The Great "London-is-burning" Lie of July 19, 2022 ... conjured by the media

The following was written in 2022.  But, it is far more pertinent today, in light of the continuing hoax which claims the world to be in a Climate Crisis.  There are over 60 climate-related discourses here, to prove the sky-is-falling claim to be an insult to a reasonable person's intelligence.  And they are supported with numerous pieces of evidence which, predictably enough, is known as "Evidentiary Support."  

In as much, if you don't at least look through the numerous pieces of evidence here, then you have zero right to speak on the subject.  Mentioning one biomarker ... one statistic taken out of context ... is the sign of someone easily persuaded and therefore easily duped.  Of course, the rise in CO2 is the sole marker cited in doomsday diatribes.  Yet, the amount still is a mere trace amount in the atmosphere which is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 9% Argon, and a mere 0.044% of CO2 which has three vibrational modes, one of which renders CO2 incapable of capturing Infrared Light.

Ironically enough, like a typical dictator, Al Gore refused to entertain conversations and debates about his doomsday climate claims.  This is because he knows that he will lose the debate ... the cross-examination.  In the words of Jackie Gleason (super famous TV host of the 1960s) "And away we go."

Let us begin with the various fire & incident frequency charts provided to the public by the London Fire Brigade.  Concerning Greater London's size, it encompasses an area of 610 square miles.  

Keep in mind that, during July of 2022, the media kept stating that the rise in atmospheric co2 was finally causing an out-of-control rise in Greater London fires.  Well, the opposite is true.

From the Year 2004 to the Year 2022, the annual number of London Area fires were cut in half, in comparison to the fire numbers ranging from 1969 to 2004. In fact, each individual year ... from 2004 to 2022 ... was 1/3 of what it was in 1976.  

Moreover, the year prior (2021) was the year of the least number of fires in the record-keeping history of Greater London.  Meanwhile, the Year 2022 had the fourth least number of fires in the Greater London area ... since the beginning of record-keeping there.  In fact, while the atmospheric co2 level was rising throughout the years 2004 to 2022, the number of Greater London fires continuously decreased.  Therefore, an elevation of co2 will NOT cause your city or town to dry-out & burn-up.  See for yourself.

In July of 2022, the media claimed that atmospheric co2 finally reached a tipping point.  In July of 2022, the same media began the countdown to the End of the World ... proverbially speaking.   On the 19th of that month, the London Area thermometers went above 100F.  In London, the official reading was 102F.  In a town located 11 miles west of London, the reading was 104F, for two hours only.

The claim was that co2 was saturating the atmosphere so badly that it was now causing London to dry-out and burn out-of-control.   The newscasters claimed that, on July 19th, the London Fire Brigade had its "most incidents" since the bombing of London, in WWII.  

The same media said that the London Area had the most fires in any one day, on July 19, 2022.  The truth is that July 19, 2022 wasn't anywhere close to that.  In comparison to any WWII air raid, the July 19th incidents was less than chump change.  Compared to the daily average of fires in 1976, the number of fires on July 19th was 52 fires LESS.  

Compared to the daily average of Greater London fires in 1970, 1975, 1979, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2003 and a few other years, the number of July 19th fires were 24 to 38 LESS.  At the very least, there were approximately 2,500 Greater London days that had more fires than did July 19th day.  Reporting July 19th as the worst day since a world war was like lighting a candle with one matchstick and claiming it to be a 5-alarm fire.

In the entire Year of 2022, there were 19,297 fires in the 607 sq mile area known as Greater London.  In 1976, there were over 60,000 fires in the exact same area. In 1989, 1990, 1995, and 2003 there were over 55,000 fires EACH YEAR, in the exact same Greater London region.   More important is the fact that, in every year from 1969 to 2005, there were at least 40,000 fires.  That amounts to 37 consecutive years when the yearly fire count was at least TWO TIMES MORE than it was in 2022.   This also amounts to an average of 164 fires per day during 1976 versus an average of 53 fires per day in 2022.

Now, July 19 was an average day in terms of "incidents."  The daily average for 2022 was 343 incidents per day.  In 2022, 47% of all Greater London incidents were false alarms; 59,415 of them.

On July 19, 2022, there were 362 incidents.   On that same day, there were 142 false alarms.  There were 112 fires on that day, and that number has an ironic twist to it.  This is because the daily averge of fires from 1970 to 2004 were at least 109.  Thus, July 19, 2022 was an average day, when looking at the big picture. 

A complete London Fire Brigade Incident Record for July 19 can be found directly below, via 7 photo-copies.  You can do the statistics yourself.

https://www.bluemarblealbum.com/2024/05/July2022-official-greater-london-fire-stats.html

Let's review this correctly, without any sleight of hand con artistry:

Between 1970 and 2004, the 610 square mile region known as Greater London had between 109 to 164 fires PER DAY.  This translates into 60,000+ fires per year and 40,000 fires per year.  Then, in the Year 2009, yearly London fires decreased below 30,000.  Then, in 2014, yearly fires decreased to 20,000 per year.  So, between 2015 and 2022, Greater London had an average of between 41 to 55 DAILY fires.  Thus, it was an unconscionable lie to have stated that Greater London's climate had gotten out of control.  The opposite was true.

The number of London fires were literally cut in half, while co2 increased significantly in the atmosphere.   Thus, a courtroom lawyer could actually tell a jury that the rise in co2 caused a decrease in London fires.  Yet, the truth is that co2 remains at such a small atmospheric level that it can't affect the air, either for good or for bad.  The only greenhouse gas which holds influence is water vapor.  In fact, Cirrus clouds retain infrared light more effectively than does co2.  

The atmosphere is humongous.  Acres of plants, trees, weeds, and blades of grass are all tiny, in comparison.  CO2 drives the biosphere; not the atmosphere.  The other greenhouse gases ... other than water vapor ... are too small in quantity to drive any air mass greater than a laboratory experiment chamber.

Ther article below is "truncated."  It's only part of the whole.  The entire article can be found by clicking here:

"London fires drop by 64% in a decade, according to brigade"

 

Back to 2022

The pronounced decrease in Greater London fires occurred while the population of the area increased by 1,300,000 people.  Now, an increase in population brings with it an increased probability of fires.  However, despite the simultaneous increase in the London Area population and in the atmospheric CO2 level, Greater London achieved an eighteen-year-long streak of consistently decreased fire event numbers.  Thus, CO2 is not as powerful as the media claims it to be, in killing-off society.   The asininity of demonizing CO2 is that, without CO2, life on Earth ceases.  After all, CO2 is the activator of photosynthesis. 

