Opposite Directions

We were traveling
 in the same car,
 when, all of a sudden,
 our minds crashed into each other.

We both got out and started to run
 fast away from each other.

One of us wanted to run away from lies,
while the other one wanted to run away from truth.

But, Northern Arizona did have abundant rainfall in the Summer of 2022. Name the issue, and the media has been endlessly lying to you about it.

Driving through the Oklahoma Panhandle during the drought year of 2012. (Cell phone photo)

Before anything else, in the event that you are a beginner to atmospheric science and/or American geography, know this:  In the dry dry regions of the United States, namely in Arizona, Nevada, & Utah, there is actually a Monsoon season.   This is important to mention, being that certain unconscionable individuals obsessively claim that the American Southwest has been going through its worse drought in the past 1,200 years. 

In fact, they claim that Arizona has been in a drought for the past 22 years.  Well firstly, Arizona in 2022 actually was above-average in its Summertime rainfall.  And secondly, if Arizona were enduring a drought for that length of time, there would be nobody living in Arizona today.  It's interesting how liars are not any good at lying.  Take note:

This is additionally mentioned, because the media made the Year 2022 out to be a dry & heated start of the End of Humanity & Life on Earth.  Well, climate IS cyclical, and there was a return to drought conditions in Continental Europe.  But, it takes much more to bring about the End of the World.

None the less, in the Summer of 2022, Arizona's Lake Mead water level actually rose ... about 15 inches.  Moreover, record cold temperatures and cold persistence records occurred in the Year 2022, in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.  Concerning the year prior, Antarctica had its coldest winter in known history.  That was 2021.

Also needed to be mentioned is that, as far back as the Year 2014, the London Fire Brigade reported that the 610 square miles known as Greater London was now having half the fires it used to have in the 1980s & 1990s.  In fact, 2019 was the year of its least fires which was 17,993.  

This is mentioned, because the media claimed that the elevation of co2 levels caused more fires to be produced in the Greater London Area.  The opposite happened.  Fires decreased significantly.  Take note:

The Greater London Area has had years when it had over 50,000 fires; approximately eleven of the years since 1966.  In one year, back in the 1970s, Greater London had over 60,000 fires.  

One more introductory point:  In 1540-41 and in 1616 Europe had horrendous droughts.  This occurred when co2 levels were 281.3 ppm (1540) and 275.3 ppm (1616).  That amounts to 136 ppm and 142 ppm LOWER than today.  According to Al Gore and Michael Mann, those droughts were impossible.  But, the Central European hunger stones, in there etchings throughout the centuries, show otherwise.

Concerning the "hunger stones" that were recently found in central Europe, it proves that Climate is CYCLICAL.  This is because there are multiple etchings on those relatively large stones, with different dates on them.  This means that water levels in Europe decreased significantly multiple times, when the co2 levels were much much lower than they are today.  Each time the water level lowered significantly, someone would carve an etching at the lowered water line.  

Even the Year 1921 is etched on such a stone.  Those stone etchings are a climate record which proves that, in centuries past, lower water levels could occur, even in a climate low in atmospheric co2.  Thus, co2 alone does NOT cause droughts.

New Mexico, at the southern edge of the Rockies.  Technically, this is the Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Scientists and archeologists have repeatedly conjectured the existence of a 150 year mega-drought in the American West, starting in the final century of the Medieval Warm Period.   In confirmed specificity, (via tree ring analysis), there was a Great North American Drought which occurred between 1276 & 1299 C.E.  

This occurred long before the invention of the gasoline engine, when co2 levels were notably lower than they are today.   This shows that the Medieval Warm Period WAS a global event occurring in more than one Hemisphere, and not merely something limited to Northern Europe.

For the record, the Medieval Warm Period endured from circa 800AD to 1348AD.  In addition, the Mini Ice Age which followed endured from 1348AD to circa 1850AD.  

The precursor to the Mini Ice Age can be regarded as 1280, when the Wolf Minimum came into being.  But, the beginning of the Black Death was regarded as the starting point of the Mini Ice Age.  

The depth of the Mini Ice Age, as far as goes the least amount of Sunspots generated, was between 1645 and 1710.  Yet, cold conditions, mingled with summertime heat waves and even droughts, ensued into the early 19th Century.  

The Mini Ice Age is regarded as having ended with the Irish Potato Famine.  Well, it would have ended directly before the famine.  This is because the Irish Potato famine was the result of too much water and warmer than usual temperatures which became a breeding ground for the phytophthora infestans fungus.  

None the less, if that famine ... that "blight infestation"... would have happened this year, the media throughout the world would have blamed it on co2 levels and the "burning of fossil fuels."  Yet, the co2 level in 1847 was 284.7 ppm.  That's 133 ppm LESS than today.

Despite the scientific discovery of a great Medieval drought in America, it was in 2014 when NASA released the details of a study which found that the Drought of 1934 was the worst one in a thousand years.  That drought encompassed 71.6% percent of the western North American land mass.  This is more than the land mass affected by the Drought of 2012, which encompassed 59.7% of the same geographic area in general.  

In 1934, during the worst drought in 1,000 years, the atmospheric co2 level was 309 ppm.  That was 109 ppm LESS than it is today.  In all that is statistically being shown to you, you would had to have been brainwashed by public school teachers to deny that Al Gore spoke falsehood each time he said that a rise in co2 automatically results in a rise in temperature ... and drought ... and hurricanes ... and tornadoes ... and sea level rise ... and whatever else he mentioned.

None the less, the second most severe drought in America, as recognized by scientists, was the one of 1580, when co2 levels were significantly lower than in 1934 ... and today ... when the invention of the combustible engine was 310 years away.

See: NASA Study finds that the worst drought in the past 1,000 years was in 1934

Also See: The Worst Drought in a Thousand Years

Historical Palmer Drought Indices | Temperature, Precipitation, and ...
May 1934 was only the beginning of it all.  Summertime was yet to come.

The media deception employed today is to deceive the public into believing that no heat wave or drought in the past thousand years comes close to the one of 2022.  This also diverts attention away from the fact that, the year prior, Antarctica underwent its COLDEST WINTER in known history.  

The drought of this Summer (2022) extended thus far to 39.8% of the US.  The droughts of 1934, 1580, and 2012 have got it beat.  Plus, 1954 was a year of severe drought, as was 1936, not to mention the trio of 1988, 1989, & 1990.  There is also a drought list of centuries prior.  All in all, the United States government officially asserts that "Drought is a normal climate pattern that has occurred in varying degrees of length, severity, and size throughout history."

The exact same United States government declared that:

"Tree ring archives indicate that agricultural droughts such as those that happened in the United States during the 1930s Dust Bowl era have occurred occasionally over the last 1,000 years, and climate model simulations suggest that droughts that may last several years to even decades OCCUR NATURALLY in the southwestern U.S."   (This negates Michael Mann's and David Attenborough's claim that the weather/climate of the past one thousand years was predominately benign and stable.)

This recognition of the American Southwest's natural drought potential also includes Southern California.  In fact, it includes what is properly regarded as the Leeward Side of California, as well as the Santa Ana Side, and as well as the Death Valley side of the state.  Therefore, Gavin Newsom was 100% lying to you, when he stated that co2 levels finally reached the stage where the Apocalypse came to California.  

The lack of "controlled burns" in California for consecutive decades caused the disastrous volume of burnt acreage, in recent years.  When you let massive acreage of fallen trees sit for decades, you create kindling wood that can easily torch forestland as easily as can gallons of gasoline.   Even at that, the forest fires of the 1920s, 1930s, & 1940s, in acreage burned, were far worse than the ones in the 21st Century ... the Century of Liars in Power.

