Antarctica 2021: Coldest 6 months. 6 months later: Lowest Ice Extent. 6 months more later: Healthy monthly ice gain, after lowest ice reading.

The news of it was liberating, because it was the opposite of the 30 year long encroaching doom predictions of ~ non-scientist Al Gore, ~ Michael "Hockey Sticks" Mann who should know better, and ~the Jim Hansen whose June 1988 senate pre-hearing antics were revealed by former Senator Wirth.  

The unexpected news came three years after most of the pending doom predictions were supposed to have come to pass.  In fact, the news came one year after the glaciers at Glacier National Park were supposed to have melted away.   

The news of this event made its way to the tunnel-visioned CNN.  At present, the news of it is being smothered by other climate-related coverage.  Newer news reports have reported conditions opposite of what happened for a six month period in 2021:

                     ***   Antarctica had its COLDEST winter on record.   *** 

Antarctic winters are six months long.  Therefore, Antarctica had its coldest six month period in known history.  More concisely . . .

At the Amundsen-Scott Station, the 2021 April to September temperatures averaged MINUS 78 degrees Fahrenheit.  That amounts to 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit LOWER than the station's 30 year average.

Now, with all the climate disaster propaganda being constantly released, did you assume that the Global Warming profiteers would sit idly and re-assess their belief system, upon hearing that Antarctica's coldest winter had just transpired?  ANS:  Of course not.  They went into hyper-drive, ramping-up the Global Warming, man-made-co2, burning-of-fossil-fuel, cap-and-tax, carbon-tax propaganda in geometric progressions.  And there were outrageous sleight-of-hand deceptions amidst actual news events.

The message always was that the world was going to soon end, if you did not shell out hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars and corporate donation dollars to them --- to the Climate Change People.  

There were outrageously high amounts of taxpayer dollars that were already appropriated during the final two years of the Obama administration.  The money was appropriated in the form of  "Climate Change Adaptation" & "Climate Change Research."

But, the Year 2022 was the year of far more tax dollar appropriations.  The tax dollars are simply added sums to the already overwhelming National Debt.  

The outrage is that, instead of spending time and money on life-giving CO2, efforts should have been made in remedying the ills caused by synthetic chemicals and their inundation into every realm of life.  And of course, these synthetic chemicals includes those "Forever Chemicals" such as polyfluoroalkyl substances (aka PFAS,) for starters, followed by many more of the synthetic realm.

BTW, the weather in 2022 wasn't that much different than the climate conditions in very hot and very dry 2012.  I went on a 12,000 mile road trip in the Summer of 2012.  I am well familiar with that type of heated landscape.  I was in the Mojave Desert at 102F.  I was in Oklahoma, when it was 106F.  I remember Arkansas at 104F, and it wasn't all that bad. 

In fact, I remember crossing over the Mississippi River, en route to Vicksburg Mississippi, in late August.  The river's width thinned-out considerably.  That's what alarmed me.  That's when I thought, "yikes."  But, the Mississippi River did get replenished.

I am also familiar with the Winter of 2014 --- the coldest winter in 40 years.  As I recently stated, climate is a cyclical roller coaster ride.  So, spend your money on countering PFAS chemicals, not on life-giving co2.  To combat CO2 is to combat life itself.

Climate Man say, "We're all gonna dry-up soon."  No, wait . . .
Climate Man say, "We're all gonna drown, when the salty seas rise over the piers."

The illustrations directly below concern the sea ice extent surrounding Antarctica in June and July of this year ... 2022.  The red fluorescent circle around the Antarctica ice extent is the average (actually the "median") amount of ice which is usually present there in June and then in July.  

While looking at it, the ice extent looks boringly average ... typical.  No big loss of ice through the years.  No big deal.  In fact, look at the numbers at the horizontal bottom of each illustration:

Total extent for June 2022 was 12.1 MILLION square kilometers (which is 4.67 MILLION  square miles.) 

Total ice extent for July 2022 was 14.9 million sq km (which is 5.75 million square miles of ice extent there.)

This means that, in 30 days, Antarctica gained 2,800,000 square kilometers of ice.  That amounts to 1,080,000 square miles of added ice extent, in one month's time.  That amounts to 36,000 sq miles of added ice per day ... added by nature.  This equal 93,333 square kilometers of new ice per day, added naturally.

In all that gain, the news simply stated that the July 2022 Antarctic sea ice extent was the lowest since 1979, for any month of July.  Incidentally, 1979 was the year of the highest Arctic sea ice extent.  

In having the Sea Ice Extent starting date the same as the year with the highest volume of sea ice, it guarantees that every year to follow will have a lower ice content number than the "benchmark year."  That is deception in action, being that the unfamiliar person will instantly assume that 1979 was an average ice year, instead of the year with the most ice on record.

North

South
Previously, in late February 2022, the report was that Antarctica had it lowest ice extent in ultra-modern history, meaning "since 1979." It was exactly like the report of July of that year.  At the least, the Space Magazine author who did quote the U.S. National Snow & Ice Data Center in an article, stated that:

"However, the amount of Antarctic sea ice varies considerably each year and climate change is not necessarily to blame." ...

... "The shrinking is likely natural, and partly due to strong winds pushing some sea ice farther north into warmer waters, Nature reported.  I think much, if not all, of the event can be ascribed to natural variability," said Walt Meier, a senior research scientist at the NSIDC.  NSIDC stands for National Snow & Ice Date Center.   Furthermore . . .

