2022 was the Year of the Great Deja Vu of 1922

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gore's energy-consuming hypocrisy goes as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                                               MINUS  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The journalists' ironic contradiction

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now for Antarctica

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

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

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

Florida was the destination for another climate con game

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Glaciers not Conducive to Record Crop Production

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Smithsonian and Federal Funding

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

Climate Con Artists

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

March 25, 2025

Atmospheric Methane is less than 2 parts per million, and the microbes Bill Gates wants you to eat make the methane via co-enzyme M.

 Quick Note:  Being that there is an era known as the Antique Little Ice Age and a different one called, the "Little Ice Age," a novice could get confused between the two distinctly different eras of Earth history.  Therefore, at the Blue Marble Album, the Little Ice Age has been called the Mini Ice Age.  Well, if there are to come anymore posts on Atmospheric Science here, the "Little Ice Age" will be referred to as the Renaissance & Baroque Era Ice Age ... or something similar, solely for the sake of differentiation.  In addition, the 124 year period of sheer cold, known as the Antique Little Ice Age will be referred to as the Justinian Era Ice Age or the 536AD Ice Age.  This will also be done for the sake of differentiation.  Okay then, my fellow seekers of Truth, let us proceed.

The Methane (CH4) Scare is the Most Absurd of the Doomsday Climate Claims

Methane only exists in the Earth's Troposphere at 1.909 parts per million; 0.00019% of the atmosphere.  Therefore, methane is NOT a factor in Global Warming in any capacity, even though a methane molecule has 28 times more IR heat retaining capacity than does a co2 molecule, and even though its presence in the Troposphere doubled in the past 122 years or so.  There is simply not enough methane in the atmosphere for you to worry.  

Now, between the Year 2000 and 2007, the level of atmospheric methane stabilized. Then came an increase.  Even at that, the increases of recent years --- or in any year --- were only in the parts-per-BILLION echelon.  None the less, the year of the most ppb methane emissions, ironically enough, was the year of commerce shutdown ... the year of industrial layoffs ... the year of quarantine ... the Year 2020.  How did that happen?  Even at that, it was only a minute increase.

Ironically, methane comprises 70% or more of the composition of natural gas which is a clean burning fuel.  Methane has a 92% efficiency rate, while coal's is 32%.   Yet, clean burning natural gas has been demonized.

Methane's danger is proximate to (close to) coal miners, ironically enough.  There keeps coming reports that methane emissions from coal mines have been higher than previously assumed. That's a conversation for another time, as is also the by-product of coal, namely fly ash --- aka flue ash.

Now, methane is a paraffin hydrocarbon, aka an Alkane.  So, what is the irony to targeting methane as a carrier of "carbon footprints?"

ANS:  Paraffins contain LESS than 5 carbon atoms per molecule.  Benzene is 6 carbons in a closed chain.  This makes a methane molecule gaseous at room temperature.  This also makes such a molecule "immiscible with water."   This means that it won't mix with water and make a new substance.  This also means that methane will not meander in ocean water for decades, etc.  Therefore, if you hear another nerdy, dorky, dweebo scientist claim that methane is hiding in the oceans, ignore him and move on.

This than-less-5-carbon-atom feature explains why the methane which does emerge from the oceans in relatively minute amounts emerges predominately from the oceans' shallow coastal waters.  Concerning this:

There is the matter of clathrate deposits within the sea floor, 300+ feet buried within it, but at the ocean floors close to coastlines.  These actually are crystallized forms of methane mixed with water ... but under the ocean --- and not in the ocean water.  They're described as "cage-like" structures that house methane.   

The identifying mark of these embedded deposits are mounds at the sea floor.   So, is there a connection between the clathrate deposits and the methane that does emit from the oceans' coastal areas?  Or is this merely a coincidence.  

There is no readily identifiable source of coastal methane that does rise from the ocean, in small quantities thereof.  The question of science today is, "From where does the coastal methane come?"  Science does NOT have all the answers ... or even half the answers ... to anything.  Science is run by very imperfect humans who do not have x-ray vision.

