Without including any name, rank, or serial number, someone wrote an insult to the intelligence of every history student in-the-know. It came in an article whose title was printed in an exaggeratively large font. Yet, just because you put a lie in really big letters, it doesn't automatically turn it into the truth.
The writer's thesis statement was that there could not have been the 2024 Mediterranean heatwave without there having been the present amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and this vague thing called "anthropogenic climate change."
The bottom line here is that the author made it sound as if there were no heatwaves of substance in Southern European & the Mediterranean Coastline until the 2010s or 2020s. The inference was that those Mediterranean heatwaves only came because of a rise in the atmospheric CO2 level.
Now, I can line-itemize a sample of the Mediterranean heatwaves beginning with the 1852 Italian heatwave ... or even the 1881 Mediterranean heatwave ... when the atmospheric CO2 level was below 290 ppm. But, without posting evidentiary support, an Al Gore follower will simply resolve in his/her mind that the line-itemized text is a lie ... a fiction ... a pro-oil-company piece of propaganda.
In this instance, newspaper article copies of the heatwaves of 1852, 1881, 1896, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1914, 1921, 1922, etc, are far more important than any lesson typewritten in 2026.
Okay then, after the mention of one blatant observation, let's let the newspaper articles do the talking, proverbially speaking.
Ye Observation of the hour:
Q: What would be the predominate source of all of the heat which is ever-so-ready to provide high temperatures to Southern Europe, depending on the direction of the wind?
ANS: The Sahara and the desert nations of Northern Africa. Concerning this, Egypt IS 95% desert. Algeria IS 80% desert. Libya is 90% desert, and Morocco is 80% desert. In fact, Tunisia is 75% desert, and those winds which carry Sahara heat into Southern Europe are known as SIROCCO WINDS.
The Sirocco Winds coming from a desert the size of the United States is the source of Southern Europe's intense summertime heat. It is NOT CO2. In as much, heatwaves in Southern Europe are NOT new editions arriving with the rise in CO2. Southern European heatwaves are as old as the Sahara Desert, itself.
Let us begin with proof that heat-related deaths, by the dozen ... in small geographic pockets ... were being reported as far back as the 1850s, when the CO2 level was approximately 142 parts per million LESS than today's CO2 level of 432 ppm. The report below is of 40 adults dying from the heat of St. Louis, on July 24, 1878:
And remember, the global weather from 1876 to 1878 was tragic, and this was when the CO2 Count was only 289 to 290 parts per million. That amounts to 141 ppm LESS than today's 431 ppm.
In review, the Little Ice Age which began around 1274 ended around 1850, resulting in the start of the Modern Warm Period. Well, by 1852, there was the reporting of a critical heatwave.
Then came the Civil War Drought which began in mid-1850s and affected the American Central Plains and West. Next came heat in the 1870s, accompanied by wildfire, the largest of which occurred in Peshtigo Wisconsin, in October of 1871.
On the exact same day, the Great Chicago Fire occurred.
Then came the heatwaves of 1878, even during the Australian Summer.
Below: Minneapolis had no winter weather during Winter of 1878
Below: Onward to Europe, in 1878, when the CO2 level was very very low, proving that Al Gore's declarative statement about CO2 being the cause of natural disasters is one big lie.
This was followed by heatwaves of 1881 and 1896, as well as other ones. In as much welcome to the Modern Warm Period which brought heat to Planet Earth's atmosphere, even when the outdoor CO2 Count was below 310, 300, and 290 parts per million.
Once again, media entities are trying to paint the picture of the world finally being overcome by deadly "greenhouse gases," where mankind must begin a Climate Dictatorship, where cattle must literally be sacrificed.
Even at that, the present ... and not predicted ... radiative forcing of co2, as of 2019, was only 2.17 watts per meter squared. The 3.7 w/m2 value is the prediction for co2, based upon its doubling of volume since the pre-industrial era. At the start of the Industrial Era, CO2's atmospheric level was 273 parts per million.
That is to say, 3.7 watts per meter squared is only the prediction for the future event when co2 finally reaches twice the level of CO2 than it had in 1750. In 1750, the CO2 level was 273, and of course, 273 times 2 = 546 ppm.
Today's co2 exists in the atmosphere at 431 or 432 ppm. So, there is about 114 ppm to go, for CO2 to finally double its 1750 volume.
If the CO2 volume rises 2 ppm per year, it would take 57 years it to have doubled since its pre-industrial level of 273 ppm. If co2's presence in the atmosphere rises at a rate of 4 ppm per year, then it would take no more than 28 years for CO2's atmospheric level to reach 546 ppm.