  See:   US National Integrated Drought Information System 

The horror stories of present doomsday droughts have one huge folly which makes the scientists announcing the dreadful conditions look like the stereotypical high school ~nerds, ~dorks, ~dweebs, ~geeks, ~wedgy boys, ~swirly boys, etc.  And that is this ====>  No one in America is thirsting to death in societal quantities.  Bodies are not strewn throughout the lands, in heart-wrenching scenes.  Houses are not covered with windswept dust.

The other outrage is in claiming that certain victims of war are victims of Climate Change.  In as much, there is a difference between a drought refugee and a war refugee coming out of Adiabatic Heating deserts or 30th Parallel convection deserts.   Example, Syria does have a desert and has had it for a long while.

It then got to the point where large snowstorms & record colds were attributed to evil evil Climate Change.   Sometimes, it was done by misinterpreting "Lake Effect Snow."  At other times, subtropical low pressure systems were called the cause of such storms, in a delayed effect of moisture retention in the sky.  However, it does not work "that way" when the time delay goes from August to December.  This is because, according to NASA, a water molecule endures in the atmosphere for an average of nine days only.  Therefore, a heated August will NOT be the cause of heavy January snow.

April 28, 2024

Arizona & Nevada have Monsoons. Lake Mead rose. Vancouver froze.

Rain on Arizona's Interstate Highway 10, during the year of an alleged drought.
The Earth's lower Tropospheric temperature anomaly for July 2022 was +0.36C.  London had one day of 100+ degrees Fahrenheit and one day of 99F.  History repeated itself in France (though not as tragically as in 1911, 1976, and 2003).  In addition, secrets formerly hidden at the bottom outer edges of Lake Mead have been uncovered.

The commercial media put loud speakers in the minds of its viewers, telling everyone that, as of July 2022, the End of the World had started ... and its all your fault, for driving cars, riding buses, and using that clean energy known as natural gas.  So, the commercial media & the social media placed July 2022 in neon-lights and then proceeded to present it in a false light.

Question Number 1:  When Lake Mead was constructed, how many people lived in the Southwestern states of Nevada and Arizona?  How many were projected to live there, in future years?  So, how many more people came to use Lake Mead water, as the decades progressed?  It wasn't co2 consuming Lake Mead water, it was humans, their pets, their lawns, and their farmland.

Lake Mead is attached to an entire waterway circuit, where water could be redirected away from the path to Lake Mead to the path to  . . . Lake Powell.  Lake Powell water levels were getting too low, in 2022.  So, Lake Mead was put on hold.  Thus, it was NOT co2 that was consuming Lake Mead water.  It was Lake Powell doing so, along with the increased population serviced by Lake Mead.

The media's assignment was Lake Powell.  It concentrated on Lake Mead instead, for effect ... for theatrics ... for scaring people into submitting to the Al Gore man-made-co2 end-of-the-world tale.

This is NOT Southwest USA.  This is Northeast USA, and there's lots of water ... in lots of places.
Below is an example of the sleight-of-hand fraud, mingled with outright lies, that is now an ongoing enterprise in the commercial media and even in "social media:"

You could, if you wish, begin with the false light reporting of the Greater London Area and its fires by which it was claimed that the increase in atmospheric CO2 caused an increase in the number of and intensity of Greater London Area fires: 

Read (or look at the pictures):  Greater London's 610 sq mi range has been having almost half the fires of decades past, despite the continuous rise of co2 throughout the same number of decades.

Now for the Southwest of America Saga

Next, the two medias (commercial & social) have been declaring that the American Southwest is engaged in its worst drought in 1,200 years.  The same medias declared that the Southwest has been undergoing a drought for the past 20 years.  And of course, photos of the man-made Lake Mead have been repeatedly shown.   It's located in Arizona AND in Nevada.  So, it looks like mankind has finally reached the turning point in its existence, where it's now ushering in a massive "extinction event" with all this drought ... according to the two kingdoms of media.  Now for the truth:

{1} Did you know that Arizona has a Monsoon Season?  Well, it does, and throughout July 2022 (when the media was telling you that this is the hottest and driest Summer ever), Northern Arizona was having above average rainfall. 

{2} In addition, Nevada also has a Monsoon season.  In fact, the Las Vegas Monsoon season of 2022 was reported to have been its WETTEST Monsoon season since 2012.  Hey wait!  The Year 2012 was the year of the great drought.  How does Nevada get above average rain during a drought?  How does that work, again?

{3} Lake Mead's water level rose in the hot hot & dry dry Summer of 2022, due to repeated rains on a land that was reported to be in a 20 year drought.

Do you feel "lied to" yet?   If not, then look at the exhibit below and the articles linked below:

Now are you willing to accept that the media is run by liars?
See:  Las Vegas Summer of 2022 having wettest Monsoon season since 2012. 

Also see: Monsoon rain entering Las Vegas casinos, 2022

Here, too: 2022, Vegas' wettest Monsoon season in ten years.

And this one:    August 2022: Lake Mead water level rises.


Now, look at the thin lines above.  Each one represents a recent year's water level.  Two years ago was 2020, and 2020 had a healthy water level, as did 2019.  The Years 2017 & 2018 were fine, also.  So, where is this 20+ year long drought that happens to be the worst drought in 1,200 years?  For the record, NASA officially stated in 2014 that the worst drought in the past 1,000years was the one in 1934. Do you feel "lied to" about the endless climate doom, yet? 

It wasn't a matter of juggling numbers in a statistics circus.  It was a matter of omitting the numbers and facts of various regions throughout this globe.   After all, the media harped on "Global Warming" without including the whole globe into the conversation. 

None the less, when weather events occur which prove wrong the doomsday predictions of the Climate Change activists, the media simply puts a false slant on the event which disproved the Climate Doomsayers.  Example:  Instead of saying, "Oh the drought is over, at least for now," the reporters will say, "flash flooding," and/or "unstable rain," --- "rain on a land not suitable for rain" --- caused by the burning of fossil fuels.  

Below:  The water level of Hoover Dam's Lake Mead of an Apr 27, 2024.  Keep in mind that the mainstream media, in July of 2022, proclaimed the countdown to the parched end of humanity in the American Southwest.  This was followed by sudden replenishment of multiple dams throughout America.  The doom-ridden predictions of 2022 became yet more failed predictions by those who market fear and dread.
All in all, you have been told a book shelf worth of lies by the Climate Doomsayers.  They will use angle shots and isolation shots, etc to make the scene look like doomsday.  They will sound negative in every aspect.  

Example:  Utah has Monsoon season, too.  Utah has salt flats and Utah Monsoons will get its share of flash flooding.  So, to a Climate Change Doomsayer, if it doesn't rain in Utah, it's evil, and if it's rains there, it's evil.  Utah is simply a loss to a Climate Change Doomsayer.

This is actually New Mexico, being that I was never in Utah and have no photos of the place.  My mom lived in Utah for short while as a child, though.  Well, anyway  . . . 
They are, of course, the most asinine people in the history of mankind, because they claim that "going green" consists in diminishing the only molecular compound on Earth which triggers photosynthesis and the budding of Earth's greenery.

The truth is that, if you want to "go green," you must first increase (or simply let be) the level of CO2 in your atmosphere.  The only thing that makes anything go green is CO2.  Yet, the Climate Activists are trying to rid CO2 from the planet.

This is equivalent to draining all the air out of your race car's tires, in the hopes that doing so will result in your victory.  This, ladies & gentlemen is a case study in Public Insanity which is actually a by-product of laziness & presumptive arrogance.

How green thou art.  Without CO2 this picture would never have been possible.  And quite frankly, you would have never been possible.  CO2 is the master key of photosynthesis which is the key to life on Earth.

