A 1,700% population increase in the cactus-arrayed desert called Arizona & Nevada. And news reporters wonder where the man-made lake water went.

      Take note of the illustration below: The Y-axis is in millimeters, and not very many of them.

We start the conversation with the largest desert on Planet Earth

Concerning the illustration above, take note that East Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise was negative digits until at least 2016 or 2017.  In 2015, Antarctica had its highest amount of sea ice extent.  So, that accomplished the opposite of sea level rise.

Meanwhile, the sea level rise contribution from elsewhere in the Antarctic was embarrassingly minuscule, since 1995.  The end-of-the-world claim that the oceans are rising at catastrophic rates has been all hype, all the time, since the release into classrooms everywhere in America the sophomoric and non-factual Al Gore movie of 2006.

Keep in mind that scientists are salesmen, looking to get funding from the US Congress, the UN, a corporate NGO here, a 501(c) NGO there, and even grassroots fund-raising.  They think that, in order for them to make a sale, they need to create a sense of urgency in the minds of the holders of the largest of purses.  Thus, all of the end-of-the-world, sea-level rising, world-catching-on-fire hype has been nothing more than a money-grab game.  He who lies the most gets the most money.

In this game of obscenely high national debt, the Youth of America loses.  Look and see how much debt was accumulated in such a short amount of time by people who claimed to care about "the children."  They have given American children Instant Bankruptcy.  In addition, the graph below is more steep than the co2 graph that Al Gore paraded around various TV studios ... during the Global Warming Pause which necessitated East Anglia scientists to change the name of their sales pitch to "Climate Change."

Wow!  The US National Debt Graph looks like Michael Mann's Hockey Stick Graph

Proof that politicians & scientists didn't take their "climate crises" monologues seriously consists in the fact that multiple celebrities purchased beachfront property, despite ranting that sea level rise is soon to be catastrophic. 

Sea level rise?  What sea level rise?  It was reported as having been 8 to 9 inches in the past 140 years.

Barrack Obama, himself, purchased a multi-million dollar Martha's Vineyard mansion on the Atlantic Coastline, a mere 3 ft above sea level.  You can easily walk from the front door to the shoreline.  Thus, Obama didn't believe that the oceans' water levels were rising in any catastrophic pace.  He invested millions of dollars next to an ocean.  That Martha's Vineyard mansion, incidentally, constitutes Hypocrisy Central.

All in all, a 1.5C increase throughout a 100 year period which occurred directly after 500 consecutive years of Global Cooling, in a phase of time called, the Little Ice Age, isn't the end of the world.  After all, crops grow in warm weather ... not in fields of ice.

The years of my ancestors' Roman Empire was found ... through Mediterranean proxy evidence ... to have transpired at an average temperature of 2C higher than today.  Things didn't collapse in the Western sector of that empire until the 470s.  So, there were approximately 500 years of Global Warming during the days when no combustible engine existed ... and when co2 levels were 138 parts per million lower than today. 

Ancient Arch in Rome, by Jahoo Clouseau

We now proceed to inland water levels in a vast desert that contains cacti that remind us of its natural drought features.

Here's a quick update on the Lake Mead water level which was showcased by the commercial media in 2022 as one of the five signs of the End of the World (unless we hand over 1/3 of our yearly income and all of society's behavioral control to Michael the Decline-Hider Mann and Jim the Air-Conditioning-Repairman Hansen, as well as to Bill Thermohaline Nye.)

First, we need to be reminded of the much belated news dating back to the 1930s.  It's history, but to today's 10 second sound-byte fed public, it's news to them:  {1} Lake Mead was put into operation around 1936.  Yet, it was still filling-up in 1937.  None the less, the 1940 US census marked Nevada as having had a population of 113,000.  That was literally the stadium attendance of the October 11, 2014 football game between Penn State and Michigan.  

As of the 2020 census, Nevada was marked as having a population of 3,114,000.  This means that there are 27 times MORE people in need of water in Nevada today than during the first years of Lake Mead's operation.  For those in the American public school system, this translates into 27 times more demand and usage of water ... in a desert filled with various types of cactus.  Add to the equation the water needs of cattle, horses, and house pets.

See:  Census Graph for Nevada

In like fashion, the 1940 population count for Arizona was 499,000.  As of the 2020 census, the Arizona population was 7,100,000.  This means that 14 times MORE people are in Arizona in need of water today than in the first years of Lake Mead's operation.   

This also means that there are 9,600,000 more people in need of water in Nevada and Arizona today than in 1940.  Do you think that co2 was drinking all of that Lake Mead water?  Well, the human population of Nevada and Arizona today is 10,214,000 vs the 613,000 which existed in 1940.

See for yourself and know that you are repeatedly being conned by politicians and the commercial media, as if you are too stupid to catch the Multi-Billion Dollar Climate Con:   

Go ahead.  Lookie see:  Arizona Population Graph

There is also the matter of Colorado River water being delivered to the Morelos Dam, in Mexico, (as a result of a 1944 treaty).  

The treaty designated 1.5 million acre-feet per annum from the United States to sovereign Mexican territory where within are people in need of water.  It's the amount of water needed to cover one acre of land 12 inches deep, one and a half million times within one year's time.

The human expansion into Arizona and Las Vegas was a gamble.  (Pun not intended.) Lessening the amount of co2 molecules in the air isn't going to get water to the 25 million desert people dependent on Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam.  Increasing Yankee Ingenuity will do so. Take note that Al Gore is a Southerner, and NOT a Yankee.  He's out of his league.  

Also take note that Al Gore is a politician and NOT a scientist.  After all, he was the one who said in front of Conan O'Brien that the center of the Earth is millions of degrees Fahrenheit, when it's between 9,800F and 10,800F.

Remember the Cacti and you will remember the fraud of the Climate Change Profiteers

It's absolute fraud to claim that the lack of water in a cactus-filled desert is the sign of catastrophic Global Warming (Climate Change).  The lack of water in Arizona is a sign that it actually is a cactus-filled desert.  Period.  So, remember the cacti, my students, and you will be reminded of the fraudulent dishonesty of the Climate Hysteria Profiteers.  And of course, Flagstaff & the Coconino Forest, Prescott National, and the lane of land called the Santa Rita Mountains are exceptions to the general Arizona landscape ... cactus-scape.

Lake Mead Update

Water has been returning to Lake Mead to the point where crews had to adjust a dock's boat ramps to a higher level.  So, the water level has increased at Lake Mead (Northern Arizona.)   The media is not reporting this with any air of hopefulness.  The media message is that we are using "fossil fuels" and we're all gonna die.  Yet, 90% of all greenhouse gases (by volume) have ZERO CARBON footprint.

See the Lake Mead update:   Lake Mead water level rise & boat ramp rise 

Being that London was claimed to be on fire, on account of co2:

Newsflash:  Fires in the London Area did NOT suddenly start in the Summer of 2022.  Concerning the 2010s, it was in 2014 when the London Fire Brigade announced that the number of Greater London Area fires had been cut to almost half since the 1980s & 1990s.  Three years later, 2017 would be the year of the least number of London Area fires --- 17,993.  

There were years from 1966 to present when the Greater London Area had 50,000+ fires, 40,000+ fires in a single year each year.   Yes, fires are that common in Greater London and many other places throughout Planet Earth.  Meanwhile, co2 remains rare in the atmosphere, at less than one-half of 1% of the Troposphere and Stratosphere.  Here: Lookie see how deceptive the 2022 commercial media is.  This official graph is opposite of the "London-on-fire-due-to-co2" assertion of charlatans.

Greater London, incidentally, comprises 610 square miles.

Penguins waiting in line, to see the new Al Gore movie, Money to THE Bank.

