The Fort Lauderdale storm of April 2023 was NOT a 1,000 year storm. There were far more severe ones on record, in the 16th, 18th, 20th, & 21st Centuries.

Newsflash:  Florida's record rainfall within a 24-hour period did NOT occur on April 12-13, 2023, as the media and Michael Mann very falsely claimed.  That event occurred on September 5, 1950, when the atmospheric co2 level was much lower than it is today ... and when the atmospheric methane level was less than 2 parts per million, just like it is today.  On that day, it rained 38.70 inches near the Tampa area, within 24 hours of time.  

In April 2023, the Fort Lauderdale rain reached 25.6 inches.  A number of American rainstorms in the past century measure higher.  Now, you may call the Fort Lauderdal a "big storm" --- or "a really big storm."  But, it wasn't the only one in the past 1,000 years.  It's on a list of many, one of which was so severe that it literally realigned the coastline of the Netherlands.  The Ft Lauderdale rain of April 2023 was tame in comparison to many other storms of the past 1,000 years.  The Climate Doomsayer always hyper-exaggerate things to the pointing of lying about them.

Thirty years later, on November 11-12, 1980, a total of 23.38 inches of rainfall came upon the Key West international airport ... also in Florida.  In fact, up north in Pennsylvania, the rain of July 17, 1942 was regarded as the greatest amount of rainfall outside of the Tropics, to the tune of 34.5 inches rainfall.  Thus, the April 2023 rain event was not anywhere near a unique or unheard-of "thousand year storm."  

Next comes Texas.  On July 24-25, 1979, a grand total of 42 inches of rain fell upon the Houston area within a 24 hour period.  Plus, in September of 1921, 36.40 inches of rain fell on Thrall, Texas, in an 18 hour period.  An even more rapid water accumulation occurred in 1942, near the Pennsylvania-New York border.  That is when 30.70 inches of rain fell in four and a half hours. 

In addition, on July 19-20, 1997, it was at Dauphin Island, Alabama, where 32+ inches of rain fell within 24 hours of time.  Alabama also got 22-24 inches of rain on another 1997 day, also within a 24 hour period.  Prior to that time, in 1943, California received 25.83 inches of rain within a day's time.  Other states had notable amounts of rainfall within a 24 hour period, also.  Historic fact shows that the Fort Lauderdale Rain Storm of 2023 was and is NOT anywhere near a "thousand year storm." 

Yes, there were photographs of downed light-material structures that were alleged (by the media) to have been caused by the April 12-13 storm.  HOWEVER, none of the damage was able to have been caused by any strong winds.  This is because there were no strong winds there at that time.  The Broward County wind speed was very much below cyclone speed, on April 12 and 13.  

The wind speed of April 12 did not exceed 20 mph.  After 12 noon, the wind speed did NOT exceed 15 mph.  And after 6:00 pm, the wind speed did NOT go over 10 mph.  In fact, at the start of the rainfall, the wind speed was already reduced to 15 mph (miles per hour.)  By nightfall, the wind speed was reduced to a mere 9 miles per hour.   Thus, there were no winds in Fort Lauderdale to tip any highway vehicle.  Bad driving on wet roads can cause such a thing, though.

Then came the 13th of April.  The Broward County wind speed on that day did NOT exceed 10 mph.  In contrast, the historic Hurricane Camille of 1969 had winds of 175 miles per hour.  175 mph vs 10 mph.   Huge difference, indeed.  Look for yourself, to see how exaggerated the media reports on the Broward County rain have thus far been.

Now, it takes 74 mph to declare a storm a Category 1 hurricane, and it takes 96 mph to declare one a Cat 2.  Thus, the April 12th wind was 27% the speed of a Cat 1 hurricane, and only 21% of a Cat 2 hurricane.   The April 13th wind speed was only 14% the speed of a Cat 1 hurricane, and only 10% the speed of a Cat 2 hurricane.  

Even for a mild cyclone, 39 miles an hour is the wind speed needed, in order for the weather authorities to declare the existence of a Tropical Storm.  And of course, the April 12th wind speed of Ft Lauderdal was less than half the speed of a tropical storm at the start of the rain.  The speed then was only 1/4 the speed of a tropical storm, when nighttime came.  All in all, there was no wind on those two days which would cause massive destruction.  So, the burden of proof is on the media, in its claim that $100 million in damages occurred during the April 12-13 rain.  All damage would be limited to water damage ... not wind damage.

It was later claimed that damage was done to 1,100 houses.  However, included as damage costs were the days of work lost by employees of businesses affected by the rainfall.  So, remember that damage costs are NOT limited to physical damage.  Financial damage in the form of "opportunity cost" is included.  "Opportunity Cost" is better understood as "opportunity LOST."  This includes work hours lost; aka "lost wages."

Even moderate hail storms throughout history have been costly to insurance companies.  Yet, none of those storms were called "Thousand Year Storms."  I personally know what it is to return before sunset to my former seaside dwelling, after a Category 1 hurricane paid a visit to it.  In as much, the April 12-13 storm wasn't even worse than a Category 1 storm's aftermath, when viewing the media's April 2023 photography slideshow.  The lack of wind guaranteed that a massive tragedy was not going to happen there at that time.  Thus, it's fraud to call the Broward County rain of April 2023 a "thousand year storm."

As a case study for media deception, if you look through a photograph slideshow of post-rainfall Broward County, you will see one long "tractor trailer" on its side, as if a mighty windstorm blew it over.  You will also see a van on its side, as if it too were blown over by a mighty wind gust.  Well, you can see in the chart above that the April 12th & 13th wind speeds were too slow to blow over any motor vehicle.  Slick roads and bad driving, as well as slick roads and the effort to avoid bad drivers, can cause a motor vehicle or two to be turned on their sides. 

In 20-35 mph winds, the only way in which a tractor trailer is going down on its side is IF the box trailer is empty, while the truck is going around a curve, and the wind hits the truck broadside.  Remember, disastrous storms are perfect storms that have the ingredients mix all at once.  The ingredient of wind was absent on April 12 & 13 in Broward County.  It was no thousand year storm.

Moreover, there is more of a population on American coastlines today than there were in the 1920s.  There is much more coastline infrastructure in America, too.  Thus, there are all the more buildings and homes to get caught in storms.  And due to the failure of the Biden administration, prices have been jacked-upward.  This means that it costs more today to do post-storm repair work than it did 5, 10, and 15 years ago.  Such an economic fact might deceive people into thinking that the storms are worse today.  There has not yet come into existence even the rare occurrence of the Cat 6 hurricane, as was erroneously prophesied by the False Prophet, Al Gore, in his 2006 movie.  Today, it's simply a matter of things having become more expensive to fix.  That's all.

Concerning the April 2023 Fort Lauderdale Rain

The type of cloud mass which brought the rain used to be called, "an Anvil Cloud" which is ironically very dry at the top.   Today, it's called a "supercell," and such a name is an attempt to hyper-sensationalize something that has been happening throughout the centuries, only to make it sound so scary that people will demand the US Congress to shell-out billions of more taxpayer dollars to the weather & climate people who always predict doomsday, but whose doomsday predictions NEVER materialize.

Technically, such a cloud is a cumulonimbus cloud that was formed in the middle altitude of the Troposphere, but which began to grow upwards into the high altitude zone, almost to the ceiling of the Troposphere.    The ceiling is called the Tropopause, and it's actually the boundary between the Stratosphere and the Troposphere.

Even more technically speaking, a supercell is regarded as a thunderstorm which has a "mesocyclone" within it.  This means that the center of it is an updraft that travels like a cork screw.  It actually starts from horizontal wind shear which causes the corkscrew motion.  The draft then turns upside, being that low pressure rises.  The anvil shape at the top is a weather gauge, revealing the direction of the wind at high altitude.

Tornadoes can form in an anvil cloud (supercell.)  None the less, the "forward flank downdraft" is where the rain travels.  Meanwhile, the "rear flank downdraft" is where the wind unleashes.  All in all, being that supercells are "hybrid storms," they are NOT limited to one predictable type.  These are custom-built storms.

