Climate-Porn Nonsense: The Existential Threat of Becoming The Next Venus

How likely is it Earth will become the next Venus, in regards to hellish temperatures?

Zilch.

Regardless of which climate-porn cult figure is proselytizing, the end result is a stream of soon-to-be climate change doomsday scenarios within the next 9 to 12 years.

The "doomsday" is always categorized as an "existential threat" due to the "extreme" global warming from human CO2 emissions, which will deliver onto us those Venus-like temperatures.

NOT.GOING.TO.HAPPEN. 

Unfortunately, even those who definitely should know better can't resist the temptation to spread the ludicrous claims of Venus-like temperatures that will "cause" oceans to begin to boil.

As the adjacent chart reveals, both atmospheric and surface temperatures of Earth are a fraction of those associated with Venus (the orange 430°C and red 460°C lines).

Since the beginning of the satellite climate measurement capability, Earth's lower troposphere temperature dark blue line) has fluctuated between -2.5°C and -5.8°C and the surface temperature of the Tropics (aqua line) have fluctuated between +17.8°C and 19.0°C. and as the end of 2020, those temperatures were -5.1°C and 18.4°C, respectively.

As the empirical evidence displayed on the chart indicates, Earth's temperatures have fluctuated within a very limited range over the last 40+ years, without even a hint of the pending Venus-like "doomsday."

And this has taken place during a span of very high human emissions from fossil fuel combustion. On the chart, note that the monthly changes (black dots) in Earth's CO2 levels over that 464-month span are plotted.

Despite the releases of the huge amounts of human CO2 into the atmosphere, the actual climate change impact on Earth's absolute temperatures is the antithesis of a possible Venus style "existential" threat of runaway tipping point temperatures.

Climate Doomsday Propaganda Refuted: Scientists Determine CO2 Does NOT Increase Extreme Precipitation Events

Climate doomsday cultists are constantly reminding that CO2 emissions are causing an increased frequency and intensity of precipitation events. But these claims are categorically wrong, per the empirical science.

From a review of a recent peer-reviewed journal article:

"According to the seven researchers, the lower Yangtze River basin has experienced "wet periods with precipitation above the mean value ... in 1845-1891, 1907-1917, and 1935-1959," whereas dry periods occurred in "1892-1906, 1918-1934, and 1960-2011." But there were also a total of 28 anomalously wet and 28 anomalously dry years across the record...And upon further examination, Xu et al. report that "anomalous events frequently occurred in the 1880s, 1890s and 1910s (5 events per decade), but seldom in the 1980s and 2000s (only 1 event per decade)." Consequently, it would appear that the frequency of anomalous wet and dry years has declined in recent decades, having been more common in the earlier part of the record than the latter." 

As the empirical mountain of scientific evidence grows, it establishes the corresponding reality that the climate doomsday propaganda has a greater propensity to being refuted. Doomsday anti-science never fares well when exposed to the bright light of empirical fact-based research. 

Additional failed climate change predictions.

Hottest & Coldest Temperatures By Continent, As of 2020

One would think with the constant narrative barrage of climate change "doomsday" that there would be overwhelming empirical evidence proving that "catastrophic" global warming was creating continental wastelands of devastation from extreme temperatures.

But in reality, that isn't the case at all, as can be observed on the adjacent map image (click on image to enlarge).

When examining the hottest/coldest temperature records for the major continental masses, there has not been a new extreme temperature record established since 1994, per Wikipedia.

In fairness, there are smaller island and peninsula geographic areas that are surrounded by oceans that have new temp records since 1994. But those isolated incidents do not represent what is happening on the principal land mass of continents.

The fact that the "expert" predicted global warming doomsday from the trace greenhouse gas CO2 is not being observed at the continental level, even after decades of massive fossil fuel emissions, indicates that the global climate is not experiencing a "tipping point" of instability, which would result in an "existential" threat.

In summary, it's another case of those stubborn facts refuting the anti-science orthodoxy of dogmatic doomsday propaganda.

Latest Evidence: NOAA & Smithsonian Confirm Modern Era Temps Well Below Those of Past

As many climate scientists and skeptics have reported extensively, today's global temperatures are not unusual or exceptional in terms of warmth.

In fact, current global temperatures are so below what has occurred in the past, scientists at both NOAA and the Smithsonian Institution have been forced to deal with that reality.

Their updated (adjacent) temperature graph, as published in this article, clearly depicts modern temps significantly below those of past warmer periods.

Besides being below those of the past, the graph demonstrates that the idea of a "stable" climate is bunk. The climate is always changing and that also applies to today's climate.

It's another case of 'those stubborn facts' that is so hated by green-activists and wealthy renewable energy cronies.

Rank Covid-19 Hysteria & Fearmongering By Democrats/Liberals Refuted By The Science

Joe 'Basement' Biden is the tip of the propaganda spear when it comes to stupidity and the pathetic anti-science hysteria being pushed by the 'Karens' of the world. 

The most dangerous and contagious aspect of the Covid-19 is the viral fearmongering emanating from the bullhorn of MSM and major social media sites.

And millions of supposedly "smart" and educated Americans have swallowed the proverbial hook-line-sinker of the propaganda bait.

Yet, over the last three days we've learned what the objective empirical data and science is now confirming what the skeptical, anti-hysteria scientists and medical professionals have been stating:

   1. W.H.O.: The 'Lockdowns' don't really work that well

 

   2. CDC: The 'Facemasks' don't really work that well

 

Literally, W.H.O. and the CDC have inconveniently debunked the major liberal/left narratives that have caused some 8 months of unprecedented catastrophic pain for most Americans who are not in the top 5% of economic/wealth privilege.

Instead of continuing to push the anti-science mandated policies that are found to be of questionable effectiveness in stopping Covid transmission and deaths - but have been certainly devastating in their societal impact on the quality of life - Democrats and liberals need to start embracing informed policy choices based on actual evidence and the real science.

Maybe it's time for left-of-center Americans to finally break their addiction to the 24/7/365 fearmongering and hysteria of CNN and MSNBC and instead start reading what the top epidemiologists are finding, reporting, and suggesting as policies - targeted, precise pandemic measures.

Evil Censorship & Election Interference By "Americans" Perpetrated Against Americans

Thirty short slideshow videos that reveal stories and issues the mainstream media would like everyone to forget. They do so by totally ignoring the story or downplaying the issues that does not fit their MSM Biden-Harris narrative.

Combined with the actions of Big-Tech social media sites, the censorship is massive.