 "Antarctic sea ice varies considerably from year to year, and the NSIDC has not found a statistically significant trend in one direction or another using satellite data. This year was the lowest minimum sea-ice extent on record, but the highest minimum sea-ice extent was recorded in 2015." 

Of course, a Climate Con Artist will present this 2022 event in a false light, and then apply intimidation tactics, telling you that it's your fault for burning fossil fuels, and you have to pay the carbon tax, to make up for your sins..  When you don't buy what the guy is asserting, you end up intimidating the climate con artist.

Driving on an amount of ice as large as the July 2022 ICE GAIN is equivalent to driving from Washington D.C. to the outskirts of Miami Florida --- (the square root of 1.08 million miles is 1,039.  Miami to D.C. is 1,050 miles.)  Yet, July 2022 is supposed to have been the least amount of July sea ice extent in modern record-keeping.

All in all, that's a lot of ice accumulation.  Yet, it resulted in the lowest ice extent number on the chart, as far as concerns the month of July.  The remedy is to compare the more recent years, as you search for a trend or the absence of a trend.  Study wind conditions, air masses, the jet stream, air pressure, Etc.  Things are never what they seem to be to an inexperienced novice.

In addition, check for the writers'/speakers' financial interest in the matter upon which he/she speaks.  If the person making the report stands to gain (or has already been payed) tremendous amounts of taxpayer dollars, in a climate-related government contract, then he/she has a conflict of interest and cannot be brought into the conversation.

The lesson:  Don't let yourself be deceived by your failure to recognize proportionality.  Such proportionality is translated into numbers, charts, tables, and graphs.  A person can take numbers and twist them in such away that he makes a doomsday scenario.  If someone is looking for sensationalism and ratings, doomsday will be described, and this is irresponsible to do. 

July 2022 is supposed to be the month of the least sea ice extent for any July month.  It does NOT look much different than any other Winter month.  It still had a lot of ice.  The red line, of course, is the median amount of sea ice extent for July ... the typical amount ... the expected amount.

June 2022:  Antarctic sea ice extent was 12.1 million sq km.  That's 4.67 million square miles.  July 2022:  The ice extent expanded to 14.9 sq km, aka 5.75 million sq miles.  That was an INCREASE of 1.08 million sq miles, aka 2.8 million sq km, between June and July.  That's an increase of 36,000 sq miles of new ice per day (93,333 sq km per day.)  So, where's the End of the World in all that ice accumulation?

 
Comparison: June 2021: 13.5 million sq km (5.21 million sq miles.)
                      July 2021: 16.4 million sq km (6.33 million sq miles.)
                         30 day ice extent increase = 1,120,000 sq miles;
                        an increase of 37,333 sq miles of new ice per day.
                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~
The June to July ice gain for 2021 (when there was a record cold winter) is virtually the same for 2022 (when the July ice extent was the lowest since modernized record keeping began in 1979.)  It was 36,000 sq miles of new ice per day vs 37,333 sq miles of new ice per day.  The Year 2020 wasn't too far behind, at 32,333 sq miles of new ice per day.   It was not all that different.  The lesson:  Con artists use numbers to scare you.   

June 2020: 13.2 million sq km (5.09 million sq miles)
July 2020:  15.7 million sq km (6.06 million sq miles)
                               That was a 30 day increase of  970,000 square miles.                                 That was an average of 32,333 square miles per day of new ice.

CO2 emissions: In decline in Europe & the US, since 1984, 1987, 1991

New England in the Summer of 2023.  Now, does this look like a Climate Crisis to you?

Social Hypnotism 

The Concept of leaving your "Carbon Footprint" in the sky shows that Climate Propagandists do NOT realize how asinine they come-off to the adult working class, especially in light of the fact that CO2 takes-up only 0.042% of the sky outside.  Meanwhile, Methane exists in the same atmosphere at only 2 parts per million.  Wings, clouds, kites, parasails, and birds of varying type are what people see in the sky; not hooves and not footprints.   

Of course, if the Climate Propaganda Machine is trying to convey the concept of you leaving a trail of carbon behind you wherever you go, then such carbon is known as particulates, and particulates always fall to the ground ... eventually ... due to something called gravity. 

The alternative concept is that of you carrying carbon around, wherever you go.  Well, you are carbon.  Of course, in having demonized carbon, the Climate Propaganda Machine demonized you personally.  They declared you the enemy of Planet Earth ... or at least a great nuisance to the planet.  Well, do you know what else is carbon ... pure carbon?  ANS:  Diamonds.  

The Atmosphere is already 99.9% Carbon-free.

None the less, in light of the fact that the Earth's atmosphere is already more than 99.9% carbon-free, the endless harping of the "carbon footprint" is merely another form of empty propaganda, much like the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction campaign.  

The repetitive use of one-liners is the sign of a brain-washing con artist at work.  It's a form of hypnotism, where the speaker does not wish to inform, but only to persuade ... or even to force all others into some type of submission.  The submission consists in lots of money going into the pockets of the speaker.  In as much, the mainstream media cannot report anything contrary to the prevailing campaign bumper sticker slogan which, today, involves your "carbon footprint."  .

Accredited Scientists use a totally different approach, in selling to the public a belief in "global warming" only ... and not "climate change" per se.  