The April 12th storm wasn't deadly.  In contrast, the 1887 Yellow River Flood (Huang-Ho River Flood), in Qing China, killed 930,000+ human lives.  Plus, there were multiple catastrophic Yellow River floods throughout history, all transpiring when the atmospheric co2 level was very low.  The April 12, 2023 Fort Lauderdale rain compares to none of those floods.  The temporary flooding did NOT even rise above the height of a compact car, in April of 2023.  And then, the water dissipated very swiftly.  

There was no receding of water, being that this was wide open, unimpeded flat land.  There was run-off into guess-where.   Oceans are gigantic, and there is such a thing as low-tide.  Low Tide on April 12 was at 7:38am and 8:06pm.  On April 13, it was at 8:48am and the at 9:19pm.  Thus, April 12 saw no "1,000 year storm," or even a "50 year storm." 

 Johnstown 1889.  A true catastrophe, caused by the neglect of a dam located 15 miles northeast.   The 2023 Fort Lauderdale Rain, in comparison, was little league and harmless, being that there were no components for a disaster there. Deadly storms are perfect storms that have the needed variables for destruction.  Fort Lauderdale didn't come close to doom.  The Missoula and Palouse River Flood of 15,000 years prior was the epic flood; not Fort Lauderdale 2023.

Pennsylvania ... a place much closer to Florida than is China ... had some of the most powerful flood waters in history.  In fact, the April rain of Fort Lauderdale doesn't begin to compare with those waters.  On May 31, 1889, 1,600 Johnston buildings were simultaneously demolished and swept away, by the power of 16 million tons of water which created a 40 foot high channel of raging water, a half mile wide.  The water was traveling at 40 mph.  And it was the result of negligence; not the burning of fossil fuels.

Perhaps you have heard the claim, year after year, that "last year's level of co2 has been the highest in the past 6 million, 12 million, or whatever million years will cause shock & submission in the "little people" who never studied atmospheric science.  Well, this was true for every year since 1815.  It was true for 1915, as well as 2015.  Despite the hundreds of record-breaking co2 years, the world has not yet come to an end, and no mass extinction event occurred --- since 1815.  

Incidentally, an 1815 volcano caused the 1816 "summer that never was."  And of course, it was caused by the so2 released by the volcano ... the 13,000 foot high Mount Tambora, in Indonesia.

 Incidentally, the number 1 instantaneous killer of mankind, in terms of natural disasters, has nothing to do with the atmosphere or the oceans.  The Number 1 killer has been . . . earthquakes.  Next comes famine, and then comes floods.

The April 12th storm's biggest impact was very limited in area.

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, according to NWS prelim records.  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 & NWS (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  1700s, 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 for only one day, while the surrounding patches of land only get 2/3 to 1/2 to 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.  

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

Now, this one makes a list of 11 places that have much higher rainfall numbers.  They are simply places much nearer to the Fort Lauderdale 25 inch zone.  In fact, 5 of the 11 places contain the name Lauderdale or Lauderhill.  That's compact geography.

Now, 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 Apr 13, 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 illustrations 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 19th & 20th Centuries.  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 hours doesn't indicate any kind of trend.  Something so short in time is an event for the insurance adjuster and NOT a trend for the real estate investment firm.  

As far as goes climate indicators from real estate investors and developers, the coastlines still have the investment green-light.  There is no coastline exodus known to be occurring.  In fact, I spent ten years at the Atlantic coastline, and I repeatedly saw firsthand how the climate doomsday predictions showed no sign of materializing in any degree of reality.  The coastline real estate investors didn't see it, either.  All that I saw was . . . consumer demand for the coastline ... for the beach ... for the daytime sea breeze.  People kept coming and coming and coming some more.  There were no climate refugees needing to take flight from there.

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 inclusively & vastly came into existence, there literally was 16 and two-thirds times MORE co2 in the sky.  You need to quit doing your Al Gore impersonation of his climate-doom-coming-tomorrow routine.  It is assured that the end of your world (on this Earth) will come a whole lot sooner than will the end of "THE WORLD."

10.22 inches of rain is still only half of the 25.91 inches placed in neon lights by the Bill-Gates-friendly press.  The April 12th event was NOT a long-term, repetitive event.  Going tunnel-vision on one day's rain is defined as "the media doing some cherry picking," with the intent of terrifying school children so much so that their parents will be effected and then demand hundreds of billions of more 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, 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, the Year 2023 minus the Year 1966 = 57 years ago;  NOT 1,001.

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. 

Of all the years which can be categorized as the year of the Thousand Year Storm, it is without a doubt . . . 1931, when the atmospheric co2 level was 307 parts per million, and therefore, 73% of today's atmospheric co2 level of 424 ppm.   Rainfall from June to August, along with a build-up of silt & sediment, caused the Yangtze River Flood of 1931. Deaths directly resulting from the flood numbered 400,000+.  Deaths resulting in a dominoes-effect was an additional 2 to 3 million.

Yet, 47 years prior to the 1889 Johnstown Flood was the Indus River Valley Flood (in Pakistan).  It hosted the most disastrous flood in modern history.  It included 100 foot high flood waters.  In fact, also in 1841 was a flood on the Salisbury Plain of England, called the Great Till Flood of 1841, referring to the Till River.

Then comes the Great California Flood of 1862, when it rained from December 9, 1861 to January 20, 1862.  Flooding extended into Idaho, Washington, Nevada & Utah.  4,000 died from the flood, during a time when the atmospheric co2 level was very low and when the human population there was also low.

If you want to know of additional epic storms and/or floods in the past 1,000 years ... in comparison to the non-deadly, chump change Fort Lauderdale Rain of April 2023 ... then familiarize yourself with any or all of the following storms, and know this:  Both Michael "hockey-sticks" Mann, & David Attenborough lied every time they asserted that the weather in the past 1,000 years was mild & stable.  

BTW, if you ever see David Attenborough or Michael Mann in a restaurant or any public setting, IGNORE THEM AND LET THEM BE.  Do NOT even hurt their eardrums by yelling at them.  Write or speak in detail about their falsehoods, for the sake of those who have been deceived by these non-truth-tellers.  The following list shows that Attenborough and Mann are blatant liars, in their claim that the weather was calm for 1,000 years, before the start of the Industrial Revolution.  They should know better:

~ The Divine Winds of 1274 and then 1281 which utterly destroyed two different armadas (military fleets) of Kublai Khan;   ~the South England Flood of Feb 1287, annihilating Romney Marsh & Winchelsea;   ~the December 13,1287 St. Lucia Day Flood effecting the Netherlands;   ~the Grote Mandrenke, aka the St. Marcellus Day Flood of Jan 16, 1362, hitting England, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark;   ~the St. Felix Day Flood of Nov 5, 1530, killing 100,000+ in the Netherlands;   ~the Bristol Channel Flood of 1607 - 200 sq miles flooded and 2,000 people washed away;   ~the 1780 Philippines Typhoon, killing approx 100,000;   ~the 1824 St. Petersburg Flood (of Russia);     ~the Coringa India Cyclone of 1839, destroying 20,000 sea vessels at port and killing 300,000;   Plus . . .

~ The Heppner Flood of 1903 (Oregon);    ~ The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927;   ~ The Ohio River Flood of 1937;   ~The 1911 & the 1935 Yangtze River Floods;   ~The Yellow River Flood of 1938;   ~The Rejputana Flood of 1943;   ~the Great Appalachian Storm of 1950, impacting 22 American states;   ~Hurricane Camille, 1969;    ~the Boha Cyclone of 1970, (Bay of Bengal), killing 500,000;   ~the Bangladesh Cyclone of 1991, killing 138,000+, while effecting 10 million with homelessness.   

There are a lot more, but the above-cited are enough to get your heads out of the brainwashing machine into where Michael Mann dunked it.   These all show how the April 12 rain of Fort Lauderdale is completely chump change.  It doesn't even rank ... rate ... count.  

It's just that the Michael Mann People were looking for a "scare," in light of their recent prophesies of doom failing; namely those of an apparently healthy & exotic Australia and a replenished American West.  This is why ... in my opinion ... you now hear the petty report of added occasions of air turbulenceee in modern aviation, allegedly being caused by the 1 part per 8,000 parts increase in atmospheric co2 over the past 125 years.  Do you mean to tell me that that's the best Michael Mann and Al Gore can do, in scaring mankind into submission?  