Now, the assumption is that, if these methane deposits get released, a lot of methane will jet into the atmosphere.   However, these methane molecules are literally caged, and in a solid form.  If they want to rise from the ocean's surface, they need to call United Airlines or American Airlines.  None the less, uncaged (gaseous) methane will not mix with water.  It will simply jet out of the water, if unearthed from the ocean floor.

Methane Sources

Methane is made by microbes, via methyl-coenzyme M which acts upon methyl group molecules.  A methyl group molecule has three hydrogen atoms bonded to one carbon atom.  A fourth hydrogen atom is needed to construct methane.  

Well, methyl-coenzyme M bunches the three hydrogen atoms onto the spot of the enzyme where a nickle atom is located.  Nickle then bonds with sulfur and it sends the methyl group off without a needed electron.  The methyl group instinctively and immediately snatches a fourth hydrogen atom (much like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat.)  Thus, methane is made.

Bill Gates wants you to stop consuming meat and poultry, because, according to him, such a thing causes tremendous elevations of methane in the atmosphere.  So, he literally want you to eat microbe sandwiches.  He even displayed these microbe sandwiches on camera, for a news team.  

The great irony is that methane is made from microbes.  Bill Gates basically wants you to eat methane-making machines.  The guy is Gross-out City, and is lacking in sequential logic ... literally.

BTW, CNN lied when it claimed that methane is 84 times more potent in capturing IR light than is co2.   Methane is 28 times more potent than co2.  The Global Warming people are pathological liars who lie about everything.   They twist & exaggerate.

Concerning N2O, aka Nitrous Oxide, formerly known as Laughing Gas, it's 330 times more potent than co2 in IR light capturing capacity.  But, it only exists in the atmosphere at 1 part per THREE MILLION.  So, no problemo there.  

The unfiltered burning of coal would be the catastrophic problem, not because of co2, but because of actual toxins released into the air.  CO2 is your friend.  Mercury is NOT, when it enters your respiratory tract.  Mercury is in coal.  

Filtration is an absolute must, concerning coal.  So, leave co2 alone and worry about airborne coal vapor ... and even airborne fly ash when it's not filtered during the coal burning process.  

All in all, it's not Americans who need endless propaganda on the environment.  It's China and India who do.  America has the EPA and state regulatory commissions.  America mass-marketed the catalytic converter, etc.  

Of course, have fun going to China, to speak on any subject.  Communism isn't based on educating the masses, you know.  Een at that, China does use hydropower to the tune of 28.5% of its energy usage.  So, there's always hope in life.  The Climate Doomsayers cause confusion, in claiming that we are all gonna die in five years, unless we give tons of money to them ... and Al Gore.

Concerning water power, and even tidal power, water is 832 times more dense than is air.  That can turn turbines.  In fact, a tidal barrage would be the most powerful hydropower.   Such a power source is limited to coastlines.

January 2025 NOAA temperature anomaly report: MINUS 3.08 Fahrenheit.

For those entirely new to assessing climate behavior:  An anomaly is a deviation from the average.  In January of 2025, Planet Earth's surface temperatures were 3 Fahrenheit degrees below the average.  In February 2025, record cold transpired, also.  In fact, March started-off with record cold weather and general cold waves.

January's negative digit anomaly is significant, being that, during the Biden Years, humanity was being told that Planet Earth was locked in a Global "Boiling" Climate Crisis.  Thus, the past two months broke the hypnotic trance of the Biden Mouthpieces.  In fact, one individual writer called the February 2025 cold waves "history book weather."
Above:  The Y-Axis columns are based on  20 month intervals.  The time span covered here is January 2005 to January 2025.  The blue-ink graph posted at the bottom of this post covers 1940 to 1985.  So, take note of the difference in time between the graphs.  
This proves once again that there is NO run-away doomsday global boiling climate crisis "tipping point."  This means that is no positive feedback loops that endlessly encroach on Planet Earth's atmosphere, starting the "next extinction event."  

After all, the Maldives are still NOT underwater, no matter what the repeated failed prophet, Jim Hansen, claimed since 1988.  Contrary to the Hansen Doomsday Prophecy, the 2025 Maldives enjoy a thriving tourist and real estate industry, as well as a number of functioning airports.  