It's a constant case of gaslighting the masses in the buildup to the November 3, 2020 election, influenced by a palpable partisan bias and their absurd Trump Derangement Syndrome.

These censorship efforts continue to be a gigantic, horrible disservice to the American public and has become an evil election interference/malfeasance that is multiple times greater in comparison to the Chinese and Russian election influence machinations.

Covid-19: The Fauci Fiasco

 

One has to wonder if Anthony Fauci et al should be considered as enemies of the state?

 

Fauci's Covid flip-flopping and constantly being wrong since January has become a national disgrace. And the leaders of the CDC, NIH and FDA are sitting in that same Fauci boat named 'Fiasco,' still pulling the oars in the opposite direction of what's best overall for Americans. 

 

Below are a sample of recent Tweets that confirms the obvious: American infectious disease experts are an embarrassment, if not a world laughingstock.

 

 

 

Anti-Prosperity Democrats Joe Biden & Kamala Harris Are Wrong: Climate Change & Global Warming Are Natural, Not A Result of CO2

(click on to enlarge)

Out of touch, and well outside the boundaries of the U.S. mainstream moderate electorate, Democrat Joe Biden and his fringe left colleagues have been declaring that the world - as we know it - is soon going to end due to a global warming and a resulting climate change apocalypse.

But is that a reasonable, rational pro-science expectation?

Instead of focusing on the major reason of a natural rebound progression of global warming since the Little Ice Age, the anti-growth, anti-prosperity Democrats point to the smaller human related impact: fossil fuel emissions (CO2) from modern industrial/consumer activities.

The Democrat Party's anti-growth, anti-prosperity, anti-CO2 platform has become a dominant party position ever since the June 1988 climate doomsday Congressional testimony of NASA's chief climate scientist, James Hansen.

It was from that Congressional testimony that the doomsday prophecies of unprecedented global temperature change from CO2 became the lodestone of the party's faithful.

So, how good have those doomsday global warming change prophecies been since June 1988 (32 years ago)? In a one-word summation: lousy.

This first chart shows the temperature change plots of the IPCC's gold-standard global temperature dataset, along with the monthly cumulative growth of atmospheric CO2 levels (ppm) since June 1, 1988 through June 2020. Multiple periodicities of temperature change include 1-year (twelve month); 5-year (60 months); 10-year (120 months); 15-year (180 months); and, 20-year (240 months).

For example, the chart's 15-year temperature change ending June 2020 is almost identical to the 15-year temperature change ending June 1988. Respectively, those changes were +0.13°C and +0.11°C.

That tiny difference certainly confirms that over the past 30 years there has not been an extreme impact on longer-term temperature change despite some 850 billion tonnes of CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere since 1988.

And the chart absolutely reflects an up/down pattern of temperature change for all periodicities, but clearly it does not demonstrate any significant relationship to the very substantial, monotonous linear growth of CO2 levels.

To clear the clutter of multiple curves crisscrossing each other on the first chart, this next chart depicts the 36-month average (3-year average) of each temperature change curve found on the prior graph.

(click on to enlarge)

These plots also confirm an up/down pattern for all periodicities, plus confirms an absence of relation between the atmospheric CO2 level linear growth and temperature change.

Based on this empirical evidence of rather stable cyclical temperature change, plus the evidence from the prior article that global warming acceleration/deceleration also follows a cyclical pattern, it can be fairly surmised that human CO2 emissions are having little, if any, climate significant impact on global temperatures.

Although NASA's top climate scientist in 1988 predicted climate disaster was upon us due to intense global warming from CO2, after 30+ years it's time to admit he was wrong and it's time for the Democrats to stop pushing this anti-science, anti-prosperity, doomsday propaganda.

As usual in climate science, it's just another case of those stubborn facts that are so inconvenient.

Trump Correct On Climate Change "Doomsday": Climate Just Happens & Is Not An Existential Threat

(click chart to enlarge)

The Trump administration remains steadfast in its reliance on the actual climate scientific evidence that refutes Biden's hyperbole of climate doomsday and anti-science prophecies that plague the left-wing Democrats.

As the adjacent chart reveals, the empirical evidence is irrefutable: global warming trends indicate a 'situation normal' as the global climate continues to have spurts of accelerate warming and deceleration towards rapid cooling. 

In contrast to Trump, Biden - and his Democrat cult of doomsday soothsayers - completely mislead the public with claims of global devastation within the next 9 to 12 years from civilization's continuing fossil fuel emissions due to  energy production.

Climate doomsday is not an empirically-based claim but an irrational belief without data.

This charts plots the monthly observed warming/cooling trends - i.e. data - and the cumulative growth of the atmospheric CO2 levels (see green dots) since 1850.

Clearly, the scientific evidence indicates the following:

• Prior to the 1950's start of massive consumer/industrial fossil fuel CO2 emissions, global climate change warming/cooling took place over the short-term with great frequency and intensity.
• After 1950, despite the massive emissions, the great frequency/intensity of climate change continued with similar short-term patterns.
• Yet, neither period of large climate short-term swings resulted in longer-term significant climate change. The 120-month, 180-month, and the 240-month trends reveal a very insignificant and slow change up and down. Put in the context of the climate volatility of short-term periods, the long-term volatility borders on being exceptionally unnoticeable and boring.
• And after NASA's chief climate scientist claimed before Congress in 1988 that global temperatures would lead to tremendous climate destruction from CO2 emissions, the same climate change ups/downs simply continued as in the past (see 1988 arrow on chart) establishing that NASA "experts" were not so expert.
• The incredible growth of human CO2 emissions are demonstrably shown to be unrelated to short-term climate swings of warming and cooling; and, if the emissions are truly impactful on long-term climate, it is an insignificant impact when compared to the natural ups/downs of climate change.
• Most importantly, neither the short-term or long-term trends substantiate Biden's belief that a climate doomsday tipping point is soon to happen and wreak havoc. Instead, what the data reveal is a climate that will naturally cycle through extreme points but returns to normal from the built-in negative feedback.

Just another case of those stubborn facts.

It's Indisputable Empirical Evidence: Trump's Policies Are Slowing Global Warming & Climate Change

(click to enlarge)

It is a known fact that during the Obama and Biden administration, global warming accelerated to a very high rate, which in turn resulted in the overall climate change accelerating.

Since January 2017, the Trump administration has slashed regulations and introduced new energy policies that unleashed American firms to innovate and invest at a spectacular speed. 

The end result has not only produced an actual cooling trend for global 'warming,' and thus a slowing of climate change, but Trump's policies have produced the long-sought energy independence and security that former President Jimmy Carter only dreamed of.