More examples that disprove the media's claim that July 2022 was the hot & dry beginning of the End of the World:

One month prior to July 2022 was when the Tropics enjoyed the coolest June temperature anomaly in 22 years.  Yet, an American government agency reported that Planet Earth experienced its hottest June in human history.  Of course, this is instantaneously recognized as a lie, in light of the recently assessed Roman Warm Period proxy evidence, as well as the Minoan Warm Period findings of old.  

Then another U.S.government agency tuned-in, and reported that June 2022 was the SIXTH hottest June in the past 143 years, making things appear more believable.  

Oh, and let us not forget about the rooted Canadian tree stumps very near the Arctic Ocean, showing that the Arctic tree line was much closer to the Arctic shoreline in the past .  This means that the Arctic Past was much warmer than is the Arctic Present.

Canada experienced a cool Springtime in 2022, to the point of later experiencing record colds in Mid-May & Late May.  In fact, Vancouver had the coldest morning ever, in April of 2022.  

Yet, instead of highlighting the fact that Vancouver experienced a notable temperature anomaly of MINUS 1.5C in April, one of the headlines stated that Vancouver failed to break the all-time record for April, as if you were officially not allowed to regard the Springtime of 2022 as being worth your attention.

See:    Vancouver, Apr 2022: Coldest morning ever

None the less, the remarkable cold spell came only three months before the start of the July 2022 heat incursions.

Also in June 2022, Australia was having record cold in as far as goes the duration & persistence of cold fronts.  June 2022 was the longest streak of cold in 70 years, thereby offsetting any claim that June 2022 was the hottest June in recorded human history.  In as much, certain members of NOAA must be fired.

During the month of May 2022, Brazil went through record colds.  However, cool temperatures in the Spring and Summer months are too hot to handle, even when they occur during the Southern Hemisphere's Winter season.

You see, the commercial media has to keep humanity on a one-track, narrow-minded thought process.  Reporters beat like drums the claim that elevated amounts of the trace gas, Carbon Dioxide, infallibly increases the Earth's surface temperatures.  Yet, numerous records, archeological proxy evidence, and historic accounts testify otherwise.  

The latest findings of the Roman Warm Period is one such example.  It was recently ascertained via Mediterranean proxy evidence that the Roman Warm Period was 2.0 degrees Celsius hotter than today.

Speaking of the Roman Warm Period, the Univ of Arizona reported on the bristle-cone and tree ring findings of the Headwaters Region of the Rio Grande River, Colorado.   The surmise was that the Roman Warm Period in Southwestern America comprised a "multi-century period of unusual dryness between 1 and 400 AD, including an extreme drought in the 2nd Century."  Thus, things were far worse long before the invention of the combustible engine.  This era was when the atmospheric co2 level was 138 ppm LOWER than today.

See:  SW American drought conditions from 1 AD to 400 AD

Remember, Water Vapor is the gaseous version of this stuff, and it has ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT.

Ironically enough, the month of July 2022 didn't have the highest temperature deviation (anomaly) in the past 12 months.  October 2021 did.  So, where were the end-of-the-world Global Warming sermons during or after October 2021?

American Dam Replenishment & the False-Light Ft Lauderdale Rain Report

 Observe this recent 2023 publication, even if it translates into you skimming over ir ever so briefly:

Newsflash:  The American West did NOT have the worst drought in 1,200 years (as was repeatedly stated by the commercial media), and it did not have an ongoing drought.  Monsoons visited the American West on a regular basis throughout all that time.  They ironically came from the Gulf of Mexico ... instead of the Pacific Ocean ... through a clockwise rotating high pressure system.  Plus, the 2023 rainfall came to the American West as soon as La Nina ended.

The entirety of the above forecast can be found at https://www.weather.gov/owp/2023NHA.  It's based on the actual weather trend which recently transpired in 2023 and which disintegrated the climate doom predictions of 2022.   The predictions spoken by the usual suspects was that, in 2022, humanity reched a tipping point comprising a major extinction event of bitter dryness and parched heat, along with a contradictory event of Category 6 hurricanes and a very humid drowning of the coastlines. 

Neither event came close to happening.  As soon as the "La Nina" phase of the Pacific Ocean's El Nino Southern Oscillation ended, the replenishing rainfall & snowfall in America started.  La Nina makes the weather drier than normal in the Eastern Pacific, while simultaneously making things wetter than normal in the Western Pacific.    For those unfamiliar with ENSO, El Nino, & La Nina first take a look at this easy-listening introductory video made for the beginner/novice.  It assumes that the listener has no prior experience with meteorology and/or atmospheric science:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb3WMIaH4E

All in all, the weather of February-March-April 2023 turned out to be the opposite of what was predicted by the "celebrated" climate doom "experts," in their repetitively annoying & predictable End-of-the-World narrative which included: 

[1] a lasting drought in the American West --- which was said to have been occurring for years, even though regular Monsoon season was arriving in the American West throughout those years, [2] the depletion of the U.S. Western dams & reservoirs, all the while neglecting to mention the existence of a drastically increased human population there, along with an increased need for water, [3] the igniting of forest fires on a grander scale than had ever been previously seen, even though nothing will exceed the high number & ferocity of fires in the late 1920s and the entire 1930s, as well as in the 1870s. [4]  And let us not forgot the prediction of snowless winters in England ... California ... Utah ... and in the State of Arizona which does have ski resorts.  

Also, that which is called 'the climate crisis' was also claimed to be a crisis, on account of one, and only one, major hurricane that made landfall in the Continental United States in the entire 2022 hurricane season.  Yet, this one hurricane was preceded by a month which had no hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean, at all.  This observation, alone, makes the "climate crisis" alarm a sophomoric farce.  After all, to have only one major hurricane strike mainland North America during a hurricane season is to have no climate crisis at all.

The Actual Outcome of Weather Events in 2023 Thus Far

Instead of bringing the final phase of an extinction-causing drought to Planet Earth, the Year 2023 brought:  [1] the replenishment of dam water levels in the American West,  [2] record cold in New England,  [3] record cold in China,  [4] record cold & snowfall to Japan, and [5] sled riding in England with improvised sleds.  [6] Record high snowpacks in Utah & California.  However, that which transpired thus far in the Year 2023 was NOT the opposite of what the author of this Blue Marble Album site told readers to expect, back in 2022.   

See:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2i_jaY3JdQ&list=PLH8YDbh9qmDG6_EnHnoCHVzJ89x_Oav0Q

While [1] the commercial media, [2] lawsuit abuser Michael Mann, [3] the Biden Administration, [4] the very arrogant governor of California, and [4] the giggling airhead who occupies the vice presidency of the United States all claimed that a new and terminal phase of drought, heatwaves, crop failure, and all-around climate doom had arrived, the Blue Marble Album stated, "No, it hasn't."  None the less, he was written-off and ignored.

Despite the widespread propaganda & peer pressure, the Blue Marble Album author refused to succumb to the bullying and overly theatrical stage productions done under the guise of "mainstream media" news reports.  After all, there is no crisis caused by man-made co2, and the atmosphere is presently 99.9324% carbon-free;.  After all, [1] Nitrogen (78%),  [2] Oxygen (21%),  [3] Argon (0.93%),  [4] Neon (0.0018%),  [5] Helium (0.00052%), and [6] Krypton (0.00011%) are all carbon-free. 

The Blue Marble Album author wanted to be categorically counted out from the climate doomsayer camp, all the while being counted as a full-scale dissenter to the claim that there is a co2-driven & a methane-driven "climate crisis."   He repeatedly stated that "Climate is cyclical, just like a roller coaster."  He also displayed multiple newspaper reports, dating as far back as the 1800s to show that all of 2022's weather events previously happened, in patterned intervals of time, far more frequently than in a 1,000 years, 500 years, and even 150 years.  In fact, these events happened as recently as 2012, 2003, 1998, 1988, 1976, etc, etc, etc.  In as much, the weather events of Feb-March-April of 2023 proved his dissent to be nothing less than adherence to historic chronicles, to authentic almanacs, and to statistical accuracy. 