The West Side Hwy of NYC is not underwater, either, as Jim Hansen falsely prophesied in a 1988 senate subcommittee hearing.  In fact, some of Planet Earth's glaciers are growing in size at this very moment.  Record crop yields have been enjoyed throughout Planet Earth, throughout the 2020s.  Likewise, England did NOT turn into Siberia by 2020, and the glaciers of Glacier National Park were not "gone by 2020," either.  

The MINUS 3.08 degree Fahrenheit avg temp anomaly for January 2025 is decisive news.  It shows that the Biden-Era "Climate Crisis" People were nothing more than Climate Grifters.   There is an outrageously large amount of taxpayer dollars they owe to the American taxpayers.

Even when the outdoor CO2 level was notably lower than today ... such as in 1922 ... the media reported on global warming and melting Arctic ice.  That was over 100 years ago.  Every type of weather you can list has happened previously, over and over again and again.  Therefore, there is no never-before-seen weather.  

Yes, over 100 years ago, the press/media was stating that the world was undergoing Global Warming.  It was the same story as today, without the end-of-the-world hysterics.  At the time, Global Warming was seen as something that made the climate more livable.  After all, shivering is painful.  Observe:

As soon as Biden leaves office, we entered into an era of History Book Weather that undid the effect of every global boiling doomsday prediction told to us like scary campfire stories.

In review, the record cold & snow of January & February 2025 was a pivotal event, in showing that there is no "global boiling," "tipping point," positive feedback, climate crisis at hand.  This was also the case:

1] during the record breaking Winter cold of 2020-2021 (specifically during February 7th to the 20th, when there were 9,027 daily cold records tied or set).  This was also the case, 2] during the Winter of 2019,   3] as well as the Winter of 2015,  4] the Winter of 2014, and most especially  5] the Winter of 2009-2010.  Record cold & epic cold was transpiring all along ... in cyclical intervals of time ... throughout the time span regarded as a "global warming tipping point crisis."  See for yourself:






As far as goes March 2025, see:

  
In re: the graph above:  That particular graph is of surface temperatures and their deviation from average surface temps.  Roy Spencer & John Christy, in Alabama, both monitor the Lower Tropospheric Temperature, via the Aqua Satellite and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit.  

Roy & John recently reported that the temperature rise in the lower Troposphere has been 0.25 degrees Fahrenheit per decade.  They also reported that the temperature rate is NOT accelerating.  

Moreover, the decisive test for "global warming" or "global cooling" is the middle of the Troposphere.  Very simply, if there is no temperature rise in the middle of the Troposphere, then there is no global warming.

A copy of the NOAA graph above is also posted at the bottom of this post, at a larger size, for those who are too stubborn or too brainwashed to understand.  It's simple.  During the Biden Years, Americans were told a parade of lies.  This includes lies about climate and weather history.

The mature question which is:  What actually drives the temperatures?  

ANS:  It's not atmospheric CO2 which does so.  This is because 0.043% of the atmosphere ... with a radiative forcing of no more than 3.7 watts per meter squared ... can't drive the atmosphere.  Pressure Gradient Force drives the climate, in terms of degree of turbulence in the atmosphere.  This is why the Arctic Jet Streams meanders during Wintertime.  The further the temperature difference between the Poles and the Equator the more the turbulence ... and meandering.  Winter brings a larger difference in the temperature between the Arctic and the Equator.

Sunspot Activity not commensurate with heatwaves in history

Moreover, it also is NOT Sunspot Activity that drives the temperatures, unless there is a delayed effect from solar flares that has not yet been charted & graphed.  During some of the hottest times in the early 20th Century, there were many instances when sunspot activity was extremely low.  This included the inferno year of 1921, as well as the year regarded by NASA as the worst drought year in the past one thousand years.  That was 1934.  In conclusion, there has been heatwave weather when the sunspot activity was low.

In addition, there are times when an epic heatwave year would also host an epic cold winter.  This would include significant temperature anomalies in the negative digit range, come wintertime.  This translated into a super cold winter and super hot summer in the same one year ... or within two years.  Yet, in the record books, the winter/summer anomaly numbers evened-out to the point of making that year look non-eventful and mild.  After all, when you add a super cold winter to a super hot summer, you get zero, in the temperature anomaly department.