This chart reflects the empirical evidence of the Trump successes.

If only Democrats' Obama and Biden had embraced smart and innovative energy/climate polices during their tenure, the world would have been that much further along in addressing global warming.

April 5, 2020 Versus June 15, 2020: Comparing U.S. State Covid-19 Death Rates

(click on to enlarge)

As the chart suggests, there are a large number of states that dealt with the Covid pandemic in a manner that caused excessive deaths.

Once the coronavirus pandemic has finally passed, a federal commission should be established to investigate those state government politicians and health bureaucrats that completely failed their citizens during this crisis. The total ineptness shown by some state officials should be identified, named and shamed. 

At a minimum, one would hope that the constituents of the states that became needless Covid killing grounds should vote responsible politicians and their associated party out of office.

This is doubly true since many of the same states and politicians allowed their major cities to be looted and burned-out during the recent BLM riots.

Notes: The death data plotted on adjacent chart is from the Covid Tracking Project and state population figures used to calculate the deaths per 100K is from Wikipedia. Why April 5 date? Out of convenience - that was the very first date that 'C3' had calculated the death/100k figure for all states, plus D.C.

Remember When Climate Experts & MSM Were Fear-Mongering About The Amazon Being Destroyed By Droughts Caused By CO2? Never Mind

(click on to enlarge)

Back around 2005-2010, the climate change experts and the mainstream media were going on and on about the Amazon devastation due to droughts.

The implication was that the droughts were due to human caused climate change, and the droughts, in turn, would cause more climate change that would then cause the droughts to worsen - a prospective positive feedback loop prediction that did not bode good tidings for humans.

But skeptics around the world challenged these conclusions for obvious reasons.

Major regional droughts have always happened and they were not driven by human CO2 emission activity in the form of fossil fuel consumption. Plus, surprise, droughts have this habit of ending, which are then followed by periods of plentiful rain.

The 2005 and 2010 Amazon droughts were no different.

As it turns out, the skeptics were right again and the climate experts; and the expert/MSM coalition were again victims of their own failed prediction hubris.

In a recent peer-reviewed study, nine scientists reconstructed the precipitation totals for the eastern equatorial Amazon basin of Brazil.

The adjacent chart depicts their findings. Simply stated, there are periods of excess rainfall and there are subsequent periods of drought over the 230-year period. The dramatic precipitation fluctuations are part of the natural cycle and those droughts taking place in the 21st century are part of this natural pattern.

From a review of the study:

"Examination of the precipitation record reveals, in the words of the authors, that it is "dominated by interannual and subdecadal variability, not unlike the instrumental precipitation totals for the eastern Amazon study area." Focusing on such variability captured in the reconstruction, Granato-Souza et al. note the existence of two extended wet episodes, a mid-twentieth century period from 1942-1956 and an earlier late nineteenth century period between 1882 and 1903, and one exceptional extended dry episode that occurred during the years 1864 and 1881.....A longer-term perspective of the moisture regime clearly indicates there is no compelling support for that contention given that both wet and dry periods of greater duration and magnitude have naturally occurred throughout the record despite atmospheric CO2 concentrations being much lower than they are today."

Peer-Reviewed Study: Repeat Coral Bleaching Just Happens, No Humans or CO2 Needed

(click on image to enlarge)

A warm water coral reef provides the latest evidence that coral bleaching events occur with some regularity, and that there is always a reef recovery, no matter how severe the bleaching.

A team of 15 researchers analyzed extracted coral reef cores from the equatorial Pacific's Jarvis Island.

The evidence they gathered indicates bleaching events were even taking place early in the 20th century, and that there appears to be a periodic 5-year repeat of the coral bleaching. 

Per a review of the peer-reviewed study:

"In contemplating the above findings, Barkley et al. say that their historical bleaching reconstruction "reveals a coral reef community that has bleached frequently, and at times catastrophically, yet appears to have maintained a healthy state over time."..."Barkley et al. note that "the record implies that the Jarvis coral community has bleached with varying degrees of severity every five years, on average"....while...."it was ranked among the healthiest of all ocean ecosystems, notwithstanding it has experienced repeated episodes of moderate to severe bleaching every five years."

"According to the authors, recurring bleaching events were also identified prior to the six decades of time focused on in their study (1960-2016). As noted, Barkley et al. report that "two cores extend back to the turn of the 20th century, and the earliest stress bands appear in these cores in 1912, indicating that bleaching occurred on Jarvis over 100 years ago."

"And, it suggests rising atmospheric CO2 and rising ocean temperatures over the course of the past century have had no measurable impact on either the frequency or severity of El Niño warming events."

COVID-19 Deaths/100K By State: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

(click on to enlarge)

The Bad: At least as of May 5, 2020, the following states have proven to be rather inept in their containment of the lethal novel coronavirus: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Louisiana, District of Columbia, Michigan, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois, Delaware, and Indiana.

These will be known as the 'Dirty 13' states.

The Ugly: Plus, a number of the above states have revealed themselves to be smitten with authoritarian dictatorial powers that is leading to unnecessary incitement of the populace.

Coronavirus health policy mismanagement and Venezuela-style totalitarianism is not a real good combination look for any state in America. 

The Good: It should be noted that those states that never enacted stay-at-home orders have some very envious results with lower than expected per capita deaths. Our supposed "experts" essentially predicted that the opposite would happen.

And those states that have already let their stay-at-home polices expire, either in late April or early May, have relatively good results when compared to the per capita deaths experienced in the 'Dirty 13' states.

Colorado is the only state with a Democrat governor that has decided to let its stay-at-home order expire. At 14.8 deaths per 100K, it is the closest to the 'Dirty 13.'

But that 14.8 translates into a living statistic of 99,985.2 per 100K. Thus, anyone currently living in that state has a hypothetical 99.985% chance of not subcumming to the CoronaCCPvirus.

In order for America's economy to survive and for getting people back to their prior quality of life standard, any state with a per capita death rate less than 20.0/100K ought to seriously consider ending their stay-at-home policy and get on with a 99.985% or better chance of life.

 

Note: May 5, 2020 deaths for each state were from this source.

Evidence Emerging That U.S. Blue State Liberal Ineptness Has Led To Excess Coronavirus Deaths

Below is the full list of U.S. states, and a large sample of European countries and territories, ranked by the number of coronavirus deaths per 100 thousand. The dataset for this table was pulled from www.worldometer.com, including the populations to calculate the deaths per 100k. (Data as of mid-afternoon April 23.)

As can be seen, quite a few U.S. states have achieved a low death count ranking, with many doing a better job than European counterparts.

