Hot, cold, wet, dry, sunny, clear, snow, no snow – it doesn’t matter, it’s caused by global warming, the climate alarmists tell us over and again. Their desperation is palpable, the cords that keep them tethered to reality fraying more than ever, their charade coming apart.
For more than 30 years, the crisis peddlers have carried the narrative that man’s carbon dioxide emissions are creating an existential threat. They’ve cajoled, bullied, lied, deceived, screeched and burned an immense volume of fossil fuels to get their hard-left agenda codified and executive ordered, and they have some successes to refer to. But their efforts have been, and always will be, useless.

We are more likely to be moving toward another ice age than have any significant increase in global temperature.

Yes, I recall "The Coming New Ice Age" and "Population Bomb" scares back in tbe 60s and 70s. They were duds so a new bogey man was needed. Our "leaders" create fears then convince us that they are the only ones who can save us. Otherwise we would not need to elect them. Man Made Climate Change!! and Russia, Russia, Putin, Russia!!!! have supplied thise fears for decades.Over those decades the scares have been prefaced with the indeterminates of could, may, might...and the doomsday timeline never definate but always extended -from 1990 to 2000 to 2020 to 2050. And the solution is always punishment for the masses but not for the oracles.

Folks - - I've posted this before - - but it's important enough to post again.
Don't believe any of the "global temperature" stories - - none of them - - not even the "good" ones like this.
It's impossible - - completely and totally - - to measure global temperature with any degree of statistically-reliable accuracy. The kind of accuracy reuired - - to within 1/50th of a degree - - to make reliable projections. Thes "experts" don't know - - and can't know - - what the "global temperature" is. It's just phony posturing and lies to make themselves seem important.
A "pause" in global temperature growth? Utter nonsense! No one can know or measure that.

For the last 50 years, not a single one of their doomsday predictions has actually come to pass. With a track record like that they need to just shut up and go away. If they were true believers, they would remove themselves from the planet, but this has never been about saving the planet; it has always been about socialism.

It's not about fact. It's all about fear. With fear the left can implement anything. There are people that believe them, you seen some of them. They're wearing masks. And there are others who believe themselves to be morally superior because they have gone " green ". People capable of critical thinking know a scam when they see one and " green " is the biggest scam ever. It all about money and power for them and control over us.
By the way , stamps have gone up 10% in the last year but there's no inflation. Forget about eggs.

Ask one of these alarmists - what's the ideal temperature of the earth? They have no answer.

Temperatures vary all over the Earth, within every country, city and even neighborhood. Right here where I live it was 7 deg. F. last week and will be 50 deg. F. today. Next week its back to cold. How can any govt. control what is happening.
What is the ideal temperature for every place at any given time? Every square meter of the Earth would have to be monitored 24/7/365. And that's only 30% of the land surface. What about the remaining 70% of the Earth's surface? What is the ideal temp of all the water at every location and depth?
One volcano eruption can change everything in a few hours and have years of lasting effects. Are these going to be controlled also, how, when. I need answers now and not computer generated estimates.

I live in the middle of liberal land California. Most people I have known and worked with are left wing. They will never change their mind about this. No matter what the evidence says. Liberals are brainwashed from what I observe.

Only Gd is omnipotent.
The green-meanies will try and try and try to be more omnipotent than Gd but will not succeed.
(But, yes, we should be good stewards of the earth.)

If you want to experience climatechange, just come to South Louisiana for one week. You'll get rain, drought, cold, hot, sunny, cloudy, stormy, a few hurricanes, flooding and even a chance for snow. Sometimes you can get it in a single day. We've lit the fire place in the morning, had the A/C on during the day, windows open in the late afternoon and the heater on for bedtime. That's normal for us and climate change for the rest of the country.