For example, England endured an outrageously cold February, in 1895.  In America, the temperature anomaly for Feb 1895 was MINUS 9.05 degrees Fahrenheit.  This was accompanied by Australia's epic drought which ran from Feb 1895 to 1903.  Keep in mind that February is summertime in Australia.

Then, in 1896, Northeastern America hosted Ten Days of Death, in one of a series of deadly heatwaves that visited America until the end of the 1930s.  This would be followed by the "Four Decade Temperature Decline" hidden by Michael Mann in his deceptive Hockey Stick Temperature Graph.  Yet, during that decline, in 1976, heatwave tragedy visited Europe.

Water Vapor

Moreover, 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume, is WATER VAPOR.  So, if Planet Earth's atmosphere is carrying too  much of a level of greenhouse gases, then Water Vapor is the cause. 

In as much, have you ever read of a Climate Crisis Activist ever mention "Water Vapor" as a greenhouse gas?  The failure to include Water Vapor in the greenhouse gas list is the sign of a total fraud who must be totally ignored by novices.  These same frauds need to be investigated by law enforcement authorities for Theft by Deception, being that some of these people received outrageously large sums of taxpayer dollars, in the name of a Climate Crisis which certainly doesn't exist.  These people are Grifters.

Then there is the matter of CIRRUS CLOUDS.  They are very effective in retaining (capturing) infrared heat.  Thus, if you got rid of all the CO2 and methane on Planet Earth, you would still have a 90% supply of greenhouse houses and the added help of cirrus clouds which are elongated masses of frozen water, ever so ironically.  It's just that, if you got rid of all the CO2, all life on Earth would cease, due to the end of photosynthesis ... which is commenced by the Sun.

The Oceans

This takes us to the oceans, as the driver of atmospheric temps, unless you want to entertain the Cosmic Wave Theory which is beyond the scope of this particular post.  Even at that, there have been Chinese scientists who wrote on the effects of weather by cosmic waves.  Thus, Cosmic Waves' Alleged Effect of Weather IS a topic worth studying. 

None the less, ENSO has its validity in determining temperatures, as in El Nino and La Nina.  The North Atlantic Oscillation was shown to have its validity, too.  

As far as goes the oceanic CO2 level, a certain individual, at the behest of the Biden Administration, claimed that 44% of the ocean-bound CO2 monitoring devices disappeared from service, due to Covid.  This was stated in 2023.   So, it was claimed that we just don't know how much CO2 is in the ocean.  HOWEVER, the vast majority of ocean water always is 39 degrees FAHRENHEIT.  Plus, CO2 captures no heat where the is no sunlight.

None the less, CO2's presence in ocean water is where the acidification debate comes into play.   So, keep in mind that the present ocean PH is at an average of 8.1.  Neutral is 7.0.  Moreover, if the oceans warm-up, less CO2 will be able to dissolve in the oceans.  I've already written on CO2 as it applies to the ocean, and there is a search engine at the top righthand corner of this page.  

The operative word here is IF.  After all, we underwent the recent fraud of unconscionable individuals who claimed that Florida Everglade runoff water was instead ocean water, distant from the shore.  Everglade water is much hotter than ocean water.  So, the claim at the time, in 2023, was that the ocean water off of Florida reached 101F.  The truth is that the ocean's surface temperature was 86F, on that day.  The Everglade run-off water was 101F on that same day, and that's nothing new.

So, there is the matter of fraud to consider when the ocean CO2 level is mentioned.  This was the case with the Resplandy, Keeling, et al paper of 2018 which had math errors.  The paper claimed that the oceans were warming at a rate much faster than expected.  It was an Apocalyptic paper which turned out to be a mathematical fraud.  Nature Magazine and a co-author of the invalid paper admitted as much.  Yet, the co-author defended as valid the general theory behind the paper. 

Even today, the vast majority of ocean water is 39F.

Super Cooled Water in the Arctic that did NOT turn into ice

Also remember that there is Arctic water which is Super Cooled, at 29.7F.  Thus, the lessening of Arctic sea ice extent can't all be written-off as melted ice.  And and and the Greenland Freshwater Run-off accusation of melted ice being released into the salty Atlantic Ocean has an invalidating feature to it.  