These individuals accentuate the concept of "Positive Feedbacks," in the search to catalogue the "feedbacks" which increase something called, Radiative Forcing.  The concentration of (the level of) CO2 in the atmosphere is far too small to drive any temperature grid.  So, the scientists added water vapor into the conversation, claiming that a rise in CO2 will rise the radiative forcing of water vapor 4 and 5 times over.  Of course, this never came close to happening.

None the less, the concept of Radiative Transfer is included in the debate package, along with TSI.  The inclusion of TSI into the debate also includes consideration of the Milankovitch Cycles (very long-term sunspot activity), as well as the 11 year Sunspot Cycle.  .

TSI is Total Solar Irradiance, and it is not to be confused with Solar Insolation.  At present, its average flow into & through Earth's atmosphere is defined as 1,361 watts per meter squared, on average throughout the year, depending on the season.  Solar Irradiance is an instantaneous measurement, while Solar Insolation is a cumulative measurement over a period of time.

Thus far, all that came to be was temperatures close to the heated temperatures of 1895-96, 1901, 1905, 1910-11, 1913, 1921-22, and 1934-1936.  So, you can't be assured of any of the new climate model formulas recently submitted, to support the claim that CO2's rise in the atmosphere caused a positive feedback mechanism which elevated the Earth's average/mean surface temperature.  

There were very contradictory cold spans too, during the rise in CO2

This is especially the case, during the cold record-breaking winter of 2025, the notable winter of 2023, the other record-breaking winter of 2021 in the Southern Hemisphere, and the multiply record breaking winter of 2014, both in the Northern & Southern Hemispheres.  This include 2009-2010 Christmas holiday season, when the average temperature anomaly was minus 5F.  

Those weather events were the opposite of a rise in the Earth's mean temperature.  Even in 2008, the anomaly average hovered around minus 2F.  In fact, 1993 to 1995 were cold times, as were 1985 and 1986, when speaking in terms of temp anomaly.

The three vibrational modes of CO2 makes a huge difference, depending on the prevailing mode

The biggest and most invalidating feature of the pro-Global Warmer climate models is that the models did not differentiate between CO2's radiative forcing capacity while in its three different vibrational modes.  Not all CO2 molecules are alike.

All three vibrational modes of CO2 causes a different radiative capacity.  In fact, when CO2 is in its Symmetric Stretch Mode, it is incapable of absorbing any infrared radiation/heat beyond a half a watt per sq meter.   There is also the asymmetric stretch mode, as well as the bending mode which looks like a bird flapping its wings.  Thus, CO2 cannot be regarded as a fungible good of the same likeness, in any climate model.

NOAA said 130 years.  Someone did a tree ring report and said 2,000 years

And concerning the claim that 2023 was the hottest year in the past 2,000 years, this came from one scientist's tree ring assessment.  NASA had long since stated that 1934 was the worse drought year, in the past 1,000 years.  And during the very dishonest Biden Presidency ... where lying to humanity was the de facto policy ... NOAA stated that 2023 was the hottest year in the past 130 years, and NOT in the past 2,000 years.  

None the less, there were years of super brutal and tragic heat in the early 20th and late 19th Century.  And the decisive feature to this is that, according to the Michael Mann Theory of surface temperature, there should have not been any years of extreme heat in the early 20th and late 19th Century.  In as much, the prevailing thesis statement here is that:::  It has all happened before ... when the outdoor CO2 count was much lower than today.  Period.

Now, there are a number of posts at the Blue Marble Album which show that the hyper-exaggerated temperature and weather reports were nothing more than dishonest hyper-exaggerations ... in detail.  So too is this the case with 2022, such as the July 2022 Heat Wave hyper-exaggeration of London.  As far as goes the Year 2023, look for other signs which indicate a truly heated year.  If no such sign is there, then the recently reported "tree ring assessment" is yet another fraud.  In as much . . .

1a]  Did the Elbe River dry-up anywhere in Germany or the Czech Republic?   1b] In other words, were the engravings on the Elbe River Hunger Stones above the river's water level?  2] Were there an untold number of heat-related deaths in Paris, as there were in 2003, 1976, and in the very tragic Year of 1911?  

3]  As far as went the Tigris and Euphrates strife, that problem has been ongoing for consecutive years, and it traces back to dams that Turkey built by which water is kept away from the Euphrates.  The dams themselves are low on water.  BUT, it was NOT a 2023-only problem.

And of course, as a reminder, NOAA stated that the Year 2023 was the warmest year in the past 130 years ... NOT in the past 2,000 years.  And what was occurred in or around 130 years ago?  ANS:  The dreaded heatwave years of 1895-96.  

Quite frankly, 2023 wasn't hotter than 1911 ... and definitely not hotter than 1905, when it was so hot that the summertime waters of the Mediterranean was too hot for any human to enter without extreme discomfort.  

In as much, what you need to understand, in realizing the non-reliability of these claims of the "hottest-year-in-so-many-years" is that there was very little weather-monitoring stations throughout the world in the early 20th Century, the 19th Century, the 18th Century, etc.  So, how does mankind know what the temps were in many areas of Planet Earth without gathering "proxy evidence" from the natural terrain in those places?  This is why basing a hockey stick graph on the YAD-061 set is entirely insufficient for any truth to be conveyed.  

All valid scientific claims must match the Weather News History

HOWEVER, the one thing that is absolutely for sure is the Weather News Report History of the past 85, 105, and 135 years, as well as ship log entries, almanacs, and chronicles of centuries past.  Factual history doesn't change, until people as dishonest as the Biden Shadow Presidency changes it.