The Blue Marble Album author also stated, "On a spherical planet tilted at 23 1/2 degrees, one man's drought is another man's flood, and one man's heatwave is another man's cold snap.  He also reminded readers that Antarctica recently had its coldest winter in history in 2021, while two of the three sectors of the Great Barrier Reef became replenished in the same time span.  Yet, he was the one who was told that he didn't know what he was talking-about.  Then came Feb-March-April of 2023.  The scorecard at present reads:

~ the Blue Marble Album author who was NEVER payed as much as a dollar to write/speak for-or-against the present climate doom assertions = Correct.  

~ The celebrated Michael Mann (who NEVER won any type of Nobel Prize) & Al Gore (who was NEVER nominated for the Nobel Prize in Science) = embarrassingly wrong yet again in their predictable doomsday predictions.   

Michael Mann's Diversionary Tactic after the Successful Dam Replenishments

And of course, the dishonest Michael Mann whose Australian predictions failed shortly before his American drought predictions failed had to change the subject and create a diversion.  So, he very falsely claimed that the 2023 Broward County rain of April 12, 2023 was something that no one should see in a thousand years.  He called it the "Thousand Year Event," even though more virulent rain storms occurred in America throughout the 20th Century, including in FLORIDA, on September 5th, 1950.  

In April of 2023, it was reported in a deceptively false light that Southern Florida received 25.6 inches of rain in less than  24 hours.  (Note: the Wikipedia site stated that it happened in 12 hours, but heavily funded U.S. scientific administrations disagree.)   The truth was that only a small patch of Florida land received the 25+ inches, in a 24 hour period.  In nearby Florida terrain --- within the same 24 hour period --- rainfall amounted to  [1] 7.22 inches,  [2] 4.20 inches,  [3] 6.11 inches in Fort Lauderdale, itself,  [4] 9.82 inches,  [5] 6.67 inches,  [6] 6.59 inches,  [7] 8.14 inches,  [8] 5.16 inches,  [9] 9.60 inches,  [10] 7.14 inches.  Such an event is NOT a Thousand Year Event.  Michael Mann is a deliberate liar.  See below:

That 25+ inches only fell on a small patch of Florida land, with the neighboring areas getting much less rain in the same time span  This shows that the media and Michael Mann lie and lie and lie again and again.  PLUS,  25+ inches is NOT Florida's record.  38.70 inches in 1950 is.

In addition to Tampa Florida getting 38.70 inches of rain in 24 hours, in 1950,  [2] Texas got 42 inches of rain in a 24 hour period, in 1979.  Also, [3] Alabama's 24 hr record is 32.5 inches, and that occurred in 1997 --- not 1,001 years ago.   [4] Louisiana's 24 hr record is 22 inches of rainfall which fell in 1962 --- also a time much nearer to 2023 than is 1,000-years-ago.   

Continuing, other 24-hour state records include  [5] California; 25.8 inches in 1943,  [6] Georgia; 21.1 inches in 1994.  The chart below will fill you in on the other State records.  This and many other pieces of evidence posted at the Blue Marble Album illustrates how incessantly the media, Michael Mann, the Biden Administration, and Al Gore have been lying to the public. 

Compliments of the U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.  One correction needs to be made:  Florida's record is 38.0inches, accomplished on September 5, 1950, during Hurricane Easy. 

Also see:  https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Summary-US-State-Historical-Precipitation-Extremes

 

Preview: 

Florida's record rainfall within a 24-hour period did NOT occur in April of 2023.  It occurred on September 5, 1950, when the atmospheric co2 level was much lower than today ... and when the atmospheric methane level was less than 2 parts per million, just as it is today.  On that day, it rained 38.70 inches in the Tampa area, within 24 hours of time.  In fact, on November 11-12, 1980, a total of 23.38 inches of rainfall came upon the Key West international airport ... also in Florida.  In  Thus, the "Fort Lauderdale Storm" was nowhere near a "thousand year storm."  

Similarly, on July 24-25, 1979, a grand total of 42 inches of rain fell upon the Houston area within a 24 hour period.   In fact, on July 19-20, 1997 Dauphin Island Alabama got 32+ inches.  Alabama also got 22-24 inches of rain on another 1997 day, within a 24 hour period.  

In 1942, Pennsylvania once got 30.70 inches of rain in four and a half hour period.  In 1921, Thrall Texas got 36.40 inches of rain within an eighteen hour period.  And in 1943, California received 25.83 inches of rain within a 24 hour period.  The list goes on, and the bottom line is that there were many storms and floods that were far worse than the very temporary one of April 12, 2023.  Moreover, the one piece of evidence which proves the April 12, 2023 Fort Lauderdale rain to be hyper-exaggerated chump change is this:   NO ONE DIED on account of the April 2023 rain there!!!!!  

In contrast, the 1887 Yellow River Flood (Huang-Ho River Flood), in Qing China, killed 930,000+ human lives.  Plus, there were multiple Yellow River floods and numerous deaths throughout history.  The April 12, 2023 Fort Lauderdale rain compares to zero of them.

Moreover, Pennsylvania, a place much closer to Florida than is China, had some of the most powerful flood waters in history.  On May 31, 1889, 1,600 Johnston buildings were simultaneously demolished and swept away, when 16 million tons of water created a 40 foot high channel of raging water, a half mile wide.  Yet, 47 years prior to the 1889 flood, the Indus River Valley (in Pakistan) hosted the most disastrous flood in modern history.  It included100 foot high flood waters.  In fact, also in 1841 was a flood on the Salisbury Plain, called the Great (River) Till Flood of 1841.

Then comes the Great California Flood of 1862, when it days from December 9, 1861 to January 20, 1862.  Flooding extented into Idaho, Washington, Nevada & Utah.  4,000 died from the flood, during a time when the atmospheric co2 level was very very low, @ 286 ppm.   Today, co2 is @ 420 ppm.

There are numerous examples of rainfall and flooding far far worse than the very temporary April 12, 2023 flood which was hyper-exaggerated by the Michael Mann and Al Gore people, in order to deceive you into thinking that the recent Congressional outlay of 370 BILLION taxpayer dollars to the "climate activists & scientists" was necessary.  Newsflash:  It was a waster of taxpayer dollars, proven by the quick 2023 replenishment of Western dams, compliments of nature only ... and not by any funded scientist.

Let us begin:

Within here is yet another piece of evidence which shows that the climate crisis media has been doing nothing more than lying to the public.  Its technique of lying has been the use of:  [1] false light disinformation & [2] sleight-of-hand deception.  This was 100% the case with the July 19, 2022 Great London True Fire Stats, as well as the climate refugee predictions about an Australia that has recently been replenishing quite well, thank you.  

In addition to the Great Barrier Reef having the most coral cover it has had in over 40 years, the Australian ski resorts were in operation, too.  The opposite of what Michael Mann predicted occurred there.  Hearing Michael Mann's weather predictions is like listening to a Beatles album being played backwards.  The same goes for Jim Hansen, formerly of NASA.  He has a perfect record of weather predictions NEVER coming true.

This incessant deceit of the media ... which is simultaneously in line with Jim Hansen's incessant failure at weather predictions ... included the 35 year old watery doom prediction of the Maldives which has recently built 5 NEW autonomous airport landing fields, to accommodate the tourist popularity of those very healthy islands.   