Below here is a world record rainfall video that mentions many heavy storms and NASA data tampering, as well as droughts and heat waves that made many a newspaper:

The New Fear-Mongering Tactic of the Media

The media continues to deceive the civilian body politic, presenting a new climate deception as soon as the current one gets exposed or fades away with no lasting impact.  For example, as of May 2023, the media started reporting that the extremely small amount of co2 in the sky is causing more air turbulence with airline flights.  The simple answer to this assertion is that there are far far far more airliners in the sky today, everyday, than there were 30, 60, and 90 years ago . . . except during WWII bombing.  Therefore, there is going to be more encounters with air turbulence.

Now, being that I am the son of an airman who paid Adolph Hitler 35 unfriendly visits in a B-24, I can testify that he told me ... in the 1970s ... that air turbulence during a bombing mission was a common thing.  This was told by him during a civilian airliner flight in the 1970s, when the airliner encountered a few seconds of turbulence, thereby frightening everyone on board except him.  His fear was NOT air turbulence.  His fear was that of the guns firing from the Focke-Wulf 152s and the ME 262s in the German sky, as well as flack fired out of 88mm and 128mm German cannon barrels.

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 Fire Stats, as well as the climate refugee predictions about an Australia that has recently been replenishing quite well, thank you.  

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, above-water 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 month of 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 straight-line distance from New York City to Omaha, Nebraska ... and then from Omaha to South Padre Island, Texas ... and then from South Padre Island to Miami ... and then from Miami to New York. 

The size of the Arctic is 5.5 million sq miles.  That is equal to flying from Boise Idaho to Boston ... and then from Boston to Panama City, Panama ... and then westward, from Panama City, for 2,340 miles ... and then north, for 2,340 miles, to Boise Idaho.

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 American acreage charred by forest fires.  Thus, while Hitler was ripping through Europe, forest fires were ripping through the American West.

You need to understand that Michael Mann utterly failed in his apocalyptic prediction about Australia.  It did NOT become a land vacated by climate refugees, as he confidently predicted  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 weather conditions bringing back the return of profitable Australian ski resorts. 

Then came the failure of the 2022 predictions of "a prolonged American drought," "added forest fire devastation," and "record heat."  The 2022 doomsday predictions literally got washed away and "whited out" by means of early 2023's rainfall, snowfall, and snowpacks in the American West.  This all happened as soon as La Nina ended.  (See: ENSO.)  

Moreover, the record snowfall in England ... and in Japan, along with record cold in one part of China .. showed the relief that was granted by nature to have had a global effect.  Meanwhile, the accompanying replenishment of American dams also made Michael 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 were the climate doomsayers in their 2022 drought & excessive heat predictions for 2023 and beyond, take a look at:

Would be nice to have a government that doesn't constantly lie to its People

Certain individuals are calling Jim Hansen a prophet, even though 100% of his climate predictions failed. This included the Maldives going underwater by 2018, as well as lower Manhattan being perpetually submerged by water, at least up to ankle height, or car tire height, or similar.  

"They" did this praising of Hansen, so that they could cash in on a lot of Congressional funding.  They lied to get lots of taxpayer dollars.  In fact, almost everything predicted by the climate doomsters since the late 1960s failed to come true. After all, the number of 95F+ days significantly decreased.  Crop yields have been mostly healthy, with exceptions of course.  Deaths due to natural disasters declined tremendously.  The wildfire count is much lower than in the first-half of the 20th Century.  The Arctic has not come close to being ice free.   Etc.  Etc.  Etc.

In re:  The above chart. The most amount of Arctic Ice volume was in 1979.  Needless to say, the present powers-that-be in the United States use 1979 at the starting point in their Arctic Ice Volume graph.  This deceives the common layman into assuming that 1979 was an ordinary year, and that co2 caused Arctic Ice to get trapped in a one-way runaway ice melt.  That's a falsehood.

Concerning Jim Hansen, all that ever-so-coincidentally happened was that government charts & graphs of the 1990s and turn of the Millenium were altered.  An excuse was given.  That topic would take up the space of two posts.  None the less, in the first week of November 2023, I was speaking in person to a Northern Indian native of the Himalayan region.  After I said, "I guess that the glaciers there are shrinking."  His answer literally was "Getting bigger."  

I remained low-key composed after learning, once again, that our government & media lies and lies and lies again and again to Americans.  In my emotional silence, I thought to myself, "It figures."  After all, in all my studies, the media & government has been caught lying about every topic I've researched thus far.  The Himalayan glaciers will apparently follow suit.  

I regarded the Himalayan glaciers as the final frontier in climate studies, in as far as concerns verifying or debunking all the things claimed by Gore, Mann, Hansen, and the fairytale story teller, David Attenborough.  BTW, Attenborough is advanced in years.  After all, he was born in 1926.  So, leave him alone.  Don't confront him, etc.   All that is necessary is that you know he was quite the lying con artist, in his day.  You then move-on.    

               Below:  The pertinence here is that, exactly after the heat of 1958 subsided, "the decline" that Michael Mann hid ... with his math trick ... began.  The 1960s and 1970s were filled with very cold and chilly weather.  Yet, a few heated years still existed within that time frame, such as 1976 which was a tragic year for Paris.  In fact, in the following year, Athens reached 117F.  But, for the most part, the Arctic Ice Extent numbers increased, and the stereotypical cold winter weather prevailed for a couple or so decades after the news article below stated that the weather was getting warmer.  Plus, it was seen as a Good Thing, in 1954, due to the outrageous cold historic events which occurred during WWII.
In review, the Atlantic would soon cool down thereafter, and sea ice would increase and then decrease and then increase the most in 1979.  But, the Biden Administration kept the Truth away from humanity.  The Biden Presidency was a presidency of lies.

As a reinforcement of learning, here is a chart that concurs with the reality that there were low-volume (low-cover) Arctic ice years before the high volume ice year of 1979.  Thus, it has NOT been a one-way decrease of ice into nothingness, as the Al Gore people would want you to believe.  Climate is cyclical, like a roller coaster:

The pink-shaded part is the part that the Biden Administration no longer showed the People.  None the less, Arctic Ice cover was low (at times) even before the "Global Warming" Scare began.  Showing this chart to the public would negate the entire hysteria of it all. 

The Biden Administrators couldn't bring themselves to let the People of America be at Peace.  "They" had to keep the People in a state of fear, so that "they" would not lose power.   This is why Michael Crichton wrote, A State of Fear

The irony is that 77.3 million Americans couldn't tolerate the Lies of the Biden Shadow Presidency.  Politicians who thought that they would remain in power through lies lost power because their lies.

Let's also address the altered Forest Fire Chart of the less-than-honest Biden People.  Today, that chart begins with the year of the least number of forest fires ... 1983.  Thus, the Biden People make it look as if 1983 were an average year, and all the other years to follow had doom-ridden increases of fire ... presumably caused by increased atmospheric CO2.  However, CO2 was far less in the atmosphere, when burnt fire acreage exceeded 40 million acres per year.  In as much, I would like to introduce you to the true United States forest fire acreage chart which has NO CORRELATION to any level of CO2 and which came long before the very dishonest Biden Shadow Presidency.

Speaking of liars, there is also the matter of Michael Mann claiming to be the co-winner of the Nobel Prize.  Concerning this, it was NOT the Nobel Prize in Science that he claimed to have co-won.  He claimed to be the co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

None the less, the following link will take you to the video which will show you that the Nobel Foundation does NOT recognize Michael Mann as the winner or co-winner of any kind of Nobel Prize.  This illustrates that Michael Mann is nothing more than a lying con artist who has no problem absorbing American taxpayer dollars ... like a vacuum cleaner ... on steroids.  You are living in the Age of Climate Racketeering.

See & Hear:  A representative of the Nobel Foundation emphatically stating that Michael Mann NEVER won or co-won any type of Nobel Prize

The Next Total Falsehood from the Climate Nazi Klan:  London Fires. 