We now adjourn to Greenhouse Gases

Here's an irony or two about greenhouse gases (GHGs), in relation to today's blatant and sophomoric propaganda:

Firstly, the most abundant GHG is water vapor.  Secondly, the most powerful one is something known as Sulfur Hexaflouride.  It's 2,200 times more powerful than co2.  The irony is that it has ZERO CARBON footprint.  In addition, it only exists in the Troposphere at 10.5 parts per TRILLION.  It increases one part per trillion every three years.

In addition to sulfur hexaflouride, there is nitrous oxide which also has ZERO CARBON footprint, even though it's 330 times more powerful than co2.  Yet, it only exists at 1 part per three million, in the air.  Needless to say, water vapor has ZERO CARBON footprint, also.

We have been observing Grand Larceny via Theft by Deception since 2006.  The fraud became blatant in 2009, with the Climategate Emails.  Yet, the brainwashed youth of today ... or those who want to cash-in on Climate Crisis hysteria ... defend the emails to the death.  They don't realize that the US Congress put the American youth into an obscenely high & life-long national debt ... in the name of going green.  

The greatest irony is that, if you want to go green, you must increase the catalyst of photosynthesis.  Ever-so-coincidentally, the catalyst of photosynthesis is CO2.  Politicians want to kill off the one thing that causes everything to go green.

Have you been snapped out of the hypnotic trance, yet?

After these 22 Blue Marble Album climate articles (with 4 additional ones on the way)  --- and with the aid of numerous government docs, newspaper archives & history chronicles  --- do you see a pattern of deceit transpiring throughout the United States?  Do you see how much of a sophomoric con job this "climate crisis" hysteria is?  

After all, the etched hunger stones of the Elbe River show that severe droughts existed repeatedly, during years when co2 levels were 108 to 138 parts per million LESS than today.  The years of severe heatwave and drought included 1417, 1473, 1616, 1666, 1681, 1707, 1746, 1778, 1790, 1800, 1811, 1830, 1840, 1842, 1847, 1850, 1857, 1858, 1859, 1862, etc.  There was also the famous Tudor Drought of 1540-41 in the history of Europe.

BTW, did you know that the American Civil War was fought during a drought?  Actually, it was known as the North American Drought of 1856-1865.  And quite frankly 1856 and 1864 were the driest years over-all, with a few years almost exclusively hitting Texas and the Oklahoma Territory hard, with average drought condition elsewhere in other years. None the less, co2 levels were much lower in the 1860s than they are today.  Yet, there was a drought in the midst of all that hatred and hunger and marching and terror and canon fire and surgery and the incendiary March to the Sea, aka the Atlantic Coastline.

In addition, the worst flood experienced by Oregon, Nevada, and Northern California also occurred in 1862.  After all, in a round planet, one man's year of drought is another man's year of flooding. And of course, co2 levels were just as low on the West Coast in 1862 as they were elsewhere; far lower than today.  So, according to the "carbon footprint activists," there shouldn't have been any long-term drought or any major flood anywhere in the 1800s, including 1862.

The Oceans and the claim that they are soon to boil-over.

Concerning the oceans, a certain "peer reviewed" paper that was retracted due to decisive mathematical errors claimed the following:

It was claimed that the oceans were heating 60% faster than originally thought.  There are two reasons why this is instantaneously understood to be a falsehood.  No one had to wait for the faulty "peer-reviewed" paper to be math-checked.  One of those reasons was mentioned on the Blue Marble Album a dozen or so articles ago.  The other one is this:

Above the ocean surface is ====> latent heat.  It's heat that is released by the ocean water, itself.  Thus, the ocean isn't hoarding heat.  It's launching heat into the air, thereby making vapor which gets transferred via wind, eventually becoming cloud masses and ultimately making its way to the colder latitudes of Planet Earth.  Case closed.  Some scientists are such incredible liars.

See:  Latent Heat of Vaporization (and Fusion) tutorial for beginners

Also see: Additional tutorial for beginners on Latent Heat

Let us review:

The oceans are NOT storage vaults of CO2-captured-heat.  They're launching pads of LATENT heat which gets carried away by the wind and which ends up in cooler latitudes

And concerning the amount of co2 in the oceans:  Where there is no infrared heat, there is no greenhouse gas capturing the heat that's not there, in the first place.  Below 656 feet, there is no sunlight in the oceans and no photosynthesis.  At that point, things go from 55 degrees Fahrenheit to 39F, all the way to the bottom, where occasional volcanoes restricted by the massive weight of a massive water basin release some heat and black smoke in a narrowed and organized way.

And of course, co2 is very finicky (selective) about the IR that it does "capture-retain."  Plus, in one of its three "dipole moments", (aka vibration modes --- aka resonance effects), co2 is incapable of capturing infrared radiation, being that it's overstretched to the limit, in that dipole-vibration position.  This was illustrated at the Blue Marble Album already, with pertinent links to brief educational videos having been posted.  Two are posted here.

One is only 45 seconds in length, and it's contents are worth memorizing.  The other one is only 1:10, and it is slightly more detailed, giving an extra section of needed information that can relieve the stress in beginners' minds caused by the end-of-the-world hype spread by the commercial media and the American Public School System.

View the following videos and receive a healthy measure of peace.  After all, propaganda is deadly ... and very bad for your health.  Plus, fear is the #1 impediment to learning.  It's a roadblock to learning ... and to the state of understanding.  So, remember the cacti and enjoy getting unblocked ... and to be bullied by Michael Mann and Al Gore no more.

The Climate Con Artists are at it again, playing games with the calendar

Perhaps you recently noticed it, while browsing through a search engine.  Numerous articles dated the 24th, 25th, or 26th of September 2023 exclaimed that Antarctica had its largest temperature rise in known history.  This included Newsweek Magazine.  The many similar headlines made it instantly seem that, at the end of Antarctica's coldest time of the year --- in September 2023 --- Antarctica underwent its highest temperature rise ever known to mankind, in a week-long heat wave.  

The great deception here was that each one of those September 24, 25, and 26, 2023 Antarctic heat rise news reports was referring to the Antarctic heat rise that occurred during the end of the Antarctic SUMMER of 2022 --- during March of 2022 --- one and a half years ago --- toward the end of the hottest time of the year for the South Pole.  

Those headlines and their affixed dates made it appear that a heat wave is invading Antarctica during its winter.  That's as good as telling people that the End of the World is here.   Thus, if you saw those September headlines while you were in a rush, you got deceived intentionally.  After all, the common person would think that a news report dated September 25th, 2023, is reporting something that happened in late September of 2023 . . . and NOT during March of 2022.

Six months of darkness.  Yet, the news reports are headlined with sunny daylight photos.

The supreme asininity of reporting on Antarctica in the wintertime, in trying to tell people that massive ice loss is evident there, consists in the fact that there actually are 6 consecutive months of darkness in Antarctica.  This is because the sun's orange globe is never seen above the horizon.  So, how can you confidently report on a massive place losing massive amounts of ice if you can't even see the massive place?  

Antarctica is a massive place that is dark for six consecutive months.  Do you understand, yet?  If you see a sunny daylight photo of ice melting on water, then you are not looking at Antarctica in the wintertime.  Chances are that you are viewing a summertime photo.  So, why are there so many Antarctic wintertime ice-melt news articles headlined by sunny daylight photos of ice plates melting on water?

This deception's only possible motive was that of making mankind feel a sense of urgency so severe that it would demand the US government to speed-up the spending of its $370 billion appropriation allotment to certain climate-related entities.  These journalists are crying wolf so often that it has gotten to be instantly annoying.  

It has gotten to the point where the working man and the ranch (homesteader) woman do not want to hear about "climate change" anymore.  This is especially the case, being that the vast majority of humans did NOT experience any type of exceptionally horrifying weather disaster.  People keep hearing about them, but they don't personally see any of them.   Thus, they are "just not feeling it."  As was previously mentioned,  this is a matter of climate con artists hyper-exaggerating weather events to the point of ridiculousness. 

