The first sign of Global Warming

The first sign of Global Warming is higher temperatures at the North and South poles. Without warming at the North and South Poles, There is no Global Warming.

Right now the Arctic and Antarctic are freezing and therefore Global Warming is Fake News. At the Arctic, the Northwest Passage is frozen solid and Antarctica is cooling for the last 60 plus years. And right now, 2023, Antarctica is experiencing record low temperatures.

Therefore, given that the polar regions are cooling then some high temperature here and there is just weather.

Finally, remember that increased worldwide atmospheric water vapor caused by the historic Hunga Tonga eruption is expected to raise Earth’s temperatures by at least 1.5 degrees all by itself. Which just shows you how little they really understand about the world’s climate.

They lie about everything, they are likely lying about this.

What Heatwave? Latest Data Show July Temperature in U.S. was Normal

That major underwater eruption last year in the region around Tonga has put and additional 10% of water vapor into the atmosphere. It's raining every week in the Northeast, and temps are the lowest overall for the past several years at this time of year.

'Natch the "news" doesn't report this. All I know is that the air is muggy as hell - that's the excess water vapor.

Lots of rain in the mid-Atlantic as well. I usually have a brown lawn in August, but it is now nice and green.

How can these be reconciled? Maybe since the second report is for the world, and the first is just for the US?

Coral at the Great Barrier Reef Holds on to Recent Record Gains, Defying All Doomsday Predictions

https://nypost.com/2023/08/09/climate-scientist-admits-the-overwhelming-consensus-is-manufactured/

We are told climate change is a crisis, and that there is an “overwhelming scientific consensus.”

“It’s a manufactured consensus,” climate scientist Judith Curry tells me.

She says scientists have an incentive to exaggerate risk to pursue “fame and fortune.”

She knows about that because she once spread alarm about climate change.

The media loved her when she published a study that seemed to show a dramatic increase in hurricane intensity. ...

“I was adopted by the environmental advocacy groups and the alarmists and I was treated like a rock star,” Curry recounts.

“Flown all over the place to meet with politicians.” ...

But then some researchers pointed out gaps in her research — years with low levels of hurricanes.

“Like a good scientist, I investigated,” says Curry.

She realized that the critics were right.

“Part of it was bad data. Part of it is natural climate variability.”

Curry was the unusual researcher who looked at criticism of her work and actually concluded: “They had a point.”

Then the Climategate scandal taught her that other climate researchers weren’t so open-minded.

Alarmist scientists’ aggressive attempts to hide data suggesting climate change is not a crisis were revealed in leaked emails.

“Ugly things,” says Curry.

“Avoiding Freedom of Information Act requests. Trying to get journal editors fired.”

It made Curry realize that there is a “climate-change industry” set up to reward alarmism.

“The origins go back to the . . . UN environmental program,” says Curry.

Some United Nations officials were motivated by “anti-capitalism. They hated the oil companies and seized on the climate change issue to move their policies along.”

"We are told climate change is a crisis, and that there is an "overwhelming scientific consensus."
"It’s a manufactured consensus," climate scientist Judith Curry tells me."

That is exactly what it is!

They censor all opposing data and studies and call the Global Warming fraud " an overwhelming scientific consensus."

Yep, and I used to be a believer, up until 2005 or so.

None of their predictions have been correct, this indicates either the model is extremely flawed (if this is a science), or there is no model. I spent 15 years trying to find a model for climate prediction. We all have computers today that can EASILY simulate a computer from 20 years ago, no such model exists. You cannot test it.

I don't think there is a model.

🌋 And there it was! In black and white, not a mirage. It must be that the global is actually warming so fast now, corporate media had to shatter its news embargo, now forced against its will to gently break the latest limited hangout to all the folks who depend on corporate media to know what to think. The truth, long dormant, erupted on the Associated Press yesterday in an article headlined, “Scientists look beyond climate change and El Niño for other factors that heat up Earth.”

Wait. There are other factors that heat up Earth? This is mind-blowing. Who knew?

Now don’t get me wrong. They’re not giving up on manmade warming, not at all. AP referred to the baffling, unidentified third cause as “an accomplice,” and reiterated several times that the “consensus” of lab-coated grant-chasers all agree that oil and natural gas are the “main” culprits. A hundred precent. And the international news agency even allowed that El Niño probably accounts for some part of the world’s increasing temperatures this summer.

But that’s when things got interesting:

But some researchers say another factor must be present. “What we are seeing is more than just El Nino on top of climate change,” Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo said.

European climate agency Copernicus reported that July was one-third of a degree Celsius (six-tenths of a degree Fahrenheit) hotter than the old record. That’s a bump in heat in one month that is so recent and so big, especially in the oceans and even more so in the North Atlantic, that scientists are split on whether something else could be at work.