At this point, keep in mind that the media in July of 2022 showed houses or small buildings on fire, as if CO2 caused spontaneous combustion throughout London.  "Chart #17" below is from the London Fire Brigade, and it mentions that "House fires in Greater London have reduced drastically since 1981."  This decrease occurred while co2 levels were rising and while the population of Greater London was rising by an additional 1.3 million people.

This proves that in no way did the constant rise of atmospheric co2 cause an increase in Greater London fires.  Thus, the 2022 London news reports were all scams.  It was one big false alarm.   In as much, let's view additional evidentiary support provided by the London Fire Brigade:

Above:  The stats of 2021.  That's last year.  Last year was the year of the LEAST NUMBER OF FIRES in the London Area, in all of London's recorded history.  In as much, 14,929 is much less than 40,000.

Most important is that the co2 level of 2021 was the exact same co2 level of 2022, minus an insignificant one and a half parts per million.  The exact same co2 level gave the 610 square mile London Vicinity its LOWEST AMOUNT of fires-per-year, ever since record keeping began.  Thus, we have 100,000% proof that the co2 level of 2022 did NOT cause London to catch on fire, as the media very falsely claimed, to its future legal detriment. 

Above are the stats for the Year 2020.  This is the year with the second LOWEST number of fires.  17,409 is also much less than 40,000.

Directly below are the stats for the Year 2022, as of October of that year.  The Year 2022 will be one of the lowest incident & fire years on record.  In fact, it thus far is the year with the least number of incidents, depending on the November & December stats.  But as far as goes its final tally for fires, that is projected to be about 18,000 to 19,000, if this chart (posted in November) includes the October fire statistics.  If the chart below only includes the stats up to September, then the projected sum total is 20,000 to 21,000 for the year.  This also is much less than the typical 40,000+ yearly fires that occurred between 1968 and 2004.

This was "as of September 2022."

 

 

This was 2022 in its entirely; the fourth lowest number of fires in its record-keeping history.  Take note that there were 59,415 false alarms in the same year.

Below is the Year 2009.  It's posted here to show you that other years had many more fires than did the Year 2022, in addition to what the 2014 London Fire Brigade graph showed.  The 29,591 fires of 2009 are much more than the 14,929 fires of 2021 and the 19,297 fires of 2022.

 

 

Below is the Year 2010, posted to show the same.   The 27,462 fires of 2010 are a whole lot more than the 14,929 fires of 2021 ... and the 19,297 fires of 2022.  Thus, there was no co2 saturation burning-up Greater London.  It was all a lie.

 

And of course, in order to show that there is no cherry picking going-on here, the Year 2011 is included.  Its fire numbers are also much higher than those of 2022, as well as 2021.  Thus, 2022 was NOT the tipping point in any capacity.  It was merely another year where the media once again lied to the public.

 

 

Many other years had averaged many more calls (incidents) per day than 2022 ... and 2011.  In fact, the Year 2009 had an average of 370 "incidents" (fire calls) per day.  After all, it had 134,379 incidents.  There has always been a high number of fire-calls ("incidents") in Greater London, in any one day.   There were 350 "incidents" throughout Greater London, in 2022.  The average daily incidents for the entire year of 2022 was 348.  That was typically average ... not a record-breaking day.

 

UK's 2022 crop yields also prove the London-is-burning-due-to-co2 alarm to be a false one.

Now, when you see a fire occurring near green grass and green leafage, the fire is not fueled by dried-out grass and leafage.  Moreover, being that the media claimed England to have been the victim of drought and heatwaves in the Summer of 2022, one would logically conclude that the 2022 harvests of the UK would be dismal crop failures.  Well, they turned out to be very healthy crop yields, thereby showing the July 2022 media members to be a cabal of sophomoric liars.  Observe:

No downhill sliding board here.  Steady crop yield pattern, with increases, since the Year 2000.

In 2022, the UK enjoyed an 8 1/2% increase in cereal grains.  It was simply that there was an approximate 1% less and a 1 1/2 % less moisture content in the harvested grains than average.  So, where is the great co2 disaster in Britain, during 2022.  The agricultural industry didn't see one, at all. 

None the less, wheat was up 11% and barley was up 6%.  The UK's main oilseed harvest was up by 39%, but the crop yield increase was only 17%, being that the UK used more farmland for planting its main oilseed crop.  In fact, the UK used 13% less farmland for oats, and the oats yield for 2022 was surmised (estimated) to be 10% less than last year.  Technically, this translates into a humble 3% increase for UK oat farmers, per acre. 

Conclusion:  There is no man-made-co2 driven climate catastrophe occurring in Greater London.  

Concerning 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 atmosphere is made of [1] 78% carbon-free Nitrogen, [2] 21% carbon-free Oxygen, [3] 0.93% carbon-free Argon.  Thus, the Earth's atmosphere is already at least 99.93% carbon-free.  

 

Know that the concentration of co2 in the atmosphere is so low that, for every 2,398 molecules in the sky, only one of them is co2.  One more time:  Outside in the sky, there is 1 and only 1 co2 molecule for every 2,398 molecules out there.  Round it off to 1 co2 molecule for every 2,400 molecules in the atmosphere. 

 

China, India, & Indonesia are the present concerns:  Not London.

 

The only valid present concern is whether the construction of multiple Chinese, Indian, & Indonesia coal power plants will result in the aggressive rise in atmospheric co2, or will there be carbon capture technology provided with each new coal plant.  An aggressive rate of rise changes the picture, moderately for the present --- but significantly for the distance future, as in the next century.

 

At present, there's not an immediate hysteric concern.  No scientist publicly claimed that the world is coming to an end, due to "greenhouse gases" in twelves or in 112 years.  However, the recent history of Beijing does not give humanity much trust in the ruling political political of today's China, not to mention the ruling parties of India & Indonesia.  So, we cringe, wondering what will become of the atmosphere in the decades to come.  

 

This is why hoaxes like the London one have to be ejected from society's concerns.  China, India, & Indonesia are what count.  Not London and not healthy Australia ... and not the American Southwest which got its share of monsoon rains in recent years.  Moreover, there is the issue with Mercury and Sulfur Dioxide when it comes to coal use.  That must be addressed more so.  BTW, refusing to go to high school in Sweden isn't going to help, at all.

Qualifying Note:  The Sulfur Hexaflouride issue is the other important concern at present.  That one can still be proverbially nipped at the bud, though.  However, you don't jag around with something like Sulfur Hexaflouride.  You cut to the chase and get the task done.  The task is finding its substitute.   It's all too tempting for industry not to do so.

We proceed to 1901, 121 years before the July 2022 day placed under amplified attention by the media.  July 19, 2022 was presented as the unprecedented beginning of the End of the World.  The media claimed that it was a day unprecedented in the history of England.  They lied.  The truth is the climate is CYCLICAL --- unless something.   In as much, the Year 2022 was little more than the Year of the Great Deja Vu ... of 1922.  Enough newspaper photocopies on that year are already posted at thr Blue Mrble Album.  We'll go back further, to 1901, so that you can see that "this" has all been seen and experienced before, time after time.

