick points. First, the planet is four billion years old. Anybody who\u2019s taken a geology course can tell you that the climate has been changing for four billion years and it will continue to change for four billion years. The earth has evolved as the climate has continuously changed, and it\u2019s preposterous to think that man in the last hundred years has changed the rate of climate change. Second, some stats on the atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen make up 98%. Carbon dioxide makes up .04%.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m so glad you said that. I am so glad you mentioned that. That\u2019s such a bogus thing that they\u2019re trying to convince people —<\/p>\n

CALLER: It is. It is including the fact that, third, the Ice Age has occurred when CO2 levels were 10 times what they are today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: How is that possible? There weren\u2019t any emission-producing cars or smokestacks.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct. Fourth, rising temperatures since the end of the last mini-Ice Age in 1800, precede rising CO2 levels. And then lastly, there\u2019s only one parameter that correlates with warming periods, and that\u2019s solar activity. Sunspots.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but they don\u2019t even permit that as part of the equation when you talk to \u2019em. “Oh, you can\u2019t talk about the sun!” You\u2019re absolutely right, Peter, about every bit of this. Every bit of it. Yet it would meet with a thunk if you told your average college student climate change activist because to them, it\u2019s not even about any of this. It\u2019s just purely left-wing political politics and so forth. Peter, thanks for the call. That was so… (chuckling) The climate has been changing for four billion years. It\u2019s changing today. It\u2019s changing tomorrow. It\u2019s been changing long before we even occupied the planet. How can that be?<\/p>\n