The following chart comes from the London Fire Brigade.  It shows that the number of yearly fires in the 610 square mile range of Greater London has decreased significantly.  The significant DECREASE occurred, while atmospheric CO2 levels consistently increased.  In fact, it was the Year 2014 when the London Fire Brigade officially announced that present London Area fires have dwindled in number to almost half of the number of fires in the 1980s & 1990s, per year.  

However, in 2022, a few liar journalists claimed that rising CO2 levels caused an untold number of fires to ignite London.  Very False.  The number of London Area fires SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED throughout the exact same time span when co2 levels were incrementally rising.  The London Area fires also DECREASED, while the London Area population increased by 1.3 million people, since the Year 2000.

Keep in mind that this chart was officially released by and through the London Fire Brigade.

This shows that there is NO CORRELATION between co2 levels and British fires, as well as population increase and British fires.   Liar journalists should be fired and sued for the intentional infliction of emotional distress.  Scaring schoolchildren endlessly is a form of child abuse.  It's the molestation of a schoolchild's mind.

In order to put things into perspective, know that Oxygen, Nitrogen, & Argon comprise 99.93% of the atmosphere ... minus the percentage of water vapor in the air.  NOT much room left for much of anything else.  

I repeatedly asked people, as a poll, what percentage of the atmosphere is co2.  The majority said "30%."  Only one person got the question almost correct.  He was in Chicago, where I experienced the coldest temperatures in my life ... and I worked during -30F wind chills in Pennsylvania, and I endured brutal cold in Massachusetts. 

Well, everything that needed to be said was spoken in the facial expressions of the people who realized that they have been severely deceived by an orchestrated con game.  They instantly saw things differently as soon as they learned that CO2 is only 416 parts per million ... 42 parts per 100,000 ...  4.2 parts per 10,000 ...  1 part per 2,403.   

Meanwhile, nitrogen exists at 1,874 parts per 2,403.  Oxygen exists at 504 parts per 2,403.  Argon exists at 22 parts per 2,403 ... vs 1 part per 2,403 for carbon dioxide.

Think further:   If CO2 were a group of sports fans at Rose Bowl Stadium, CO2 would only occupy 42 seats.  Nitrogen would occupy 78,000 of the seats.  Oxygen would occupy 21,000 of the seats, and Argon would occupy 930 of the seats.  In addition, Methane would only occupy one seat every FIVE Rose Bowl games.  Methane presently exists at 1.909 parts per million; basically 2 parts per million ... 1/500,000.   Once again, remember:  You are living in the Age of Climate Racketeering.
 
We return to Arctic Sea Ice.  As was previously mentioned, the year of the MOST arctic sea ice was 1979.  Needless to say, this is the year of the starting date for the Biden People.  That's where the altered charts and graphs begin.   HOWEVER, Arctic sea ice was very low in the 1930s and in some of the years of the 1970s.  Plus, 1954 was a low-ice year.  And let us not forget the extreme Arctic Ice loss reported in 1922, exactly one hundred years ago.  There is much more Arctic Ice today than there was in 1922.

All in all, starting the sea ice chart at the year of the most accumulated ice accomplishes a predictable deception.  It made it appear that the recent decline of sea ice were a never-before seen phenomenon.  Yet,  that depth of decline already occurred in the 1930s & 1970s (after man landed on the moon with technology advanced enough to detect Arctic sea ice volume.)  Those two decades are not too far off in time.

The great mystery is how long will the politicians and their accomplices think that they can deceive all of mankind?  The evidence proving them liars is blatant.  The only trick is to hide the evidence from the People.  It didn't universally work.  Some people made copies of the evidence.

At this point, remember how confident everyone was on the "Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction."  It was ALL an illusion ... a costly illusion ... a deadly illusion.

Climate IS cyclical, like a roller coaster.

January 16, 2025

2022 was the Year of the Great Deja Vu of 1922

Concerning the claim of 2022 being the year of doomsday heat: {1} Australia went through record cold weather in June of 2022, and two of the three sectors of the Great Barrier Reef were reported to have replenished very successfully.  The third sector was dinner for hungry crown-of-thorn starfish.  {2}   In fact, Australia enjoyed one type of record crop yield in 2022, while enjoying a record high yield in another type of crop in 2021 (already covered at the Blue Marble Album.) {3} Ireland reported record crop yields for 2022, as in:

https://www.farmersjournal.ie/record-yields-puts-harvest-2022-at-an-estimated-2-42m-tonnes-736275

and

https://www.growtrade.ie/record-yields-for-many-crops-in-ireland-in-2022/ 

{4} Brazil went through record cold weather in May 2022.  {5} The Midwest of the United States went through record cold in October of 2022.  {6} And in the middle of November 2022, the South Pole went through back-to-back-to-back record cold temperature days, thereby negating the claim that Antarctica is on a crash-course to catastrophic ice melt and a sea level rise that will drown humanity.   In fact, Antarctica had the coldest Winter in its recorded history as recently as 2021.  Observe the most recent news from Antarctica, as of November 2022:

This Stefano Di Battista is not to be confused with the jazz musician who has the same name.

But of course, the focus was on the heated areas of Planet Earth, during the SUMMER of 2022.  The fact is that the equally hot summers of 1900, 1901, 1903, 1910, 1911, 1913, 1921, 1922, 1931, 1934, 1935, and 1936 all transpired when the atmospheric co2 level was much lower than today; at only 296 to 309 parts per million.  That is 108 to 121 parts per million LESS than today.  In fact, during the heatwave years of 1871, 1878, and 1896, the co2 level was even lower.  So, how could co2 be the cause of heat waves during heat waves that transpired while the co2 level was too low to effect a change?   Cirrus clouds have more heat retaining capacity than does co2, and water vapor is 90% of all greenhouse gases.  Thus, water vapor is the determinant greenhouse gas, and it's carbon-free.

Meanwhile, the 1880s, the 1940s, the 1960s, and the 1970s were generally perceived as "Decades of Cooling."  The 1910s, the 1920s, the 1950s and the 1990s were regarded as half-and-half.  For example, 1921 and '22 were ferociously hot years, while 1928 & 1929 saw some of the coldest winter weeks in history.  And of course, the 1930s were years of ferocious warming and even drought, as were the 1870s, a decade that transpired shortly after the end of the Mini Ice Age.

In sequence, 2012 was a year of heat waves.  Yet, 2014/2015 gave humanity the coldest winter in 40 years.  And 2015 was the record year of the most Antarctic sea ice extent.  Then came heat in 2016, followed by cold blasts in 2017 & 2018, followed by heat yet again.  Once again, over and over again, climate has been shown to be cyclical, like a roller coaster.

The bottom line is that the media and grant-seeking scientists stated that the weather of 2022 was "unprecedented."  They are complete liars.  The events of 2022 were very precedented.  It all happened before, tragic time and tragic time, again and again ... all when co2 levels were very low.  Casualties were still high, despite the low co2 count.  Far more people died during natural disasters in 1922 than in 2022 and several other years combined.

https://realclimatescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Image-1037-1-1019x1024.png
CO2 was 304 ppm --- 113 ppm LESS than today.  This typhoon killed 50,000-100,000.

Plus, on September 13, 1922, El Azizia Libya was reported to have undergone the hottest temperature ever  measured on the surface of the Earth, at 136.4 Fahrenheit --- 58 "Centigrade."  That temperature was put into doubt, being that El Aziza is 520 feet above sea level, in semi-arid land.  However, the Jabal Nafusah mountains (located northwest) are 2,500 feet high, and this translates into the Adibiatic Heating phenomenon called the Santa Ana Winds, the Chinook Winds, and the Foehn winds.  

Such winds come from "Orographic lifting" which renders an air parcel (air quantum) dry, when the air reaches a mountain top.  Then, as the air parcel (air quantum) travels down the "leeward side" of the mountain, it compresses, it heats-up, and this process results in the sudden arrival of high temperatures at the lower surfaces of the Earth.  In Libya, they are called, Ghibi Winds.  So, that particular 1922 temperature reading has credibility too it.  In fact, in 1923, the same region recorded a 135F temperature, when the co2 level was at 304 ppm; 113 ppm LOWER than today.