This is what happens when geektoid, nerdo, swirly-boy scientific dweebs attempt to seduce.  They don't have the ingredients for such seduction.  If it weren't for the news entities that ever-so-coincidentally received a measure of donation money from Bill Gates, then the climate con game would have ended in 2009, with the disclosure of the Climategate emails.

The Blue Marble Album explained a number of recent climate hoaxes.  That's one of the reasons why there is a search box at the top righthand corner of this site.  You can search around here, free of charge.  There is no subscription fee here.  There is nothing for sale, here.  Neither peer reviewed papers, nor charts, nor printed t-shirts, nor posters, nor cookbooks, nor vacation packages, nor powdered protein, nor "survival kits," nor anything else for sale.  

There are a lot of pieces of evidentiary support at this site, to show you that "it" (Climate Hysteria) has been a predictable con game, all along.  The motive has been money --- taxpayer dollars, NGO donations, grassroots fundraising drive pledges, and of course ===> United Stated Congressional funding allotments, aka "appropriations.".

Below is a NASA/NSIDC visualization of the state of Antarctica, as of September 27, 2023.  Earlier this month, it was officially declared that the least amount of yearly MAXIMUM SEA ICE EXTENT occurred this September, in 2023.  And of course, climate activists are treating this event as the start of the End of the World.  

Now, the visualization below is that of the lowest amount of Antarctica's maximum sea ice volume.  As you can see, the smallest yearly maximum is still massively large in size. That is to say, the lowest amount is not much different than the yearly median.   The amber line below is the "median perimeter" of sea ice at the end of Antarctic winters.  Median is close to the "average."  Thus, the amber circular line is "the usual" sea ice volume for Antarctic winters.

In the visualization of 2023's sea ice, West Antarctica has more ice than usual.  And of course, it's only slightly more.  Some parts of Antarctica are the same as usual, in sea ice volume.  The other sectors show that there is not that much sea ice loss, in 2023.  All in all, there is not that much difference between the median and the lowest amount.   Yet, the climate activists have to make it look like the End of the World.

Antarctica was repeatedly covered in the Blue Marble Album.  Go read the discourses ... or, at the least, look at all of the evidentiary support in those discourses.  At the least, look at the pictures, charts, and graphs, as well as newspaper headlines from 1936, 1922, 1911, 1901, 1878, 1852, etc.

Journalists today painted Antarctica as a place in a dire mess.  It was painted as a place where ice is melting all over the place.  It's painted as a place where sun tanning is easy to do.  Well, that is, of course, an intelligence-insulting hoax.  None the less, the goal of this post was to show you that the Wintertime of 2023 reports about a massive Antarctic temperature rise involved the temperature rise during the Summer of 2022, a year and a half prior.  It's NOT happening right now.  Yet, the journalists made something that happened a year and a half ago look like it's occurring now --- to scare you.

Climate Amnesia

The Thesis Statement of it all is this:  If you were to cut in half today the Earth's global atmospheric CO2 level --- as well as the 2 ppm Methane level, the 1 part per 3 million N2O level, and the 11 parts per trillion Hexaflouride level --- you would still get hurricanes, inland storms, tornadoes, blizzards, monsoons, mudslides, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, ice calving, ice stacking, icebergs, dust storms, heat waves, droughts, pestilence, and insect crop invasions, as well as tree infections, and Crimson Tide algae blooms --- just like in days past (in decades & centuries past) when the co2 level was much lower than today.  

It would all become a matter of "all that work for nothing."  Then where do you go, in your quest to stop hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods? ... lions and tigers and bears.

Today's media & politicians have willful Climate Amnesia.  Previously on the Blue Marble Album and elsewhere, it was illustrated that extreme droughts, prolonged flooding, more deadly hurricanes, longer heat waves in higher latitudes, etc have been occurring all throughout recorded history.  The years directly following the end of the Little Ice Age (1300 - 1840) are an abundant example.  

One of the greatest causes of Climate Amnesia is Data Tampering.  The observation has been that certain governmental entities lowered the temperatures of the past on paper, to make it seem as if there had been a notable increase in temperature, above & beyond what the same governmental agencies stated in the 1990s & the turn of the Millennium.   It was a matter of two different generations of personnel and management.  And of course, the "tampered" charts & graphs do NOT correlate with the numerous newspaper articles, magazine articles, and chronicles which reported on the weather events in the current time when the events actually occurred.  Take a look at how the graphing has changed:

American Dam Replenishment & the False-Light Ft Lauderdale Rain Report

 Observe this recent 2023 publication, even if it translates into you skimming over ir ever so briefly:

Newsflash:  The American West did NOT have the worst drought in 1,200 years (as was repeatedly stated by the commercial media), and it did not have an ongoing drought.  Monsoons visited the American West on a regular basis throughout all that time.  They ironically came from the Gulf of Mexico ... instead of the Pacific Ocean ... through a clockwise rotating high pressure system.  Plus, the 2023 rainfall came to the American West as soon as La Nina ended.

The entirety of the above forecast can be found at https://www.weather.gov/owp/2023NHA.  It's based on the actual weather trend which recently transpired in 2023 and which disintegrated the climate doom predictions of 2022.   The predictions spoken by the usual suspects was that, in 2022, humanity reched a tipping point comprising a major extinction event of bitter dryness and parched heat, along with a contradictory event of Category 6 hurricanes and a very humid drowning of the coastlines. 

Neither event came close to happening.  As soon as the "La Nina" phase of the Pacific Ocean's El Nino Southern Oscillation ended, the replenishing rainfall & snowfall in America started.  La Nina makes the weather drier than normal in the Eastern Pacific, while simultaneously making things wetter than normal in the Western Pacific.    For those unfamiliar with ENSO, El Nino, & La Nina first take a look at this easy-listening introductory video made for the beginner/novice.  It assumes that the listener has no prior experience with meteorology and/or atmospheric science:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb3WMIaH4E

All in all, the weather of February-March-April 2023 turned out to be the opposite of what was predicted by the "celebrated" climate doom "experts," in their repetitively annoying & predictable End-of-the-World narrative which included: 

[1] a lasting drought in the American West --- which was said to have been occurring for years, even though regular Monsoon season was arriving in the American West throughout those years, [2] the depletion of the U.S. Western dams & reservoirs, all the while neglecting to mention the existence of a drastically increased human population there, along with an increased need for water, [3] the igniting of forest fires on a grander scale than had ever been previously seen, even though nothing will exceed the high number & ferocity of fires in the late 1920s and the entire 1930s, as well as in the 1870s. [4]  And let us not forgot the prediction of snowless winters in England ... California ... Utah ... and in the State of Arizona which does have ski resorts.  

Also, that which is called 'the climate crisis' was also claimed to be a crisis, on account of one, and only one, major hurricane that made landfall in the Continental United States in the entire 2022 hurricane season.  Yet, this one hurricane was preceded by a month which had no hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean, at all.  This observation, alone, makes the "climate crisis" alarm a sophomoric farce.  After all, to have only one major hurricane strike mainland North America during a hurricane season is to have no climate crisis at all.

The Actual Outcome of Weather Events in 2023 Thus Far

Instead of bringing the final phase of an extinction-causing drought to Planet Earth, the Year 2023 brought:  [1] the replenishment of dam water levels in the American West,  [2] record cold in New England,  [3] record cold in China,  [4] record cold & snowfall to Japan, and [5] sled riding in England with improvised sleds.  [6] Record high snowpacks in Utah & California.  However, that which transpired thus far in the Year 2023 was NOT the opposite of what the author of this Blue Marble Album site told readers to expect, back in 2022.   

See:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2i_jaY3JdQ&list=PLH8YDbh9qmDG6_EnHnoCHVzJ89x_Oav0Q

While [1] the commercial media, [2] lawsuit abuser Michael Mann, [3] the Biden Administration, [4] the very arrogant governor of California, and [4] the giggling airhead who occupies the vice presidency of the United States all claimed that a new and terminal phase of drought, heatwaves, crop failure, and all-around climate doom had arrived, the Blue Marble Album stated, "No, it hasn't."  None the less, he was written-off and ignored.