The Greenland Freshwater Runoff accusation looses its power in the fact that a number of major rivers unleash millions of gallons of fresh water per second into the salty Atlantic Ocean.  The amount of Greenland runoff water doesn't compare to the flow of the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence, the Congo, the Orinoco, and the Amazon ... combined.  So, where is the desalinization of the Atlantic in those places?  That influx of fresh Mississippi River water into the Gulf of Mexico/America did not cause the Gulf Stream to slow-down. 

By the law, President Donald Trump needs to change the name of the gulf to at least The Gulf of Atlantic America.  You know, there is a Gulf of California, too.  I stood on its shoreline.  America is huge in size.  One needs to define American geography & oceanography with more precision & certitude.

At this point, observe the following facts which prove that Planet Earth has NOT been in a warming-only scenario:

1} Antarctica had its COLDEST WINTER in recorded history, in 2021.  This occurred after the CO2 level had been steadily rising for the past 80 years, starting with the mass industrialization projects of WWII.  

2a} The largest amount of Antarctic Sea Ice Extent formed in 2014 or 2015.  This occurred 73 years after the start of the steady rise in atmospheric CO2.  

2bi} Moreover, it was in 2015 when New Zealand scientists found that the bottom of the massive Ross Ice Shelf was crystalized and NOT melting.  (Smoothness would denote melting.  Jaggedness denotes the opposite of melting.) 

2bii} At the time, this Ross Discovery was extremely unexpected, due to the resurgence of the "Global Warming" & "Climate Change" propaganda.  In 2009, that propaganda was invalidated after the publication of the 2009 Climategate Emails which proved that the "Global Warming" Movement was a grifter scam, done by those in search of massive funding from governments and/or NGOs.

3} The worst/coldest winter in 37 years occurred in 2014, also.

4} In December of 2023, the Russian towns of Delyankir, Oymyakon, and Yakutia underwent temperatures colder than -70F.  In the same December, Munich underwent -18C (0.4F) temps and approximately 15 inches of snow in one unit of time.

5} Record high crop harvests occurred all throughout the 2020s.  Yet, we were told that we were all going to be locked in crop failures and worldwide famine, due to the rise in CO2.  Excuse me, but CO2 is what makes crop yields plentiful.

6} Keep in mind that the Maldives still did not go underwater.  It still has several airports in operation.  This includes international airports.

7} Also keep in mind that the West Side Highway, in NYC, is still not underwater, as was predicted by James Hansen 36 years ago, in 1988, during a senate subcommittee hearing.

8a} On February 21, 2004, the US Edition of the Guardian reported that the Pentagon told President George Bush II that "Britain will be Siberian in less than twenty years."  

8b} The Same Guardian edition stated that:  "A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by the Observer warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas, as Britain is plunged into a Siberian climate by 2020."   It's now 2025, and none of this predicted doomsday scenario has happened.

8c}  That claim was based on the belief that melted summertime ice would flow off of Greenland into the Northern Atlantic, and slow down the Gulf current ... due to desalinization of the ocean & due to the inability of salt-free water to sink into the ocean's depth.   

8d}  Well, keep in mind that the hypocrisy of this claim consists in the fact that, during every second of ever hour of every day, MILLIONS of gallons of fresh, salt-free, river water rush into the Atlantic Ocean.   

9} From the Winter of 2009-2010 and onward, there certainly were intervals of record-breaking cold.  This included the record cold temperatures of January & February 2025 in America & Northern Asia.  

10} During the Southern Hemisphere's SUMMER MONTH of February, in 2025, New South Wales Australia, Victoria Australia, and Tasmania experienced subzero temperatures, CELSIUS.  This would translate into freezing temperatures, Fahrenheit, in the middle of the SUMMER OF 2025.

Once again, this involves the Australian & Tasmanian summertime, and such weather is known as a Summer Polar Outbreak.  It occurred in 2025, while the Northern Hemisphere was enduring all types of record breaking cold and snow.  See for yourself:


(Note: In the news article is the photo of a car with snow on it.  A date is written on the windshield: 16/2/25.  Australians place the day of the month first, and then the month second, in their numerical notation.  Thus, the note on the snowy windshield is 16th of February, 2025.  That's summertime in Australian.) 

