It’s that time of year again! As the summer heat continues, Democrats are feverishly whipping up hysteria about global warming in an effort to induce a national panic attack and frighten us into surrendering more of our freedoms. This means spending more on energy, paying higher taxes, and radically changing our way of life. But it’s not just the fearmongering that energizes certain politicians, they also like to condemn their political enemies for having the astounding power of making it hot outside.
On Twitter, Hillary Clinton managed to put down her glass of chardonnay to furiously blame “MAGA Republicans” for the summer heat. That’s right—it’s not enough to indict Donald Trump on everything from waking up in the morning to the Lindbergh baby kidnapping; now Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife wants to indict Trump’s 75 million supporters for…the weather.
The left-wing media are joining in this effort, disseminating misleading stories about how greenhouse gases — emitted by the combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas — are creating hell on Earth this month with soaring temperatures.
Gotta keep the fear ramped up. So forget about global warming, our betters have decided the new deadly nightmare of “global boiling” has arrived. Not enough fear? They’ll come up with a new, crazier theme. Like with the film “Jaws,” it’s no good to keep the threat regular-sized. The threatening creatures have got to be BIGGER and SCARIER.
Breaking news for global climate alarmists: Summer is always hot, and some Summers are hotter than others. But Democrats and their leftist handlers want us to believe we’re experiencing the hottest summer ever so that they can come to our rescue with their all-purpose solution for every perceived crisis: make Big Government even bigger, fund it with ever-higher taxes, empower it to impose ever-more draconian regulations and force us all to fall in line and follow orders.
Now we’re being told by the same egotistical and bumbling bureaucratic machine that forced onto us COVID measures causing social, cultural, and economic catastrophes that no price is too high to pay to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Yet greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. are already falling dramatically, plummeting by 20 percent from 2005 to 2020, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Fossil fuels account for over 80 percent of global energy consumption. Quickly ending or severely curtailing fossil fuel use would require the government to assume unprecedented control over our lives (which is the point)— telling us what vehicles we can drive, what energy sources we can use to provide heating, cooling, and electricity to our homes and businesses; and limiting our energy consumption so we’d be sweltering when temperatures are high and shivering when temperatures are low. Many of us would also likely experience electricity brownouts and blackouts.
The fearmongering about climate change buttresses the radical Democratic environmental agenda that calls for keeping trillions of dollars worth of America’s abundant, affordable, efficient, and reliable fossil fuel resources forever locked away underground, forcing much of the world to depend on fossil fuel imports from other nations for many years to come.
Instead of creating energy jobs in America and reducing our foreign trade deficit by selling more fossil fuel energy abroad, we are letting Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, and other nations meet global energy needs.
The latest scaremongering headline has the Democrat and the left-wing media loudly and misleadingly proclaiming global temperatures in June and July were the hottest ever and warning that temperatures will continue to rise due to greenhouse gas emissions. But there are several big problems with these claims.
First, there’s some dispute over exactly how to measure the average global temperature. In an op-ed, this month in The Wall Street Journal, Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, presents a convincing case that the average global temperature on July 3 and 4 this year was actually 57.5 degrees Fahrenheit and not the 62.6 degrees estimated by the University of Maine. If true, this means the temperature was not a record high.
Second, in 2021 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration excitedly told us that another summer heat record was broken – by less than a hundredth of a degree—beating the previous hottest summer of all time…in 1936. But now, don’t fret. It really, really, is getting worse and worse, and we must implement President Biden’s policies to save our lives and our economy from the unrelenting summer heat, except for those pesky 85 years between 1936 and 2021.
Third, global temperatures have only been tracked since 1850 — a tiny fraction of the Earth’s history, which goes back more than 4.5 billion years. “Compared to most of Earth’s history, today is unusually cold; we now live in what geologists call an interglacial — a period between glaciations of an ice age,” according to the U.S. government website Climate.gov. For example, some 55 million years ago, the North and South Poles were free of ice caps, and palm trees and crocodiles thrived north of the Arctic Circle.
The most recent period of global cooling, known as the Little Ice Age, lasted from about 1300 to 1850 — the time global temperature recordkeeping began. Scientists believe global temperatures dropped by up to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit during the Little Ice Age. Since then, global temperatures have risen about 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit — still below where they were before the Little Ice Age.
All this shows that the only thing constant about global temperatures is that they have always been changing, with and without human beings being in the picture.
In the meantime, human achievement and invention continue to improve our ability to adapt to nature’s extreme weather events. Today our energy infrastructure and modern inventions such as air-conditioning, heating, and refrigeration save lives all around the world while improving the quality of life for us all.
We should never underestimate the power of new scientific discoveries to change our world for the better and solve problems that now seem insurmountable. This has happened over and over again throughout human history.
What’s most important to understand about the global warming hysteria preached by progressives is that it’s not really about the environment at all. It’s a pretext to give the government greater power to control our lives. As free men and women, we must see their agenda for what it is and refuse to submit to the loss of our liberty.
The drumbeat of the left’s propaganda machine continues to drone on. Pitching the nonsense of man-made climate change to the ignorant masses, that are gullible enough to fall for it. The climate on this planet has been changing throughout the entire 4 billion years the earth has been in existence. Real climate change is measured over several hundred to tens of thousands of years. It is not measured in months or even a few decades or a century.
The sun’s activity and the earth’s rotation around the sun, with periodic changes in the earth’s magnetosphere, is what governs climate change. Basic astrophysics. Of course, the left has no interest in science or hard, verifiable data, so they instead pitch the nonsense that mankind entering the industrial age a couple of hundred years ago has set in motion a catastrophe that can only be corrected by mankind returning to the lifestyle of the mid 1700s. Including a reduction of the earth’s population to 1/4 of what it is today. If you look at what of the hard-core, left-wing environmentalists are proposing, they essentially say as much.