Despite the obvious cycle of climate between 1922 and 2022, the refrain was sung once again ... by the usual singing suspects, namely the less than factual Al Gore and the less than honest Michael Mann.  Once again, youths are being used as useful idiots.  History does repeat itself ... far too often.   

Yes, mommy and daddy won't buy into the con game.  So, schools get invaded by a predictable con artist politician bearing a very non-factual movie that told the children that massive flooding and Category 6 hurricanes would invade their homes, if they did not follow an Al Gore who was caught expending outrageous amounts of electricity at one palatial domicile, alone.  In the end, the children get recruited, in place of mommy and daddy.  And all that you have to do, to make it happen, is turn teaching into the dissemination of propaganda.   It's the Hitler Youth, all over again.

Gore's energy-consuming hypocrisy goes as follows:

      "The Associated Press reviewed the Gores’ energy bills and reported that the family consumed 191,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006. This was considerably more than the amount of electricity used by the typical house in Nashville, about 15,600 kilowatt-hours a year.

       An older version of the e-mail claimed that "Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359." That figure was just about right, according to the numbers crunched by the AP."

 Take a free look at:   https://www.factcheck.org/2009/06/al-gores-mansion/ 

Of course, in all of the propaganda that transpired, the teachers forgot to tell the students that the $31 TRILLION debt accrued by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, all the "going-green" myna birds, and the military industrial complex is debt for the youth to pay ... in maybe 62 to 93 to 124 to 186 years.  Or else all Americans will be caught in the middle of the nationally catastrophic bankruptcy of a worthless dollar, all caused by big mouths who were constantly given sound byte time on commercial & subscription television.

The accruing of an outrageously high debt was either an ongoing act of incompetency or outright theft done under the guise of lawfulness.  In either way, the youths pay, while the co2 level keeps on rising, anyway.  

Meanwhile, the politicians ignore the true enemies of Life on Earth, namely Mercury, Sulfur Dioxide, Lead, and  even forms of fly-ash, along with those synthetic (high volume production) chemicals not yet under the laboratory scrutiny of the Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act.  For those unfamiliar, the Lautenberg Act is as effective as a band-aid in a four car collision.

Next to be addressed is the commercial media networks' claim that mankind has to aggressively rid the atmosphere of the industrial "carbon footprint."  You need to understand the following facts:  The Earth's atmosphere is already at least 99.93% carbon-free.  The atmosphere is made of 

[1] 78% carbon-free Nitrogen, [2] 21% carbon-free Oxygen, [3] 0.93% carbon-free Argon.

                                                               MINUS  

        The prevailing amount of carbon-free water vapor which ranges from 0.1% to %4.

The same atmosphere additional contains minute amounts of Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, and Xenon, all of which are carbon-free.  And of course, 90% of all greenhouse gases (by volume) is the carbon-free water vapor which comprises as much as 4% of the atmosphere in the Tropics, while comprising very low amounts in deserts such as Antarctica and the Sahara.

Do you detect the con game that has been played with humanity since 2006?  2006 was the year of the first Al Gore movie which was an insult to the intelligence of anyone even slightly familiar with Atmospheric Physics ... especially in what was falsely said about Lake Chad.

At this point, keep in mind that Cirrus Clouds have more infrared heat retention capacity than does the trace gas co2.  Also keep in mind that it is generally understood that, if the man-made compound, Sulfur Hexaflouride gets mass marketed, then there will be a dreadful measure of man-made Global Warming.  Sulfur Hexaflouride is a world apart from co2, in heat retaining capability, because it's so stable.  In review, CO2 is fine.  Sulfur Hexaflouride is potential grief.  Period.

CO2 easily becomes plant food, tree refreshment, and phytoplankton subsistence.  Thus, it will not build-up to the point of disaster, any time soon.  And 417 ppm is not anywhere near the End of the World.  After all, Venus and Mars have co2 levels at 965,000 ppm & 953,000 ppm.  Meanwhile, CO2 is in great demand on Planet Earth, because it empowers nature's oxygen-making machines ... and because it is the key to photosynthesis.  The co2 levels of Venus & Mars prove that there is no life on those two planets.  There's nothing on those planets that consumes co2 and changes it into another molecular structure.

File:Venus from Mariner 10.jpg File:Hubble's Closest View of Mars in 60,000 Years- August 27, 2003.jpg

Back to Planet Earth:  Now, 2022 was proclaimed to be the hottest, most ice-dissolving year of them all, by media members who have no experience in atmospheric physics or meteorology or geology or in working outdoors for decades ... or in being honest.  The untrained folk with microphones and computer keyboards used the word, "unprecedented."  They claimed like faithful Nazi Party members who do not allow dissent that never before in the history of mankind have the weather events of 2022 been seen.  Well, for starters, try the Year 1922 .... one hundred years prior.   One certainty is that there was much more Arctic Ice in existence today, in 2022, than there was in 1922.  In fact, 1922 actually was the Great Melt-down.

In addition, the Years 1910 & 1911 were also far worse than 2022, as is illustrated in a previous post, with photos of 1910 & 1911 newspaper articles included.  The Year 1913 brought record heat, in fact, until 1922 broke it.

And then there was the trio of 1934 to 1936, with 1934 having been declared by NASA to have been the worse drought year in 1,000 years.  In sequence, the Year 1936  hosted the hottest Summer of the 20th Century --- far worse than anything that the 21st Century thus far had to offer, including the heatwave year of 2012, 2016, and the overly exaggerated 2022.

Observe the examples below which prove this to be very true about the Years 1922 & 1923, as well as 1923 & 1925.  We begin with the 1923 news report that Glacier National Park was melting at a rapid rate.  At the time, the prediction was that all of the glaciers at Glacier National were going to be melted-away, by the Year 1948.   It was an ongoing false prophecy.   The most recent failed prediction was that the glaciers were going to be gone by 2020.  They are still there.  
 
 None the less, the articles posted below show the severity of heat during the 1920s.  This shows that it is a complete falsehood to claim that there were no severe heat years until recently.  The heat and the forest fires were far worse in the 1870s, 1890s, 1901, 1910, the 1920s, and the 1930s.  As far as go droughts, the worse ones were in the later part of the 19th Century in addition to 1934.  
 
And as far as goes the worst flood year, it would be 1927, for sure.  Yet, in the same 1927, there was also a brutal drought.  In as much, on a planetary globe that is tilted at its axis, one man's drought is another man's flood.  
 
And then there is the matter of the worse of winters.  That was definitely the Winter of 1880-1881.  There was also the Great Blizzard of 1888.  The 1880s did not have the heat experienced in the 1870s and 1890s.  The Winter of 1928-'29 was brutally cold, too.  The winters of the 1960s were physically painful events, as well.  I should know.  I was there.  The 1970s were painfully cold times, too.  I was there, too.  Thus, climate is cyclical.

 
Needless to say, newspaper archives of decades and centuries past contain the evidence which shows that the recently altered climate graphs and charts of the U.S. government are outright fraudulent misrepresentations.  
 
The government has a conflict of interest here, being that members of governments throughout the world advocate imposing "the carbon tax" upon humanity.  Thus, their "sales pitch" is that there never was weather like the weather of 2022, when the truth is that many years were far worse --- and when the truth is also that 2022 was greatly exaggerated.  Yet, 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume, is Water Vapor.  Water Vapor has no carbon footprint.  So, why put a carbon tax on air that is 99.93% carbon-free?
 
In review, the atmosphere is 78% carbon-free Nitrogen, 21% carbon-free Oxygen, and 0.93% carbon-free Argon.  This equals a 99.93% carbon-free atmosphere.  Do you sense a scam amongst the Carbon Tax Lobbyists, yet?  No?  Well, enjoy paying the massive national debt that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer dumped on you.  In fact, even enjoy the day when, suddenly, the American dollar will no longer have value.  After all, when you keep printing dollars, you keep devaluing dollars, and you can't get lower than the number ZERO.  
 
So, have fun in all the chaos to ensue, all because you listened to Al Gore, Michael Mann, and Nancy Pelosi, as well as other people who were not fit for leadership posts.  There is a difference between being a leader and being in power.  Non-leaders in power always abuse their power and pocket large sums of money in the process. 
 