11} Even Japan had record breaking snowfall in February of 2025.   See for yourself:


The Sudden & Extreme fall of the avg temp indicates no positive feedback mechanism for CO2

Scientists know that there is not enough CO2 in the sky to trigger global warming.  They hope to find a "positive feedback mechanism" triggered by the presently small amount of CO2 that would create an unending "loop" which would then result in unending temperature rise.  Well, January 2025 proved that there is no such positive feedback mechanism which would possibly cause the endless rise of temps.  The sudden drop in temperature showed that there is no unending gear ratchetting the temperature upward.  

It's the Urban Heat Island Effect

At the surface level of Planet Earth, you have asphalt which retains heat very successfully, upon its own power.  It does NOT need CO2 to do this.  In fact, sand ... beach sand ... also retains IR heat successfully well, on its own.  Such a thing is the opposite of "albedo."  

Albedo is the ability to reflect sunlight and its heat back into outer space.  The color white has a high level of albedo, in terms of percentage of sunlight deflected.  100% albedo is a mirror perfectly aligned against incoming & oncoming sunlight.

There already were a number of years where the average temperature anomaly was quite low, thereby already proving that there is no positive feedback mechanism triggered by a slight amount of atmospheric CO2.   

Most of these end-of-the-world climate crisis assertions were and are pieces of propaganda, designed to deceive the US Congress into shelling out outrageously large sums of taxpayer dollars to these scientists who failed to get the CO2 level to decline, despite billions of dollars already given to them ... and despite many years to do so.  However, American & European industry did achieve a decline in CO2 emissions, within their prospective nations.  The coal-fired power plants of China & India are causing the increase in atmospheric CO2.

The atmospheric CO2 level of Earth reached its record height ... for any time in the history of mankind ... under Biden and Harris, in May of 2024.  This occurred despite Biden's draconian measures designed to lower the CO2 count which already is quite low, comparatively speaking.  

None the less, today's rise in atmospheric CO2 is being caused by all of the recently built coal-fired power plants placed into operation in India & China.  In all recent "climate agreements," China was designated as "exempt" from having to participate.  Yet, the CO2 Level of today is NOT apocalyptic, anyway.  CO2 only occupies 0.043% of the sky outside.  In fact, 99.5% of the Earth's atmosphere is occupied by 1] Water Vapor,  2] Nitrogen,  3] Oxygen, and 4] Argon.   So think:  99.500% vs 00.043%.  Huge difference.

Now for the worldwide temperature DECLINE hidden by Michael Mann with his math trick

Take note that during 1941 to 1985, the average YEARLY temperature anomaly did NOT rise above ZERO degrees Fahrenheit.  Therefore, it did NOT rise to positive digits, for 45 years.  The ZERO MARK on the X axis of this graph is the double horizontal line somewhat close to the middle of the graph's grid lines.  Simply look for the double line going sideways.  That's the ZERO MARK.  All temperature anomalies from 1941 to 1985 are either less than ... or equal to ...  ZERO.

Of course, there were a minority of months which had a positive temperature anomalies throughout this time.  The prime example is July of 1980, when Dallas was completing its record of 42 consecutive days of 100+ Fahrenheit weather.

None the less, below is:  your "decline," ladies and gentleman.  It's the one that was hidden by Michael Mann, as was mentioned in the 2009 Climategate Emails.  It was regarded as Mike's Nature Trick, in Nov 12, 1999, by Phil Jones.  This was in reference to the Nature Magazine paper of Mann and other contributors.  It was published in 1999. 

Phil Jones was in charge of the East Anglia Climate Research Unit.  The trick to which he referred consisted in Michael Mann cutting off the Briffa Reconstruction graph line at 1961.  Mann then used thermostat readings, for 1961 and onward.

If I can get around to posting a sunspot activity graph of the United States gov, I'll do so.  But, the bottom line is that high sunspot activity does not co-exist with high heatwaves, unless there's a delayed mechanism that hasn't been charted, yet.  None the less, there is an 11 Year Sunspot Cycle, and sometimes, temperatures and weather seems to parallel the weather eleven years prior ... sometimes.

Now remember, the chart above depicts the Years 1940 to 1985. 
The chart below depicts the years 2005 to start of 2025.
