Did Westernkind Prevent a Mass Extinction?

The climate alarmists and antiwhites don't want you to read this...

The fearmongering is inescapable. The news media incessantly talks about global warming and climate change, and seems to link every negative event to it, from forest fires to extreme weather. Governments implement endless policies to ‘fight’ climate change, such as taxes on carbon output and subsidies for alternative energy technologies. Even oil companies have gotten onboard, promising to become as ‘green’ as possible.

However, what’s more ‘green’ than burning coal, oil, and gas? The burning of these substances can be directly linked to the greening of Earth in recent decades. Coal, oil, and gas are effectively identical chemically. They are all hydrocarbons, meaning they consist of bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. The primary difference between coal, oil, and gas is the size of molecules. The simplest hydrocarbon, methane, is one carbon atom bonded with four hydrogen atoms. As you add more carbon and hydrogen atoms, the molecules become heavier, and start to transition from gasses to liquids (oil) and solids (coal).

What happens when a hydrocarbon is burned? The hydrogen combines with oxygen to create water, a critical component to life. The carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, which is critical to the process of photosynthesis in plants. These two outputs hardly seem scary to me. Oh, but that carbon dioxide is going to result in catastrophic warming of the planet…right?

Let’s look at the past 570 million years of Earth’s history and see how strong the correlation is between carbon dioxide levels (purple line) and temperature (aqua line). It looks like a pretty weak correlation to me. Also, notice how present-day temperatures are close to the coldest they’ve been in the past 570 million years. It’s been about 290 million years since the Earth was this cold!

The dominant narrative would have you believe it’s too warm and we have to prevent further warming. In fact, we’re still in an ice age. The Holocene is just a name scientists have given to the current interglacial period (a relatively warm period) within the ice age. There have been about a dozen interglacial periods during the past 1 million years, which are followed by glacial periods, in which the temperature drops and the glaciers advance. We have been in this interglacial period for about 12,000 years now, and past interglacial periods rarely lasted longer than that. Odds are good that we’re about to enter a period of thousands of years of gradual cooling…not warming!

With all of that out of the way, let’s get back to the title of this article. Did Westernkind prevent a mass extinction? We first need to know what would have caused this mass extinction: critically low carbon dioxide levels. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have generally been dropping for the past 150 million years, and in all likelihood, they would have continued to drop until plants were unable to continue the process of photosynthesis. During the last glacial maximum 20,000 years ago, carbon dioxide levels dropped down to 180 parts-per-million (ppm). Plants start to lose the ability to photosynthesize at around 150 ppm.

In other words, we were dangerously close to seeing a mass extinction of plants, which would have caused most other species to go extinct due to their dependence on plants. This mass extinction might have occurred about 3 million years from now if not for the burning of hydrocarbons and cement production.

If Westernkind had not pioneered the use of coal, oil, and gas, this mass extinction event likely would have occurred. Westernkind designed and manufactured the trains, ships, cars, planes, spacecraft, and power plants that required hydrocarbons as fuel. They determined means of discovering, extracting, refining, and transporting oil and gas.

The false climate narrative has been part of the antiwhite narrative used to demonize Westernkind for decades. With this article clearly invalidating the narrative that carbon dioxide emissions have caused or will cause catastrophic climate change, the antiwhites have one less false narrative to push. Westernkind should not only be appreciated for their pioneering of the Industrial Revolution, but for their role in preventing a mass extinction.

Plants would thrive in carbon dioxide levels of 1000 ppm or more. If anything, there should be fearmongering about how the current 400 ppm carbon dioxide level is still quite low. Carbon dioxide levels have been falling gradually for the past 150 million years due to 1) various species using it to make shells, which fall to the ocean floor and eventually become limestone, and 2) organic matter being buried over time and becoming coal, oil, and gas. These two processes will continue for as long as life exists on Earth, so for the sake of preventing a mass extinction, we should continue to burn hydrocarbons and make cement from limestone until carbon dioxide levels are at least 1000 ppm.

We must put an end to the foolish carbon sequestration efforts and ‘net zero’ campaigns being encouraged and pursued today. They are harmful from both an economic and environmental perspective. The media, academia, and governments could be responsible for millions of deaths in the near future if they continue to demonize and restrict the use and production of hydrocarbons.

Westernkind

The term Westernkind, meaning the race of man that creates Western Civilization, was coined by Jason Köhne in his book Go Free: A Guide to Aligning with the Archetype of Westernkind.
