Climate change deniers silent.

From Phoenix to Sacramento, the West is sweating through worst heat wave in decades

“Heat of this magnitude is rare, dangerous and very possibly deadly,” the Weather Service in Phoenix warned on Monday.

Does this heat wave prove global warming? No. It's a weather event, not climate. However, it's important to recognize that climate change deniers will always cherry pick weather events that support their lies while ignoring weather events that do not.

No specific weather event demonstrates climate, but climate change is causing such heat waves and other severe weather events to become more common and more extreme.

This heat wave is horrific. It occurs at a time of year when global warming advocates can't blame it on anything.

“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.”

In America, neither major party has provided any useful answer to the question that matters: how to manage the climate.

"Seventy-four percent of the world's population will be exposed to deadly heatwaves by 2100 if carbon gas emissions continue to rise at current rates, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change. Even if emissions are aggressively reduced, the percent of the world's human population affected is expected to reach 48 percent."

Democrats propose spending vast fortunes on corrupt patronage networks, basically expanding and exploiting the issue rather than addressing it. Their proposals would transfer enormous wealth away from advanced countries that could actually develop climate management systems, empowering instead backwards religious kleptocracies and kickback schemes.

Republicans tend to deny climate change, so the argument tends to stay there.

Even among many independents, e.g. the green party, the issue seems tinged with anti-capitalism, white guilt, patriarchy-bashing, and original sin. Geo-engineering is derided as further man-made interference with mother nature.

"Everybody Talks About the Weather, But Nobody Does Anything About It."

I don't see the point of obsessing over future climate without proposing any realistic way of managing it.

Good time to buy land in northern Alaska and Canada.

No one is advocating global warming. We are advocating to stop polluting the Earth because pollution causes many problems including various changes in the climate.

The human race will be extinct from climate change before it changes enough to make Alaska feel even like New York City, nonetheless Hawaii.