In as much, it was the factual weather history which showed us that "this has all happened before," concerning the weather events of the past 5 years.  This changes the face of the "Climate Change" Assertions, because the historic facts show us that there has not been much of a change in climate for over a 180 years . . . since the completion of the Little Ice Age, in 1840.  There has only been a repetitive trend, where climate is like a roller coaster.

Of course, administrations as vicious and as dishonest as the Biden Administration will seek to change history books and records. The Biden People did this display of dishonesty with the US Wildfire Graph.

All in all, you must admit that ... if you were following ... the Biden Administration literally lied about everything ... when the Biden People weren't hiding facts outright.  After all, everything that the Biden People did turned into a disaster of one degree or another.  Meanwhile, Joe spent his presidency at the beach.

Now, numerous photo-copies of news reports and agency stats are posted on multiple posts, in this Blue Marble Album.  As far as goes this particular post, everything is focused on national CO2 emission stats.  And we begin:

Enter the decline of carbon emissions in the skies of first-world & high tech nations

The present Climate Hysteria propaganda is that the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Japan, etc must decrease their carbon dioxide emissions, as if they haven't been doing so for years.  They mention the objective of reducing greenhouse gases. 

Well, 90% of all of Planet Earth's greenhouse gases, by volume, is water vapor.  Water vapor contains zero carbon in it.  

Now, 70.8% of Planet Earth's surface is covered by water, and 96.5% of all of Planet Earth's water is in its oceans.  Plus, the quantity of ocean water on Earth is 352 QUINTILLION gallons. 

As far as goes all of the water on Earth, in Earth, and above Earth, it's alleged to be 332.5 million cubic miles. One cubic mile of water holds 1.1 trillion gallons of water.   So, in order to truly decrease the Earth's greenhouse gases, you have to drain some ocean somewhere.  And to where would the ocean water go?

None the less, the emission of greenhouse gases that are not water vapor have been on the decrease for years in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, and even in Syria.  So, how much more does the modern alliance of America, England, and continental Europe have to do?  

As of May 2024, Planet Earth's atmosphere reached its highest level of CO2 in human history.  It even exceeded the CO2 levels of long before the beginning of human history.  Yet, under the Joe Biden Shadow Presidency, draconian measures were imposed upon the mass populations of what used to be called the Free World.  All of the regulations ... all of the impositions ... failed to achieve the Biden/Harris objective.  

The objective was to render a trace amount of a molecular compound into even a smaller trace amount in the sky.  And keep in mind that, at present, the sky outside comprises 0.0425% carbon dioxide.  99.9575% of the same sky does not ... contain CO2.

Of course, there is not enough co2 in the atmosphere to drive the climate, in the first place.  The climate is driven by the Sun & the Coriolis Effect, as well as the juxtaposition of air pressure systems & the variable types of surface area of Planet Earth.  So, the lesson here is that the media repeatedly hid encouraging truths from humanity once again.  CO2 emissions have been on the decrease in specific nations.  Yet, the people of those nations got no credit from the mainstream media and the Biden Shadow Presidency.

********************************************************************************

Let's start with the good ole USA.  Per capita co2 emissions there reached their peak in 1973.  Then, in 2004, the United States began its pronounced & consistent decline of per capita CO2 emissions, until 2020.  

Then, in the Year 2023 ... when it was time for the Biden Shadow Presidency to think in terms of a re-election campaign ... the USA resumed its per capita CO2 emissions decline/decrease.  Meanwhile, China's CO2 emissions sky rocketed into the sky, and no one objected to it happening.   Such a thing is known as hypocrisy.

Keep in mind that the chart below is of the United States;  NOT China.

         ***************************************************************************

Below:  The USA's aggregate (total) annual co2 emissions have been on the decline since 2007.  In sixteen years, until and including 2023, annual co2 emissions went from 6.13 billion tonnes per year to 4.91 billion tonnes.


*********************************************************************************

Below:  The very historic nation of Greece has also been decreasing its CO2 Emission since 2007, and more so than the United States.

***********************************************************************************Below:  Neighboring Bulgaria ... a neighbor of northern Greece.  It reached its height of CO2 emissions in 1987, when  the CO2 output there was 91.27 million tonnes.   At the end of 1992, Bulgaria's CO2 emissions were down to 57.46 million tonnes.  Then, in 2023, Bulgaria's yearly CO2 emissions count dropped down to 36.09 million tonnes.  Did CNN, MSNBC, the UN, or John Kerry ever report this?


******************************************************************************
Below:  The total annual co2 emissions of the UK have been on a steady decline since 2004.


*********************************************************************************
Below: 
Per Capita co2 emissions for the UK have been on the decline since 1971.  This means that the UK has long since cut its per capita co2 emissions in half.  Has CNN or MSNBC ever reported this?


********************************************************************************
Below:  Per Capita CO2 emissions in North America reached their height in 1973 and then went on the decline.  CO2 emissions there have been on a more pronounced & constant decline since 2005.


*****************************************************************************
Below:  
The total annual co2 emissions in North America  have been on a steady decline since 2007, when the yearly co2 emissions there were 7.36 billion tonnes.  By 2023, emissions dropped to 6.12 billion tonnes.


*********************************************************************************
Below: Total annual co2 emissions in France went on a sharp decline in 1979.  It leveled out and later went on a steady decline in 2005.  In 1979, the yearly French co2 emissions count was 533.25 million tonnes.  In 2023, co2 emissions dropped to 272.48 million tonnes.   This has been a significant decline.  Did CNN & MSNBC report this to the public?


