While we are watching the 21st episode of the Clowns on Parade series (COP21), we should remind the leading participants of a couple of facts that even a clown apprentice can understand. The US, Western Europe, Canada, and Australia (the only countries in the world that engage in the climate masochism) release less than one-third of the anthropogenic CO 2 , an even smaller part of other “greenhouse gases” (a misleading name), and almost no black soot. This fact is not in dispute, but the alarmists usually reply that these countries are “historically responsible” for the most CO 2 emissions.

Well, this claim is incorrect, too, and not only because CO 2 release is beneficial because of its large fertilization effect and small and slow warming effect. When the sinks are properly taken into account, only 33% of the surplus CO 2 in the atmosphere is attributable to the US and other Western countries. The rest is attributable to China and the rest of the world, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Surplus CO 2 attribution by country or group of countries, 2012.

Country or group of countries Surplus CO2 attribution USA 20% Western Europe 10% Canada + Australia 3% China 15% Rest of the World 51%

The clowns are only the delegations of the western countries, and those who spend their own money and time on worries over CO 2 . Many other national delegations who are visiting COP21 in Paris are simply there to protect their nations from this progressive madness. On the other hand, a majority of NGOs and activists going there are simply profiteers and haters.

UNEP, Greenpeace, WWF, UNFCCC, IPCC, and their collaborators are foisting upon the world an international conflict literally over hot air. “Climate change” is not a threat, the climatism is the threat.

The CO2 attribution analysis (revised on 12/13/2015) uses IPCC data and methodology.