Let's sail over to Italy, to see how it was doing in August of 1901.

It is often stated that "history repeats itself."  Well, that is the historically proven case, concerning Climate History.  And remember, in 1901 the co2 level was a mere 296 parts per million.  The co2 count was 121 ppm LESS than today.  It was 29% LOWER than today.  Yet, sweltering heat & much more dry drought-inducing heat occurred and reoccurred throughout the first four decades of the 20th Century than today.  This was when the co2 level was much lower than today.  

 In 2014, NASA declared that the worst drought year in the past 1,000 years was 1934.  The co2 level at he time was 309 ppm.  That's 108 ppm LOWER than today.  Yet, according to the Al Gore theory, 2020, 2021, and 2022 should have been the worst drought years.  Well, contrary to what the media claimed, Arizona & Nevada have been getting yearly monsoon rains.  This neglect of reporting the truth is the result of media's managers wanting to deceive you into thinking that we are trapped in a deadly circle of Dante's Inferno.  The truth is that we are doing nothing more than repeating history in a cyclical fashion.

In caveman days, the co2 level was 260 ppm.   And during recent heated eras, such as the Roman Warm Period & the Medieval Warm Period, co2 was only 280 ppm.  Today, atmospheric co2 is 421 ppm, and today's heat is quit  only a repeat performance of the past.  The two 1901 articles above are a small sample of the hundreds of pieces of documentary evidence which show that a rise in temperature is not dependent upon a rise in co2.  Rather, according to ice core analysis, a rise in temperature historically came first, resulting in added evaporation of ocean water and the simultaneous emission of additional co2 into the atmosphere.

Climate is a pattern --- not a week-long event or even a month-long event.  July 18th & 19th were the the result of a dry air mass from Northern Africa.   And yes, there were a couple weeks of no rain --- in July, when such a thing is likely to happen.  However, after July 19th, everything instantly went back to normal.  The "back-to-normal" part is the climate.  

To call July 2022 "unprecedented" makes knowledgeable people roll their eyes and say, "Give me a break, and cut it out with the theatrics."  After all, there was such a thing as the Great Fire of London in 1666, along with ~the Great Fire of Tooley Street, 1861, ~the Burning of the Parliament, aka the Palace of Westminster (which was a complex of buildings), 1834, ~the Whitehall Palace Fire, 1698, ~the London Bridge Area Fire, 1633, the first London Bridge Fire, 1135, ~the Southwark Fire of 1212, ~the Great Fire of 1087, ~the Great Fire of Aldgate which burned all the way to Ludgate and which included St. Paul's Cathedral, 961, ~the Fire of 120 AD, when the Romans ruled.  

And of course, there were the fires caused by Boudicca's rage.  Those were not atmospheric science issues.  In fact, the Great Fire of 120 AD could have been an act of war, as well.  None the less, calling the July 2022 London fires unprecedented invalidates a journalist, as much as does calling July 2022 a co2 cataclysm.  After all, the rise in co2 for the last 19 years was accompanied by a major decrease in London fires.

Now, Planet Earth has had atmospheric co2 at  levels 9 times and even 16 times HIGHER than today.  In fact, during the height of atmospheric co2, the Cambrian Explosion occurred, resulting in the emergence of multi-celled sea life.  And later in history, when atmospheric co2 was 9 times higher than today, the Ordovician Ice Age was in progress.  This assertion, of course, is all a matter of "ice-core proxy evidence," inter alia. --- (Inter alia means, "and other things.")  Incidentally, the "inter alia" included the stoma-count of fossilized leaves.  Stoma are openings in the leaves, where co2 is absorbed.

 

 Anyway, London had two back-to-back heat days, one week apart.  The first week comprised two 87 degree Fahrenheit days.  One week later, there was a 99 degree Fahrenheit day, followed by a 103 degree Fahrenheit day.  After the 103 Fahrenheit day of July 19, the temps immediately went back to normal.  But, the propaganda machines had a field day with Britain's sole 100+  Fahrenheit day.  Oh, it was Armageddon 3.0, the Apocalypse 4.0, and the End of the World, squared & cubed.

Needless to say,  it was everybody's fault, for riding in motor vehicles and keeping warm in the Wintertime, as well as using evil evil air conditioners in the Summertime. 

Below is the London Temperature Calendar, for July 2022.  Here's the London that was presented by the media as an overly heated inferno.  Show me where this super oppressive, long-term, human-body-killing heat is, in the London Summer of 2022.  Yes, there are a couple of weeks of temperature anomalies, in London.  But, there was nothing that resulted in the death phrases "may have caused" and "likely to have caused."  This was followed by a ridiculous number Paris experienced in 1976 & 2003.

And of course, there was so much misinformative hype about Paris in July of 2022 that it insults the intelligence.  Those news articles use the phrases, "likely to have caused" and "may have caused" a certain number of deaths that equaled the deaths suffered by Britain, during the first day of the Battle of the Somme.  None the less, deadly heatwaves, deadly droughts, deadly storms, deadly floods, deadly pestilence, deadly algae blooms, hurricanes, blizzards, cold snaps, Yellow Sky days, ice stacking, glacier growths, glacier meltdowns, etc, etc, etc.  It all happened throughout the past 700 years.  

The sophomorically trained and sophomorically educated journalists look for that one tipping point moment.   Climate is an habitual trend ... NOT a one-day, two-day or even two-week event.  Here, see the temperatures of July 2022 yourself.

The actual Great London Fire Brigade Incidents Report of July 19, 2022, showing that the media lied to humanity, as usual.

Prelim Note: Photocopies of the official July 19, 2022 London Fire Brigade's Incident Report are posted below, at the end of this post.  Also posted within this post are other official London Fire Brigade statistical products that were published for public view.   Such a conveyance of information is known as "public relations."

Let's review another insult to the intelligence, compliments of the modern commercial media.  July 19, 2022 was the day.  A dry wind had been in England from Africa.  Such a thing will reduce humidity considerably ... but only temporarily.   Also, the high temp of the day was over 100F.  Eleven miles from London, for two hours, the temperature was 104F.   Elsewhere nearby, it was 102F.

The day prior, it was an equally rare 98F.  Even the week prior had a few days in the mid-80s Fahrenheit, for the high of each day.  Other than that, England had no dreadful climate condition.  It was far from Paris during its 1911 heatwave, its 1976 heatwave, and its 2003 heatwave, as well as Paris' 2022 heatwave.  None the less, the media had to hyper-exaggerate the weather in London, telling the world that life-given co2 was now burning down London.  The actual claim was that the rise in co2 caused London area wooden structures and wooded areas to be easily vulnerable to igniting and burning.