**********************************************************************************
Below:  Next comes  neighboring Germany ... a neighbor of France, that is.  Its consistent decline in annual CO2 emissions started in 1979, at 1.12 BILLION tonnes.  In 2023, CO2 emissions from Germany dropped to 596.15 MILLION tonnes.   This was an annual average decrease of 47%.  Germany came close to cutting its co2 emissions in half.


**********************************************************************************
Below: Al Gore claimed that climate refugees were coming out of Syria in droves.  No, they were War Refugees.  Syria's annual co2 emissions have been on the significant decline since 2008.

                ******************************************************************
Below: 
Italy's annual co2 emissions have been on a significant decline since 2005.  See for yourself.


***********************************************************************************
Below: Nearby Spain ... near Italy, that is ... had a more pronounced drop in annual CO2 emissions.  It reached its height in 2005, with an output of 368.34 million tonnes.  By the end of 2023, Spain's yearly CO2 emissions dropped to 221.62 million tonnes. 


              *********************************************************************
Below:  As far as goes the European Union, it began its steady decline of CO2 emissions in 2006, with an output of 4.32 billion tonnes.  By the end of 2023, the EU's CO2 output dropped to 2.82 billion tonnes.  China's CO2 output did NOT drop.  It performed the opposite of the EU, the USA, the Netherlands, etc.

          
              *********************************************************************
Below:  The annual co2 emissions of oil-rich Venezuela has dropped significantly since 2013.  Did CNN or MSNBC let you know about this?

***********************************************************************************

Below:  Japan started its annual co2 emissions decrease in 2013.  

***********************************************************************************

Below:  Hungary reached its co2 emissions peak in 1984, before the dissolution of the Berlin Wall.  The annual emissions of co2 in Hungary steadily declined to the point where Hungary's 2013 emissions were half of its 1984 emissions.  This translates into a significant decline.  But, did CNN, MSNBC, the Guardian, or DemocracyNow let the public know this?

**********************************************************************************

Below:  The Netherlands began its consistent decline in annual CO2 emissions in 2010.

*****************************************************************************
Below:  Sweden's annual CO2 emissions decrease began in 1979, to the numerical tune of 84.87 million tonnes.  The annual emissions had been reduced to 36.56 million tonnes, in 2023.  This was a significant reduction.  Where was CNN & MSNBC, when it came time to report this?


*****************************************************************************
Below:  The continent of Europe started its annual CO2 emissions decline in 1990.  Annual European CO2 emissions went from 8.04 billion tonnes in 1991 to 4.99 billion tonnes in 2023.  That was a significant reduction.  Did CNN or MSNBC ever report this to humanity?

=====================================================================

The nation that unleashed CO2

It's China.  In the Year 1993 China emitted 2.92 billion tonnes of CO2.  In the Year 2003, China's CO2 emissions were 4.84 billion tonnes.  In 2013, China's annual CO2 emissions were 9.96 BILLION tonnes.  Then, in the Year 2023, China's annual CO2 emissions were 11.90 billion tonnes.  

In contrast, the United States' annual CO2 emissions count was 4.91 billion tonnes in 2023.
In addition,  Russia's yearly CO2 emissions for 2023 was only  1.82 billion tonnes.

       Do you get the message, yet?  John Kerry has been flying to the wrong airports.
     *********************************************************************************
At the Sky High Inn, there is a lot of room for Carbon Dioxide

Now, the Number 1 Proof which shows that co2 is NOT a pollutant is this:  If co2 were a pollutant, then every time you exhale, soot would be coming out of your mouth.  A human exhales 40,000 ppm of co2 every time he/she fully exhales.  CO2 only exists at 425 ppm in the sky outside.  This means that you exhale 95 times more co2 into your immediate air space than exists in any equally-sized sector of the sky.  

More specifically, a human usually inhales only 0.042% of co2 when outdoors.  But, he/she exhales 4% of it, meaning that the human body makes co2.  

The fact that humans and cattle do NOT exhale soot is the sign that Climate Hysteria is founded upon a fraudulent precept.  However, it took years and years of endless brain-washing to make America's school students disregard their natural observations of life and to live in terror for the rest of their lives.  They are told that climate doom awaits them, unless they give all their freedom to Al Gore, Michael Mann, Bill Nye, etc.

The big "however" is that the United States' Occupational Health & Safety Administration officially declared that exposure to 5,000 ppm of co2, for 8 consecutive hours, is the "permissible exposure limit."  That is a concentration of 11 to 12 times more co2 than exists outdoors today.  Yet, co2 is presented as the new demon and Michael Mann is promoted as the new prophet, while Al Gore is treated as the high priest of the new Climate Religion.    The straight-lined hockey stick graph is their Bible.

The problem here is that all the vegetation on Earth dies when the atmospheric co2 count goes below 150 ppm.  CO2 is the bringer of photosynthesis.  CO2 is the molecule of life.  Yet, it's treated as the Angel of Death, Doom, & Destruction by the mainstream media.  Without CO2, without chlorophyll, and without bees, we all die-off eventually.  That's known as extinction.