Despite the widespread propaganda & peer pressure, the Blue Marble Album author refused to succumb to the bullying and overly theatrical stage productions done under the guise of "mainstream media" news reports.  After all, there is no crisis caused by man-made co2, and the atmosphere is presently 99.9324% carbon-free;.  After all, [1] Nitrogen (78%),  [2] Oxygen (21%),  [3] Argon (0.93%),  [4] Neon (0.0018%),  [5] Helium (0.00052%), and [6] Krypton (0.00011%) are all carbon-free. 

The Blue Marble Album author wanted to be categorically counted out from the climate doomsayer camp, all the while being counted as a full-scale dissenter to the claim that there is a co2-driven & a methane-driven "climate crisis."   He repeatedly stated that "Climate is cyclical, just like a roller coaster."  He also displayed multiple newspaper reports, dating as far back as the 1800s to show that all of 2022's weather events previously happened, in patterned intervals of time, far more frequently than in a 1,000 years, 500 years, and even 150 years.  In fact, these events happened as recently as 2012, 2003, 1998, 1988, 1976, etc, etc, etc.  In as much, the weather events of Feb-March-April of 2023 proved his dissent to be nothing less than adherence to historic chronicles, to authentic almanacs, and to statistical accuracy. 

The Blue Marble Album author also stated, "On a spherical planet tilted at 23 1/2 degrees, one man's drought is another man's flood, and one man's heatwave is another man's cold snap.  He also reminded readers that Antarctica recently had its coldest winter in history in 2021, while two of the three sectors of the Great Barrier Reef became replenished in the same time span.  Yet, he was the one who was told that he didn't know what he was talking-about.  Then came Feb-March-April of 2023.  The scorecard at present reads:

~ the Blue Marble Album author who was NEVER payed as much as a dollar to write/speak for-or-against the present climate doom assertions = Correct.  

~ The celebrated Michael Mann (who NEVER won any type of Nobel Prize) & Al Gore (who was NEVER nominated for the Nobel Prize in Science) = embarrassingly wrong yet again in their predictable doomsday predictions.   

Michael Mann's Diversionary Tactic after the Successful Dam Replenishments

And of course, the dishonest Michael Mann whose Australian predictions failed shortly before his American drought predictions failed had to change the subject and create a diversion.  So, he very falsely claimed that the 2023 Broward County rain of April 12, 2023 was something that no one should see in a thousand years.  He called it the "Thousand Year Event," even though more virulent rain storms occurred in America throughout the 20th Century, including in FLORIDA, on September 5th, 1950.  

In April of 2023, it was reported in a deceptively false light that Southern Florida received 25.6 inches of rain in less than  24 hours.  (Note: the Wikipedia site stated that it happened in 12 hours, but heavily funded U.S. scientific administrations disagree.)   The truth was that only a small patch of Florida land received the 25+ inches, in a 24 hour period.  In nearby Florida terrain --- within the same 24 hour period --- rainfall amounted to  [1] 7.22 inches,  [2] 4.20 inches,  [3] 6.11 inches in Fort Lauderdale, itself,  [4] 9.82 inches,  [5] 6.67 inches,  [6] 6.59 inches,  [7] 8.14 inches,  [8] 5.16 inches,  [9] 9.60 inches,  [10] 7.14 inches.  Such an event is NOT a Thousand Year Event.  Michael Mann is a deliberate liar.  See below:

That 25+ inches only fell on a small patch of Florida land, with the neighboring areas getting much less rain in the same time span  This shows that the media and Michael Mann lie and lie and lie again and again.  PLUS,  25+ inches is NOT Florida's record.  38.70 inches in 1950 is.

In addition to Tampa Florida getting 38.70 inches of rain in 24 hours, in 1950,  [2] Texas got 42 inches of rain in a 24 hour period, in 1979.  Also, [3] Alabama's 24 hr record is 32.5 inches, and that occurred in 1997 --- not 1,001 years ago.   [4] Louisiana's 24 hr record is 22 inches of rainfall which fell in 1962 --- also a time much nearer to 2023 than is 1,000-years-ago.   

Continuing, other 24-hour state records include  [5] California; 25.8 inches in 1943,  [6] Georgia; 21.1 inches in 1994.  The chart below will fill you in on the other State records.  This and many other pieces of evidence posted at the Blue Marble Album illustrates how incessantly the media, Michael Mann, the Biden Administration, and Al Gore have been lying to the public. 

Compliments of the U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.  One correction needs to be made:  Florida's record is 38.0inches, accomplished on September 5, 1950, during Hurricane Easy.

Preview: 

Florida's record rainfall within a 24-hour period did NOT occur in April of 2023.  It occurred on September 5, 1950, when the atmospheric co2 level was much lower than today ... and when the atmospheric methane level was less than 2 parts per million, just as it is today.  On that day, it rained 38.70 inches in the Tampa area, within 24 hours of time.  In fact, on November 11-12, 1980, a total of 23.38 inches of rainfall came upon the Key West international airport ... also in Florida.  In  Thus, the "Fort Lauderdale Storm" was nowhere near a "thousand year storm."  

Similarly, on July 24-25, 1979, a grand total of 42 inches of rain fell upon the Houston area within a 24 hour period.   In fact, on July 19-20, 1997 Dauphin Island Alabama got 32+ inches.  Alabama also got 22-24 inches of rain on another 1997 day, within a 24 hour period.  

In 1942, Pennsylvania once got 30.70 inches of rain in four and a half hour period.  In 1921, Thrall Texas got 36.40 inches of rain within an eighteen hour period.  And in 1943, California received 25.83 inches of rain within a 24 hour period.  The list goes on, and the bottom line is that there were many storms and floods that were far worse than the very temporary one of April 12, 2023.  Moreover, the one piece of evidence which proves the April 12, 2023 Fort Lauderdale rain to be hyper-exaggerated chump change is this:   NO ONE DIED on account of the April 2023 rain there!!!!!  

In contrast, the 1887 Yellow River Flood (Huang-Ho River Flood), in Qing China, killed 930,000+ human lives.  Plus, there were multiple Yellow River floods and numerous deaths throughout history.  The April 12, 2023 Fort Lauderdale rain compares to zero of them.

Moreover, Pennsylvania, a place much closer to Florida than is China, had some of the most powerful flood waters in history.  On May 31, 1889, 1,600 Johnston buildings were simultaneously demolished and swept away, when 16 million tons of water created a 40 foot high channel of raging water, a half mile wide.  Yet, 47 years prior to the 1889 flood, the Indus River Valley (in Pakistan) hosted the most disastrous flood in modern history.  It included100 foot high flood waters.  In fact, also in 1841 was a flood on the Salisbury Plain, called the Great (River) Till Flood of 1841.

Then comes the Great California Flood of 1862, when it days from December 9, 1861 to January 20, 1862.  Flooding extented into Idaho, Washington, Nevada & Utah.  4,000 died from the flood, during a time when the atmospheric co2 level was very very low, @ 286 ppm.   Today, co2 is @ 420 ppm.

There are numerous examples of rainfall and flooding far far worse than the very temporary April 12, 2023 flood which was hyper-exaggerated by the Michael Mann and Al Gore people, in order to deceive you into thinking that the recent Congressional outlay of 370 BILLION taxpayer dollars to the "climate activists & scientists" was necessary.  Newsflash:  It was a waster of taxpayer dollars, proven by the quick 2023 replenishment of Western dams, compliments of nature only ... and not by any funded scientist.

