RE: BLM wells for CO2 Carbon sequestration project

Dear Eric

Just a comment on the BLM meeting to be held October 12; I doubt if any objections will stop the eventual plan, however this is an ill advised idea based totally on political construct to sequester money and power and not on science. Scientists who have looked at the climate change claim by the likes of Al Gore, Pres Obama, Biden and others have pronounced the claim as completely false.

First the IPCC doctored their computer program to make it appear that global warming was caused by anthropomorphic emissions. (Remember the predictions of Ocean rising and covering costal cities?) Then when that did not happen, They changed the plan to an existential threat to the entire earth and named it ‘climate change’.

A little study will show that the ‘Club of Rome’ determined in 1991, that to control the world we needed crisis after crisis; threats for which the Government planners would provide the solution. You can fit all the alarmist predictions in the last 30 years into that plan.

Patrick Moore, the co-founder of GREENPEACE, quit the organization when it went into political indoctrination instead of truly cleaning up the planet. He states that the climate change is a complete lie. There are over 1,600 true scientists who have joined in the WORLD CLIMATE DECLARATION which states that there is no climate crisis.

I doubt if protests will result in the BLM stopping the sequestration project, but at least we can remind them that all they are doing is consolidating power and spending money with no possibility that they will change the weather. Plus spewing more of that dangerous carbon into the air when they use diesel fuel to drill the wells, build the roads, drive their vehicles to Carter County, etc.

Carbon dioxide is the basis for life. We learned in highschool that the atmosphere was made up of around 78% Nitrogen; 21% Oxygen leaving only 1% for other gases. Of that 1% most (60%?) is Argon leaving only much less than 1% for all the other gases including CO2. Then the climate alarmists use the parts-per-million (PPM) to make it sound like there is a real threat. (Statements like ‘CO2 has increased from 350 PPM to 400 PPM’- Nancy Pelosi !! 50 million increase! “The most common greenhouse gas’ - Eagle last week!). That means that 35% of 1% of CO2 has increased to 40% of 1%.

Lets try to get the BLM to at least admit that all they are doing is spending our hard earned taxpayer money.

Sincerely, Richard O. Harkins