Below:  The results of testing done on 36 qualified submarine crew members after exposure to either 600 ppm or 2,500 ppm or 15,000 ppm of co2, in a "subject-blinded" testing.      The conclusion is that people who are used to levels of co2 higher than outdoor concentrations do well, such as at the 5,000 ppm level.  Those not used to such levels of exposure will have trouble with decision making, but will  be able to  perform base-line functional tasks.  There's more, including other studies.  But, that is for another discourse.  The bottom line here is that co2 is NOT the hazardous poison Barrack Obama fraudulently made it out to be.                         

*********************************************************************************

So, let's review the molecular composition of Planet Earth's atmosphere  

The atmosphere of Planet Earth comprises:  [1] 78.08% Nitrogen, 780,800ppm   [2] 20.95% Oxygen, 209,500ppm  [3] 0.934% Argon, 9,340ppm  [4] 0.0425% Carbon Dioxide, 425ppm  [5] Neon at 0.001818%, 18.18ppm  [6] Helium at 0.000524%, 5.24ppm   [7] Methane at 0.00019%, 1.9ppm   [8] Krypton at 0.000114%, 1.14ppm    [9] Hydrogen at 0.00005%, 0.5ppm   and [10] Xenon at 0.0000087%, 0.087ppm . . . minus 0.2% to 4%, for Water Vapor.   Concerning this, the 0.2% is found in Antarctica and the high elevations of the Alpines, as well as in Chile's Atacama Desert.  The 4% is found in the Tropics.

At this point, do the math.  The sky outside is composed of 0.0425% (co2) + 0.0002% (ch4...methane) carbon molecular compounds.  This would mean that the Troposphere is 99.9578% CARBON-FREE.  

BTW, Sulfur Hexaflouride is the most potent greenhouse gas, and it contains no carbon.  However, it's presence in the atmosphere is 2.5 to 3 parts per TRILLION.  It's alleged to be 23,500 times more potent at capturing infrared heat than is co2.

Scorecard

Now, yearly co2 emissions due to human activity has reached the 35 to 37 billion tonne mark.  A certain writer whose name will politely be kept confidential stated that 40 billion tonnes of co2 per year would occupy 1,045,911 square miles of Planet Earth 9 yards high.  This translates into 5,348 cubic miles.  

Well, Planet Earth is 196.9 MILLION square miles in area, and the height of the Troposphere averages 7 miles.  196.9 million times 7 is 1,378,300,000 cubic miles of Tropospheric space.

Welcome to the Wide World of Mainstream Media's CONSTANT DISPROPORTIONALITY 

Now, a mile is 1,760 yards in length.  Seven miles is 12,320 yards in length.  Thus, 12,320 yards divided by the previously mentioned "9 yards high" translates into 1,368 layers (segments-of-9-yds-each) of Troposphere.

At this point, call to mind that the unnamed writer stated that 40 billion tonnes of co2 generated per year translates into 1,045,911 square miles outward & 9 yards upward being occupied by co2.  

Also call to mind that the 196.9 MILLION sq mile surface area of Planet Earth divided by the previously mentioned 1,045,911 sq mi = 188.35.  Thus, Planet Earth's Troposphere is 1,045,911 sq miles, 188.35 times over.  After all, 1,045,911 times 188.35  =  196,997,336 ... the square mileage of Planet Earth's surface area.

At this point multiply the 1,368 layers of Troposphere by the 188 sections of Planet Earth's surface area.  1,368 * 188 = 257,184.  In fact, the previously mentioned 1,378,300,000 cubic miles divided by the previously mentioned 5,348 yearly cubic miles = 257,722.   

At a yearly emission of 40 billion tonnes of co2, it will take approximately 250,000 YEARS for man-made co2 to saturate the Earth's Troposphere as much as co2 occupies the atmosphere of Venus.  

Moreover, to make the Troposphere of the Earth even reach the 0.1% mark in co2 concentration, 575 ppm needs to be added.  Thus, if the co2 count increased 2 to 3 ppm per year, it would take 193 to 290 years to accomplish this.  That's 1/10th of one percent and nothing more, in at least 193 years. 

Moreover, if the yearly increase in atmospheric CO2 rose to 4 ppm per year, then it would take 143 years for the CO2 level to reach a concentration of 1/10th of one percent.

10,000 parts per million = 1%.  1,000 ppm = 0.1%.  100 ppm = 0.01%.  425 ppm = 0.0425%.

In order to raise the co2 count to a mere 1% of the Earth's atmosphere, you would have to add 9,575 ppm of co2.  Thus, if you were to add 3 ppm of co2 per year, from January 2025 onward, it would take you 3,193 years to simply raise co2 to the one percent mark.  

If you were to add 4 ppm of co2 to the Earth's atmosphere yearly, it would take you 2,393 years to achieve the 1% mark.  Furthermore, if only 2 ppm of CO2 would be added to the atmosphere yearly, it would take 4,787 years to reach the one percent mark.   In the atmospheres of Venus and Mars, co2 stands at the 96% mark.  

The lesson here is that the Climate Hysteria propaganda teams scare schoolchildren with disproportionality.  The numbers used to scare children ... and to alarm their parents ... are low for a planet the size of Earth.  

Here's another example:  LIGHTNING:  According to the United States' CDC, lightning strikes Planet Earth an average of 8 MILLION times a day & 6,000 times every minute.  This could sound scary to a vulnerable schoolchild, if a propagandist is trying to frighten schoolchildren.  But, it's an amount of lightning that Planet Earth can easily handle.

https://medium.com/@zippyfacts/how-many-times-does-lightning-strike-around-the-world-each-day-and-how-hot-is-a-bolt-of-lightning-89b653de1df8

One more example involves rainfall:  One inch of rainfall upon one square mile of the Earth's surface comprises 17.4 MILLION gallons of water, weighing 145 MILLION pounds. One gallon of water is 8.333 lbs.  It sounds like terrifyingly high numbers, but the Earth has been handling much wider and longer rainstorms throughout the millennia.  It's no problemo for the Earth.  Yet, a Climate Hysteria activist would try to twist the numbers into an End of the World scenario, frightening youth in the process.