So, the media showed the video of a regular, ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-mill fires.  The narrator was mentioning that that fire was ignited because the atmospheric co2 level had risen to an intolerable level.  It was said that the London Fire Brigade (the LFB) had its most "incidents" since World War II. It was said that the fire brigade was sooooo overwhelmed that it couldn't keep-up with all the calls made to its dispatcher offices.

The bottom line ... the conclusion ... was that the world had now reached a tipping point, and that the number of fires throughout the 607 square mile terrain called Greater London would keep increasing, month by month ... and year by year ... until complete catastrophe would prevail.

Now for the truth:  You need to begin with the statistical graph below, produced and published by the London Fire Brigade, itself.  It shows that, as of the Year 2014, the yearly number of fires which occurred in Greater London decreased by more than 50%.  Greater London fires were cut in half.  This, alone, invalidates the July 2022 doomsday claim of media reporters who are apparently far too lazy to do a little homework, before opening their mouths and causing emotional trauma amongst schoolchildren, their moms, and people who never do any true fact-checking.

Now, record-keeping of the fire calls to the Greater London Fire Brigade ... and the results of those phone calls ... began in 1966.  As you can see in the graph below, from 1970 to 2005, there were at least 40,000 fires per year in the 607 square miles area called Greater London.  In 1976, there were over 60,000 fires.  And in the Years 1970, 1979, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2003, there were more than 50,000 fires per year in Greater London.

In contrast, in the Year 2022, when the media claimed that London was now being overwhelming with increasing fires, there were only 19,298 fires in Greater London.  More impactfully is the fact that, in the Year 2021, there were the LEAST NUMBER OF FIRES in any one year since Greater London record-keeping began.  In 2021, there were 14,929 fires.  

So, let us compare:  60,000+ fires in 1976 vs 14,929 fires in 2021.  Moreover, 50,000+ fires per year in 1970, 1984, 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2003 VERSUS 19,298 fires in 2022.

Now, compare the fire states in the incident record below to the graph above.  A lot loess fires during the year when the mainstream media very falsely claimed that Great London fires were now on the rise, due to co2.  Fires in each year of the 2010s & 2020s had become half of what they were in the 20th Century.  Also take note that, in 2022, there were 59,415 false alarms.

For the record, below is the year with the least number of Greater London fires, namely 2021.  In addition, there were 53,486 false alarms in 2021.  Thus, the July 2022 news reports about London catching on fire in great numbers was a complete falsehood.

Below:  And of course, we need to contrast 2021 & 2021 with an yearly year.  Well, the earliest available is 2009.  There were more incidents and fires in 2009.  There were also 62,991 false alarms in 2009.

Below:  The LFB officially reported that house fires have reduced "drastically" since 1981.  Thus, the 2022 claim that co2 levels reached a tipping point that caused London fires to increase is a complete lie.

Below is yet another publication of the London Fire Brigade which reported that yearly fires between 2010 to 2016 were much lower than those which transpired from 1970 to 2005.  The yearly fires from 2017 to 2023 have even been lower in number.   This also shows that July 2022 media to have been a gang of liars, in asserting doomsday claims that were the opposite of the doomsday reports.

Now for the temperature record of July 2023, one year later.  If co2 caused Greater London to reach a tipping point, then the temperatures of this past July have been alarmingly high.  Below is the July report from the world-renown Weather Channel.  Look and see for yourself if the July 2023 were a month of blazing heat or a month of moderate and quite tolerable temps.

Directly Below:  The Month of July 2023 temperature report, by the equally renown Accuweather Corporation.

Added note: As far as goes the Summer of 2024, there was one day where the temperature reached 90F.  One 90 degree day is NOT the end of the world ... nor a climate crisis ... nor global boiling.

Below:  The actual July 19, 2022 London Fire Brigade Incident Report in detail.  Compare the statistical numbers of this day to those within the Years 1970 to 2005.  You will realize that in no way was July 19, 2022 the day of the most incidents or fires since WWII.  In fact, count all of the FALSE ALARMS for that one day.  You will end up counting 142 ... for only one day.  Even at that, the number 142 is not far away from the usual daily number of false alarms ... the average ... the median ... the expected.

 

 

Let's Compare the 19th Century heat map data to that of the 21st Century

Okay now, the 19th Century was supposed to have been a time of much cooler temperatures, due to lower atmospheric co2 levels.  The 21st Century has repeatedly been reported to be a co2-fueled sauna of death.  Sometimes --- but only sometimes --- the temperatures were honestly reported by the general & generic journalists who market sensationalistic hype.  But, that which was very DISHONESTLY reported was the claim that never before had such a temperature or such an amount of rainfall or such a windspeed ever occurred.

The truth is that "it" has all been done before.  "It" refers to the "main weather event" being reported by the non-meteorologists who are not articulate in explaining "the science."  "It" is the climate activists' "star of the weather show," presented to the viewing public, to create fear and insecurity.  

"It" is the "excuse" that the climate hysteria faction uses to claim the existence of a new era which now warrants them to takeover all governments and rule mankind through the U.N.  New York City then becomes the capitol of the world.  This is the mindset of the generation raised on TV, video games, and the cell phone.  The Great Outdoors is a concept entirely foreign to the vast majority of them.

This is a July 1896 newspaper edition, when atmospheric co2 was 126 ppm LOWER than it is today.  It looks like the 2022 and 2023 news.  This is one of many pieces of evidence which show that climate hasn't changed its pattern in the past 127 years.  Concerning any weather event reported in the past thirty years --- and even in the past 130 years ago --- "it" has all been done before.  Climate is a cyclical rollercoaster, and co2 will NOT cause the world to end at any time within the next 400 years.

Climate is properly defined as the "Prevailing Long-term Weather Trend."  Two-week heatwaves --- or three-week heatwaves --- that come in occasional clusters of time throughout a continent, do NOT define the climate.  There are the other 49-50 weeks in each year to consider, as well.  

In 2023, there was record cold and record snow throughout Planet Earth.  Drought-ridden dams were refilled as if a fairy godmother visited the American West with a heavy duty wand.  Maine even had cryoseisms which were actually reported by media outlets as famous as the Washington Post.  However, this will NOT be reported by any Climate Hysteria Network any time soon.

BTW, cryoseisms are frostquakes which happen to occur when already-existing underground water freezes and expands, thereby causing tremors.  

No appreciable, crisis-stage sea level rise here.  This wide beach is a part of Eastern Florida where exists a lot of dry and sandy walking space.  Great for joggers in training.  No expanding waters here.

At this point, look at the Univ of Maine's Reanalyzer map for the JULY temperature average of the Year 2015.  This is the most recent year thus far made available to the public.  We can't review anything more recent, unless you want to use the ECMWF data.   