Let us begin:

Within here is yet another piece of evidence which shows that the climate crisis media has been doing nothing more than lying to the public.  Its technique of lying has been the use of:  [1] false light disinformation & [2] sleight-of-hand deception.  This was 100% the case with the July 19, 2022 Great London True Fire Stats, as well as the climate refugee predictions about an Australia that has recently been replenishing quite well, thank you.  

In addition to the Great Barrier Reef having the most coral cover it has had in over 40 years, the Australian ski resorts were in operation, too.  The opposite of what Michael Mann predicted occurred there.  Hearing Michael Mann's weather predictions is like listening to a Beatles album being played backwards.  The same goes for Jim Hansen, formerly of NASA.  He has a perfect record of weather predictions NEVER coming true.

This incessant deceit of the media ... which is simultaneously in line with Jim Hansen's incessant failure at weather predictions ... included the 35 year old watery doom prediction of the Maldives which has recently built 5 NEW autonomous airport landing fields, to accommodate the tourist popularity of those very healthy islands.   

This failed prediction is always accompanied by the prediction that the Arctic Ocean will "very soon" be free of sea ice during some upcoming August.  Yet, the closest that the Arctic Ocean came to an ice-free Summer was in 2012, when 1.32 MILLION  square miles of ice covered the Arctic Ocean.  Now, the square root of 1.32 MILLION square miles is 1,148 linear miles.  Thus, the least amount of ice that the Arctic had was equivalent to the distance from New York City to Kansas City Missouri ... squared.  Let it also be reminded that the glaciers of Glacier National Park were NOT "gone by 2020."

Then comes the matter of the Biden administration deleting from government charts & graphs the massive forest fire frequency of the late 1920s and entire 1930s.  This was done ... in my opinion ... to make the much lesser number of fires since 1983 look like the end of the world.  Today, students fail to realize that the creation of Smoky the Bear campaign in the early 1940s was a sign that forest fires of the 1930s had the attention of an entire nation, due to the traumatic size and even more traumatic effect that those fires had on the American psyche.   Even the extended tragedies of WWII did NOT make Americans ignore the massive acreage that succumbed to forest fires.

Australia is the size of the Continental USA, and it had its heat during the years when America did, also. 

Let us proceed with uncovering yet another lie told by the Michael-Mann-approved & Bill-Gates-funded media, as well as the commercial and even subscription news outlets. 

----------

On April 12, 2023, it was reported that "a Thousand Year" rainfall occurred in Florida, and that this was proof that Planet Earth was now in the midst of an Extinction-Event & Climate Crisis.  This would logically mean that the most rain to ever hit Florida (or anywhere else on Earth) fell on April 12, 2023.  

Michael "Hockey Sticks" Mann was placed in front of a camera, and we were assured that doom was now upon us, and that we all had to shut up, sit down, and fully submit our lives to him and his godlike knowledge of climate; as if no one else on Earth had meteorological statistics at their disposal.

You need to understand that Michael Mann utterly failed in his apocalyptic prediction that Australia will become a land vacated by climate refugees.  This is because the rains healthfully returned to Australia, along with coral cover that regenerated 2 of the 3 sectors of the Great Barrier Reef, as well as profitable Australian ski resorts. 

Then came the failure of the 2022 predictions of "a prolonged American drought," "added forest fire devastation," and "record heat."  This doomsday prediction literally got washed away and "whited out" by means of 2023's record snowpacks & snowfall in the American West, as well as record snowfall in England ... and Japan.  Meanwhile, the accompanying replenishment of American dams also made Mann look like a bumbling buffoon who was clueless to the true climate conditions of Planet Earth.  

If you want to see how far off in their predictions were the climate doomsayers of 2022, as they apply to Feb-Mar-Apr 2023, then take a look at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2i_jaY3JdQ&list=PLH8YDbh9qmDG6_EnHnoCHVzJ89x_Oav0Q 

Due to his climate prediction failures, Michael Mann had to create a diversionary tactic ... to continue deceiving Americans into believing that an apocalyptic extinction-event & climate crisis was underway.  So, he hyper-exaggerated the April 12, 2023 rain in southeastern Florida.  He told everybody that the sky was falling.

When assessing how dishonest is the Michael Mann who NEVER co-won any Nobel Prize, though he and certain media outlets very falsely claim this to be so, compare April 12 to the truly great American water disasters:

In all of the end-of-the-world hype provided by the climate doomsday media outlets, recent official government publications are the evidence which proved the April 12, 2023 rain reports to have been overly-hyped fraudulent misrepresentations.  To start, April 12 wasn't even the day of the most rainfall to ever visit Florida in a 24 hour period.  And it certainly wasn't the most rain to hit America or Planet Earth in a 24-hour period, as well.  

Florida's greatest 24-hour rainfall occurred 73 years ago, when co2 levels were much lower than today, on September 5,1950 ... NOT 1,001 years ago.   It rained 38.70 inches, during Hurricane Easy, covering the land that included my Alma Mater, the University of Tampa, a college that was known for its oceanography program during my time there.

Moreover, on November 11, 1980, 22.75 inches of rain fell on Key West.  That amounts to 43 years ago; NOT 1,001.

Plus, the 25.6 inches of rain (later amended to 5.91 inches) on April 12 (2023) only fell upon an exceptionally small piece of Southeastern Florida real estate.  It only fell on part of Broward County.  The real estate that surrounded the 25.6 inch (25.91 inch) rainfall zone was visited with much less rain at the exact same time.  Observe one of the NOAA & MWS (National Weather Service) prelim reports:  

~ Slightly South of  the 25.91 inch rainfall zone, only 7.22 inches of rain fell.  That equals  28% of 25.91 inches.  Slightly Northwest of it, a mere 4.20 inches of rain fell, and that constitutes only 16% of 25.91 inches.  

~ Slightly north of that zone, at Fort Lauderdale proper, no more than 6.11 inches of rain fell.  One step further south, in Hollywood Florida, it rained 9.82 inches, and this number only equals 38% of the heavily advertised 25.91 inches that fell upon a very small patch of Broward County land.

~  Directly West, it rained 6.59 & 8.14 inches. ---  One step further southwest, at Pembroke Pines, it rained a mere 5.16 inches.  One step further northwest, it rained 9.60 inches . . . all occurring in 24 hours of time.   

In fact, at Pompano Beach, it only rained 3.39 inches.  At Boca Raton Florida, it only rained 2.24 inches.  And at Miami proper, there was a range of 3.51 inches to 4.92 inches of rain.  Meanwhile, down on Miami Beach, it rained no more than 2.02 inches, on the exact same day.

Such numbers are not Thousand Year Events --- or even 150 Year Events --- or even 75 year events.  Now, this hyper-exaggerated doomsday report, in my opinion, was Michael Mann's attempt to rationalize and justify that outrageously exorbitant 370 BILLION taxpayer dollar allotment recently made to less-than-honest activists & scientists (as well as activist scientists.)  That Congressional allocation was done in the name of an apocalyptic climate crisis that certainly does not exist any more than a climate crisis existed throughout in the 1500s or even the 1900s.  

The 25+ inch rain of Apr 12, 2023 only fell on a small patch of Florida land, with the neighboring areas getting much less in the same time span  This shows that the media and Michael Mann lie and lie and lie, again and again and yet again.  Furthermore,  25+ inches in 2023 is NOT Florida's record.  38.70 inches in 1950 is.

Florida has 67 counties, while the United States has 3,243 counties (including Louisiana parishes).  A fraction of one county getting a lot of rain, while the surrounding patches of land only get 1/3 to 1/5 of that amount, is no climate crisis.  You gotta do better than that, if you want people to believe that the world is soon coming to a watery end.  The illustration above and many other pieces of evidence posted at the Blue Marble Album illustrate how incessantly Michael Mann, the Biden Administration, the media, and Al Gore have been lying to the public.  