This failed prediction is always accompanied by the prediction that the Arctic Ocean will "very soon" be free of sea ice during some upcoming August.  Yet, the closest that the Arctic Ocean came to an ice-free Summer was in 2012, when 1.32 MILLION  square miles of ice covered the Arctic Ocean.  Now, the square root of 1.32 MILLION square miles is 1,148 linear miles.  Thus, the least amount of ice that the Arctic had was equivalent to the distance from New York City to Kansas City Missouri ... squared.  Let it also be reminded that the glaciers of Glacier National Park were NOT "gone by 2020."

Then comes the matter of the Biden administration deleting from government charts & graphs the massive forest fire frequency of the late 1920s and entire 1930s.  This was done ... in my opinion ... to make the much lesser number of fires since 1983 look like the end of the world.  Today, students fail to realize that the creation of Smoky the Bear campaign in the early 1940s was a sign that forest fires of the 1930s had the attention of an entire nation, due to the traumatic size and even more traumatic effect that those fires had on the American psyche.   Even the extended tragedies of WWII did NOT make Americans ignore the massive acreage that succumbed to forest fires.

Australia is the size of the Continental USA, and it had its heat during the years when America did, also. 
Let us proceed with uncovering yet another lie told by the Michael-Mann-approved & Bill-Gates-funded media, as well as the commercial and even subscription news outlets. 

----------

On April 12, 2023, it was reported that "a Thousand Year" rainfall occurred in Florida, and that this was proof that Planet Earth was now in the midst of an Extinction-Event & Climate Crisis.  This would logically mean that the most rain to ever hit Florida (or anywhere else on Earth) fell on April 12, 2023.  

Michael "Hockey Sticks" Mann was placed in front of a camera, and we were assured that doom was now upon us, and that we all had to shut up, sit down, and fully submit our lives to him and his godlike knowledge of climate; as if no one else on Earth had meteorological statistics at their disposal.

You need to understand that Michael Mann utterly failed in his apocalyptic prediction that Australia will become a land vacated by climate refugees.  This is because the rains healthfully returned to Australia, along with coral cover that regenerated 2 of the 3 sectors of the Great Barrier Reef, as well as profitable Australian ski resorts. 

Then came the failure of the 2022 predictions of "a prolonged American drought," "added forest fire devastation," and "record heat."  This doomsday prediction literally got washed away and "whited out" by means of 2023's record snowpacks & snowfall in the American West, as well as record snowfall in England ... and Japan.  Meanwhile, the accompanying replenishment of American dams also made Mann look like a bumbling buffoon who was clueless to the true climate conditions of Planet Earth.  

If you want to see how far off in their predictions were the climate doomsayers of 2022, as they apply to Feb-Mar-Apr 2023, then take a look at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2i_jaY3JdQ&list=PLH8YDbh9qmDG6_EnHnoCHVzJ89x_Oav0Q 

Due to his climate prediction failures, Michael Mann had to create a diversionary tactic ... to continue deceiving Americans into believing that an apocalyptic extinction-event & climate crisis was underway.  So, he hyper-exaggerated the April 12, 2023 rain in southeastern Florida.  He told everybody that the sky was falling.

When assessing how dishonest is the Michael Mann who NEVER co-won any Nobel Prize, though he and certain media outlets very falsely claim this to be so, compare April 12 to the truly great American water disasters:

In all of the end-of-the-world hype provided by the climate doomsday media outlets, recent official government publications are the evidence which proved the April 12, 2023 rain reports to have been overly-hyped fraudulent misrepresentations.  To start, April 12 wasn't even the day of the most rainfall to ever visit Florida in a 24 hour period.  And it certainly wasn't the most rain to hit America or Planet Earth in a 24-hour period, as well.  

Florida's greatest 24-hour rainfall occurred 73 years ago, when co2 levels were much lower than today, on September 5,1950 ... NOT 1,001 years ago.   It rained 38.70 inches, during Hurricane Easy, covering the land that included my Alma Mater, the University of Tampa, a college that was known for its oceanography program during my time there.

Moreover, on November 11, 1980, 22.75 inches of rain fell on Key West.  That amounts to 43 years ago; NOT 1,001.

Plus, the 25.6 inches of rain (later amended to 5.91 inches) on April 12 (2023) only fell upon an exceptionally small piece of Southeastern Florida real estate.  It only fell on part of Broward County.  The real estate that surrounded the 25.6 inch (25.91 inch) rainfall zone was visited with much less rain at the exact same time.  Observe one of the NOAA & MWS (National Weather Service) prelim reports:  

~ Slightly South of  the 25.91 inch rainfall zone, only 7.22 inches of rain fell.  That equals  28% of 25.91 inches.  Slightly Northwest of it, a mere 4.20 inches of rain fell, and that constitutes only 16% of 25.91 inches.  

~ Slightly north of that zone, at Fort Lauderdale proper, no more than 6.11 inches of rain fell.  One step further south, in Hollywood Florida, it rained 9.82 inches, and this number only equals 38% of the heavily advertised 25.91 inches that fell upon a very small patch of Broward County land.

~  Directly West, it rained 6.59 & 8.14 inches. ---  One step further southwest, at Pembroke Pines, it rained a mere 5.16 inches.  One step further northwest, it rained 9.60 inches . . . all occurring in 24 hours of time.   

In fact, at Pompano Beach, it only rained 3.39 inches.  At Boca Raton Florida, it only rained 2.24 inches.  And at Miami proper, there was a range of 3.51 inches to 4.92 inches of rain.  Meanwhile, down on Miami Beach, it rained no more than 2.02 inches, on the exact same day.

Such numbers are not Thousand Year Events --- or even 150 Year Events --- or even 75 year events.  Now, this hyper-exaggerated doomsday report, in my opinion, was Michael Mann's attempt to rationalize and justify that outrageously exorbitant 370 BILLION taxpayer dollar allotment recently made to less-than-honest activists & scientists (as well as activist scientists.)  That Congressional allocation was done in the name of an apocalyptic climate crisis that certainly does not exist any more than a climate crisis existed throughout in the 1500s or even the 1900s.  

The 25+ inch rain of Apr 12, 2023 only fell on a small patch of Florida land, with the neighboring areas getting much less in the same time span  This shows that the media and Michael Mann lie and lie and lie, again and again and yet again.  Furthermore,  25+ inches in 2023 is NOT Florida's record.  38.70 inches in 1950 is.

Florida has 67 counties, while the United States has 3,243 counties (including Louisiana parishes).  A fraction of one county getting a lot of rain, while the surrounding patches of land only get 1/3 to 1/5 of that amount, is no climate crisis.  You gotta do better than that, if you want people to believe that the world is soon coming to a watery end.  The illustration above and many other pieces of evidence posted at the Blue Marble Album illustrate how incessantly Michael Mann, the Biden Administration, the media, and Al Gore have been lying to the public.  

Rainfall Records Elsewhere

 In recent decades ... within the past century ... other places got far worse than 25 inches of rain in 24 hrs.  As a quick example, Texas got 42 inches of rain in a 24 hour period, in 1979.   2023 minus 1979 = 44 years ago.  NOT 1,001 years ago.

In addition to Tampa Florida getting 38.70 inches of rain in 1950 --- and to Texas getting 42 inches in 1979 --- Alabama got 32.5 inches of rainfall in 24 hours, in 1997.  In as much, 2023 minus 1997 = 26 years ago;  NOT 1,001 years ago.   Plus, California's 24-hour rainfall record was 25.8 inches, and it transpired in 1943; 80 years ago --- NOT 1,001.   

Other 24-hour state records include Louisiana accruing 22 inches of rainfall in 1962 , as well as Georgia getting 21.1 inches in 1994.  Massachusetts got 18.2 inches in 1955, while Missouri got 18.2 inches in 1965.  There is a chart below which will fill you in on the other State records.  

