The True Cause of Climate Change is DEFORESTATION
The idea that climate change is the result of carbon dioxide emissions is a convenient lie. Blaming CO2 gives the global elite the pretext to tax and regulate it. And everything we do, including breathing, releases CO2, so it's a great lever if you're looking for power.
But what's the real truth?
When I was in my teens I was in Air Cadets, and that involved studying meteorology: the science of weather. Now, meteorology is not a theoretical science, it's used everyday by pilots to safely guide aircraft to their destinations, so I put a lot more weight on meteorology than I put on the theories and computer models of "climate scientists", whose predictions have routinely been proven false.
The central factor in meteorology is surface features, clouds form and dissipate in predictable ways based on the way sunlight interacts with the surface of the planet. Some surfaces heat up in the sun, like grasslands, pavement or plowed fields, and those hot surfaces heat the air, creating rising columns of hot air known as thermals. Other surfaces don't heat up in the sun, like bodies of water, swamps and forests.
And it doesn't take a scientist to notice it, anyone who's been for a walk on a summer day knows that it's a lot cooler in the forest than it is in a field.
When you consider how profoundly trees impact surface temperatures (the image above shows a >40 degree difference between shaded and unshaded ground), the impact of large scale deforestation on climate should be clear. It's massive. So how badly deforested is the earth today?
The above picture doesn't really do the situation justice, because the forests that remain are riddled with clear cuts.
When you understand how much trees impact temperature and how large the scale of deforestation is, it's no surprise that it's altered the climate. If anything, it's surprising that it hasn't altered the climate more.
But the impact of deforestation goes well beyond climate, habitat loss is the central factor that is causing species die off.
So, if you want to save the natural world, turn your attention to deforestation, because that's where the fight will be won or lost.

Excellent work!
Thanks Greg! I really appreciate you taking the time to check this out and resteem it. Hopefully this concept will gain traction out there, because it's really important that people know the truth. It's frankly painful to know what I know, and to see the situation being so badly misrepresented in the public consciousness. The natural world is being lost to the chainsaw while people argue over carbon taxes. It's tragic.

This makes total sense! I have a degree in forestry and nature management and can inform you similar disruptions occur in the water cycle as well by cutting all the trees ( which as you explain, again reinforces the effect on temperature making it even worse). Keep up the good work!