Rainfall Records Elsewhere

 In recent decades ... within the past century ... other places got far worse than 25 inches of rain in 24 hrs.  As a quick example, Texas got 42 inches of rain in a 24 hour period, in 1979.   2023 minus 1979 = 44 years ago.  NOT 1,001 years ago.

In addition to Tampa Florida getting 38.70 inches of rain in 1950 --- and to Texas getting 42 inches in 1979 --- Alabama got 32.5 inches of rainfall in 24 hours, in 1997.  In as much, 2023 minus 1997 = 26 years ago;  NOT 1,001 years ago.   Plus, California's 24-hour rainfall record was 25.8 inches, and it transpired in 1943; 80 years ago --- NOT 1,001.   

Other 24-hour state records include Louisiana accruing 22 inches of rainfall in 1962 , as well as Georgia getting 21.1 inches in 1994.  Massachusetts got 18.2 inches in 1955, while Missouri got 18.2 inches in 1965.  There is a chart below which will fill you in on the other State records.  

Most rainfall in 18 hours of time

In September of 1921, 36.40 inches of rain fell on Thrall, Texas, in an 18 hour period.  And on July 17, 1942, it rained 30.70 inches for a four and a half hour period, in Smethport, Pennsylvania (12 miles or so south from the NY/PA border.)  That's 30.70 inches in 4.5 hours ... 4 1/2 hours.  Now, 2023 minus 1921 = 102 years ago, when co2 levels were much lower than they are today.  In addition, 2023 minus 1942 = 81 years ago;  NOT 1,001 years ago.

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

When viewing the NWS prelim report below, keep in mind that the NWS Miami twitter account admits that a portion of the rainfall numbers on its Apr13, 9:30am tweet are NOT regarded as official numbers --- that some are numbers gathered by volunteers, and that the numbers came from several sources.  NO matter what stats or illustration you view, only a small patch of land ... relatively speaking ... was involved in the April 12, 2023 rain.  There were far worse flooding events and longer consecutive rain days in the 20th Century.  This was already addressed ... with examples ... at the Blue Marble Album.

The most important thing is that climate is "the prevailing weather TREND." ... usually throughout the most recent thirty-year period.  A mere 24, 48, or 72 doesn't indicate any kind of trend.  Something so short in time is an event' NOT a trend. 

Any one-day event has zero bearing on climate.  There is less than 1/2 of 1% of co2 in that sky out there, and in the same sky methane exists at LESS THAN two parts per million.  During the Cambrian Explosion, when sea life came into existence, there literally was 16 and two-thirds MORE co2 in the sky.  So, you must quit frightening your school students with you end-of-the-world predictions that have been failing since 1970.  Planet Earth is still here, as are the Maldive, Arctic Ice, etc.  In fact, the end of your world (on this Earth) will come a whole lot sooner than the end of "THE WORLD."

Any one-day event has zero bearing on climate.  There is less than 1/2 of 1% co2 in that sky out there, and in the same sky methane exists at LESS THAN two parts per million.  During the Cambrian Explosion, when sea life inclusively & vastly came into existence, there literally was 16 and two-thirds MORE co2 in the sky.  You need to quit during your Al Gore impersonation of climate doom coming tomorrow.  It is assured that the end of your world (on this Earth) will come a whole lot sooner than the end of "THE WORLD."

 10.22 inches of rain is still only half of the 25.91 placed in neon lights by the Bill-Gates-friendly press.  The April 12 event was NOT a long-term, repetitive event.  It's defined as "cherry picking," with the intent of terrifying school children so much that their parents will be effected and then demand yet more hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to be tossed into the hands of the climate doom scientists who have thus far been completely wrong in all their predictions, dating back to 1970.   

The specific predictions of climate doom and massive crop failure and drowning coastlines have been addressed in other texts.  All in all, the Maldives are still there.  The Great Barrier Reef is still there.  Summertime Arctic Ice is still there.  The glaciers of Glacier National Park are still there.  The Daytona Beach and Miami Beach coastlines are still there.  Etc, etc, etc.

As far as goes the world record for the most rainfall to have transpired in a 24 hour period, it occurred on January 7-8, 1966.  It rained 71.8 inches on Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean, east of the island known as Madagascar --- which is east of the African continent.   And of course, 2023 minus 1966 = 57 years ago;  NOT 1,001.  Thus, Michael Mann is a pathetically sophomoric liar with the maturity factor of a 12 year old.  Why did he not think that someone somewhere was going to do some fact checking with official government publications?

As far as goes the longest dry period:  Between October 1903 and January 1918, it did not rain in Arica, Chile --- which is located 11 miles south of the Peru border.  That dry spell occurred 105 to 120 years ago.  That rainless dry spell lasted for 15 years.

In fact, during 1913, in Death Valley USA, the hottest temperature ever recorded was recorded there.  And the years 1920 to 1922 were years of drastic heat and glacier melt, including the melting of Arctic sea ice up to the 82nd parallel.  As a comparison, know that the North Pole is at 90 degrees.  Thus ice melt occurred 8 latitudinal degrees from the North Pole, in 1922; 101 years ago --- NOT 1,001 years ago.

Moreover, the Years 1927 to 1943 were years of massive forest fires in the western United States.  In addition, 1934 was the year of the worst drought in a thousand years, according to NASA.  Meanwhile, 1936 had the hottest summer on record.  So, you lie when you say that the worse weather conditions are occurring today.

Compliments of the U.S. National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration.  One correction needs to be made:  Florida's record is 38.70 inches, accomplished on September 5, 1950, during Hurricane Easy.

Michael Mann was never even nominated for a Nobel Prize. He's a con artist, and scientists looking for congressional funding keep silent about it.

Contrary to his public claim and the claim of Democracy Now, Michael Mann is NOT recognized by the Nobel Foundation as any type of Nobel laureate.  This was confirmed by the official Nobel Foundation Office, itself, in an audio recording.  Michael Mann was NEVER nominated for a Nobel Prize, in the first place.  Being that he was NEVER on the nomination list, he surely was NEVER on the laureate list.  Case Closed.  He's a con artist.  The only question that remains is if whether or not the personnel of Democracy Now were a bunch of dupes or contributory con artists.  They are very prejudiced and agenda-driven.  So, do the math.

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** *

Audio Proof that Michael Mann's Nobel Prize Claim is a fraudulent misrepresentation (aka lie) 

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

That particular recording assures us that Michael Mann is NOT on the list of Nobel Prize sole-winners or co-winners, in any category.  So, you do NOT have to submit to him, no matter what he says or writes.  And you surely don't have to submit to the present-day media who happens to be filled with personnel not known for common sense, honesty, reason, diligence, ... or humility.  BTW, stubbornness is not diligence.

NEITHER has any group affiliated with Michael Mann won or co-won the Nobel prize in Physics ... or in Chemistry ... or in Physiology, aka medicine ... or in Literature ... or in the Economic Sciences.  

There is one and only one group which co-won the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, in 2007.  That was the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.  

Take note that they did NOT win the Nobel Prize in Physics.  The Nobel Peace Prize is only one of the several yearly prizes awarded by the Nobel Foundation, and Michael Mann's name is NOT on any of those peace prize awards ... or any other Nobel award.

All in all, Mann is fraudulently passing himself off as the ultimate end-all scientist of his particular field of study which happens to be "surface temperatures."  

In addition, he's a notably dull and boring speaker.  If you have insomnia, simply go to a Michael Mann talk, and voila!  No more insomnia.  He makes the End of the World sound all so boring.  Therefore, the best thing to wear to a Michael Mann talk is pajamas.  Bring a pillow. 

The great self-negating feature to Michael Mann, decline hider extraordinaire, is something known as evidence.  Take notice:

Above:  Introducing ... in printed legacy ... the Temperature Decline that Michael Mann was hiding, yet which was declared to fully exist, by an unanimous field of specialists ... as far back as 1961.

