Phil Drietz letter: Global warming is simply fake science

This is a response to the March 22, 2025 letter protesting the Environmental Protecton Agency’s taking; “a huge step backward for climate action.”

In my Nov. 30, 2024 letter, I stated that “Man-made global warming is fake science.”

Here’s some additional reasoning:

In April 2023, AAAS Science reported that high-resolution satellites had recently found more than 19,000 new under-sea volcanoes, bringing the total to over 43,000, of which only about 16,000 have been charted by ship and submarine sonar. So, we really don’t have a good handle on total carbon dioxide pumped into the ocean. And how do you measure the carbon-dioxide tonnage coming off of the tens of thousands of under-sea volcanoes? A lot of that CO2 will be released into the atmosphere, depending on the variability of ocean water temperature.

Along with carbon dioxide, these volcanoes and the 40,000 miles of mid-ocean mountain ridges pump enormous amounts of heat into the ocean; we don’t have a good handle on that quantity either. All that hot water is being moved by ocean currents, but all those mountains create vortices that shift water in directions we don’t fully understand — and that can have an enormous effect on global climate.

Global warming, also known as climate change, is driven by under-sea volcanoes; hot, 40,000-mile-long mid-ocean mountain ridges and rifts; ocean currents; and the amount of sunlight penetrating Earth’s surface.

Man’s puny 0.0016% of the total atmospheric gases is a non-player.

Building additional transmission lines to shut down the Becker coal plant will have zero effect on climate. Building battery backup units for energy storage is not necessary when you already have massive, reliable energy storage in place — that big pile of coal sitting next to the power plant.

The whole ‘Green Deal’ movement is just another way to pick the pockets of taxpayers and ratepayers.