The Year 2022 brought nothing new; not even the predictable con artist media personalities who told the citizenry yet another science fiction horror story, all the while neglecting to tell the public that the Year 2022 also had record cold temperatures within it, along with a restored Great Barrier Reef.  Huge news.  But not for the con artists. 

All of this coincides with the presidency of known liar, Joe Biden.  For the record, his lies, as much as his public hair-sniffing, are on video ... and on film.  This was especially the case during the 1988 presidential campaign, when Joe Biden became Liar Extraordinaire.  Only later did he become Hair-Sniffer Extraordinaire.

All of this also coincides with the $174 million worth of grant dollars given to a multiplicity of media outlets, compliments of none other than Mr. Microbe ... Bill Gates.  My!  What a coincidence!  BTW, take a look at:  

                   Bill Gates rigging the media at a discount price of 174 million "grant" dollars.

All in all, in 1922 and 1923, it was reported that the Arctic was melting severely.  Well, Arctic Ice replenished in the 1960s and 1970s, indicating that climate IS cyclical, and not at all driven by the trace gas co2 ... or by methane which only exists at 2 parts per million in the atmosphere ... or by nitrous oxide (N2O) which exists at ONE part per THREE million.
 

Keep in mind that this is the report of 1922 ... NOT 2022.  There is much more ice on Earth today than there was in 1922, when the atmospheric co2 level was no more than 304 parts per million.  Today, co2 is at 417 parts per million.  

When I polled people, asking them what percentage of the atmosphere is CO2, the common response was, "I would say 30%."  They were only off by 29.95%.  Only one person gave me an answer that was almost correct, concerning the co2 level, and that was while I was in Chicago.  One person east of Ohio, incidentally, gave the answer of 70%.  Yet, he was a very rational person who assumed that the level had to be ridiculously high or else Al Gore wouldn't have been obsessively harping about it for decades.  

None the less, the visual aid which helps the co2 count be understood is the one which compares the various atmospheric molecules to a Rose Bowl audience.  In as much, if the atmosphere's constituents were Rose Bowl fans, 78,000 of them would be Nitrogens.  21,000 of them would be Oxygens.  930 of them would be Argons, and only 42 of them would be CO2.  

As far as goes methane, there would be one methane for every FIVE Rose Bowl stadiums.  Methane is only 2 parts per million in Planet Earth's Troposphere.  That's it.  N2O is only one part per THREE million, in the same Troposphere.  That amounts to one nitrous oxide molecule for every 30 Rose Bowl stadiums.

This shows the failure of the commercial media and the American public school system, as well as Al Gore, Bill Nye, Michael Mann, and Bill Gates.  Then again, it shows the success of those people spreading misinformative and disinformative propaganda, thereby deceiving anyone too lazy to read & check things for himself/herself.   Add to the contributors of disinformation certain personnel of the United Nations who are simply trying to con American government officials out of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

In addition, when Obama's EPA chief was asked the percentage of atmospheric co2 during a congressional hearing, she did not know the answer.  This is beyond pathetic.

The journalists' ironic contradiction

A great irony in co2 climate reports is that one type of journalist describes co2 as causing humid and sweltering days, while another type of journalist describes co2 as causing hot, brittle dryness.  So, which one is it, journalists?  In can't be both.  In fact, there are weather disasters which require low pressure systems, and there are weather disasters which require high pressure systems.  So, which one does co2 cause?  It can't be both.  As you can see, when it comes to scientific details, journalists are not on the same page with each other. 

Moreover, in 1922, there were official reports that amounted to far less Arctic ice in 1922 than in 2022.  After all, in the middle of September 2022, when the Arctic Summer came to a close, there was still 1.8 MILLION square miles of ice remaining in the Arctic Ocean.  In 1922, there was a scarce amount of ice up to the 81st parallel.    

As a reference point or two, the North Pole is the 90th Parallel, while Helsinki and Oslo are near the 60th parallel, with Moscow being near the 56th Parallel.  Stockholm is near 60 degrees parallel, also.  Thus, 1922 was the Great Meltdown, when co2 was only at 304 ppm (parts per million).  Therefore, co2 did NOT cause the Meltdown of 1921, 1922, & 1923.  Nor did it cause the heatwaves of 1871, 1878, 1896, 1901, 1910, etc.  Therefore, it didn't cause the heatwaves of 2012 or 2022, either.   Water Vapor is the Greenhouse Gas that rules Planet Earth, and it has ZERO carbon-footprint.  After all, Planet Earth IS the Water Planet, so do the math on this one.

https://americandigest.org/arctic-temperature-zone-adt-1922.jpg

The truth is that, if you want to go green, then increase the level of atmospheric CO2.  It's quite simple.  It simply doesn't make as much money as does claiming that CO2 is going to wipe out humanity, unless you give hundreds of millions of dollars to Al Gore.  Meanwhile, hundreds of billions of United States taxpayer dollars were appropriated to those activists and "scientists" who found favor with Al Gore, compliments of congressional "leaders" who dwell in mansions and who do all so exceptionally well in their stock investments.  What a coincidence that the most successful investors are U.S. congressional members!!!  But of course, no insider trading is permitted.  Or is it?

"They" are now claiming that Autumn leaf colors will weaken, due to co2.

From the Climate Whistleblower Corner of the Anti-Brainwashing Unit.  Autumn 2023.
Look at the leaves on the ground, there.  They are very red, and this is an Autumn 2023 photo.  It looks like the PBS  people aren't the masters of knowledge that they make themselves out to be.  Incidentally, there are a dozen  natural setting photos below, along with two city photos ... to prove a point.
 Recently, PBS claimed that the increase in atmospheric co2 will be causing autumn leaves to be dull & lackluster in color, from henceforth.  Well, the first asininity of the PBS editors is that co2 is the reason why generations of trees came into existence, in the first place.  Do you actually think that a co-factor in the creation of trees is the simultaneous killer of trees, in sending them off, into a slow undoing?  Life on Earth is a matter of cycles.  Tree leaves follow a cycle.  Meanwhile, climate on Earth is a cycle.

All that an increase in co2 does to leaves is causes them to be produced with less stomate.  CO2 enters a plant through the stomate.  Less stomate means that the plants and trees aren't starved for CO2.
November 2023.  Leaf colors haven't faded in the rain ... or in the co2 which only comprises 0.042% of Earth's atmosphere.
The second asininity of today's PBS editors is this:  Autumn leaf color will only be weaker than it was decades prior if and only if the Summertime leaf colors of the exact same year are also weak.  However, if you do want to find out if PBS is telling the truth, then simply go outside next autumn and look at all the trees yourself.  You do not need a heavily funded scientist to tell you what you are seeing.

In the early 2020s, in the entire 2010s, and in the years surrounding the turn of the Millenium, satellites and humans ... as well as wildlife ... saw very green leaves throughout Planet Earth.  In fact, NASA officially reported that the rise in co2 made the Earth greener.  Very green summertime leaves result in very colorful autumn leaves.  All that PBS can do is brainwash you into thinking that the new autumn leaves you will be seeing just aren't as colorful as they were when you were a kid.  It's all a brainwashing technique.  Been there.  Done that.  Nothing new about this approach.

One more very important point:  The more the co2 that is in the atmosphere, the less the water that is needed by the vegetation on Earth.  See:  Stoma or Stomatae --- Photorespiration --- C3 Plants such as rice, soybean, spinach, tomatos --- C4 Plants such as sorghum, maize, sugar cane, yams.

In addition, undoctored photos of recent Autumns can prove or disprove the most recent climate assertion made by the mainstream media.  So, what happens when the undoctored Autumn photos of 2024, 2025, and 2026 show vivid Autumn landscapes?   If that occurs, then PBS will have to find a new way to drain the life out of all the schoolchildren of America and make them relentlessly feel dread.
Autumn & its non-faded colors, 7 years after the Al Gore movie told us that co2-driven climate doom had arrived.  If I'm still on Earth, and if that building is still there, I can photograph it next autumn, to see if there has been much change since 2013.