Most rainfall in 18 hours of time

In September of 1921, 36.40 inches of rain fell on Thrall, Texas, in an 18 hour period.  And on July 17, 1942, it rained 30.70 inches for a four and a half hour period, in Smethport, Pennsylvania (12 miles or so south from the NY/PA border.)  That's 30.70 inches in 4.5 hours ... 4 1/2 hours.  Now, 2023 minus 1921 = 102 years ago, when co2 levels were much lower than they are today.  In addition, 2023 minus 1942 = 81 years ago;  NOT 1,001 years ago.

A second NWS prelim report for Broward County, April 12-13, 2023

When viewing the NWS prelim report below, keep in mind that the NWS Miami twitter account admits that a portion of the rainfall numbers on its Apr13, 9:30am tweet are NOT regarded as official numbers --- that some are numbers gathered by volunteers, and that the numbers came from several sources.  NO matter what stats or illustration you view, only a small patch of land ... relatively speaking ... was involved in the April 12, 2023 rain.  There were far worse flooding events and longer consecutive rain days in the 20th Century.  This was already addressed ... with examples ... at the Blue Marble Album.

The most important thing is that climate is "the prevailing weather TREND." ... usually throughout the most recent thirty-year period.  A mere 24, 48, or 72 doesn't indicate any kind of trend.  Something so short in time is an event' NOT a trend. 

Any one-day event has zero bearing on climate.  There is less than 1/2 of 1% of co2 in that sky out there, and in the same sky methane exists at LESS THAN two parts per million.  During the Cambrian Explosion, when sea life came into existence, there literally was 16 and two-thirds MORE co2 in the sky.  So, you must quit frightening your school students with you end-of-the-world predictions that have been failing since 1970.  Planet Earth is still here, as are the Maldive, Arctic Ice, etc.  In fact, the end of your world (on this Earth) will come a whole lot sooner than the end of "THE WORLD."

Any one-day event has zero bearing on climate.  There is less than 1/2 of 1% co2 in that sky out there, and in the same sky methane exists at LESS THAN two parts per million.  During the Cambrian Explosion, when sea life inclusively & vastly came into existence, there literally was 16 and two-thirds MORE co2 in the sky.  You need to quit during your Al Gore impersonation of climate doom coming tomorrow.  It is assured that the end of your world (on this Earth) will come a whole lot sooner than the end of "THE WORLD."

 10.22 inches of rain is still only half of the 25.91 placed in neon lights by the Bill-Gates-friendly press.  The April 12 event was NOT a long-term, repetitive event.  It's defined as "cherry picking," with the intent of terrifying school children so much that their parents will be effected and then demand yet more hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to be tossed into the hands of the climate doom scientists who have thus far been completely wrong in all their predictions, dating back to 1970.   

The specific predictions of climate doom and massive crop failure and drowning coastlines have been addressed in other texts.  All in all, the Maldives are still there.  The Great Barrier Reef is still there.  Summertime Arctic Ice is still there.  The glaciers of Glacier National Park are still there.  The Daytona Beach and Miami Beach coastlines are still there.  Etc, etc, etc.

As far as goes the world record for the most rainfall to have transpired in a 24 hour period, it occurred on January 7-8, 1966.  It rained 71.8 inches on Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean, east of the island known as Madagascar --- which is east of the African continent.   And of course, 2023 minus 1966 = 57 years ago;  NOT 1,001.  Thus, Michael Mann is a pathetically sophomoric liar with the maturity factor of a 12 year old.  Why did he not think that someone somewhere was going to do some fact checking with official government publications?

As far as goes the longest dry period:  Between October 1903 and January 1918, it did not rain in Arica, Chile --- which is located 11 miles south of the Peru border.  That dry spell occurred 105 to 120 years ago.  That rainless dry spell lasted for 15 years.

In fact, during 1913, in Death Valley USA, the hottest temperature ever recorded was recorded there.  And the years 1920 to 1922 were years of drastic heat and glacier melt, including the melting of Arctic sea ice up to the 82nd parallel.  As a comparison, know that the North Pole is at 90 degrees.  Thus ice melt occurred 8 latitudinal degrees from the North Pole, in 1922; 101 years ago --- NOT 1,001 years ago.

Moreover, the Years 1927 to 1943 were years of massive forest fires in the western United States.  In addition, 1934 was the year of the worst drought in a thousand years, according to NASA.  Meanwhile, 1936 had the hottest summer on record.  So, you lie when you say that the worse weather conditions are occurring today.

Compliments of the U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.  One correction needs to be made:  Florida's record is 38.70 inches, accomplished on September 5, 1950, during Hurricane Easy.

The Roman Warm Period & the Justinian Era Antique Little Ice Age

  the roman forum, rome, ancient, italy, history, the ruins of the, architecture, culture, monuments, caesar

Opening Note:  Do not confuse the Justinian Era Antique Little Ice Age that started in 536AD with the Mini Ice Age (sometimes called the Little Ice Age) which started with a 1313 drought and then the Black Death in 1348 .... and which was actually ushered-in by the 1280 Wolf Solar Minimum.  It was during the 1280s when two different ... yet equally disastrous sea storms ... which destroyed two entirely different invasion fleets of the Kubla Khan who never succeeded in conquering Japan.  Okay then.  We begin.

Concerning Global Warming History, science researchers recently found that it was TWO degrees Celsius WARMER during the Roman Warm Period than it is today.  Therefore, according to Bill Nye, it was impossible for there to have ever been a Roman Empire, in that the 2C degree heat increase would have resulted in a climate so hostile that no one could organize government and society.  Well, that warm-weather empire did exist and it flourished for centuries, even in hot-hot Africa.

For the sake of time orientation purposes, know that the Roman Warm Period is more concisely understood to have begun at the time of Julius Caesar or Caesar Augustus, and it is understood to have ended at the start of the dreadful Justinian Plague.  In fact, 536 AD was regarded as the most disastrous year in human history ... not 2022.  None the less, there was an Iron Age cooling period before the Roman Warming came into play.

 See ::: The Roman Warm Period was 2 degrees Celsius warmer than today. 

The cooling period that started during the reign of Justinian is known as the Late Antique Little Ice Age.  It was described by scientists as "an abrupt 124 year freeze," and it was marked by aridity and famine.  It left continents of people weakened and vulnerable to the invasions of a newly formed religion which imposed death or a tax called the Jizya upon those who did not adhere to the newly formed religion.  The abrupt cooling period is conjectured to have been triggered by three major volcanic eruptions in an eleven year period, the first one erupting in 536AD and the most massive one erupting in 540AD.

 Notice the pattern ::: A couple mini-ice-ages each start at the beginning of a plague.  Think.

During a volcanic eruption, a lot of co2 and a lot of sulfur dioxide is released into the atmosphere.  Now, with the tremendous amount of co2 being thrust into the Troposphere, one would think that the weather after a volcano would be warm.  The truth is, after a volcanic eruption, cold weather ensues.  An example is the 1815 eruption of Mt Tambora.  It resulted in the 1816 "Summer that Never Was."  

The truth is that the sulfur dioxide thrust into the atmosphere by volcanoes supersedes co2 and causes drastic cooling.  This is because sulfur dioxide molecules are like mirrors that reflect solar radiation back into outer space.  Such cooling is known as "the aerosol effect."

None the less, before the Roman Warm Period, there was a cooling period marked by glacier advances on Earth.  In fact, the existence of the Copper Age Warming Period occurred circa 2913 B.C.E.   This began the gradual aridification process of Egypt.   There was also a Bronze Age Warm Period, circa 2040 BCE.  This was a time marked by aridity and famine, too.  It also marked the start of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom.

