March 18th Antarctic plateau temperature rise: Warm Australian winds. Not caused by co2, as is evidenced by high (sunlight reflective) snow albedo.

NASA photo of none other than Antarctica
Let's take a few moments and look at the March 18, 2022 media reports on the Antarctic Plateau temperature rise, as was reported by the French and Italian scientists at the Concordia Dome C Research Station.  The temperature reading was conveyed as "provisional."  That denotes conditional ... contingent ... yet to be confirmed ... definitely not final.  

The report was that the Antarctic Plateau (located 10,607 feet above sea level) reached an extremely unique high of 11.3 degrees Fahrenheit (It should have been marked at 10.76F, by the way) and MINUS 11.8 Celsius. 

The average temperatures of the Concordia Dome C region for that day are -62F for a high and -75F for the low temp.  In addition, March 18 is the coldest day of the month for that area, statistically speaking.  THUS, it was a temperature anomaly wave, as opposed to a heat wave that occurred for about five days there.  Yet, it involved big numbers, relatively speaking.

This March 18 temperature did get news coverage, but it would have been an insult to even the average intelligence to have blamed the temperature on co2.  This is because the Antarctic Plateau is shear white, and the Albedo of ice/snow is 85, meaning that 85% of all the sun rays which hit a sheet of snow/ice reflect back into outer-space.  That means that . . .

. . . there simply isn't the presence of infrared light at the Antarctic Plateau to affect or effect temperature there.  

Now remember, greenhouse gases have no power in the absence of infrared light.  Therefore, greenhouse gases are instantly ruled-out as a cause of anything decisive where there is there is the whiteness of a snow-scape or an ice-scape.  

As was proven via the many heatwaves & droughts of centuries past (when co2 levels were 108 to 138 ppm LOWER than today), CO2 is NOT the driver of climate in any capacity.  Rather, CO2 is the driver of PHOTOSYNTHESIS, and without photosynthesis, life on Earth eventually ceases.  To kill off co2 is kill off mankind.  This explains why pro-abortion activists are obsessed with the Al Gore "Climate Change" doctrine.  They hate humanity and want to kill it off, as much as possible.

They claim that mankind is killing Planet Earth.  But, the statistics are that Planet Earth has been killing humanity very successfully throughout the centuries, via:

{1} hurricanes, {2} tornadoes, {3} droughts, heatwaves & crop failure, {4} plagues, {5} tsunamis, {6} volcanoes, {7} cold spells, {8} lightning strikes, {9} wild animal attacks, {10} shark attacks, {11} blizzards, {12} avalanches, {13} allergic reactions, {14} poison mushrooms, {15} poison plants. {16} heavy metal contamination, {17} forest fires, {18} floods, {19} pestilence, and {20} EARTHquakes.

It's a mystery that any human is still alive on Earth.

Now, the co2 levels of 2021 were the same as 2022, and 2021 is when Antarctica had its coldest winter on record ... in all of known history.  Thus, if you have two drastically different types of climate while having the same one co2 level, then co2 did not cause the drastically different climate events which occurred in less than 8 months' time.  The case is closed on this.  However, the students of the American public school system, having been as brainwashed as any students of centuries past, will hold on to that belief.  This includes the stubbornness and insistence of Hitler's Youths.

The higher than usual temperature of March 18 on the Concordia Plateau was said to have been caused by warm Southeastern Australian winds and "an atmospheric river." That phrase is new to me, UNLESS it's meant to describe the reality that the air above oceans is LATENT HEAT.  But, apparently, it didn't mean that.

None the less, a review of the Specific Latent Heat of Vaporization is essential for all beginners-novices.  Therefore, the following will help, after the following quick intro:

Q:  What is heat?  ANS #1:  It's energy.  ANS #2: It's transferable energy.  ANS #3:  It's transferable energy in motion.  More Specifically:  It's transferable kinetic energy.

Q2:  How does it transfer?  ANS: Via convection or conduction or thermal radiation (which involves electromagnetic radiation.) 

In as much, hot air rises.  Cool air descends.  Low pressure rises.  High pressure descends.  Plus, wherever you have cold air, you have dry air.  For now, that which matters is the Latent Heat of Vaporization (aka Enthalpy)  There also exists Latent Heat of Fusion.

See:  Latent Heat Tutorial

Also see:  Additional Latent Heat Tutorial for beginners

Now, an atmospheric river is described as something that carries a tremendous amount of water.  Well, it was NOT humid in Concordia on March 18.  

I simply assumed that the Australian winds rode the Latent Heat altitude above the Southern Ocean and then traveled inland for 680 miles, up the incline that leads to the Antarctic Plateau.  

Maybe the winds were of the Chinook variety ... the Foehn variety ... the Santa Ana variety ... downsloping.  However, downsloping winds compress as they rapidly heat.  The Concordia Plateau was low pressure city.  Yet, there was a climb up an incline that was the height of a mountain.  This translates into Adiabatic Heating and Orographic rain.  Such a thing is usually followed by instant heating of compressed wind going down a mountain.  

The difference with March 18, 2022 was that the wind was NOT traveling downhill in a compressed state.  It was crossing a plateau at low pressure.  But, it was exceptionally hotter than expected, even though it still remained well below freezing temperatures.