At this point, it's also important for you to realize that Al Gore NEVER co-won the Nobel Prize in Physics or in Chemistry or in Physiology or in Economic Sciences or in Literature.  Al Gore, at best, is a remedial science student who went on Conan O'Brien's talk show and confidently stated that the center of Planet Earth is millions of degrees.  Try 9,800F to 10,800F, instead.  If the core of Planet Earth were millions of degrees, vaporization & annihilation would have occurred long ago. 

BTW, do you remember reading-of or hearing Michael Mann's doomsday predictions about Australia soon becoming a "climate refugee" nation?  Well, 2022 was a year of record high crops in East Australia.  Also in 2022 was the announcement that  two of the three major sectors of the Great Barrier Reef was replenished to the point of having the most coral cover in 36 years.   The guy lied about Australia, probably assuming that Americans are too stupid to find out what's going-on on the other side of the planet.  Michael Mann is a protected jerk.  One day the protection will suddenly vanish.  The puppeteers will cut the strings.  For now, stay away from the guy.

All in all, Michael Mann is the ultimate Climate Denier in having denied the existence of the Medieval Warm Period & the Mini-Ice-Age, not to mention part of the 1940 to 1979 temperature decline, with all of his "math trick" talent.   See: climategate emails.  

See:  =====>   The Climategate Emails w/ introductory narrations.   <=====

Now, concerning the 1950s (in part), the '60s (in whole), & the '70s (predominately so), the cooling trend had gotten to the point where England's growing season was shortened by two weeks.  No matter what today's lying propagandists publish, it was very cold back then.  In fact, as American schoolchildren walked toward their homes, they had to turn around and walk backwards, so that the bitter cold wind would not directly stream down their shirt/blouse collars.  

It was assumed at the time that Winters were to be bitterly cold, as a rule.  This is why the warming trend of 1983 & 1984 surprised people.  In fact, February 1998 was so nice that it scared people, including radio icon Paul Harvey.  Then, when the coldest winter in 40 years arrived (in 2014), humanity realized that the climate is cyclical.

See:   New York Times, May 21, 1975

The proxy evidence showed a decline in surfaces temps from the WWII period to the new millennium.

Enter Keith Raphael Briffa (1952 - 2017).  He was the quintessential tree ring proxy advocate.  This means that he was an aficionado in Dendroclimatology.  His climate "reconstruction" of the past 1,000 years -- abridged into 600 years -- goes as follows:

The red section above is what Mann was praised for hiding, in the Climategate emails.

Below: Look at the YELLOW LINE, toward the right side of the predominately blue graph.  Look closely at the "0.0C" temperature anomaly X-axis.  If the Briffa reconstruction were not deleted, Michael Mann could not have drawn a steeply upward sloping line to represent drastic warming. 

Now, the Y-axis scale on the chart below is not remarkable, because the whole chart involves no more than 1.5 degree Celsius in variability.  Thus, the chart only deals with small increases or decreases in the temperature anomaly (aka temperature changes.)  Using smaller increments exaggerates the slope of a graph and serves to deceive people, instead of enlightening them.  It makes that which is little look much more pronounced than it really is.

BELOW:  Look at the Briffa Reconstruction again, in a more clear view.  It's based on tree ring density only.  The Briffa line is green and it starts at the Year 1400 or so.  

As far as goes Mann, he has two lines on that graph.  The thinner line is dark blue and it doesn't begin until 1580.  That was ever-so-coincidentally after the great heatwave & drought of 1540.  None the less, that thinner dark blue line only involves temperatures from Latitude 30N to 70N.  This means that it does NOT involve global temperatures.  After all, no southern hemispheric temperatures are involved, and no northern tropical temperatures are involved.  

The Tropics are 23.5 degrees latitude, north & south.  Yet, Michael Mann's math doesn't begin until the 30th parallel north.  Welcome to Michael Mann's real math trick.  It's the trick where you leave numbers out of the equation.

The other line of Mann, the black one, involves all Northern Hemispheric temps from 1000 C.E to 2000 C.E.  However, it's the dark blue "30N-70N" line which is the one able to hide the decline. 

 

Note that the slope of the temperature decline was very pronounced.  So, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change simply cut off the decline at the Year 1960.  Then came Michael Mann and his bag of tricks. The disappearing act ensued.

The MBH Hockey Stick Graph--- was never test driven or tested for cracks.  (M=Mann, B=Bradley, H=Hughes)

Michael Mann, Decline Hider Extraordinaire, never revealed the data sets that he used to justify the drawing of his asininely ridiculous hockey stick climate graph.  Thus, he never justified why he deleted the historically known Medieval Warm Period and the very well chronicled Mini Ice Age.  

Rumor had it that Mann dropped the use of proxy evidence as soon as it showed a decline in surface temperatures.  He then included thermostat stats, in its place.  This is the act of mixing apples with oranges.

The irony to that graph was that it was a straight declining line for 1,000 years, by a half degree, as if Climate were in a perpetually stagnate coffin, except for handful of upticks.  One uptick on his very fraudulent graph was during the Wolf Minimum.  Oops.  He denied the Little Ice Age at its historic beginning. 

The Wolf Minimum came in 1280 and preceded the Great Plague of 1348.  The Great Plague is often regarded as the start of the Mini Ice Age.  Actually, 1280 C.E. can be regarded as the start of the 550 year age of Ice Dominance.  

None the less, the Briffa reconstruction had temperatures that were higher at the start of the 20th century.  Thus, the real decline was a sharper downward slope. Mann decided to make the slope much more gradual.  This meant that, according to Michael Mann, there are no natural mechanisms to create weather variations on an upward temperature trend more than half a degree.  According to Mann, upward trends can only be accomplished by the use of the combustible engine.   Yet, drastic weather changes occurred throughout history ... long before the invention of the combustible engine and the Mack Truck. 

Well, there were a number of climate change scenarios in the past 4,000 years, when there were no combustible engines or coal power plants.  In some cases, there weren't even chariots.  Michael Mann's graph is an insult to human intelligence.  Well, all of Michael Mann is an insult to human intelligence ... not merely his hockey stick graph.

During the Renaissance Era Ice Age, there were still occasional warm Summers and hot days throughout that time.  One example was the June 28, 1778 Battle of Monmouth which involved 25,000 troops.  It was fought in present-day Freehold New Jersey.  That was a huge number of soldiers for the American Revolutionary War.  The June 1778 battle ended with the British withdrawing its troops at night, incidentally.  

In addition, there were droughts during those centuries, including the 1540s Tudor Drought.  There were catastrophic hurricanes, too, even though the atmospheric co2 count was very low, when compared to today.  As an example, 1780 was a catastrophic year with hurricane damage being its highlight.  One hurricane killed 22,000 people, in 1780.

The 2nd most asinine thing Michael Mann ever said in front of a camera.  

Michael Mann was asked how much CO2 must be removed from the atmosphere.  Mann confidently said, "Half the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in ten years," ... in order to prevent a 1.5C catastrophic temperature rise.  Stop there.  That spoken line shows that Mann either knows nothing about the new findings in atmospheric physics or he is just not thinking when he talks.

Proxy history showed that not even a 2C rise is catastrophic, but rather, a 2C rise accompanied the rise of the great & historic Roman Empire.  For the record, it was scientifically & professionally surmised, via Mediterranean proxy material, that the Roman Warm Period was TWO degrees CELSIUS warmer than it is today.

Plus, the temperature rise helped the Romans finally conquer the hard hitting Gaul army of Chieftain Vercingetorix, in an eight year-long war --- in a land known as present-day France.  Thus, a 1.5C rise in surface temperature is NOT anywhere near catastrophic.  

For the record, the Gauls used to terrorize Italy ... demand tribute, take Italian gold, etc.  So, Julius decided to stop the terror attacks and bring back to Italy the Roman gold that had Vercingetorix's fingerprints on it.