When speaking of Cooling Phases being more likely to accompany disastrous weather events, take the common tornado as an example.  That which is required for a tornado to form and to activate is  ====> "a downdraft of COLD air."  Without the cold making an appearance, there are no tornadoes.

Incidentally, Global Warming was first mentioned on air in 1983, on the NBC Nightly News, by the late Jessica Savitch.  Tragically, Jessica died in late October of that same year, in an automobile accident.  She and a New York Post manager were found under five feet of water, in the Delaware Canal, 30 miles from Philly.  She was only 35. 

The True Textbook-Defined Signature of Global Warming 

 If there is no temperature rise in the middle of the Troposphere, then there is no global warming.  There was no Tropospheric temperature rise between 1999 and 2016.  This was called the Hiatus (the resting --- the "Global Warming Pause"). 

April 25, 2024

There was only ONE Northern Russian Arctic Circle Anthrax Outbreak. None were in 1941. The media lied again, through false light exaggeration.

Reindeer herders camp in the polar urals natural park
Arctic Russia. Newsflash: Non-modernized nomads do NOT seek to sleep on permafrost. 

Person 1:  There was one anthrax outbreak in Russia.  It occurred in 2016, in the northernmost part of central Russia, in an area known for its lucrative oil production.  One outbreak only.  One person died ... in all of Russia.  Approximately one hundred got infected.

Person 2:  Well, okay.  Conceded.  But, the bubonic plague and other microbiological disasters will strike Siberia, through the melting permafrost.  

Person 1:  The Bubonic Plague did strike Madagascar recently.  But, that's in Africa ... not in Siberia.  The Bubonic Plage also struck India, in 2014, killing 56.  India is nowhere near the Russian permafrost, frozen or unfrozen.  In order to emerge from melted permafrost, you have to be an endospore.  The Bubonic Plague bacteria (Yersinia Pestis) is not an endospore. 

Siberian Architecture is the issue

Microbiology isn't the issue of most concern, in the areas of receding permafrost.  Architecture is.  This is how you separate a Climate Change Fraudster from an honest person.  If a person presents him or herself as a climate expert on permafrost, and doesn't mention "stilts," "thermopile," and/or "thermosyphon," the person is a fraud who is pretending to be an expert.

The first reality is that melted permafrost freezes-up real fast come Autumn in the Northernmost regions of Russia.  Melted permafrost is frozen throughout most of the year.  And, it only take two contiguous years for a frozen substance to be classified as permafrost; not 2,000.

Quick Tips, for detecting sleight of hand deceptions

Firstly, if you are looking at a photo with any kind of grass in it, you are NOT looking at a permafrost landscape.  Secondly, if you are looking at Russian architecture over true permafrost (frozen or melted), you will see a concrete lot around the building, and stilts attached to the house, going into the ground.   Thirdly, if you are being shown a photo of Arctic nomads, know this:  They don't want to sleep on ice.  Do you?

Then comes the thermopile (providing a shadowing effect on the ground below, to keep things cold) or thermosyphon (to extract heat from the ground below the structure.)  This is in addition to house stilts.

Now, if there truly is a melting permafrost involved, as opposed to other varieties of snow & ice, it does NOT automatically mean that co2 or the minute level of any other minor greenhouse gas is doing the melting.  Water vapor is the master greenhouse gas.

Concerning CO2, it's super easy to illustrate that it hasn't been causing a melting in the Arctic Circle, even though there has been melting there.  Observe:

Firstly, atmospheric co2 is mostly uniform (mostly the same) with little variation throughout the Earth's Tropospheric altitudes.  Even though some regions of the Earth emit much more industrial co2 than other regions, co2 generally evens itself out throughout the entire atmosphere, per altitude layer. 

Thus, that which is occurring in the Arctic would be occurring in  Antarctica, if co2 were a driver of climate & air temperatures.  After all, Global Warming deals with the Globe ... not merely the Arctic Circle.  So, the South Pole should have its melting, too.  And Antarctica is the same size as the Arctic Ocean; 5.5 million square miles.

Newsflash:  The Year 2021 was the year of Antarctica's coldest known winter on record.  

Double Newsflash: The gigantic Ross Ice Shelf in Western Antarctica was found to be crystalizing at its bottom, and not smoothing-out.  Smoothing-out denotes melting.  Thus, the Ross Ice Shelf was doing the opposite of melting. 

Directly below is a National Geographic video on the Ross Ice Shelf crystalizing at its bottom, after a super deep hole was cut into it, by New Zealand scientists in 2015.  The name, National Geographic, makes it a prestigious video.

See:     Ross Ice Shelf Crystalizing and NOT melting.

Oh, by the way, concerning the report that Antarctica had a recent record high of 64.9F, that place was 1,840 miles away from the South Pole, and 206 miles outside of the Antarctic Circle.  It was 700 miles away from the southern tip of South America, where Chile and Argentina have borderlines.

Definition   

In review, the official definition of permafrost is anything frozen for two consecutive years, including rocks and boulders.  You do not need co2 to effect the melting of (or the sublimation) of permafrost.  

CO2 is only 0.042% of the Troposphere, with the radiative forcing of a nightlight.  Water vapor is the dominant greenhouse, comprising 90% of the Earth's greenhouse gases ... by volume, of course.  So, you need to widen your panorama and quit being tunnel-visioned by an Al Gore who claimed that the center of the Earth is millions of degrees.  The center is 9,800F to 10,800F.  Gore is a fraud.

One more thing:  It's very much possible for ice to turn directly into vapor, thereby bypassing the melting and liquefying phase.  It's called sublimation.  A prime example of this sublimation is on Himalayan mountain tops.  Strong winds are required.  So, if you see missing ice, it doesn't automatically mean "melting."  And if you have melting ice, it doesn't automatically mean co2, when the co2 level is merely 21/50,000th of the atmosphere; that's "twenty-one, fifty thousandth" of the Troposphere.

Concerning the building of any structure on permafrost, that's a conversation for another article or discourse or video.  So, an article written by a member of an Alaska firm (on the permafrost topic) was posted directly below, should you be curious.

See:   Building on permafrost, aware that the permafrost might melt. 

If there is vegetative life present, you are not on permafrost

Permafrost has melted previously and the world did not come to an end.  Evidence as to the absence of Northern Permafrost in ages past is artifacts found under present Permafrost ... or under recently melted permafrost.  This includes human-made skis and a few mummies designed to be preserved for a really long time.  Other evidence includes rooted tree stumps positioned closer to the Arctic Ocean than is today's more remote tree line.  Therefore, the Zombie Apocalypse is on hold.

In fact, there's an irony with Arctic coastline permafrost.  Firstly, it comprises 30% of all coastlines on Earth.  Secondly, Arctic Ocean water has repeatedly been found to be super cooled, meaning that it is still liquid even though it's temperature is below 32F ... or 0C.   This presents a question:  Does permafrost ever become super cooled, turning into liquid without a temperature?

The variables in this equation would be ~frazil ice, ~anchor ice, ~turbulence, as in kicking-up eddys (those gyres ...  slow-motion spinning tops).  Well, this subject is for a series of articles.  It's beyond the scope of this discourse.

All in all, Arctic Ice starting slowly going downward in 1968 or so.  Then, after 1979, when there was the highest accumulation of Arctic sea ice, it diminished more efficiently.  It stared its return in 2017.  None the less, all of the Arctic Ocean is on salt water.  The Antarctic is desert land, and the ice accumulation on that land is equal to the ice accumulation during the latest maximum glaciation (aka Ice Age) of  North America.  