Under Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, CO2 reached its highest level in all of human history

Now, atmospheric CO2 reached its highest level in the history of humanity, in May of 2024.  The reason for this is in a manufacturing and activation of the coal-fired power plants in China and India.  If you wiped all of the Americas and Europe off the face of the Earth, the CO2 rate would continue to rise, on account of the coal-fired power plants.  Being Draconian in America is pointless and worthless.  The Biden-Harris years of the dictatorial bullying of Americans accomplished nothing good.

The cause of the 2025 LA Fires that were nowhere near a record-breaking size

The Number 1 cause of the 2025 LA Fires was the "Blocking High Pressure System" ... aka "a high pressure ridge" ... in the Pacific Ocean, off of the California coastline.  Such a thing always comes with La Nina, along with a "variable Pacific Jet Stream" that does not travel through Southern California.

And of course, the Equatorial & Trade Wind ocean currents travel westward, during La Nina.   This results in a dry Arizona & Texas and a moist Indonesia & Australia.   In contrast, when El Nino is predominate, those ocean currents travel eastward, thereby making America warmer than usual.

High Pressure in atmospheric science always means "dry."  So, Southern California has been receiving perpetual dry air from the La Nina "high pressure ridge," amidst forests that were not cleared of their dead & dried timber.  Such timber is a very large matchbook, per timber piece.  Such timber, in large quantities, guarantees a tragic spread of fire.   Dry timber is fuel, and it ignited in January 2025, in the LA area.

Now, the Santa Ana Winds are also dry air winds.  They are the result of an air mass completing its "Orographic Lifting" up a "windward" mountain side.   This means that such an air mass cooled during its rise, and then created clouds, and finally rained throughout its rise up the mountain side.  

At the top of the mountain, only dry air remains in that air mass.  So, you get dry air from the Pacific Ocean's "high pressure ridge," along with very dry Santa Ana air, from the mountain tops of California.  This results in wildfires, if dry timber is in the path of the Santa Ana winds.  Incidentally, Chinook Winds, Foehn Winds, and Santa Ana Winds are the same thing.  

All in all, if you are going to be governed by clueless government officials who refuse to allow for the clearance of dead & dry wood, and if you are living between a Blocking High and the Santa Ana Winds, then expect everything flammable to go up into flames until the flames reach the shoreline.

The Hyped-up Exaggerations of LA 2025

Newscasts already used "record breaking" in the reports of the 2025 LA fires.  This was done to deceive you into thinking that this is a new phenomenon that never happened previously and which is a sign of a Climate Change Crisis by which you must surrender your freedom to Al Gore, Michael Mann, Bill Nye, and the mainstream media.  So, if you hear or read anyone claim that January 2025 had the "all-time" record breaking 1] wind and/or 2] burned acreage and/or 3] structures damaged and/or 4] financial costs during Biden Era Inflation, then respond with this:   

"Stop right here.  There were many worse fires long ago, when the atmospheric Co2 Count was much lower than today.   Plus, the satellite era is relatively new.  Therefore, there were hundreds of years of Western American fires not reported.   This means that no one has the data to know what the record is on anything involving Western wildfires."

So too is this the case with hurricanes.  Numerous hurricanes throughout hundreds of years of human civilization were not recorded.   There were no satellites available during those eras of time.  So, curb it when you get the urge to say "the all-time record."  You have no idea what the all-time record is, in any natural disaster category, when it comes to America.  America used to be called, the New World.

Numerous fires throughout history were far worse than the January 2025 LA Fires

The 2025 LA Fires consumed 41,000 acres of real estate.  The Peshtigo/Michigan Fires of 1871 incinerated 2.5 million acres.  The Great Fire of 1910 consumed 3 million acres in Montana, Idaho, and Washington State.  And the list of greater fires goes on ... and on ... and on some more.

a] The Peshtigo Fire of October 1871 consumed 1.2 MILLION acres of Wisconsin land.  b] At the same time, the Great Chicago Fire and the Great Michigan Fire burned 1.3 million acres.  Incidentally, the Great Chicago Fire only consumed 2,112 acres of land.  After all, there is a massive lake at Chicago's border.  

c] Canada's Great Fire of 1919 consumed 5 million acres in Alberta & Saskatchewan.  This fire was 122 times LARGER than the LA Fires of 2025.  d] Then, in 1950, the Chinchaga Fire of British Columbia & Alberta consumed 4.2 million acres of land and created a unique smoke pall that colored the Sun lavender and violet.

e] The 1825 Miramichi Fire in New Brunswick put 3 million Canadian acres out of commission.  The CO2 count at the time was a mere 284 ppm.  Well, according to the Al Gore Theory of Climate, no major fire eruption should have occurred during a time of low CO2.  Yet, the Miramichi Fire of 1825 was 73 times LARGER than were the 2025 LA Fires.  

f] In August of 1989, 1,147 wildfires ignited in Manitoba, burning 1.3 million acres.  g] Two years prior, in Daxing'anling  ... northeastern China ... 2.5 million acres were incinerated within one month's time.  It is known as the 1987 Black Dragon Fire.