All of this bullsh** to scare braindead, indoctrinated, illiterate democrats. And, as they scream hysterically about oceans rising, Barack Hussein Obama has just built a 12 million dollar mansion on WATERFRONT property in Hawaii. Not only that, he has also installed a 2,000 gallon natural gas tank on the property. These hypocrites lead their lavish lifestyle while stealing taxpayer money in the name of climate change. You don't get any dumber than the democratic voter. Wake up.

It's never been about actual climate change, but about how they can use that topic to reduce the amount of pollution (air and water, mainly).
I'll also bet that nearly no public bonds for infrastructure projects near the Coast areas have anything to say about climate change or rising sea levels in their prospectus.
And, if their models are so accurate, why aren't they providing transparency?
Because they like spewing out the phrase, and then fooling people into paying more $$$, and growing government employee numbers, who then vote to keep the gravy training rolling.

The climate change agenda suffers from two scientifc fallacies that would doom any other theory before the presenter could finish the opening sentence. Were I as a scientis to present this kind of "evidence" and data in any other field I would be stdiously (and rightfully) ignored.
First, and most egregious, there is null hypothesis. A null hypothesis is essentially the control idea the testable and measureable question of what would happen should nothing disturb the system. Climate change is quite the opposite, the null hypothesis is both unmeasureable and un testable. The null hypothesis is what the result of the models predicts, which is also the result of the "experiments". there is no control dataset. Now this is a serious problem with studying such complex systems as an entire ecosystem. And a great deal of science is conducted under this no null hypothesis constraint but n those field it is completely understood that under our current understanding, no huge over all fully encompassing conclusions can be drawn. Those problems must be broken into much smaller pieces where controls can be defined and measureable data collected. Computer models do not [provide dataonly only conjecture, and conjecture plays little role in science.
Second problem is that there is no way to disprove the theory. Ask any supposed scientist waht data presently possible to collect would disprove the hypothesis? There is none, the only data that they would accept is 100 years of real time data that contradicts the model. thats is ridiculous because if we wait 100 years to collect that data and it does actually show no temperature increase they would either attribute the result to their interventions and say that it actually proves their hypothesis or they would trot out that old grant writing chestnut that the problem demands more study. Any theory that cannot be disproven is not a theory because it is untestable. There is simply no data that any climate "scientist" would ever accept that contradicts the theory. That is not science, that is faith.
There is a third problem, one even the IPPCC admits although they simply choose to ignore it. That is that the climate is a multivariable chaotic system. To the layman that just means it is complicated and difficult to understand. But the term is a scientific definition of the incredibly complex system that climate is and it has one huge implication. Scientifically, and mathmatically by definition, multi variable chaotic systems CANNOT be modeled. one of the defining attributes a chaotic system is that it is chaotic, unpredictable. In chaotic systems past data can be fitted to models because in any large data set patterns exist but those patterns themselves are random and do not have any predictive value. Think lottery numbers, whole books have been published analyzing trends in lottery numbers. But those past patterns cannot be used to reliably pick future random events. The climate is the same..

Come August and a heat wave the Democrats will scream global warming, global warming, GLOBAL WARMING...we need more government, more regulations, more diversity, more slime sex taught in schools, more gender surgery for teenagers, higher gasoline prices and $15 for a dozen eggs.

to #1:
If the past several dozen ice ages are any indication, then the only real climate certainty is that we are headed to another ice age...timing is uncertain, but it's on its way, and there's not a darn thing Greta Thornbutt can do about it.

To #6: you're comment is spot-on, because when fear is sufficiently stoked, change is mandated. The kind of change is not nearly so critical to the end game as simply change...any kind of change.
And change, whether it's mail-in ballots in response to a manufactured pandemic, a new world war in a country most people couldn't find on a map, or demonization of traditional energy in response to a manufactured climate crisis, means large sums of money being swapped around...and therein lies the opportunities that have made public servants like Biden/Pelosi/Schumer wealthy far beyond their meager govt compensation.

The answer is simple. Everyone must eat bugs and drive electric cars.
Pitch in, comrades.