Moreover, the massive ice shelves of Antarctica are mostly submerged in saltwater ... and are not floating on top of it.  None the less, the Antarctic Ice has been found increasing within the past 10 years, especially in 2015.  Meanwhile, Arctic Ice has not been doing so ... except for this year, in 2022, and 2017, as well as 2018.  A return of ice started in 2017. 

In as much, being that the Poles are under the same atmosphere, and yet are behaving differently from each other, the atmospheric co2 level is NOT an answer to this question, in any capacity.  Having obsessive recourse to co2 levels as the answer to every atmospheric question is pathetic.  CO2 is the key to photosynthesis.  It's an answer to agricultural questions; not to atmospheric ones. 

That which might be an answer is found somewhere in the observation that sea ice isn't forming above Northern Scandivania or west of Russia's Arctic seaports.  After all, you can draw a line from the Gulf of Mexico to Western Russia's Arctic seaports.  That might mean something useful.  None the less, that topic is beyond the scope of this article.

Yet, concerning 2022, the year of France's heat wave, there has been a generous allotment of ice in the Arctic.  Yet, Scandinavian and Arctic Russian aren't getting the ice.  None the less, there is more ice now than in the past couple decades.  And and and, ships still get caught in Arctic Ice. 

Greenland is what is exaggerated by the Climate Doomsayers.  After all, if all the Arctic Ocean completely melted, it would have the same general effect as your iced tea ice cubes melting away.  The water level would not increase.  

Actually,  when snow melts, the water level decreases.  Anyone who worked outdoors for years, knows this via experience.  So, the climate doomsayers must attract the public's mind to Greenland and then create a horror story via false light, sleight of hand misrepresentation.

None the less, the aforementioned question still isn't answered.  For now, it would suffice to state that climate hysteria has gone overboard, because the Biden people are using it for inspiring high amounts of Congressional funding.  The Congress is the keeper of the purse.  So, the executive branch in DC has to inspire Congress to spend.

Endospores is the other issue 

When it comes to the claim that pandemics will bloom from the melted permafrost areas, it's a matter of "endospores" which can sit crystalized and dormant for a few consecutive centuries, but NOT for thousands of years.  

Now, there are aerobic endospores and anaerobic ones.  Aerobic endospores activate in oxygen "mediums" and anaerobic ones activate as soon as they're in an environment free of oxygen.

An example of an anaerobic endospore is Tetanus.  When it gets into a cut, into an oxygen-free zone of the human body, it's activated.  If left untreated, tetanus mostly turns into "lock-jaw" which happens to be fatal.

An example of an aerobic endospore ` (in part only) is Anthrax which happens to be in the bacillus family.  A bacillus is a rod.  Anthracis refers to coal, as in the mark on the skin caused by anthrax.  It looks like a lump of coal, one-dimensionally speaking.  None the less, there are two types of anthrax.  One is vegetative. 

Bubonic Plague doesn't operate that way

That which proves asinine the assertion that "bubonic plague will come out of melted permafrost" is the fact that bubonic plague bacteria (yersinia pestis) is "non-spore-forming  coccobacillus."   It is NOT an endospore.

However, it is a "facultative anaerobic" bacterium, meaning that it can survive in oxygenated and oxygen-free mediums.  Thus, it even feels at home in untreated cuts.  BTW, coccus means sphere, and bacillus means rod.  Coccobacillus means short and oval in shape.

Anthrax needs a non-oxygen environment to enable itself to sit crystallized for a few centuries.  Snow is NOT oxygen-free.  Ice is NOT oxygen-free.  Anthrax has to get kicked-up out of the Earth, though only at near-surface depth.  Wind or heavy precipitation or a military invasion kicks it up the earth ... not melting.  Melting doesn't kick up anything.  After the melting, something else must do the kicking-up.

Now, anthrax is NOT spread from human to human.  It is NOT a contagion, unless there is cut-skin to cut-skin contact (subcutaneous contact).  Anthrax mostly infects living beings by "aerosol dissemination;"  breathing it in while it floats through the air.  

One can also contract anthrax via eating something infected with anthrax.

Permafrost still frosts-up in the Wintertime.  So, why does it seem that anthrax only hovers around the snowy cold places of the Earth?  Well, it doesn't.  Only the Climate Doomsayers make this appear to be so.  

Anthrax came out of Africa 3-6 thousand years ago.  How did it get  up to Russia, in the first place?  In order for anthrax to have landed on Northern Russian ground, there had to have been a snowless time span in Russian, in the first place.  Thus, permafrost is not a hallowed relic.

Now, the Arctic Circle anthrax infection issue is yet another FALSE LIGHT MISREPRESENTATION.  The media made it sound as if this type of thing was happening on a regular basis.  The media made it sound like something that had now become common.  In as much, answer this question:

Q: Except for Lake Nakuru Park In Kenya, when was the last time there was an anthrax outbreak?

ANS 1: July 2022 in Croatia. Dozens of cattle died.  Six humans hospitalized.   Croatia is far away from Russian permafrost.

ANS 2: June 2018, in France.  Zero humans died.   Cattle got infected.  Approximately 50 cattle died.  France is far away from the Arctic Circle and Russia in general.

ANS 3: 2009, in Scotland.  Drug addicts contracted anthrax through needle sharing.  This definitely has nothing to do with melted or unmelted permafrost anywhere on Earth.  This was indoor anthrax.   The drug addicts were not shooting-up outdoors, in Northern Russia.

Climate Doom Propagandists have to insert lie after lie, in between pieces of actual historic fact.  For example, the 2016 media reported that Russia's SOLE anthrax outbreak as the first one "since 1941."

There was no anthrax outbreak in 1941.  That was during WWII, when Nazi Germany had invaded Russia.  The outbreak was an Influenza Epidemic amongst the Nazi German troops.  It was the 1918 Spanish Flue (Kansas Flu;) not anthrax and not the bubonic plague.  So, do you once again see how the Climate Activists lie and lie and lie again, via sleight of hand, false light misrepresentation?

Concerning Climate Doomsayers stating that Russia would not only be infected with anthrax, but also by bubonic plague, etc  rising out of the melted permafrost:  

Well, between 2014 and 2017, there most certainly was an outbreak of the Bubonic Plague --- in Madagascar, Africa --- far far away from the Russian permafrost.  In Madagascar,  2,348 people became infected, and 202 died.  In Russia, none.

In 1994, there was a Bubonic Plague outbreak that killed 56 people --- in India, far away from Russian permafrost.  Bubonic Plague, aka Yersinia Pestis, is NOT an endospore.

Q:  Why does the Lake Nakuru anthrax outbreak not matter in this conversation?

ANS:  It's because Lake Nakuru is in Kenya, and Kenya is at the Equator where there is NO RUSSIAN PERMAFROST, melted or unmelted.

Q: So, when was the last time an anthrax outbreak resulted in at least one human death anywhere on Earth?

ANS: 2016, in North-central Siberia.  One 12 year old human unfortunately died.  One hundred other humans got infected.  About 2,300 animals died, mostly reindeer.  That was six years ago.  Nothing since then. 

Q: Were there any other anthrax outbreaks in the 21st Century, other than the 2001 mail-delivery anthrax attacks?

ANS:  Only one other ... in Jharkhand Inda, in 2014.   Seven people died, and the anthrax was traced to one deceased cow.  Some people made dinner from that infected cow.   

Jharkland is a warm weather region.  It's coldest winter weather is usually in the upper 40s Fahrenheit at night.  Therefore, melted permafrost was NOT an issue in this case, either.  There was no permafrost there, in the first place.

The conclusion is that the media took one and only one cold climate anthrax event that occurred in the 21st Century and hyper-exaggerated it to the point where it sounded as if anthrax outbreaks were regularly occurring year after year after year, month after month.  No.  Not at all.  The media once again lied via sleight of hand false light misrepresentation.