h] The Siberian Taiga Fires of 2003 turned 55 million acres into charred remains.   i] The 1865 Silverton Fire of Oregon erased 1.5 million acres of forest.  j] The Adirondack Forest Fire of 1903 charred over 470,000 acres of New York vegetation within a six-week period.  

k] In 1889, 300,000 acres burned in California's Santiago County Fire.  l] Five years prior, in Minnesota, the Great Hinckley Fire burned 160,000 acres and took at least 418 lives, along with 12 towns.  

m] The Great Porcupine Fire of 1911 incinerated at least 500,000 acres, in Ontario.  n]  In 1916, there was the Great Matheson Fire that incinerated 490,000 acres of Canadian land.  o] Then, the Timiskaming District of Ontario saw 415,000 more acres of land incinerated, in 1922.  

p] Eventually came 1923, when the Giant Berkeley fire destroyed 50 city blocks, as well as 624 buildings, in California.  Deja Vu, America.  "It" already has happened before, in the San Francisco area, 101 years prior.  2025 was a Deja vu of 1923.

q] In 1933, the Tillamook Burn consumed 350,000 acres, in Oregon.  r] Eventually came April 1963, when 183,000 acres and 400 buildings were incinerated in New Jersey, during the Black Saturday Fire. 

s] And as far as goes the Black Friday Fire, it was actually the 1939 Black Friday Bushfire, in Southeastern Australia.  It consumed 5 million acres of drought-ridden land.   t] Eventually came 1970, when 175,425 acres were burned in San Diego County and the Laguna Mountains.   That 1970 fire was four times LARGER than the 2025 LA Fire.  Yet, the 1970 CO2 Count was only 327 ppm, compared to the 425 ppm of late 2024.

In addition, there were numerous major city fires throughout history, as well.  This brings us to a question:  What record was broken in the 2025 LA Fires?  Compared to the true record-breaking fires, the LA fires of 2025 are chump change.  Hello?  Has anyone been home, in government & in news reporting, for the past four years?  

You must stop marketing terror & fear, in claiming the existence of a never-before-seen Climate Crisis.  The past five years had no weather event worse than those that transpired previously, in decades and centuries past.  

Quit using the phrase "record breaking.'  After all, Climate involves average & typical weather.  NOT any once in a lifetime broken record.  

None the less, the LA Fires were not a once in a lifetime event.  They were a smaller version of what has been happening, since 1871.  The 2025 LA Fires were actually less tragic, less in intensity, and less in space-consumed than dozens and dozens of other fires.  Quit scaring school children and dimwitted middle-aged women who believe that CNN is the Voice of God.                  

Below:  It's information which was hidden by the Biden Administration.   It's the amount of acreage burned throughout the United States in wildfires, per year, starting with 1916.  

Remember one thing.  The reports of massive forest fires are in the newspapers of decades past.  Thus, you lie if you say that those massive & frequent fires never happened.  Moreover, mankind did NOT have the technology to put out the late 19th & early 20th Century wildfires.  Thus, such fires easily became massive ones, especially during the drought-ridden 1930s.  And concerning this, keep in mind that NASA officially stated that the greatest drought year in the past 1,000 years was 1934.  

Plus, the American West didn't have the population needed to do the fire-fighting work in the 1920s & '30s.  And as far as went the early 1940s, the American male population was literally fighting on THREE war fronts, while many women were providing logistical help and the production of battle ordnance.   Thus, in 1943, while WWII was at its height, the US launched the Smokey the Bear Campaign.  

The presence of the Smokey the Bear ads means that, even in the early 1940s, forest fires were a great problem in the United States.  Therefore, the newspapers and magazines of decades past show that the chart below is factual.  There was an outrageously large amount of timber and brush burned throughout America so much so that nothing today compares.  This includes the LA Fires which easily could have been prevented, if only Californians would vote for people of common sense & natural instinct. 

None the less, the graph below is a Pre-Biden United States government product.  It is NOT the product of MAGA hat-wearing gun-toters in Texas or Alabama.   Even at that, 77.3 million voters were not merely MAGA hat-wearing hillbillies from the boonies.  City Slickers & Suburbanites voted for Trump, too.  

More importantly, millions of American rural folk know how to read & write, as well as perform work requiring mechanical aptitude and the reading of technical manuals.  Those people have to know how to read gages/gauges, and those gauge readers are more valuable than arrogant Humanities Dept profs whose topics are mostly subjective or subjunctive.  

It's more important to master a CDL exam than a Shakespeare exam.  And this statement is coming from a guy who does have literature sitting on a Harvard University library bookshelf, a Northwestern Univ library bookshelf, etc, as well as having literature in anthologies which also contain the works of national book award winners, a Pulitzer Prize winner, a Walt Whitman Award winner, etc.

It's the network media personnel who have shown themselves to have the "lower-than-expected" intelligences.  After all, Wolf Blitzer made an embarrassment of himself on Celebrity Jeopardy.  And he wasn't the only newscaster to do so.

It was only natural that fires in "those days" and in the 19th Century were catastrophic.  The number of yearly fires since 1960 do not compare to the yearly number of fires which occurred from 1929 to 1950.  This is more evidence that there is no climate crisis.  Things were worse in the Past.  Politicians and activists looking for lots of money and power having been lying to humanity, all along.

Opposite Directions

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

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

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