The media apparently does not realize how annoying this type of report is to the common working man.  In fact, the media doesn't realize how annoying their obsession with climate indoctrination is.  Every year is declared the hottest year ever.  The vast majority of temperature reports come from heavily asphalted venues where jet engines, in all their heated glory, rule.  Why don't the radio stations report the temperature of nearby grasslands or woods?  After all, asphalt is the Number 1 retainer of solar heat.  Therefore, at present, radio stations are only reporting on the Urban Heat Island Effect.

The extremely high amount of forest fires in the late 1920s, entire '30s, and early '40s were deleted from the fire frequency graph, during the Biden Administration years, while youths --- whose only reality is the cell phone --- deny that massive acreage burned during the Roaring Twenties, the Dust Bowl Days, and at the start of WWII.    The new graph starts at 1983.  That is the year of the least forest fires in American record-keeping history.  Thus, the Bidens wanted to deceive us all into thinking that 1983 was an average year ... and that all of the following years had a trend of rising wildfire frequency, due to the burning of fossil fuels.

Certain collegiate youth, in their school-board-certified delusions, were bolsterous enough to claim ... even in writing ... that the high number of yearly fires of the first half of the 20th Century never existed.  Well, these youth are the true deniers of reality & textbook material.  Needless to say, these climate deniers were too foolish to realize that the newspapers, magazines, logs, coroner registries, county building administrators, and almanacs of the Forest Fire Era all reported on the vast amount of American acreage that was burning.  That knowledge was NOT hidden from humanity.  So, you cannot deny such a truth as widespread as the one which reminds humanity that there were significantly more wildfires of the United States in the first half of the 20th Century.  

Add proxy evidence to the forest fire equation.  This includes the forests that were newly formed in the late '20s, the entire '30s, and the early '40s.  As a note, keep in mind that the end of one forest, due to fire, is instantly the beginning of another forest.

Enlightening video:  Why certain naturally occurring wildfires are necessary --- TED-Ed

As an example of the many droughts & famines that did occur during the centuries when the outdoor co2 count was much lower than today, the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society published the following paper: 

The abstract of a peer reviewed paper:  Climate and the Global Famine of 1876-78

Now for Antarctica

Then came the  Winter of 2023 and the claim that Antarctica was experiencing an "extreme melting" event that hasn't happened in the past seven million years.  Apparently, the people who published this claim didn't realize that this was during the time of the year when there is no sun in the Antarctic sky, to melt anything.   This has been the most asinine and buffoonish lie told thus far by the climate hysterical society.

Winter in Antarctica is the long-term time of darkness, when the sun is never seen above the horizon.  In fact, some of the 2023 Antarctic Doom news articles were accompanied  by daylight photos of partially melted ice in a body of water.  Well, those were not photos of Antarctica in the Winter of 2023 or during any other Antarctic Winter.  This is because there is no daylight in Antarctica, during its winter months.  Antarctic winter photos are photos of darkening twilight and extended nighttime.  Con artists aren't very smart; especially the young ones brainwashed by Al Gore, Michael Mann, and the American Public School System.

That which made this the most sick joke thus far is the fact that, in 2021, two years prior to the doomsday report, Antarctica had its coldest winter in recorded history.  In order to understand why it gets so cold at the Poles, look-up Circumpolar Vortex.  If you learn at least the basics of atmospheric science, you won't go through life with a sense of dread.  You'll see that the Climate Hysteria people hyper-exaggerate, in their changed charts and graphs, as they erased any statistic that destroyed the co2-global-warming narrative --- that disproved Al Gore's theory of total planetary control by a molecular compound that amounts to 0.042% of the Earth's atmosphere.

Florida was the destination for another climate con game

The climate hysteria people then reported the temperature of Florida Everglade water that spills into the ocean near the Hwy 1 Bridge to Key Largo.  They never mentioned that the true ocean water was literally 15 degrees Fahrenheit COLDER than was the Florida Everglade water.  

Then comes long-term adulterer Charles III who long-ago predicted the End of Mankind in a "96 month" countdown and who was completely wrong in his prediction.  He now has a new countdown clock, as if he were the prophetic expert of the ages.  And keep in mind that this is a con artist who took wedding vows in front television cameras, while have no intention on being faithful to his wife.

The endless End-of-the-World climate countdowns are extremely annoying to those of us who worked outdoors throughout the past two or three decades and who saw all types of weather.  Those people are --- we are --- the people who know what has been occurring in nature for the past 10, 20, and 30 years.  Such working-class people have much more experience with the climate than do comfy computer modelers and the stereotypical geektoid, dweeb-ridden nerds whose reality has been the cell phone and the texting app.  

Centuries of Witch Hysteria & Witch Trials Prove that Weather Disasters were the Trend

Of course, Michael "hockey sticks" Mann & David "I am the Walrus" Attenborough assured humanity that the climate was calm and mild for a thousand consecutive years before the Industrial Revolution.  Well, there were numerous weather disasters throughout the time said to be calm by Mann & Attenborough.  The chronicles, almanacs, captain's logs, and newspapers of old reported on numerous disasters during that specific time span.  Then comes proxy evidence.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, during the Little Ice Age, women in Northern Europe and in the Alp region of Europe were either torched or hung or fatally submerged in the tens of thousands, for "Making Weather."  Drastic weather events were occurring repeatedly, when the co2 count was extremely low.  Someone or something needed to be blamed.  So, alleged witches were blamed.  

Incidentally, the co2 count at the time was 276 ppm to 283 ppm.  Today the co2 count is 420 ppm.  Thus, the era of the Witch Trials occurred when atmospheric co2 was 144 to 137 ppm LOWER than today.  This proves that co2 does NOT cause major weather disasters & atmospheric turbulence.  It proves that Al Gore, Michael Mann, David Attenborough, and Charles the Adulterer are invalid in their climate declarations.  And you must admit that there has got to be a measure of psychopathic tendencies in grown men who think nothing of frightening schoolchildren with Climate Doomsday talking points.

The outdoor working-class people know that the obsessively endless End-of-the-World "climate doomsday" reports are a collective swindle --- mostly done for American taxpayer dollars.  In fact, there is a movie called, "The Great Global Warming Swindle."  It explains how Margaret Thatcher tried to use the co2 Scare to defeat the coal miner labor unions.  It also illustrates that a rise in atmospheric temperature usually precedes the rise in co2.  And quite frankly, the time intervals of co2 quantity change in the past millenia has been insignificantly petty -- small -- inconsequential -- nothing apocalyptic -- no big deal.

It will help you understand the concept of weather disasters by understanding that such things are all a matter of ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE.  This involves the textbook-defined law of Pressure Gradient Forcing.  I already explained this in other posts.  Others have explained this quite well in their  internet posts.  Involved is "baroclinic instability/stability" and "barotropic instability/stability."  Understanding 'vorticity' and the Coriolis Effect is needed, as well.  Plus, "Eckman Transport" (an ocean motion phenomenon) is entirely based on the Coriolis Effect.

Understanding the three "vibrational modes" of co2 is also needed, especially in understanding that co2 is incapable of capturing infrared heat while its stretching motion is "symmetric."  It furthermore helps you to understand that cirrus clouds have significant infrared heat-retaining capacity.  So, what is King Charles going to do about it?  Ban clouds?  This has been explained in previous posts at this particular site and elsewhere on the internet by very competent people.  

There are some really good websites & video channels in this world, involving true climate science, history, language learning, math & geometry, athletics, physical conditioning, nature & herbal studies, forestry, chess, agriculture, carpentry, music, archeology, aerodynamics, satellite technology, and more.  The real threat to Planet Earth's survival are nuclear weapons.  The true environmental emergency today is the glut of synthetic chemicals in societies and anything that emits unfiltered out of a coal power plant.  

Filtration science does exist.  So, you don't have to panic as Al Gore, David Attenborough, and Michael Mann would love to see you do.  Actually, they merely want you to surrender and submit to them, as their puppets.  However, you only need to ignore them and live.  In fact, live and let live.  Where there is life there is always hope.

I could explain the science of Autumn leaf color change later.  It's elementary, Watson, and it includes the science of chlorophyll.  I can even use a Smithsonian Institute writing on Autumn leaf color change.  I'll categorize this post as a "to be continued one," unless I find it too petty to address.  