None the less, here is the supreme asininity of that one Michael Mann assertion, concerning deleting half the CO2 from the atmosphere:

{1} Half of today's level of co2 = 210 parts per million (ppm).  That constitutes 50 ppm LESS THAN during cave-man days.  That constitutes 73 ppm LESS THAN the start of the 19th Century, aka the Napoleonic Era.  Both time periods occurred when the human population was much smaller than today.

See for yourself:  ***>  Atmospheric CO2 graph, starting at 1800  <***

{2a}  Today's population is 8 BILLION in human beings, meaning that much more crop harvesting is needed today than during the Napoleonic War Years when the world population was approximately 1 billion.  Thus, much more CO2 is needed today, and coincidentally enough, the atmosphere is presently providing the extra needed amount of CO2 for our era.  

{2b} CO2 is the KEY to PHOTOSYNTHESIS.  When CO2 goes below 150 ppm, all photosynthesis halts.  Life on Earth soon follows suit.  Dropping the CO2 count to 210 ppm is irresponsible.

{2c} NASA has already reported on the added greening of the present-day Arctic Circle during the Summer months.  Extra CO2 increases photosynthesis throughout the Earth.  In as much, IF you want to "go green," the first thing that you have to do is INCREASE THE ATMOSPHERIC CO2 LEVEL.  Growers do this to their greenhouses, as a rule.

See:  NASA's Satellite Technology shows the greening of the Earth

            Added co2 and added plant growth demonstration

The asininity of Michael Mann and his fellow racketeer, Al Gore, is that they are doing the opposite of what it takes to "go green."  This anti-co2 mindset is the Supreme Asininity of the climate doomsayers.

In as much, pursuant to the NY Times vs Sullivan case law authority, I, a private citizen, state my opinion of public figure, Michael Mann:  

Michael Mann is a contrived fad.  He's an artificially propped-up mouthpiece, presented as the wisdom of the ages. 

Mann is only famous, because of the hockey stick graph.  Yet,  he never showed the public the data sets upon which his neon-lighted hockey stick climate graph came to be.   He could have made up that graph as much as some people made-up record breaking high temperatures in those parts of Africa which had NO WEATHER MONITORING STATIONS.

Thus, the one hockey stick graph which made Mann a contrived news show icon has never been tested for cracks.  It has never been test-driven.  Would you buy a car you never test-drove?  Of course not.  So, we the People of the United States do NOT buy Michael Mann's untested climate change hockey stick graph.  

This is especially true for those of us who worked outdoors, year after year, and decade after decade.  This is because we are experienced enough to know that ====> Climate is cyclical.

Plus, Michael Mann has a very financial conflict of interest in the promotion of his hockey stick graph which omits the historically supported Mini-Ice-Age which included:

{1a} the great frosts, great floods, crop failures & mass starvation often mentioned in the Bristol Chronicles.

{1b}, the Sporer Solar Minimum which has now been concluded to have actually existed from the starting point of 1460 C.E.

{2} The irony & counter-intuitive hot year of 1540, followed by the cold account of 1640, in showing how Mann's virtual straight-lined graph needed more spikes in it, to reflect historic climate reality.

{3} The North American drought year of 1580, showing more of the need of upward spikes in the Mann Hockey Stick graph.

{4} The Grindelwald Fluctuation of 1560 - 1630, which even included out-of-season snowfalls.

{5} The well-known Maunder Solar Minimum which included warm Summers, in addition to ice-ridden Winters.

{6} The Dalton Solar Minimum of 1790 - 1830 which included the 1816 Summer That Never Was.

All in all, the "Mann, Bradley, & Hughes" graph is typically Orwellian, in that it rewrites history. 

Why don't the newscasters ask Michael Mann how much personal money he personally made since the publishing of his hockey stick graph?  Why doesn't Michael Mann simply come out and let us Americans know how much currency was transacted into his financial portfolio in the form of taxpayer dollars?

None the less, for the past 4,000 years, climate change has literally been occurring every 124 to 600 years.  Climate is a long-term roller coaster ride.   Climate is cyclical.

Ah, yes.  Michael Mann.  Hiding the Decline Since 1999.

Michael Mann proved himself to be utterly heartless, if not an indifferent psychopath, against an elderly retired Air Force pilot, on account of the pilot saying that, even though Michael Mann was teaching at Penn State, he should have been at the State pen (penitentiary), instead.   One sentence was spoken, and a ridiculous amount of Canadian civil lawsuit attorney fees ensued.

The retired & elderly pilot who earned a doctorate degree let me know how much suffering Mann put him through, and he informed me that he intended to let the world know about those sufferings after the lawsuit ended.  Well, the lawsuit ended.  There was no communication between me and the Canadian gentleman since I left Chicago, in 2019.  He recently passed-on into eternity.  His videos are his legacy.

And remember, pursuant to NY Times vs Sullivan, a private citizen may publicly state his opinion of a public figure, in the United States.  I'll be politely reserved for now.  I only stated half of my opinion thus far.

It suffices to state that some people in this world are really sick jokes, and for long periods of relative time, it appears that they will get away with every wrong they have ever performed.  But, appearances are not all what they appear to be.  History repeats itself.  

Do the math on this one ... on the person who caused schoolchildren dread, and who caused gasoline prices to skyrocket, in his role as an advisor to the Dementia-ridden president.  The same person caused an elderly former air force pilot the loss of his life savings and the gain of accompanying dread.  Justice, in the end, prevails.

For now, be like a charming Latin gentleman, even if you hate us Latins to the marrow of our beings.  Do NOT write to Michael Mann.  Only address his superiors and the Court of Public Opinion, as well as a RICO court.  Do NOT walk up to Michael Mann in a restaurant.  Let him have a relaxing time.  Do NOT picket in front of his house, his office, etc.  Be as charming as a Ricardo Montalban.  Charm doesn't hurt anyone.   Meanwhile, simply boycott Michael Mann.

The goal is to see to it that humanity clearly sees that Michael Mann and the less than brilliant Al Gore have been lying, in sleight-of-hand deceit, all along.  In order to achieve this goal, it is NOT necessary to harass anyone in a restaurant or to picket in front of a domicile.

People like Michael Mann are necessary to avoid, because he's a liar who will claim that you threatened him, if you get anywhere close to him ... or he will tell some lie about you.  So, stay away from Hockey Sticks Mann.  Simply boycott him.

Sincerely,

                        Private US Citizen #40,801,958.

Meanwhile, Beneath the Strawberry Skyline

by Steve Sleboda and Pat Pontillo
(Steve wrote the even numbered stanzas)

The ace of spades held deeply within a conspiratorial sleeve
floated downward, through the mass of clouds that pushed
the continental plates of a strawberry skyline
into a dark gravity that once held the moon over an ocean's balcony.

The maps lay frozen under camps of the enemy where friendly fire grew wings.
Spotted birds delivering porridge to the ancestors weep tears of a frayed greenery.
Courage scampers across borders of arrogance, in pockets of disgust & fame.
There was a sound coming from the well, along with a light only the cricket knew.

Tracer bullets at midnight and then pistols at dawn, followed by flash bulbs firing off
in the minds of the survivors who see encores of the tragedy in a theater of fear.
A distant solitary planet, posing as a star, clears a granulated sky
during another cricketless night.

There are no borders to conceal the glow coming from the starless distance.
Energy given to the language where voice is a sand dune
and where thought has no spike under its tongue,
as it grapples with the snail in the mirror.

Gravity turns its head back toward the scene of the accident
where, within its perimeters, rain puddles reflect the pulse of red lights.
Everyone crosses the Do Not Cross line in a disheveled motion
that resembles a mud dried trench coat which once sat under a Christmas tree.

The owl lands in the oak above the tarp covering the memory of cloth.
Trying to find a priest in this century is forbidden and will not be tolerated.
Deliveries to the warehouse out back startle the innocent one.
Let's call it a day and welcome homeless a new generation of dissonant strangers.
