Global Warming Research Gregory Wrightstone, Geologist January 27, 2021 A geologist with more than 35 years of studying the Earth's processes, Gregory Wrightstone has presented his research results around the world, including India, Ireland, and China. In the first half, he discussed his quest for the truth about climate change and historical evidence of how the Earth's population has responded to ice ages as well as warming periods. He disputes the idea of man-made catastrophic warming, arguing that the proponents of this concept often only look back at the last 50-150 years. "As a geologist, I look at the many thousands or millions of years of Earth's history" to put things in perspective, he noted. He concedes that the greenhouse gas C02 is increasing due to the burning of fossil fuels and does cause some atmospheric warming. However, he contends that this is a very modest effect and "is greatly overwhelmed by the same natural forces that have been driving temperatures since the dawn of time." We are in a period of temperature increase, but the situation is not dire-- rather, it is "leading to an Earth that's thriving, that's greening, that's prospering," he asserted, and humanity is benefiting from this. Sea level is rising, but that is natural during a warming period and related to retreating glaciers, which began in the 19th century, he continued. Wrightstone was also critical of non-fossil fuel energy sources like electric, citing their dependence on cobalt (used in lithium batteries), which is reportedly mined by forced child labor in the Congo.