In light of the coal-fired power plants now operating in India and China, the idea of a rise of 4 ppm per year for CO2 is not science fiction. In light of this, is it ever possible for the radiative forcing of a molecular compound which has been in the atmosphere since the Dinosaur era to rise 70%, in merely 28 years?
Remember, there was an ice age when the CO2 level was 9 times MORE than today. That was a rise in CO2 without a catastrophic inferno ensuing. Then, when there was low CO2 in the atmosphere, there was a two-year global catastrophe of crop failure and famine. You cannot blame the 1876 tragedy on CO2 or any other greenhouse gas.
Concerning the w/m2 prediction for CO2, one can now suspect yet another error from a computer model prediction. One can now toss that computer-generated prediction into the bin with the predictions of ~the Maldives going underwater by 2018 ... ~and the glaciers at Glacier National disappearing by 2020 ... ~England turning into a Siberia by 2018 ... ~East Manhattan slightly going underwater, at least up to a human's ankles ...
... ~and the Arctic Ocean becoming ice-free during August, starting in 2014 ... ~ along with the prediction worldwide crops failures. w/ global famine, that will kill hundreds of millions of people throughout the 1970s, according the most worthless & paranoid fearmongerer of them all, the late Paul Ralph Erhlich who never saw a single one of his doomsday prophecies come true.
However, 90 to 92 years prior to Ehrlich's doomsday predictions was the GREAT GLOBAL FAMINE. It occurred between 1876 and 1878, when the CO2 Count was 290 ppm. Approximately 50-60 million deaths ensued.
1878's CO2 Count amounts to 156 ppm LOWER than today's CO2 level, and today is an era of mostly successful crop yields ... with occasional local exceptions, such as the low Italian wine grape yields of 2023 and 2024 which ended up being followed by a record high grape yield in the same land of my Italian ancestors ... okay, my Italian cousins.
Ironically & hypocritically, the most abundant greenhouse gas is WATER VAPOR which leaves behind NO CARBON FOOTPRINT.
Oh, and concerning the sea level around the Statue of Liberty's Liberty Island ... formerly known as Bedloe's Island, the rise was found to have been no more than 0.1184 inches per year which translated into about 11.8 inches per century ... or a foot a century. If you're European, that amounts to 2.79mm per year.
More important is the reminder that, until 1993, tide gauges did all the measuring of the sea level around Bedloe's Island. And ever so coincidentally, 1993 was when Al Gore became vice president of the United States.
None the less, after 1993, uncalibrated satellite usage replaced the tide gauges, and ever so coincidentally, the sea level rise spiked. It's one of those apples or oranges things. Observe the following graph, posted pursuant to 17 USC 107:
Heat Dome Science
Now, it was just reported that, in June of 2026, 18 people in France died during a 2026 heatwave. Well, it was actually during a HEAT DOME which is NOT directly attached to CO2. Such a thing is attached to a high pressure blocking system which traps air into a state of stagnation.
Moreover, France is 211,000 square miles in size. Thus, during the heat dome which is provenly NOT caused by CO2 injecting any extra heat into France, there was one death in France for every 11,722 square miles.
The amount of space covered by 11,700 sq mi is equivalent to you driving 108 miles and making a left for another 108 miles, and then another left for another 108 miles, and a final left for the final 108 miles.
Beware of Skewed Numerical Propaganda
Skewing numbers to convince mankind into submitting to your dictates is an element of fraudulent misrepresentation.
None the less, all heat deaths deserve a measure of compassion and respectfulness. The problem today is that the Climate Propagandists show disrespect for the recently dead and presently dying, by howling out propaganda which concludes that the Al Gore & the Michael Mann & the John Kerry People must now rule Planet Earth, and that we all must comply, as if the Ottoman Empire 2.0 returned to enslave & torment humanity all the more.
Now remember, intense Southern European heat, and high pressure blocking system heat has been documented in Southern Europe's media since 1881, when the CO2 level was almost the same as it was during the Italian Renaissance and French Revolution.
Now, there were the reports of ITALY undergoing an intense heatwave in 1852, according to Copernicus.eu. Yet, 1852 was a time of limited news. None the less, heatwaves are regarded by the honest as having been a part of the Mediterranean climate, all along ... and not a new occurrence, due to the rise in CO2.
Then came 1881. Now, the 1896 heatwave was an American experience. In 1901 and 1906, Europe was visted by heatwaves. Below is a 1901 news report of the New York Times.

Do you get the point, yet? Or are you irreparably brainwashed? The Nazis and Julius Streicher had nothing over the Climate Propagandists of today. It's merely the same ole same ole. Only the names of the aspiring dictators change.