After all, if it were a matter of orographic rainfall following the path of the 10,607 foot  incline, the report would have mentioned at least a token amount of rain.  Did it?  I didn't see any rain report.  Well, it should have rained in the desert called Antarctica, being that, when air rises, precipitation falls.

If orographic rain were involved, then this was a typical adiabatic heating event, and there had to have been an actual atmospheric river floating across Antarctica.  Yet, it was such a rare event for a typical action to have caused the rarity.  None the less, the Global Warming Lobbyists made a spectacle out of this event.

The most important factor is that co2 did NOT cause this, evidenced by snow's high albedo and therefore it's high reflectivity of sunlight back into outer-space.  Period. 

Latent Heat

Concerning the oceans emitting latent heat, this phenomenon is what happens when "super-cooled" water has it's temperature raised to 32 degrees Fahrenheit.  As the temperature rises to the usual freezing point, heat is released.

Incidentally, super cooled water is that which remains liquid even though it's below 32F.  As the super cooled temperature rises, calories of heat are released into the air above the ocean surface.  Did anything like this happen between Australia and Antarctica on March 18, 2022?

One question at this point:  Why is super cooled water still liquid when below 32F?  ANS:  That water has not yet released its calories.

~~~

Anyway, a recessed front was present in Antarctica on March 18, and such a thing enables a wind to insert itself.  It is similar to those openings in enemy formations that Alexander the Great always searched to find and penetrate.

The temperature anomaly lasted until the 21st of March.  Yes, -22F was a heat anomaly.

BTW, Antarctica has dark desert land which can allow sunlight free-rein.  But, Antarctica is 5.5 million square millions and mostly white.  Albedo prevails there.

None the less, the "apparent" ... the "seeming" ... record high temperature of March 18 was amended on a couple record-keeping data sheets.  The MINUS 11.8 degree Celsius number was changed to MINUS 17.7C in one data set, and MINUS 20C on another set.

This translates into -4 and 0 degrees Fahrenheit which doesn't look as apocalyptic as originally reported. 

Below is an illustration of the Australian wind (green colored border) inserting itself into an Antarctic front (blue) on March 18, 2022.  It arrived at a low-pressured 850 hector-pascals.  This would translate into 12.32 psi --- aka 25.1 inches of mercury, in terms of air pressure, and it was following the Coriolis Effect for a low pressure system in the Southern Hemisphere.  (Incidentally, standard surface air pressure throughout the Earth is 14.7 psi.)  

The Vostok Station got similar temperatures at the same time.  Incidentally, Vostok means "East"in Russian.  Vostok is 350 miles from Concordia.  It's close to the distance between Pittsburgh and the New Jersey border.  In mid-March 2022, they shared similar temperatures, 350 miles apart.

Speaking of Jersey, while the media endlessly harped on heat waves and decreasing water levels, the Jersey shoreline water was exceptionally chilly.  And why?  

ANS:  Because of Upwelling ... because of water rising through the Pycnocline layer of the ocean, making its way to the surface.  It brings with it rich nutrients for the ocean dwellers.  

The average temps for Jersey ocean water, for August, is around 70 - 75 degrees, and it has made it to 79F.  This August, it was found to be 58F and similar temps.

This is pertinent, in light of the Resplendy-Keeling paper of recent years, where it was claimed that the ocean is heating 60% faster than assumed.  Well, the paper had mathematical errors in it that invalidated it.   

At Jersey this Summer, that Resplendy paper was doubly invalidated, being that the upwelling water is soooooo cold.  I stated previously that the majority of ocean water is dark and 39 degrees Fahrenheit.  Well, the Jersey shoreline concurs.  It was Brrrr City there.

Jersey ocean water 12 to 18 degrees Fahrenheit colder this summer

Back to the Concordia Station

The bottom line is that co2, n2o, & methane (ch4) had NOTHING to do with the March 18, 19, 20, 21 temperature rise which still stayed mostly 30 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit under the melting point.

Moreover, Antarctic March is equivalent to Northern Hemispheric September when there are temporary returns of Summer temps.  Take note of the change of ... the adjusting of ... the amending of ... the March 18, 2022 temperature.


 ~  ~  ~

Below:  Take note of the barometer reading for March 18.  It's 28.5 Hg.  That translates into 965 millibars.  That's a category 2 hurricane pressure.  None the less, an anabatic wind is dependent upon solar irradiance, instead of pressure... so say the writers of the textbooks.  That's the opposite of a katabatic wind which is a Chinook Wind and a Foehn Wind and a down-sloping wind.

The low humidity makes things believable enough in this case.

Looks like the end of the world has been postponed.  The world needs consolation more than theatrics & hype.  Easily bored people need theatrics and hype.  Easily bored people are boring people.  So, they market hype, instead of hope.

Boring people are void of true intrigue, such as how things work in nature.  Closed minds learn nothing, especially those in brainwashing chambers (called classrooms) where they repeatedly heard, "co2", "greenhouse gases," and "the burning of fossil fuels."

~~~

The media simply wants to see people hyped-up ... as in sensationalism ... as in running wild in the streets, setting fires.  This is done in search of higher ratings.  That wild-in-the-streets pyromania has been done before.  Nothing new or intriguing there.  Try to solve some of life's mysteries, instead of ending life.  Intrigue is built into the human system.

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

antarctica, snow, ice, landscape, south pole, polar, panorama, frozen, north pole, cold 

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.

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.