At the bottom of the table, those countries and states that achieved a worse ranking than the overall position of the U.S. are highlighted in green and blue colors.

Note that every single U.S. state (and D.C.) at the bottom (highlighted in blue) are states with Democrat governors with major metropolitan centers controlled by Democrat mayors. As this evidence would suggest, inept polices by Democrat politicians have serious consequences for quality of life, especially during emergency periods.

When examining the U.S data more closely, there are 38 states that have less than 10 deaths per 100k (as of April 23, 2020). The average for those 38 states comes in at 3.7 deaths per 100k, which is quite respectable compared to many of the larger European countries.

Is The Established Pattern of Weekly Deaths For Flu & Pneumonia Since 2013 Changing Due to Coronavirus?

Are U.S. weekly total deaths increasing due to coronavirus? The answer is that they are doing the opposite since the peak of the flu season, which may surprise a lot of people

Weekly U.S. flu deaths are also showing a decline after this season's flu peak

And weekly pneumonia deaths were also on the decline from the flu peak. But in the very last week on the chart they jumped significantly.

One reason for this outcome may be the result of coronavirus infection deaths also being coded with associated pneumonia. Or actual COVID-19 deaths being inaccurately labeled as pneumonia deaths. 

These mortality statistics are heavily revised each week by the CDC as more complete information is submitted to CDC by the states.

The adjacent chart is a plot of this dataset from the U.S. CDC. Click on chart to enlarge.

(The very latest week of statistics was not included in the chart since it included a datapoint of only 27,500 total deaths for the week - that would be a record extreme low since 2013.)

CoronaCCPVirus: The Mainstream Media & Democrat Claim That It's All Trump's Fault

Do the facts regarding the COVID-19 virus support the claim that Trump is responsible for excess virus infections and deaths in the U.S.?

Not in the least.

The claims are a mere combination of political lies and self-serving propaganda, per the empirical evidence, as of the morning of April 19, 2020 from Worldometer.com.

Using the coronavirus and population data from that site, the adjacent table was constructed to identify the documented death and case characteristics for the 15 well established Western European countries versus the U.S.

While each individual country is much smaller than the U.S., the total of the 15 countries is similar in population size to that of America.

When the aggregate of European deaths and cases are compared to the U.S. totals, it is readily apparent that the overall results lean slightly in Trump's favor.

And that result is also seen in the per capita comparisons.

If Trump is to be held to perfect 20/20 hindsight by his critics, then that hindsight should be applied in a relative manner regarding the performance of the Western European country core.

As with every major issue that has confronted the nation over 3+ years, the never-ending obsession and hatred of Trump, by both Democrat and press elites, has completely derailed any chance of a rational and constructive collaboration on COVID-19 solutions.

Americans are suffering terribly at this time. History will show that the Democrats and the MSM truly have become enemies to the public interest and well being. Enemies to the point of taking the side of the lone perpetrator of the world's coronavirus outbreak, against the U.S.

Self-Inflicted Harm By Coronavirus Stupidity: From Computer Models To The Idiocracy of "Elites"

(click on to enlarge)

As this blog has pointed out multiple times, over the last 10+ years, computer simulation models are essentially worthless for policymaker decision making.

Mountains of evidence exist that models can't predict squat, which is a simple concept that seems not to be grasped by way too many policymakers and about 100% of the MSM press.

Model prediction failure is true, whether the issue is climate change or the COVID-19 pandemic or other policy issue.

Why then are computer simulation models used?

Their effectiveness lies not in prediction success but rather as convincing propaganda by scientists and media in order to induce fear and irrational hysteria.

And there is no doubt the past four weeks of the 'CoronaHysteria' has established, yet again, that computer models are proven to be terrible tools for predictions but great for propaganda purposes.

Adding to the misery of bad modeling output is the successful promulgation of the propaganda by the country's self-anointed elites, thus insuring stressful mayhem for the public coupled with vast unintended consequences.

Such as closing down an entire nation's economy that produces massive, record setting unemployment numbers and psychological wreckage in just a few short weeks.

And unfortunately, the elites' blind faith in "consensus" expertise leads to all sorts of proclamations and statements that are, more often than not, proven to be wrong, divisive, and exceptionally stupid to say in a group larger than two, let alone on a widely disseminated public forum that cable news provides.

One recent example of this level of elite stupidity is the following nugget of wisdom that MSNBC "journalist," Andrea Mitchell, seems to be pushing:

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell and the Washington Post's Philip Rucker decided on Monday to place the blame for the current pandemic on President Trump and conservative red states "...that there were a number of people in red states early on who didn't heed the warnings to socially distance because they believed the President's false comments."

Study: The Surprising Decline of Severe Weather Hail Events During Period of Modern Global Warming

(click on to enlarge)

It is a sacrosanct belief of end-of-world cultists that the global warming since the onset of the large growth in consumer/industrial CO2 emissions would bring in its wake devastating and extreme severe-weather events.

But that has not been the case as a new peer-reviewed study discovered.

Researchers investigated the frequency of severe thunderstorms and hail events to determine if the significant regional warming across the Tibetan Plateau (TP) area had generated more such events.

From a review of the study...."despite considerable warming over the period 1960-2012, Zou et al. determined that there has been a statistically significant decline of 3.1 storms days per decade across the TP. Hail days, on the other hand, showed a slight increasing trend of 5.8% per decade from 1955-1980, but thereafter declined by a much larger 18.3% per decade over the period 1980-2012.....Consequently, they conclude that their results "imply that global warming is likely to cause a decrease in the conditions required for severe thunderstorm and hail formation in the TP over the next century.""

For those who keep abreast of climate empirical science, this is not a one-off study. The scientific literature overflows with studies refuting the doomer-alarmist predictions that an increased frequency and intensity of severe climate change weather events would develop - after 30+ years, it has simply not happened.

While this list is not comprehensive in any way, shape or form, it is indicative of the existing severe weather research available that refutes the spurious claims.

The Climate Emergency 'Tipping Point': Does The Empirical Science Verify or Reject The Doomsday Fears?

(click on to enlarge)

Fortunately for those who believe in empirical science, the facts are indisputable. The earth is not at risk of rapid global warming that would set off a soon-to-be 'climate emergency or 'climate crisis' tipping point.

We live in an era where cult-like beliefs have caused a great number of people to accept what resembles a prophecy about the world ending within 12 years, from a global warming 'tipping point' for the climate.

This fear-mongering myth takes the form that humanity is causing - due to fossil fuel emissions - a rapid acceleration of global temperatures that will wreak havoc and destruction as the tipping point is reached.