ECMWF stands for European Center for MEDIUM-RANGE Weather Forecasts.  It's data does not go beyond 1950; 73 years ago,  This subject involves a time span of 170 years.  So, the CIRES one will work.  It's based out of the Univ of Colorado and it stands for Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences.

None the less, the rule is to NEVER switch data sets midway through a timeline analysis.  It results in the apples & oranges effect.  Such a thing will result in a false graph line or chart reading or table summary.  It's very dishonest to do such a thing.

Below is the reanalyzer map for July of 2015 and also 1845.  In 1845, the atmospheric co2 level was 284 parts per million (ppm).  In 2015, the co2 level was 401.1   This amounts to a 117 part per million difference between 1845 and 2015.

The Year 1845 was selected for people not natural at math.  It's easy to see that 2015 minus 1845 = a 170 year difference.  None the less, 1845 was the start of the Great Famine which later became the Irish Potato Famine.  Three years later would come Europe's greatest revolution thus far; even greater than the events of July 1789, and only to be exceeded in size and impact by the 1870 revolts.   Moreover, the Little Ice Age had recently ended, approximately in 1840 or so.  And of course, the Little Ice Age began with the arrival of the Wolf Solar Minimum.  This was in 1284 or so.  So, 1845 would be a fitting year to use in this example.

In addition, America had a drought between 1856 and 1865.  So, those years are slanted in terms of finding a suitable average year.  Thus, using 1865 isn't prudent, even though it is an exact 150 year difference from 2015.  And yes, the entire American Civil War was fought during a drought.

According to the Al Gore Theory of Climate, it should have been a whole lot hotter in 2015 than it was in 1845.  This is because there is 117 ppm more of co2 in the atmosphere today than there was in 1845.  Well then, let's look at the reanalysis maps and compare.  And remember, for the 19th Century temperature conclusion to be credible, proxy evidence --- even from third party sources --- is needed, to confirm the validity of the map.  Thermometer stations were a rare commodity in South America, Africa, and parts of Asia in the 19th Century and prior.  Proxy evidence is already explained at this Blue Marble Album.

Upon looking at both maps, your immediate response should be, "What's the difference?"  Actually, there is one moderate difference and a handful of slight differences.  Therefore, it's NOT the same one map being used twice.

As far as goes the one instance of a moderate difference, it was cooler in Northwestern Russia and in the Kara Sea area . . . in July of 2015.  Yes, that's correct.  The temperature in Northwestern Russia was higher in July of 1845 than it was in July of 2015 . . .  according to Maine's Reanalyzer technology.  Now, this applies to JULY only.

We shall now take a referee's time-out for those Climate Doom Fanatics who are undergoing convulsions.  At this point, their only rebuttal is to claim that the reanalyzer is a complete fraud.  When they recover, they can view the average annual temperature maps below.  Those maps are of the Years 1845 and 2015, of course.  

In this instance, Northwestern Russia and the Scandinavian nations were cooler (on the average) for the entire year of 1845 than they were in the entire year of 2015.  However, both maps look very much similar, concerning the remaining landmasses and water regions of Planet Earth.   Thus, there hasn't been that much of a change in the climate in the past 170 years, except for intervals of turbulence ... or "blocking systems."  The Climate Change campaign is merely a con game, to get large sums of taxpayer dollars and NGO donations into the hands of less-than-honest people.

This example shows you that the mainstream media has been lying to you, in claiming that Planet Earth has become a Climate Armageddon, with massively different temperatures between today and the 19th Century.  Thus, the media's Climate Hysteria is an insult to human intelligence.  It also shows why the television used to be called "the Boob Tube."  In the 1960s, a boob was an idiot ... a buffoon.  

All in all, climate and weather is far more involved than the simpleton version taught by Al Gore.  And "severe weather events" are based on one thing; TURBULENCE.  Turbulence comes and goes.  Thus, the climate is a cyclical roller coaster.

BTW, at the top lefthand corner of the maps is "2m."  This means the temperature at two meters above the ground.

Now for the true reason why 1845 and 2015 don't appear to be very different, in terms of temperature:

As far as goes Greenhouse Gases, they were mostly the same in 1845 as they are today.  This is because co2 doesn't come close to being the Number 1 Greenhouse Gas.  And methane is in a distant third place.  You see, the most abundant Greenhouse Gas today is WATER VAPOR.  It constitutes 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume.  And of course, volume deals with taking-up-space.  Thus, the Number 1 Greenhouse Gas in the sky is, by far, WATER VAPOR.  There was as much water vapor in 1845 --- for the most part --- as there is today.

Water Vapor is the only Greenhouse Gas of Planet Earth that carries any weight --- that proverbially pulls rank --- that keeps Planet Earth from becoming a perpetual 0.0 degrees Fahrenheit ... (-17.78 degrees Celsius.)  CO2 is chump change, compared to Water Vapor, in the capture of infrared light.  Cirrus Clouds retain more infrared light than does co2, and the great irony is that cirrus clouds are all ice.  High floating ice does retain heat, for Planet Earth.

Your environmental mission for this era is NOT co2, being that co2 is your friend.  Your mission is that of freeing live beings from the ingestion, the absorption, and the inhalation of synthetic chemicals & irritants.  This includes the PFAS class, as well as the sensitizers, clastogens, carcinogens, etc.  Included in the mission is stopping the irresponsible handling of plastics.  Add PM2.5, concerning outdoor pollution.  Mercury needs monitored near coal-burning power plants, by the way.

In this type of environmental challenge the order of the day is to reinvent filtration science.  Filtration, filtration, filtration.  An example is the catalytic converter.  Ironically, charcoal is a great filter.  Some of the greatest findings in life are counter-intuitive.

Part 1: Reports of glaciers shrinking repeatedly appeared in print, over a century ago.

More specifically, American newspaper & almanac reports of severe glacier melt appeared in print from 1872 to 1879.  Newspaper reports of worldwide glacier melt also appeared in print in 1881 ... 1902 ... 1905 ... 1907 ... 1910-1912 ... 1915 ... 1922 ... 1925 ... 1927 ... 1934 ... 1938 ... and in 1952.  

There was also a California Geological Survey Report published in 1882 which was a history lesson of glaciers past, going back to the Year 1818.  Even in 2005, there was published (first in French) a detailed proxy-evidence research report which covered the state of the glaciers in Bolivia & Peru, dating back to 1590.

         Directly below is a 112 yr old newspaper article, from 1912, when the CO2 and Methane                    levels were much lower than there are today.  That news article is a Climate Deja Vu.

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

90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume, is WATER VAPOR.  CO2 does NOT compare.

