August and September are great months to be a professional climate alarmist like Dr. Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania.
You have hurricanes making landfall, wildfires seemingly everywhere, the odd F-4 tornado wreaking devastation, and you can pretend that these never happened before we started adding CO2 to the atmosphere. Plus, you have virtually all the media and a host of “environmental” groups parroting every seemingly scientific observation without question.
Yes, alarmists find it best to use their time during the hazy, hot days of summer linking every possible weather event to our use of fossil fuels and that demon molecule, CO2. They must do this in order to instill the fear required to impose economically crippling new taxes or restrict citizens’ freedom to choose what car, dishwasher, stove, shower head or washing machine to purchase.
Right now, with wildfires in Canada and Greece and the tragic fire in Lahaina, Maui, the focus is on linking supposed man-made warming to these events and characterizing them as unprecedented. Are they really extraordinary and increasing?
NASA reports that between 2003 and 2019, the global area burned has dropped by roughly 25 percent. In addition, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service reports that, according to their satellite data, the year 2020 was one of the least active years since records begin in 2003.
Heat waves in Texas and Italy are also trumpeted as global and escalating due to increasing carbon emissions. Conveniently omitted are exceedingly cold temperatures in northern Europe and the northwest of the United States. The USHCN temperature data reveal that the number of days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8°Celsius) peaked in the 1930s and have been in an 80-year decline.
We don’t need panic alarmism or climate skepticism or attacks on our existing energy providers …. We need a realistic Climate Change Policy.
We have always had climate change and we continue to be a small bit-player in this change.
And its NOT an emergency, and ALL the action should be on local adaption NOT global mitigation such as NetZero.
The two reasons for this approach: -
1/ Science still very unclear that CO2 is a significant accelerator to global temperature increase with significant science studies leaning toward a view that we do not have a climate emergency.
2/ Building any human prosperity without CO2 generation is unthinkable and impractical for many decades to come. The use of fossil fuels is not an option for many nations for decades to come, and its use will continue to increase across the globe.
To the energy corps law suite's are factored into their bottom line. We pay double. Higher prices and higher CO2 levels. The current system is heavily weighed in their favor. As is the current judicial system.