But is there actual empirical evidence that this doomer prophecy is playing out with a soon-to-be ending to civilization?

The included chart is a plot of the IPCC's gold-standard empirical global temperature data representing how fast/slow global temperatures are moving - it's a climate warming speedometer, so to speak.

The Debunking Never Ends: "Expert" Computer Climate Models Fail In Arctic, Study Finds

(click on to enlarge)

In the real world, climate model simulations have been self-debunking over recent decades due to the constant prediction failures.

And the latest embarrassing example of model prediction failure is very relevant to the doomsday Arctic meltdown myth that the anti-science 'climate emergency' cult pushes.

A new peer-reviewed study by a group of researchers set out to determine the accuracy of top-tier climate model predictions of Arctic warming rates versus the actual Arctic warming rate. Their research involved the output of the same 36 climate models used for the UN's IPCC work.

This chart is a snapshot of their work, which visually portrays the computer climate model simulations over a 138-year period, from 1880 to 2017, and how they consistently overestimate how fast the Arctic is warming since around 1950.

Per the study's findings: "...the model-estimated rate of secular warming (the solid red line) increased quite sharply across the 138-year period, rising from a value of around 0 °C per decade at the beginning of the record to a value of 0.35 °C per decade at the end. Observations, in contrast, started off with a higher warming rate than that of the models (a rate of 0.13 °C per decade; the solid black line), but dipped below the rate of warming predicted by the models around the middle of the record, thereafter experiencing a lower rate of warming relative to the models through the end of the record. By the end of the record, the model-predicted secular rate of warming was 67% higher than that determined from observations (0.21 °C). Thus, the figure shows an increasing disparity between modelled and observed warming rates that starts around the middle of the record and grows to 0.14 °C per decade by the mid-2010s."

"Huang et al. state the obvious, that "anthropogenically induced secular warming has been overestimated by the CMIP5 GCMs during the most recent warming period, and the overestimation is aggravated with time." What is more, given the error bars shown on the figure, in the very near future the observed warming rate will likely soon fall outside the significance levels of the ensemble model mean, removing any remaining credibility left in the model projections of future Arctic warming."

Based on the well documented abundance of failures of even the most sophisticated climate models, it should now be considered criminal malfeasance or malpractice that any politician or bureaucrat utilizes said models for setting policies. While doomsday climate-crisis cultists propagandize using the untenable and unreliable model projections, those that represent the public should be employing more sober analysis and commonsense for policy development and implementation, if any.

A terse synopsis: Climate models can't predict squat.

For One of Life's Little Amazon Frustrations - Order Package Not Delivered

The virtue-signaling corporate juggernaut that is Amazon sometimes acts in a very anti-consumer manner.

For example, trying to request that a missing Amazon order package be re-shipped since it was never delivered, contrary to what Amazon reports, is made rather difficult by the giant online retailer. Especially since they no longer provide a url link on their web site to address the non-delivery issue when Amazon reports the package as being delivered.

Instead, try the below method to get that replacement package sent, per this web page.

What to Do When Your Amazon Order Shows as Delivered but is Actually Missing

UPDATE AS OF NOVEMBER 2019! As of November 2019 here is what you have to do if your order shows as delivered but never arrived: Call Amazon at 888-280-4331 You will be asked to let Amazon verify your account by having Amazon text the number they have associated with your account (while you are on the phone) and once you have verified it, the automated system will guide you through some options, one of which is “about an order”, followed by “are you calling about an item?” Answer ‘yes’ to this, and then the system asks you about the item, and gives you the option to say that it never arrived. At this point the system will offer you a refund or a replacement.

You can also try using the Amazon Customer Service Chatbot if you prefer not to use the phone, although we have not tested it recently.

Another Doomsday Myth Busted: Sea Coral Not Harmed By Warming & Acidification, Per New Study

The doomsday climate change alarmists keep having their science-denying chops busted and it has happened again.

A new study on the climate change impact on sea coral habitat is very inconvenient for the cult of anti-empirical science deniers.

For way too long, these deniers have completely ignored the actual science being conducted to determine if the combination of global warming and seawater 'acidification' from fossil fuel emissions would lead to the harm and devastation of sea coral.

The new study again confirms what the science deniers simply do not want to hear. Red Sea corals are robust enough to adapt to changing climate conditions in their environment.

From the review of the new peer-reviewed study by Bellworthy, J., Menoud, M., Krueger, T., Meibim, A. and Fine, M. 2019.

"In a recent study on the combined effects of so-called ocean acidification and warming on corals, Bellworthy et al. (2019) exposed mature colonies of the [Red Sea] reef-building coral Stylophora pistillata to extreme seawater conditions of pH 0.4 units lower and temperatures 5°C warmer than they are today....."Notably, they add that under the experimental conditions "S. pistillata planulae were resistant in terms of their settlement, physiology and survival, even when parents were exposed to severe ocean acidification and warming during the gamete maturation, fertilization and brooding period"....."And because that resistance was evident to even the most extreme predictions of future ocean acidification and warming (Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5), it would appear a solid bet that these corals will be around for centuries to come."

The Simple & Sad Truth About Computer Climate Models: They Can't Predict Squat

This NASA climate model chart certainly confirms why expert computer climate simulations are held in such contempt and ridiculed; and also why they should not be utilized for policy work performed by politicians and bureaucrats.

The failure of climate models at what they were originally intended to accomplish has forced the major climate research agencies into a constant state of both "upgrading" their wildly expensive climate models and "correcting" past actual temperature measurements.

This particular model was instrumental in starting the egregious and shrill propaganda war against economic growth and prosperity way back in 1988. It's creation has led to the point where today teenage doomsday cult personalities are provided top-level platforms to fear-rant - by those who should know better - to rail against the bountiful wonders of modern civilization.

This NASA model has had a long history being wrong, and when correct at specific periods, it's due more to blind luck of the natural temporary El Niño global warming phenomenon, which is not sustainable over lengthy time spans.

The model chart presents three simulated global temperature scenarios that portray the end result of growing greenhouse gas emissions, with the focus on fossil fuel CO2 emissions. The scenarios developed by NASA include:

Scenario 'A': The business-as-usual (BAU) scenario that represented total emissions growing without any constraints.

Scenario 'B': Representing the reduction of total emissions by moderate amounts.

Scenario 'C': Representing a scenario that had global emissions being maintained in the future at year 2000 levels.

As the observed NASA and HadCRUT global temperature plots on the chart reveal, the observed temperatures are not anywhere close to NASA's BAU scenario 'A'. Yet, as can be seen below, it's continued to be business-as-usual for a very long time, at least since the 1988 introduction of this model to the public.