Glacier Diminution is NOT a never-before-experienced phenomenon.  The rise & fall of glacier size does NOT parallel itself with the atmospheric CO2 level in any capacity.  Glaciers have been known to "wax and wane" and even disappear with time, regardless of the amount of CO2 found outdoors and amongst the clouds.   

All in all, glaciers do NOT act in tandem with the CO2 level and/or the methane level and/or the very minute nitrous oxide level in the atmosphere.  After all, methane contains merely 1 carbon atom and its present outdoor level is 1.9 parts per million.  Nitrous Oxide carries no carbon footnote at all, being that it contains ZERO carbon atoms, and its present atmospheric level a mere 0.3 part per million.  That's one-third of a part per million.

Glacier advance and/or glacier retreat is NOT commensurate with the CO2 level and/or the methane level and/or the nitrous oxide level outdoors.  Neither CO2 nor methane nor nitrous oxide rules the glaciers in any capacity at all, whatsoever, in the least.

In statistical specificity, the atmospheric CO2 level in 1872 was only 288 ppm.  In 1922, it was 304 ppm, and in 1952, it was a moderate 311 ppm.  Those years of low atmospheric CO2 were years of high glacier melt ... or they were years into the advanced stage of prolonged glacier recession.  Therefore, according to the Al Gore Theory of Atmospheric CO2, glaciers should not have undergone any significant melt in the 1870s or in the early 20th Century.  Thus, Al Gore is proven to be invalid.  Meanwhile, in March of 2025 the CO2 level reached 429 parts per million.  

         Below is the original & unedited version of the same article which was first published in 1910.        Each of the two versions carries one bit of info that the other version excluded.

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

One more Introductory Example:

A certain farmer in Peru is suing a certain corporation, claiming that the defendant corporation is causing the nearby glaciers to wane ... to retreat ... to recede ... to shrink ... to melt ... to disappear, due to "carbon emissions."  And of course, the nearby glaciers are the CORDILLERA mountain glaciers, along the Andes mountain range.  

Well, the glaciers throughout the Cordillera Mountains were reported to have been "retreating" as far back as 120 years ago.  Furthermore, a 21st Century proxy-evidence research project found that those Peruvian Tropical glaciers reached their largest size in 1720 and then began to recede ever since, amidst intervals of "stabilisation."  

Below:  In three parts:  is a newspaper article which reported on the glaciers' ice loss throughout the world ... in 1904 ... when the atmospheric CO2 level was only 297 ppm.  That amounts to 132 ppm LESS THAN TODAY.  Keep in mind that, throughout the Medieval Era and the Renaissance Era, the CO2 level hovered mostly at the 284 ppm level.  At the end of the last major Ice Age, the CO2 level was 180.  During the Persian, Macedonian, & Roman Empire Years, the CO2 level was 260 ppm.  

The article below also makes mention of the glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, in Peru.  For the record,  there are presently 722 glaciers there, in that Tropical region.  530 of those glaciers are on the western side, while 192 glaciers are on the eastern side. Moreover, 91% of those glaciers are mountain glaciers.

            Directly below is Part 1 of a 1904 newspaper article.

                Directly below is Part 2 of the same news article.

              Directly below is Part 3 of the same January 1904 news article.

Above:  Let me go one step further, concerning the "Tropical Glaciers" of Peru and even Bolivia.  In 2005, Comptes Rendus Geoscience published, Dating of Little Ice Age glacier fluctuations in the tropical Andes: Charquini glaciers, Bolivia, 16°S.  [A. Rabatel et al., C. R. Geoscience 337 (2005)]

The conclusion was that the Andes glaciers achieved their largest size  ... their glacial maximum ... between 1590 and 1720 AD.   This maximum was ...

              ... "followed by nearly continuous retreat (with three interruptions) 

    during the 18th and 19th Centuries, marked by stabilisation or minor advances."  

The scientific finding was that, "This leads to the conclusion that glaciers in Bolivia, as well as in Peru, have clearly retreated after the 17th century maximum and during the whole 19th century."

                   https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1631071305002063

This means that, when the Year 1900 arrived, the recession of these glaciers was long-since underway, and all times involving this shrinkage of glacier size in the Andes occurred while the CO2 level was very low.  The methane level was also low.   Therefore, this shows that the Al Gore Theory of CO2 Driving Earth's Climate is a bogus theory.

This, therefore, means that "no carbon footprinted greenhouse gas concentration" caused the Andes glaciers to retreat ... to recede ... to melt ... to wane ... to shrink in size.  This glacier waning is something that has been occurring for centuries, long before the "lawsuit defendant corporation" even came into existence.  As a reminder, the lawsuit plaintiff is a Peruvian farmer.

Alaska, in comparison

In comparison to Tropical glaciers, the Arctic Circle State of Alaska presently has approximately 27,000 glaciers occupying 34,000 Square Miles of terrain.   The great irony here is that, during the last major Ice Age,  Alaska was entirely glacier-free, from the Brooks Range to the Alaska Range.  That region was grassland.  In fact, today's Arctic Circle is NOT a massive & uninhabitable iceberg.

Even today, there is forestland within the Arctic Circle, above 66.5N, and up to 72.30N.  It's known as the Taiga or the Boreal Forest, and it covers Canada, the very northern sector of Scandinavian, and Russia.  This includes the White Spruce,  Arctic Willow,  Dwarf Birch,  Larch,  and Scots Pine, as well as the Arctic Dandelion,  Arctic Mouse-Ear,  Moss Campion,  Mountain Avens,  Arctic Bell Heather,  Arctic Yellow Whitlow grass, and other species.  In addition, there are Arctic Circle cities with mild summertime weather.  In fact, 2.3 million Russians live in the Arctic Circle.

Remember, glaciers move and even operate as primitive bulldozers on terrain.  In as much, a glacier needs to be at least 98 feet thick, in order to be capable of motion.  In fact, a glacier's air content is only 20%, whereas freshly fallen snow contains 90% air, and granular ice contains 50% air.  It takes 5 years of compression to make glacier ice.  Such ice transforms from Firn which happens to be slightly aged snow, at 35 lbs per cubic foot.

Glacier Recession ... otherwise known as Glacier Retreat ... is NOT a never-before-experienced phenomenon.  It's a repetitive process within intervals of time.  In recorded scientific history, the acknowledgement of receding glaciers dates back to the later half of the 19th Century.  This is in keeping with the fact that the Little Ice Age ended in 1840 ... with the pending arrival of the warm-weather Phytophthora Infestans which caused the European Potato Famine.   Thus, shrinking glaciers were a topic in journalism.

In preliminary review

The dreaded environmental menace in the sky is PM2.5.  The other environmental menace is the collective glut of synthetic chemicals allowed to permeate anarchically throughout the air space of modern society.  And the great heat retainer is actually asphalt.  