My gosh! I was biting my fingernails down into stumps. They were SO close to getting it. And in fact, right at that point in the story, before they even got to actually naming the volcano, they included a dramatic picture of it, a hint or preview if you will, of things bubbling just below the story’s surface.




... But then, the AP finally vented the theory that actually does make the most sense and has the most data supporting it, such as recently-increased water vapor measurements worldwide. You already know this one, because C&C covered it in my “Overheated” post. It’s Hunga Tonga. In the AP’s words:

In January 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai undersea volcano in the South Pacific blew, sending more than 165 million tons of water, which is a heat-trapping greenhouse gas as vapor … The volcano also blasted 550,000 tons (500,000 metric tons) of sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere. That amount of water "is so absolutely crazy, absolutely ginormous,” said Holger Vomel, a stratospheric water vapor scientist.

The AP finished up quoting some cherry-picked labcoats who disagree and think Hunga Tonga’s historic, record-shattering eruption has nothing whatever to do with anything. Purely coincidental. They suggested maybe the real cause is sunspots or decreased African sandstorms or something. Don’t you worry your pretty little heads about that big, mean volcano.

But the article proves the word is getting out about the volcano, and corporate media now must do damage control. CNN’s article is a kind of limited hangout, recognizing that the eruption happened while burying the story in a pile of multisyllabic gobbledygook. But the significant thing is the heating of the oceans is inconveniently accelerating so fast that they are struggling to blame it on decreasing human carbon emissions.

To all of you loyal readers who reposted, linked, and forwarded the Overheated post — it’s working!

Dr. John Clauser, Nobel laureate in Physics 2022, recently made a remarkable statement: the climate narrative is a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. My chest opened and filled with fresh relief as I read these words.

Don't you kind of feel sorry for these kids though? They have no clue. They really think the world is about to end unless something is done, and NOW!!!!

Oh, I know that Antifa was intelligence. They are still around, but now if they fuck around, they actually get prosecuted, and our news media ignores them.

I'm telling you, it's not difficult to find a "true believer" in the "climate emergency", especially among kids. You'll have a difficult time finding a kid that DOESN'T believe it. I think the narrative is falling apart though, they have been crying wolf for 35 years after all. It worked on me for about 20 years but all the predictions were wrong. I think it will be faster for these kids - they might be suckered for 10 years, maybe only 5. We have faster communication now, and we have the ability to record and pass around past predictions.

They will be snookered as long as being a climate disciple gives them meaning.

I don't think so. Being a government dupe isn't the fashionable thing to be today, and it never was actually.

When I was a kid, it was PERCEIVED that the government was ignoring "the coming emergency" in favor of corporate greed. Today, it's quite clear that the government is pushing this agenda and it's false. We simply didn't have the communication then as we do today. Even in the 1990's, all you got were the "random whacko" saying that climate change was a plot by the NWO. Well, they're right. All we heard of the NWO was George H. Bush mentioned it one time, and in such a way you couldn't tell if it was a one off, or some sort of nefarious group. Now that I've heard so many fucking politicians talk about it, it's obviously a group.

They are not wrong - trees and lawns do lower summer temps locally.

But trees and lawns cost money in watering and maintenance, which is why they are often eliminated.

https://slaynews.com/news/vivek-ramaswamy-climate-change-hoax/

Republican 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy declared during the first GOP primary debate that “climate change” is a “hoax.”

Ramaswamy triggered a furious response from the Fox News audience and his fellow candidates while making the bold declaration.

During the Fox News debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ramaswamy came out swinging.

The successful American entrepreneur jumped in on a question about “climate change.”

Before others spoke, Ramaswamy said he was the only person on the debate stage that was “not bought and paid for.”

“Let us be honest as Republicans,” Ramaswamy said over the top of the other candidates as he took control of the conversation.

“I’m the only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for, so I can say this,” Ramaswamy said, provoking outrage from his rivals and boos from the audience.

“The climate change agenda is a hoax,” Ramaswamy declared.

“We have to declare independence from it,” he added as the crowd erupted.

“The reality is the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our economy.”

“I’m the only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for, so I can say this,” Ramaswamy said, provoking outrage from his rivals and boos from the audience.

Yeah, Ramaswamy is worth about $1 billion. I think Trump is worth at least $5 billion going by all the estimates on his net worth ranging from Bloomberg to Forbes.

But one thing is that Ramaswamy is gaining popularity and exposure, which is going to help him later even if he loses. I don't see him going away into obscurity.

And he is right about energy and oil policies. Just look at North American and world rig counts on Ycharts.

Chevron's CEO said because of Birdbrain Biden's energy policies, there was less incentive for oil and gas companies to increase exploration and production.

Let alone look at electricity prices such as for Florida Power and Light, which is investing a lot in solar..