 

Sources: 2019 BP Energy Statistical Review & NOAA CO2 ppm levels

This December 2019 article lays out the essentials of past greenhouse gas growth and the continuing growth of CO2, which shows no signs of a permanent global curtailment.

In summary, this NASA/GISS model was never an effective tool for climate change prediction, let alone establishing a realistic national or global policymaker climate strategy. And over the decades since 1988, all the later generations of climate models have been no better as they also way over estimate the warming impact of greenhouse emissions.

30+ Years After Claiming That CO2 Was The 'Control Knob' For Planetary Temperatures It's Still M.I.A.

Over the last three decades, advocates of climate change alarmism have claimed that the trace greenhouse gas CO2 is the rapid global warming control knob that humans can use to tweak the world's climate, thus allowing for a deceleration of the supposed "harmful" warming.

But after some 30+ years, the empirical evidence for that claim still remains missing in action (M.I.A.).

The adjacent chart of lower atmosphere temperature trend plots and atmospheric CO2's constant growth completely refutes the concept that warming rates (acceleration/deceleration) can be controlled by a magical bureaucrat's CO2 knob.

As it is blindingly obvious, atmospheric temperatures rates are constantly changing, going from a state of acceleration, to a deceleration state, and then back to acceleration, without any regard to CO2 levels.

Without any regard to CO2 levels?

The pale yellow boxes near the bottom of the chart the relationship between atmospheric CO2 levels and the various plotted per century temperature trends. Those correlations barely climb out of the basement, with two even exhibiting a negative correlation.

The hypothesis that CO2 is currently a strong influencer on the world's warming is essentially factless.

Clearly, whether it's a reduction in human emissions or using technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, there will be no changing the natural planetary phenomenon of the constant change in temperature warming and cooling rates.

Simply stated, there is no 'control knob' for humans to utilize to slow or speed up global warming.

Once the public comes to realize the fake CO2 doomsday science being pushed by the establishment does not offer a solution, the sooner we can move to adaption strategies for coping with any negative outcomes from a warmer world (and also take advantage of the massive benefits from global warming).

Note: Excel was used to average the monthly global temperatures from the UAH and RSS satellite datasets; Excel was used to calculate the per century trends in the plots; Excel was used to plot the atmospheric CO2 levels from this dataset; Excel used to chart all data and to calculate the moving per century slope trends.

Climate Emergency Due To Global Warming Doomsday? Not So Fast, Greta

(click to enlarge)

As numerous 'C3' articles on past warming has pointed out, our modern global warming is not so "unprecedented" as the scientifically illiterate alarmist doomers claim - here's looking at you, Greta Thunberg, know-nothing Hollywood celebrities, and mainstream mocking bird "journalists."

As this chart indicates, in the very distant past, temperatures were indeed at times warmer or match what we are currently experiencing.

Per the peer-reviewed study, across a span of 2,500 years researchers were able to reconstruct the bottom waters of a fjord.

The findings:

"Asteman et al. first note that "the reconstructed temperature range (2.7-7.8 °C) is within the present-day annual variability, documented from instrumental temperature measurements in the fjord's deepest basin since 1890." Next, they point out that "the Gulmar Fjord winter bottom water temperature record shows both centennial and multidecadal variability and has a striking resemblance to climate periods historically known in northern Europe over the last 2500 years." Those periods include the Roman Warm Period (RWP), Dark Ages Cold Period (DACP), Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Little Ice Age (LIA) and Current Warm Period (CWP).

According to Asteman et al., temperatures during the RWP (prior to ~ AD 450) were approximately 2.5 °C higher than the 1961-1999 mean, encompassing a temperature range of 5.4-7.9 °C. During the DACP (~ AD 450-850), temperatures were more variable but stayed in the range of 4-8 °C. The MWP, which the authors say occurred around AD 850-1350, coincided with a grand solar maximum with water temperatures ranging between 5.4 and 7.6 °C. Thereafter, temperatures cooled once again during the LIA, with bottom water temperature averaging 2-3 °C lower than the instrumental 1961-1999 temperature mean and hovering between a range of 2.9 to 6.6 °C.Finally, at the end of the record, temperatures warmed up again. However, Asteman et al. report that the contemporary warming of the 20th century "does not stand out in the 2500-year perspective and is of the same magnitude as the Roman Warm Period and the Medieval Climate Anomaly."

Of course, all that past warming was due to normal climatic oscillations and fluctuations within various cycles. This past warming had nothing to do with CO2 and other emitted greenhouse gases.

And just as occurred in the past, it is highly likely that a major portion of the warming since the Little Ice Age is also natural.

Debunking The CO2 Climate Doomsday Scenario With Empirical Evidence

(click to enlarge)

Empirical evidence is the bane of all climate change 'doomers' since it contradicts what they've been told as being true.

In a nutshell, the doomer contention is that a civilization doomsday will happen within the next 12 years because of climate change.

The principal foundation of their alarmist catastrophic scenarios is the never tested, never proven hypothesis that human CO2 emissions will cause incredible, tipping point global warming, thus leaving planet Earth uninhabitable.

However, fortunately for the world and its inhabitants, there is absolutely zero empirical evidence supporting the claimed soon-to-be "doomsday" from growing CO2 emissions.

The adjacent chart plots 3 evidence lines of significant importance. 

The black line with white dots is a plot of total CO2 emissions for the prior 12 years. The very first white dot represents total 12-year emissions ending in 1958. The next white dot represents the cumulative emissions for the 12 years ending 1959, and so on. The last dot represents total emissions for the 12 years ending 2018.

The gray dotted line with the black squares is the plot of atmospheric CO2 changes over 12 months. For example, the first black square on the left represents the total change in atmospheric CO2 levels from November 30, 1958 through November 1959. Each progressive black square represents the 12-month change for the given period ending in November until the last square is reached for the 12-month period ending November 2019.

And the pale orange line with red circles is the plot of HadCrut global temperature changes over the preceding 12 months, all periods (red circles) ending in November.

Doomsday: Climate Change Disruption & Emergency Predictions - Unmitigated Total Failures Documented

Over the last 11 years, 'C3' has written multiple posts regarding the never-ending stream of failed climate predictions.

And we are especially fond of sharing with readers the debunking of doomsday-type predictions that fail miserably due to their being non-reality based.

Four of the more recent videos debunking "doomsday" and "existential threat" predictions can be seen below.