In fact, cirrus clouds are a more effective retainer of infrared light/heat than is CO2 and methane combined.   Methane exists at 2 parts per million is the sky outdoors.  Plus, every methane molecule is four parts Hydrogen, compared to only one part Carbon.  In the 1990s, it was recognized as the cleanest burning fuel.  Then came Al Gore and the dishonest Michael Mann who was recently cited a second time for fraudulent pleadings in a court of law. 

Come and learn how much "people in power & influence" lied to you and the rest of humanity

Within this discourse: There are over two dozen pieces of photo-copied evidentiary support here, to prove that Glacier Recession ... aka glacier shrinkage & severe glacier melting ... had long since been identified, in cyclical intervals of time, very much before the noted rise in atmospheric CO2.   There is also the previously mentioned 1882 California Geological Survey Report that was a result of the then-recent California Gold Rush.  It's content constitutes invaluable information.  Incidentally, the atmospheric CO2 level in 1882 was 291 parts per million.

These pieces of evidence also show that there is NO CLIMATE CRISIS of any kind today, consisting of any type of "never-before-experienced" weather event.  Whatever the weather event was in the past five years, it has happened before, at a greater intensity, when the CO2 level was much lower than it is today.  This includes heatwaves, droughts & forest fires, as much as glacier size.  

As a comparative example, it was reported that the 2023 American heatwave death toll for July was 2,300.  Earlier in May of 2023, 995 died in the American Northwest heatwave.  Well, in the 1911 American East Coast heatwave, there were approximately 2,000 deaths induced by that heatwave.  

In fact, during the same Summer of 1911, Paris had one of its three tragic heatwaves.  In a seventy-day period 41,072 people died in France, from the heat.   The other two tragic heatwave years in Paris were in 1976 and in 2003.  In fact, there was also the report of a deadly Parisian heatwave in 1636, as well as in 1718.  And take note that 1636 was before the Industrial Revolution.

Concerning this, keep in mind that the 2023 population of Planet Earth is far greater than was the 1911 population, especially as it concerns the American West which was basically New-Land in the early 20th Century.  However, the important feature of today is that there is more asphalt in the cities than there was in the early 20th Century.  This is especially the case out West.  In as much, asphalt is the ultimate trapper of heat.  In the 21st Century, there are Heat Islands which happen to be metropolises.  

Asphalt is an undeniable problem, concerning summertime surface temperatures.   The small amount of CO2 in the sky is not the problem.  Particular Matter smaller than 2.5 microns is the ultimate environmental problem, concerning the outdoor surface area of civilization.  Indoors, the environmental scandal is the glut of synthetic chemicals which end up in lungs, endocrine systems, water supplies, refined foods, and the air we all end up breathing.  Not CO2.

Statistics from the  Ghost of Glaciers Past

Concerning the 24 or so pieces of evidentiary support within this post, one of them is a statistical analysis which shows that there was not that much glacial ice loss in the Alpine Region between 1973 and 2016.  Yet, that was when the outdoor CO2 Count was on the rise.  Thus, according to the Al Gore Theory of Climate, those glaciers and all glaciers should have been shrinking at a rate equal to the rise in atmospheric CO2.  But, they did not melt in tandem with CO2's rise.  

In fact, it was 1979 when there was the most Arctic Sea Ice Extent in recorded history, showing the Al Gore & Michael Mann CO2 Climate Theory to be non-factual.  The 1979 CO2 level should have prevented this record high Arctic Sea Ice Extent number.  

The fact that the rising level of CO2 did not stop the 1979 sea ice parade proves that CO2 does NOT drive the climate, as the Al Gore & Michael Mann People claim.  The Sun drives the climate, along with ======>

          ~ Pressure Gradient Forcing,  ~ the Tilt of the Earth, and ~ the Coriolis Effect 

  which also causes a 90-degree descending sea motion effect, called 

~"Eckman Transport."  

In fact, the 23 1/2 degree Tilt of the Earth is the sole cause for the four seasons in the middle latitudes of Planet Earth.  It's the sole cause for the 6-months-of-day & six-months-of-night at the Polar Caps.  All in all, it's now concluded that CO2 does NOT drive the climate.  The Sun does.   

Moreover, CO2 is NOWHERE NEAR the Predominate Greenhouse Gas.  Water vapor is, by far.  All in all, the Earth's Climate is much like the Phases of the Moon.   It waxes and wanes.  End of preliminary tutorial.

In Part 2, you'll get to read at least 14 photocopied newspaper articles of many decades past which reported on shrinking glaciers.  Some of those newspaper articles are over 100 years old.

See Part 2:    https://www.bluemarblealbum.com/2025/04/glaciers-past-and-present-2.html

Part 2: Reports of glaciers shrinking repeatedly appeared in print, over a century ago.

 

Intro to the article post ... article ... tutorial ... discourse ... writing.

The part of Pittsburgh where I live is the part where exists four colleges, including Pitt and the Carnegie Mellon which gave the world its first robotics institute and a number of actors who became household names.  Therefore, I'm an East Ender, and this is the area where you will find many a person native to lands far away.  This includes the Himalayan region of Planet Earth.  Specifically Nepal.

Well, I was talking to a couple of natives from the Himalayan mountain region whom I know on an informal and casual basis, and I said, "I guess that all the glaciers in the Himalayas are shrinking."  One of them instantly said, "No.  They're growing."   The other Himalayan gentleman then mentioned how brutally cold it gets in his Himalayan hometown.

Despite the claim of a climate crisis by a Biden Administration known for its liars ... and an U.N. known for the same type of liar ... the United States had a couple record high crop yields in 2024.  In fact, crop success has been the American way of recent years, and crop yield success is the opposite of a climate crisis.  

At present, some of the Earth's glacier clusters are growing, while other ones are receding.  Thus, Joe Rogan, Donald Trump, Michael Schellenberg, and Randall Carlson had distinct historic reasons for calling  " this Climate Crisis" a hoax.  

The irony to this repeated crop harvest success is in the observation that the Al Gore People claimed that a rise in CO2 would guarantee crop failure throughout Planet Earth.  Well, it's CO2 which causes the photosynthesis which causes the crops to grow, in the first place.  The members of the Al Gore Propaganda Team apparently have no idea how asinine they sound.  Professional growers inject added CO2 into their greenhouses, for greatest yields.

If you are interested in looking at a couple news reports on the 2024 American harvest, refer to the links below.  If not, then feel free to move on to the glacier topic presented in this discourse.  And remember, this is a discourse for novices ... for people who have been totally deceived by the American public school system and the mainstream corporate media, as well as the Biden Shadow Presidency.

Corn & Soybeans Experiencing Record-Breaking Yields: Report by GreenStone farm credit services.

🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

Below are photo-copies of newspaper articles dating back to the very early 20th century.  Also below are links to pertinent tutorials of scientific information.  These articles teach us that, eighty-five years ago, as well as one hundred and twelve years ago, scientists were telling mankind that the glaciers all over the world were melting away.  

Drastic glacier melt in the Swiss Alps was reported 122 years ago.  Deja vu, folks.  That which happened to the glaciers in recent years have happened to them 8 to 10 to 12 decades ago.  Climate History repeats itself, just like regular history does.

In review:

~Swiss/Alpine Glacier Ice Loss was a small percentage from 1973 to 2016.

~True MAJOR Alpine Ice Loss was identified & catalogued from 1902-1936 & 1950-1952.  

~In 1912 & 1927, it was Canadian glacial melt.  In 1936, ice loss was reported in the Dolomites.

~In 1950, it was Norway's Black Ice Glacier that was predicted to vanish.  It still exists today.

~Worldwide Glacial Retreating was reported in 1910 & in 1939.

~Between 1900 and 1938, Montana's Sperry Glacier went from 840 acres in surface area to 390. 

A Report from the Ghost of Glaciers Past

In the early 20th Century, the CO2 count went from 297 to 312 ppm.  That's very low when compared to today.  Yet, there were climate catastrophes in the first three decades of the 20th Century and in the last three decades of the 19th Century ... as well as a drought in the middle of the 19th Century ... and a vicious potato and wheat famine, too.  Add cholera epidemics as well, and one would have concluded that the End of the World was going to happen in the 19th Century, when the CO2 count was low.

In comparison to 1902 & 1922, the Year 2022's atmospheric co2 count was 417 ppm.  It was 422.43 ppm in 2023.  In 2024, it was 425, due to the increase in Eastern Asian and Southern Asian coal-burning power plants which need more filtration.  

Plus, water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas.  It's 90% of all greenhouse gases, by volume.  And you're not going to be able to get rid of water.  It comprises 70% of Planet Earth's surface.

We begin with a newspaper article dating back to 1902, where within it is reported that the Swiss glaciers were receding.  This was 120 years before the mainstream media kept rattling off the cliche "Climate Crisis."  In fact, one glacier melted 800 yards, from 1876 to 1902.  The Year 1876 was 148 years ago.  Glacier melt was even cited in 1872.  

I have repeatedly stated that nothing which occurred in the weather throughout the past 5 years was new.  Whatever the type of weather event that transpired recently happened previously, 50 to 75 to 100 to 175 years to 575 years prior, and it often happened more intensely.  See for yourself: 

This November 1902 newspaper article above states:  "In Switzerland, the studies of many years have determined the fact finally that the glaciers are not only steadily receding, but that their rate of recession is becoming greater each year.  There are only a few glaciers that still grow.  The Poveyre glacier in Canton Wallis is the only one that has increased since 1892.  The famous Rhone glacier has receded almost 800 yards since 1876."

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

Below: 109 years ago, it was reported that all of the Swiss glaciers were shrinking.  So, if you read an article today which says that Swiss glacier melt has not happened in the past 1,000 years until now, then you are reading a liar.  

        Above:  1,000 feet shrinkage in the past ten years.  It refers to the Year 1915.  This has all happened before.  The mainstream media and Biden Administration, along with Kerry, Nye, and Gore have been lying to humanity, all along.  Some type of legal action MUST BE TAKEN, against the liars who have been emotionally traumatizing American & European schoolchildren.

From 1850 to 1910, the famous JAKOBSHAVN GLACIER melted FOUR MILES.  Yet, it still exists in 2025, even to the point of having gained size, from time to time.  Thus, the End of the World narrative of Michael Mann and the Biden People was one big lie, much like everything else said by the Biden People.  The Number 1 commodity lacking during the Biden Years was the truth.

This is only a small part of the glacier which did NOT vanish in the Year 2000.

Below is a super important lesson in how fast glaciers form.  In 1916, there was no glacier there, in Mounta Danello, Italy.  Rather, there were 15 Austrian soldiers there.  Twenty years later (1936), a glacier melts and reveals the soldiers' remains.  It didn't even take twenty years for the glacier to form.  Thus, glacier size is quite flexible over relatively short periods of time.  Glaciers can form quite rapidly.

Below:  A receding glacier in 1912, when co2 was at 301 ppm.  It was receding a mile a year.  Thus, we have yet more evidence that the 2020s are not unprecedented or unique, in any capacity at all, whatsoever, in the least.

Below: Newspaper report of  January 14, 1939, when the co2 count was 311.  That's 118 ppm LOWER than in March of 2025.  Yet, it states that "geologists all over the world" were puzzled by the continuous retreat of ice glaciers.  That worldwide glacier retreat occurred 85 years prior to 2024.  Thus, any glacier retreat reported today, tomorrow, or next year is NOT something unprecedented.

 Below:  An 1872 newspaper article.  The scientists at the time contended that it was the "hot winds of Africa" which were "gradually melting the Swiss glaciers."  The bottom line is that, as far back as 1872, the shrinking of Swiss glaciers was a known phenomenon.   In 1872, the CO2 level was 287 ppm.  Today it's 429.  According to Al Gore and Michael Mann, the Swiss glaciers should not have been melting in 1872.  Yet, they certainly were, proving Michael Mann and Al Gore to be wrong in their overly-ridiculous CO2 Climate Theory.

Below:  Swiss glaciers shrinking in 1907, when co2 was 299 ppm; 130 ppm LOWER than in 2025.

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

Below:  In 1905, Swiss glaciers were known to be shrinking.  Yet, the article had a global reach to it.  It mentioned "the fact seems to be that glaciers all over the world are shrinking" ... in 1905 ... 120 years ago ... when the co2 count was only 298 ppm ... 131 ppm LOWER than in March of 2025.  That 1905 article looks a lot like a 2024 news article.  Deja vu to all of you climate crisis peddlers.

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

Below:  This article mentions that Swiss glaciers were shrinking since 1922.  And of course, I called 1922 "the Year of the Great Meltdown."  None the less, did you ever hear about the 36 year glacier cycle by which a glacier waxes and wanes, like the phases of the moon?  Well, it's mentioned here:

This article was truncated ... cut ... for the sake of space.

 

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

Below:  A report that the Rhone Glaciers shrunk a couple THOUSAND FEET in 20 years, thereby averaging 200 feet a year of glacial melt.

As far back as in 1902, people were noticing the gradual shrinking of the Alpine glaciers, to the demise of the tourist industry there.  That's 122 years ago.  So, this phenomenon is NOT new.  It's apparently cyclical, because, during that general time span, glaciers were mentioned as having a waxing and a waning to them, a lot like the phases of the moon.  

In 1902, the co2 level was 296 and a half ppm, 133 ppm LOWER than March 2025.
