Above: The true power of CO2 |
As of recent, you were witnessing hyper-exaggerations, false-light reporting, and sleight-of-hand deceptions from the media, throughout the summer of 2022, 2023 and 2024. And these ever-so-coincidentally were the Biden-Harris Years. Well, as far back as 1988, Biden was cited & sighted for being a liar. And throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, all that Kamala Harris did was lie. I have her many lies detailed in other posts.
Well, despite the climate doomsday diatribes of Harris-Walz, the 2024 grape harvest in California was defined as EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY. Plus, it was reported that "Texas wine grape producers are celebrating one of the best harvests in the past five years." No such things are possible during a climate crisis.
The actual impossibility of 2024 was that it was impossible to hear Kamala Harris ever speak the truth about anything she said. This has already been detailed in multiple posts, at the Blue Marble Album.
For now, it's important to point-out the success of some of 2024's harvests, as well as pointing out the absence of any massive crop failures and deadly famine. The End of the World, as is defined by Greta Thunberg, has been cancelled for the Year 2024. Maybe next year, Greta.
As far as goes Asia, India continued to enjoy record-high rice production, in 2024. China enjoyed rice harvest increases, too.
Meanwhile, India had a 14% decrease in sugar production. Meanwhile, the other major sugar producer, Brazil, had a 5% decline projected for the 2024-25 season. But, those are not end-of-the-world stats.
It's wrong to hyper-exaggerate. Crop disaster is when yields decline year after year after year. The problem with modern farming is not failed crop yields. It's too much nitrogen being used. That is the pivotal debate at present.
Even in Europe, the 2024 grape quality was defined as excellent & high, while the harvest yield was very much less than usual. For those familiar with farming, the 2024 European grape harvest was reminiscent of the usual harvest for Moroccan olives.
Even concerning the European Union olive harvest, with Spain being the top producer thereof, it was a healthy harvest in the most recent statistical reports. Those reports cover 2023.
And concerning 2023, the European Union produced ... harvested ... as many grains as in 2022, even though 2022 was a lean year. But, if you look at the charting of the EU harvest stats, it certainly is not the End of the World. If 2023 were anywhere near the hottest year in 2,000 years, we would have had failed crops all throughout at least one hemisphere of Planet Earth.

The wheat crops remained healthy. Maize was on the rebound. Oats were low. None the less, the grain harvest record for the EU, for Record High Year 2014, was at 307.9 million tonnes. The 2023 harvest was 271 million tonnes. |
England had mixed results in 2024, comprising two super excellent crop yields, one small gain in one other crop yield, and three significant crop declines. However, the low yields of three of England's crops did not trigger a famine. England was able to import grains. This means that there were healthy harvests elsewhere, and in order for there to be the declaration of a Global Climate Crisis, all nations have to be harvesting low yields.
Then comes the Southern Hemisphere, as Brazil is projected to harvest a record soy crop
Extra, extra, read all about it here. It's projected to be 172 million tons this year ... 2025 ... while the Northern Hemisphere has its Springtime. Brazil was originally projected to yield 166 tons, this year. Thus, there's no long-term climate crisis in Brazil.
There have been high yields throughout Planet Earth in 2024, as well as some low yields. After all, the world is round and its weather varies per season, per latitude, per sunspot emissions, per the state of the Equatorial ocean currents, per state of the Earth's various surfaces.
Today's inarticulate media of very low, air-headed intelligence
Today's media blames every weather event on co2. In 1901, the people who inhabited the birthplace of the Renaissance ... namely Italy ... knew that the heat came from Sirocco Winds. A Sirocco Wind is one that comes from the Sahara.
Heat in the Mediterranean has been attributed to Sahara Winds throughout the centuries. This sounds much more logical than blaming a trace gas that exists in the atmosphere at less than 1/2 of 1% and which is incapable of retaining infrared heat when it is going through a symmetric molecular dipolar vibration, concerning its two oxygen atoms. That vibrational mode thing has already been explained here, at the Blue Marble Album.