The people embracing the doomsday nonsense are often those gullible enough to elevate their 'green' feelings to a religion status that requires exhibiting their devotion in a pagan-like manner, as the video below on the left indicates.

The most vulnerable to the false prophets of green disaster cultism are the many young persons who do not yet possess the critical thinking faculties to see through the doomsday sham. But one father offers a likely very effective technique to deprogram a teenage child involved in this mentally abusive cult (see the video below on the right).

CO2's Continental Impact On Extreme Temperatures Over Last Decade

(click on image to enlarge)

Amazingly, the impact has been zilch on each continent's and hemisphere's hottest and coldest temperature extremes.

Based on the doomsday hysteria, one would expect every continent to be reaching an unprecedented, new extreme hot temperature record every single year.

But alas, per the empirical records through the end of 2019, there has been no individual continental 'hottest' temperature record surpassed since 1982 - maybe matched since then, but not surpassed.

Way back in 1982, the continent of Antarctica set a new hottest record temperature of +67.2°F.

And the world's 1913 single hottest temperature ever of 134.0°F has yet to be broken or even matched.

As far as the 'coldest' temperature record, the last time a new record was set took place during 1983, again on the continent of Antarctica. That 1983 coldest low reached a -128.6°F.

So, after another decade of hysterical screaming by doomsday alarmists about "unprecedented" warming, the experts confirm - using empirical evidence - that the world is not "burning up" due to the hundreds of billions of tonnes of 'evil' fossil fuel CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere. Nor has all that CO2 caused even lower extremes of cold temperatures.

It's another case of those stubborn facts debunking the very fake narrative of a climate change doomsday existential threat.

Note: Global temperature extremes by geological continent can be located here and here. (The WMO lists both Israel and Greenland as part of Europe, which is purely a political decision, not based on the actual geology of continents. Geologically, Greenland is part of the North American continent and Israel sits on the western portion of the Asian continent.)

'Greens' Fake Climate-Porn Disasters: Last Refuge For Lying Democrats & The Government Bureaucrats?

Recent days have again provided ample evidence of government officials and politicians lying to the public, whether it be the released 'Afghan Papers'; the deranged Democrats' fact-less, no-crime Trump impeachment fraud; or another failed climate-porn UN Climate Conference that just concluded in Madrid. 

The incessant lying by the establishment elites and their bureaucrat cronies has not been without massive blowback by the voting public, though.

Last week's absolute massive and stunning UK conservative landslide electoral vote over the elitist left and socialists was a direct refutation of the policies of the wealthy and powerful overlords that the masses are objecting to.

But no matter the how many times the establishment elites hugely lose in elections across the world, today's Democrats seem unable to learn one of the lessons why the public keeps spanking them: STOP LYING!

This video simply demonstrates that Democrats running for 2020 election are still going to lie to the public by using climate-porn fearmongering. They are peddling fake future disasters in order to fool the public.

Democrats continue to use this tactic to not only enrich their wealthy white privileged donors who invest in green energy scams; but to justify progressives' demand for greater taxes for spending programs; to make energy more costly for the lower and middle class; and to enable greater government bureaucrat control over the populace with more regulations. 

All the terrible policies that voters do not want - and Democrats won't talk about - are masked by this anti-scientific climate doomsday propaganda that they glibly spread.

'Greta & The Doomers': 2019 UN's Climate "Emergency" Conclave Reminded About Hurricane Reality

'Greta and her UN climate change alarmist friends are currently attending the UN's Madrid Climate conference, which seems to be experiencing some unplanned difficulties.

As in past years, this conclave's purpose is to frighten mainstream journalists with stories of pending doom caused by fossil fuel CO2 emissions. Of course, they always state that doom is 'just around the corner.' 

After decades of these disaster prognostications never coming true, one would think journalists would finally learn that they are being played.

Not yet it would appear (one is always reminded of the maxim that journalists are not the sharpest blades in the drawer).

Recently we had another example of the failed doomerism religion, and it comes with the end of the 2019 hurricane season, which the UN, Greta, and journalists do not want the public to be aware of.

As this article lays out, the doomer-cult scary predictions of increased frequency and increased intensity of hurricanes simply has not happened. And the adjacent charts reveal the indisputable empirical evidence, much to the angst of Greta and friends.

The Fake News About Rapid Global Warming In The U.S.

And the 12-month period ending November 2019 is actually below (-0.06°F) the very first 12-month period ending November 2006 (+1.03°F).

Conclusion: "Global" warming appears to be on hiatus in the U.S., again.

Every week CNN and MSNBC vie for being the most lunatic "journalism" outlet that way too many people watch.

Based on how these two cable outlets report their latest conspiracies the news, it is no wonder that left/liberal/progressive Democrats are so wildly ignorant or misinformed.

If the government were ever to shut down either one of these garbage dumps of misinformation, it would have a very positive impact on the American public - a whole a lot better than the internet shutdown of Alex Jones' InfoWars.

Let's be frank, the scary levels of their viewership's intolerance, rage, incivility, hate, and violence that CNN and MSNBC purposefully produce in their respective audiences is a societal cancer that has metastasized over the first three years of the Trump administration. 

Then again, maybe their respective audiences are already suffering from intolerance, rage, incivility, hate, and violence - who's to say for sure.

Although the 1st amendment protects the freaking awfulness of the CNN/MSNBC duo, the free market of viewers is having their own say - thank goodness. (images source)

It's Not Just NASA & NOAA Climate Science: FBI Misleads The Public & Courts By Omitting Key Evidence and/or Embellishing Fake Information

Government funded science (and climate change science) is awash in falsehoods that are constantly being propagandized to the detriment of the public. There is even a weekly publication that exposes the latest fake science that has mislead and misinformed.

Unfortunately, this growing fakery is being found across just about every governmental institution. The result has severely damaged the credibility and trustworthiness of all, whether implicated or not.

The latest example is the expose of the cornucopia of FBI's actions/errors that mislead the all-important FISA court, as documented by the DOJ IG Horowitz.

Below, WSJ journalist Kimberley Strassel lays out the damning information in an epic Twitter thread regarding the FBI's 'Russia, Russia, Russia' investigative corruption.

The source for all these tweets can be found here.

At this point in time, why anyone would trust any of the mainstream establishment institutions beggars belief.

As skeptics have exposed in the climate science arena, institutional claims cannot be trusted, which necessitates their being checked at least in a triple fashion, if not more.

And as anti-Trump debacle is proving, our skepticism should extend to all claiming authority and/or moral superiority. Lesson learned: they're all incessant, remorseless liars.