One point to make here:  As far as goes autumn leaf colors, it depends on the species of the tree in focus.  Leaf color change is NOT arbitrary.  It's not a Las Vegas dice toss.  Leaf color change is also dependent upon latitude, altitude, and moisture content.

1960 = World Population of 3 billion.  2023 = World Population of 8 billion

Being that there are many more people on Earth today, much higher crop yields are needed.  Thus, longer growing seasons are needed throughout Planet Earth.  PBS mentioned that autumn leaf color change has been coming later than in previous decades.  If true, then that is a relief.  That's encouraging.  

Planet Earth needs longer growing seasons and NOT another Hitler exterminating the inconvenient people and the much much hated Jews.  Yes, genocide is not the cure to any population problem.  Concerning this, would you have ever expected to see in the United States the return of Hitler's Jew Hating Brown Shirts?  America turned Nazi Germany into the craters of the moon.  Yet, under Biden came organized Jew Hating in the good ole US of A.  Why is this happening?  Is it because the Israeli politicians didn't pay Joe Biden enough bribery money?  And of course, I state this pursuant to NY Times v. Sullivan.

Glaciers not Conducive to Record Crop Production

Keep in mind that no crop ever grew on a glacier.  Even concerning the claim of glacier meltdowns, I previously illustrated that Glacier National Park goes through a long time span of snow plowing every year, meaning that it's not Miami weather up there yet.  

This and the entire American West is for another post, due to the writing space needed to address the climate fraud being done in the name of the American West.  For now, it suffices to state that it is a false light hyper-exaggeration to claim that alternating drought conditions amongst subsections of the same one landmass constitute a long-term drought of the entire landmass.  It only constitutes a temporary & separate drought condition for each individual subsection of that landmass.  

Very simply, the Climate Doomsayers hyper-exaggerate everything to the point of constituting deceit.  Perhaps you noticed that every weather event reported in the past two years was reported as a never-before-happening End-of-the-World event.  An example is the claim of Forth Lauderdale having a once-in-a-thousand year rainstorm.  There was a far worse rainstorm in Florida in 1950, and in a few other years, there were comparable Florida rainstorms.  There were several worse rainstorms in America in the past one hundred years than in Fort Lauderdal in 2023.  There most certainly was NOT a once-in-a-thousand year storm in Florida, in 2023 ... or anywhere else in America.  

Concerning glaciers, in early November 2023, I spoke in person with a northern Indian Himalayan native.  When I said, "And I guess that the glaciers in the Himalayas are melting," his response was, "Getting bigger."  He was personally there.

Michael Mann has repeatedly been proven to be a teller of false tales, along with David Attenborough.  This is especially the case concerning the claim that the climate of Planet Earth was mild for a thousand consecutive years, until the start of the Industrial Revolution.  Mann should have been dismissed from his employment posts.  However, it's apparent that Mann was given his posts, in order to solidify and reinforce the Climate Doomsayers' lies.  So, it blatantly seems as such . . . ALLEGEDLY ... "in my opinion."  (So stated as such, pursuant to NY Times v. Sullivan, 376 US 254, 1964.)

BTW, a private citizen in the US may give his opinion of a public figure without being censured, censored, deleted, sued, fired, expelled, etc.  My opinion of Michael Mann is that he is a heartless con artist; heartless for what he did to Tim Ball.  

Also BTW, the last time Dr Tim Ball wrote to me, he stated that he intended to go on a tour and tell audiences what torment Michael Mann made him endure.  Unfortunately, Tim became too ill to do so.  He died shortly thereafter.  

Mann sued Tim, because Tim said that "Michael Mann is teaching at Penn State, when he should be in the State Penn."  Well, Mann does deserve to be brought to justice.  The available means today is in the False Claims Act.  This is an act for whistleblowers which was enacted during the American Civil War of the 1860s.  Incidentally, the entire American Civil War was fought during a drought, when atmospheric co2 levels were quite low.

Smithsonian and Federal Funding

If I do post a Smithsonian Institute writing on Autumn foilage, the reason why is this:  Concerning the Smithsonian Institute articles, know that the Smithsonian is heavily funded by United States taxpayer dollars.  When you perform a function with a public effect that advances "a compelling government interest," while being funded by American taxpayers, you are "acting under the color of law" --- no pun intended with the mention of color.  The point is that it's not a copyright violation to copy something that came into being by means of your tax dollars.  There does exist the concept of Public Domain in American law.

Climate Con Artists

"Annoying" is the best way to describe the Climate Indoctrination People.  They pick at every little thing, in the hope of terrifying you into begging your senators to throw billions of dollars more toward the climate change campaigners --- toward the climate hysteria profiteers.  Meanwhile, the true environmental nightmare, namely the irresponsible glut of synthetic chemicals throughout society, goes ignored by the Climate Indoctrination People.

Below, all photos are either mine or were given to me by close friends in Australia and Massachusetts.  You can look at them, to see if there is any sign of a ruptured climate ... or a climate swindle.

For now, take a look at real encounters with the outdoors.  To base one's scientific stance on computer models, while never looking out the window, is the act of being at variance with reality . . . being disassociated with reality ... being not ratified by experience ... being unproven.  

And of course, the Climate Hysteria movement bases its horror stories on  [1] computer models and [2] the claim of irreversible "feedback mechanisms" that will increase something that will cause runaway Global Warming.  However, most feedbacks in nature result in negative effects . . . not the overproduction of an event such as a Category 6 hurricane.  For the record, Al Gore's prediction of the Category 6 hurricane being common never came true.  There is no such thing as a Category 6 hurricane, unless you want to recategorize the legendary hurricanes such as 1969's Hurricane Camille.  

Incidentally, you youths out there need to study Hurricane Camille.  It was epic.  It occurred when the atmospheric co2 count was 95 ppm LESS THAN what it is today.  In as much, 1969 = 325 ppm.  2023 = 420 ppm.  This translates into 1969 co2 being approx 77% of what it is in the atmosphere today.  This also translates into atmospheric co2 in 1969 being 22.6% LESS THAN what it is today.  

The point to make is that major weather catastrophes occurred century after century, when the co2 level was very very low.  To claim that the rise in co2 causes more natural disasters is a major lie.  The rise in co2 will cause you to have to pull out more weeds and to rake more leaves.  However, it will cause more hemlock and atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade) to grow.  So, you better ban all co2 and make Al Gore king.

Eastern Australia, October 2023 (Australian Springtime.)  As El Nino proceeds, grasses in Australia will be getting drier ... not because of co2 ... but because the Trade Winds are presently not travelling East to West.  Indonesia experiences dry weather during El Nino, too.
Massachusetts, October 2023.  What?  This isn't colorful enough for PBS?
They lied and lied and lied again and again to Greta.  That was a form of child abuse.
Ten years prior, in Western Pennsylvania.  Is this not colorful enough for PBS?
The following year, at Cuyahoga National Park, in Ohio.  Is this not autumny enough for PBS?

Western Massachusetts, in the Summer of 2023.  This doesn't look very much like the Enod of the World to me.  How about you?  After all, where's the weakened & faded green foilage?  Where's the parched & whithering foliage?  This is a place where you can appropriately sing the opening song of the Sound of Music in front of a film and/or video crew.
Near Chicago, the Summer of 2018.  Where's the faded foilage there?
Even butterflies remain colorful today, from my personal experience.
Back to Cuyahoga National Park.  This is the definition of going green, compliments of CO2.
So, is this not colorful enough for PBS?  
Back to Massachusetts in 2023.  That is a carpet of leaves that are red on one side and whitish on the other.  Or are they not red & white enough for PBS?
The Univ of Pittsburgh campus in the mid-2010s.  It looks a lot like the Autumns of the 1960s & 1970s.  All in all, PBS should conduct a class called "How to Transmit Bull Crap 101." 

BTW, Pittsburgh is where public broadcasting was founded.    This photo is located a few blocks from the world's first public broadcasting TV station.  Technically, it was regarded as the first community-sponsored educational television station in America, back in 1954.  PBS pioneer, Fred Rogers, lived in Pittsburgh and did his shows for WQED, Pittsburgh.  The idea of PBS reporting anything with straight-foward honesty, minus any propagandist's slant, is a nostalgic idea.