In the Summer of 2023, you witnessed a heat anomaly summer. But, you did NOT witness the hottest summer in the history of the world ... or of mankind ... or even of Italy. You did NOT witness the Planet Earth's atmosphere reaching a point of no-return. Instead, you were witnessing climate activists in search of taxpayer funding, by means of marketing fear of the End of the World. You were witnessing networks looking for high ratings, under the belief that "fear sales." You were witnessing politicians trying to get some of that $370 BILLION Congressional climate outlay into their districts before re-election time, in 2024.
Average Trends are what statistically counts
BTW, average temperatures ... where the average temperatures are in the 90s and even 100s ... do NOT constitute a heat anomaly. Thus, 111F in Baghdad is NOT an end-of-the-world climate-crisis heatwave. It's the same old same old for Baghdad. That range of July heat was ongoing in Baghdad, even before the invention of the automobile ... when the most popular form of transportation there was none other than ===> the flying carpet. And for you activists who have no sense of humor, that was the aforesaid joke.
None the less, a few hours before posting this, I was speaking to three natives of India, and once again, I was told that they are used to 100+ Fahrenheit degrees summer days. They also feel chilly in 72F weather, when a London native would feel fine. I was also reminded of the painful cold of the Himalayan region.
Plus, 97F in Dallas is NOT an anomalous heatwave that guarantees the end of the world, either. The historical monthly average in July for Dallas is 97F. And concerning Dallas in July, it's easy to see why its NFL franchise chose to hold its yearly summer camps in Oxnard California. When I was in Oxnard, one late July week, I had to turn on the motel heater in the morning, because it was chilly there during the a.m. hours in July. And in order for me to get to Chilly Oxnard, I had to drive through the Mohave Desert, during a 102 degree Fahrenheit afternoon.
Now, you know that North Africa, Arabia, the majority of India, parts of China, Arizona, Texas, Rome, Granada, Seville, Madrid, and even Wichita Kansas will be hot every summer. In fact, the historical monthly average for Wichita in July is 93F.
None the less, it's the departure from average temperatures that counts, along with the number of cities enduring heat anomalies simultaneously ... as well as the frequency, in terms of years.
It's a broad scale equation; not a narrowed one of strategically selected cities that absorb asphalt from every angle, causing the Urban Heat Island Effect. In as much, there are instances of surface temperature rise that have nothing to do with co2. It has to do with asphalt.
For now, there are people who need to see that there was NOT a widespread occurrence of record high temperature "anomalies" in July of 2023. So, take a look at the following photocopies of official temperature reports throughout the world. You will easily see that the claim of July 4, 2023 being the warmest day in 125,000 years is the next phase of lying propaganda from talentless writers, talentless UN reps, and talentless activists, as well as talentless thinkers.
Even 1980 was a blazing summer for Dallas, when the thermometers rose over 100F, for 42 consecutive days. And of course, in 1977, Athens Greece reached 117F. Meanwhile, in the year prior ... 1976 ... England saw anomaly temps and Paris underwent tragedy due to heat.
Then comes consideration of the Medieval Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period, and the Minoan Warm Period. Weather history points to the conclusion that Climate is Cyclical and CO2 is the bringer of life, in bringing forth photosynthesis. Also take note that the "Climate Activists" ignore the amount of Mercury, PM2.5, Nitrogen Oxides, Ground-Level Ozone, Benzenes, Sulfur Dioxide, etc ... which is far more important and much more technical to address. And then there is today's glut of synthetic chemicals which affects indoor life.
Incidentally, PM2.5 is Particulate Matter smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter, and its the fine particles that kill people. Well, ozone has killed, also. But, good luck finding solo stats on ozone deaths. Ozone is added to the PM2.5. Even at that, the estimate is that ozone causes about 470,000 premature deaths per year.
None the less, PM2.5 is a serious pollutant for beginners to study. Fine particulates do kill. In fact, all of you climate activists out there should transfer your studies and concerns from CO2 to PM2.5.