Note: The DOJ was unable to establish the FBI motive for significantly misleading the FISA court, yet. There was no smoking gun email, text message or voice recording that the IG discovered in the course of his investigation. On the overhand, the DOJ's Durham investigation of potential criminal activities will likely be better positioned to find such motivation since Durham has both subpoena and grand jury powers that the IG lacked.

Doomers Debunked: Evidence Grows That Global Warming Is Not So "Global"

Climate doomers claim that the entire globe is being roasted by the ever increasing blanket of human CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.

Yet there are large regions and areas of the world that somehow have escaped this warming oven deathtrap, and are even doing the contrary, cooling.

This is happening despite the CAGW hypothesis determinations that the mainstream press, Hollywood celebrities and left-of-center politicians fully hype without any regard to climate reality and empirical evidence.

In fact, the latest empirical evidence indicates that multiple nations in the northern hemisphere - the supposed regional canary in the CAGW mine - have not warmed over the last 20+ years. 

The adjacent chart reveals that only 2 of 6 climate stations in Finland have experienced warming during the month of October since 1994. If CO2 induced global warming is indeed as powerful and all encompassing as doomers claim, then the near-Arctic climate reality of Finland is impossible.

And unfortunately for the climate change alarmists, Finland is no exception. This article plots a total of 3 other higher latitude nations in the northern hemisphere that reveal the same climate reality: more cooling than warming.

2019: Was It An Unprecedented Doomsday Summer In Europe?

No, it was not. And another alarmist doomsday claim bites the dust.

As with everything in climate change, nothing is unprecedented. The warm and dry Europe summers over the last two years are no exception.

Per this article, scientists examined evidence using dendroclimatology techniques and concluded that the Medieval Warming Period produced similar high temperatures and droughts in northern Germany some 1,000 years ago. And the result was most definitely not a climate doomsday event

As it happens, the High Middle Ages took place 1,000 years ago during this time of a milder and warmer climate. The better climate was key to producing a more robust civilization with impressive population gains, coupled with greater agriculture opportunity and capabilities that helped stimulate economic markets and trade. 

Of course, nothing lasts forever in nature, and as the climate made its move into the cooling period known as the Little Ice Age, the great societal gains of the Climate Optimum either stagnated or were vastly decreased across a wide swath of Europe.

These same scientists also investigated the doomsday claim that Germany's wonderful forests would be devastated by today's warming and drier conditions.

Their findings contradicted the alarmist claims.

"The authors prove once again that our forests are growing much faster today than in the past, because agriculture (also traffic & industry) provides them with a lot of fixed nitrogen (ammonium salts). The modestly increased CO2 content of today’s air also allows the trees to open the stomata of the leaves for a shorter period of time, thus limiting water losses. In other words, our industrial civilization is considerably HELPING the forest by supplying it with building materials and even water indirectly."

This Is Your Brain On CO2: Study Reveals Impact of Higher CO2 Levels On Mental Function Is Nada

Does a high level of CO₂ harm or decrease your mental performance? Nope.

A 2019 study by researchers conclude that the brain's critical levels of cognition and decision making are not impaired when the human body is subjected to much higher levels of CO2 than found in Earth's atmosphere.

  "It is well-established that rising levels of atmospheric CO2 pose no direct threat to human health...the ten U.S. researchers tested the mental acuity of 22 "astronaut-like" male and female subjects to four different CO2 concentrations (600, 1200, 2500 and 5000 ppm), subjecting them to standardized decision making and cognition tests...According to the authors, "there were no clear dose-response patterns for performance on either [the] Strategic Management Simulation or Cognition" evaluations...Consequently, when considering the full range of CO2 values examined, they conclude that "performance across tests did not differ between baseline (600 ppm) and the higher concentrations.""

11/10/19 - 11/16/19: The Past Week In News You Would like To Forget

Nothing like being forced to frequently look at Greta Thurnberg on a daily basis, especially in feces-laden San Francisco. Count yourself lucky if you call home somewhere else. (images source)

Fortunately, Greta finally departed for new ports of lecture and hectoring - but not everything has improved in the U.S.

This past week's headlines continue to confirm that Democrats, liberals, or progressives are not right in the head. Their intimidation, deception, lies, intolerance, hate, and general incivility continued unabated.

Alas, no rest for the weary that represents the sane majority of decent American citizens.

Paging Pierre Delecto: Climate Change Doomsday For Pacific Islands Called Off

Timing is everything in the political world, and especially when you are already a failed U.S. Senator with an approval rating of 18%. What does one do in such circumstances?

Of course, if one finds himself in such an unenviable position, one forms a stop climate change doomsday 'Mod Squad' in the U.S. Senate that is fashioned to curry the favor of 'The Squad' socialist crazies -i.e. AOC and others.

Surprise! That's just what the infamous GOP's Mitt 'Pierre Delecto' Romney has done.

Unfortunately for Romney, real scientists keep releasing more scientific research and empirical evidence that refutes the climate change doomsday scenarios that Pierre and his 'tax & spend' senatorial comrades believe in.

Case in point is the recent debunking of the alarmist propaganda disaster scenario where Pacific islands will be submerged by rising sea.

Here is a review of multiple peer-reviewed island studies that provide the doomsday shredding analyses. 

This is not a one-off. The scientific literature is filled with studies debunking all the doomsday scenarios; and the new research keeps growing in this realm, much to the chagrin and bad timing of many a political has-been.

p.s. If you're thinking of giving money to the GOP's senate campaign organization, don't. Give to individual candidates but not to an organization that condones the likes of Pierre Delecto.

What Do 11,000 Scientists Have To Say About Fake News?

Well, probably not a lot, since these 11,000+ "scientists" signed onto a fake science editorial. It was essentially a press release letter-to-the-editor type of article that could have been written by any climate doomsday acolyte, such as Al Gore or Greta Thurnberg.

The MSM presented the press release as a "study" but there was no peer-reviewed science or empirical evidence presented in the journal.

And the signatories of this letter simply went to a web site and seemingly just had to click a button to register their approval of the letter. No vetting of the signatories whatsoever.

Rebel News TV has a great video describing the non-scientific article and the Canadian mainstream media reaction to it. During the analysis, the Rebel TV commentator starts a 13-minute review of some of the 400 Canadian scientists who put their signature on the dotted line for all to see.

Do ya think these Canadian "scientists" possess a portfolio of sophisticated research and expertise in climate science? Watch and see for yourself.

Kinda cool that an occupational-therapist can "sign" a press release and immediately become a scientist.

Fake news and science in one jumbo package that the mainstream press heartily swallowed and gleefully regurgitated.
