Abstract
Global warming has been elevated to a religious icon of the devil. This allows us to blame all and sundry on the devil, feel
righteous and do nothing useful. Billions of dollars are being spent annually on the so called global warming problem,
politicians are carrying on about it endlessly, spending taxpayers money, based on their uneducated understanding of the
problem, industry is exploiting the emotional aspects for the benefit of their shareholders and scientists are playing with large
numerical simulations, of dubious usefulness, like kids with new toys. It is time to take stock and put into focus the nature of
the threat that is real under a business as usual scenario. I will start with explaining why the interglacial periodicity is 100,000
years, a new result that seems to have escaped attention. This understanding opens the way for a simple quantification of the
effect of greenhouse gases and a synthesis of solutions to the, so called, global warming threat. I will use Western Australia as
an example, of how the world could become carbon neutral, almost overnight, prosper economically and protect it biodiversity.
The only question, in my own mind is, whether we have the courage to change course and not just follow our tribal leaders
blindly into extinction!
