I am all for a better environment, less pollution, but the current CO2 mania is clearly driven by a different agenda.
Yes. AOC and others are coming out of the closet:

In the book I mentioned, the hidden agenda is clearly explained; Tim Ball has also been on the receiving end of incoming; the Wikipedia page about him claims he is a ‘denier’, nothing could be further from the truth if you have read his book. This whole climate thing is since long a religious war, no longer science. You either agree with them or they will break you. No room for academic dissent.

Please look at the attached chart for the emissions/intake of CO2 on the planet.
CO2 balance sheet
Can you provide a source for that chart?
On the other hand, if NO GHG would be present, the average temperature on the planet would drop by about 33°C. Life would only be possible at the equator and only just.
That is likely true (I haven’t bothered to check) but completely irrelevant. It’s like saying you can’t get fat by eating too much simply because you will die if you don’t eat!
Well a CO2 concentration below 150 ppm will kill plant life.

OK, so you read one book, everything is there and now you know it. Great, now you have a lot of free time for other activities. You could go for a Bible or any other similar book – they also have all answers in one book.

I’ve never heard about religion which collects data, analyses it and then comes with some conclusion.

Yes, secret and super-powerful green forces will track you down and eliminate if you’re against them 
How come that we don’t see much of these in reality and how come that they haven’t shutdown all farms producing enormous quantities of methane?
Having been a pilot for 53 years, having spent a portion of my professional career in the met office, I am more than a bit interested in what others have to say about ‘climate change’.
The climate has been changing since day one of the planet. The sun activity, clouds (water vapour + CO2 = GHG), temperature of the oceans, albedo of the planet, all play a major part.
Humans are mainly responsible for pollution, not climate.
There is also an warming effect where many observation stations are now in a built-in area where only 50 years ago there was still open space (urban island effect).
We all want clean air and water, some climate science is now misused for political reasons.

I wonder what this “political reason” is, given that a wide spectrum of politicians see AGW as a serious threat. I mean, there is something very strange with a “political reason” that unites e.g. US democrats and European communists!