Most of the public can’t distinguish the difference between pollution and so-called climate change, so the Democrats constantly conflate the two as if they are inter-related. Which of course they are not. Their talking point against Republicans and anyone else who object to the forced march back to living in a feudal society is “You must be against clean water and clean air too.” Which just highlights how shallow the left’s understanding of climate science truly is. It is yet another attempt to use an emotional and irrational argument to deflect from the flawed scientific rationale they put forth regarding man-made climate change.
In the end, the left needs to keep the population in a constant state of fear and panic about an impending crisis about to destroy humanity. All so they can continue to push forward their ruinous economic and social policies that serve to extend their power and wealth further. As I’ve said before, this so-called man-made climate change is the biggest and most ambitious financial scheme ever perpetuated on the world. It will devastate hundreds of million lives around the globe, all for the sake of enriching and empowering a select few. Literally hundreds of trillions of dollars are set to be redistributed from the masses into the pockets of a very select few over the next 20 years per all the existing legislation and policies already being carried out.
Well said my friend.
Excellent summary, thanks
Very well said! I can’t think of a thing to add you have done your homework sir
Perfect, and I totally agree!
I agree with you 100%!
You stated what I’ve been saying for years now. What I’d like to get to the bottom of is who are these “distinguished scientists” the Greenies keep citing that have “irrefutable” data showing mankind is mostly responsible for climate change.
Maybe it’s a case of “show us the results we’re looking for” and we’ll fund you ongoingly.
It all hinges back to a minor survey sent out about 25 years ago now. Of the over 2,000 scientists it was sent to, only about 70 to 90 responded back. Of that small percentage of respondents, about 97 percent of those from a couple of specific universities (all that were reliant on government grants to study the effects of global warming (that is what climate change was called at the time) responded as believing in global warming. From there, the left crafted the whole “irrefutable” data campaign that has been endlessly repeated anytime actual climate scientists and astrophysicists point out the numerous holes in the so-called “irrefutable” data. I do still have a copy of the survey and the respondent rates somewhere in my system achieves.
I so agree! It has made money for fellow Tennessean, Al Gore. BTW-I know of no Tennesseans who like him!
Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai Volcano eruption has more to do with this than the human race EVER will. Do a little research on it.
Thank you!!!
Watching the local weather every morning here in Central Texas, something interesting has caught my eye – a big high pressure cell that has persisted for a month, drifting back and forth across Arizona through Texas and back again. There’s been an abundance of 100 degree or higher temperature days during the time with little or no rainfall. The ten day forecast shows every coming day to be above 100 and dry. Where’s our rain? Due to the pressure forcing the jet stream to stay far North, the Northeast is getting more than their share.
The unnatural behavior of this high pressure cell has once again made me wonder about the HAARP program and it’s purpose.
Well if you are a biden governemtn person and you have any weather control you will use it.
By the way. look at the Northrup facility out by promontory Utah. they have a haarp set up there too,.
I live in North Texas, DFW, and I wonder as well. Why has this damn heat dome persisted so long? I am not familiar with HAARP, but I wonder if it could be responsible for the awful heat in Europe too. I am praying that fall will arrive someday soon. I am so sick of this heat!
Mother natures having a cookout and you are the meat I’m afraid
We’re in the middle of Covid again, screaming for something to be done and we do things that have no actual effect on the outcome. We spent billions on masks and vaccines – did they save us or did this thing just run it course? We’re shooting from the hip again. Everyone believes we should stop treating the planet so badly. But are we changing the climate – the weather? Maybe we should stop playing in outer space and focus on our planet. Did you ever stop to think, nothing leaves this planet. Everything we started with is still here; maybe in a different form but it’s still here, nothing leaves. We need to live in moderation, balance the scale not tip it in the opposite direction and create another problem.
Earth has gone through many many climate cycles since it formed. We’ve had ice ages, tropical heat ages, temperate climates, etc. — all very cyclical. No one has yet provided a solid model that shows man is responsible for any climate change, but the current advocates are getting rich fast off their insistence on our fault and fear mongering.
Tell me, why is it that ONLY Americans are to suffer under Climate Change Restrictions? If it’s so real, why is it that the Chinese, Russian, Indian or in fact European peoples AREN’T rushing to address this issue? That makes it BOGUS in my eyes! After all, are Americans the only culprits in committing Climate Change issues? Seems that way! If the rest of the world isn’t, then don’t ask me to!
Western Europe has fully embraced the scheme of climate change for longer than we have here Rik. Over two decades. The countries of western Europe have crippled their energy grids, shutdown reliable power sources and gone with unreliable “green” energy sources for over a decade. Brown-outs and black-outs are an accept norm all year round. Today the price of electricity in western Europe is 300 to 400 percent more than just a decade ago. Those kind of prices will soon be here in the United States as a result of the policies codified into law by the Inflation Reduction Act. Most average Europeans have to make the hard choice ever year whether to heat their homes or eat. Inflation, which has always been a severe problem in western Europe, was only made far worse when the domestic price of energy skyrocketed and rippled through their economies.
As for India, China and Russia their leaders are NOT stupid nor willing to sacrifice their countries and futures in the name of a financial hoax being perpetrated upon the world. They will all gladly supply the so-called “green” products (solar panels, wind turbines, and a whole host of other items that the left has deemed are essential to be “green compliant”. We, as a nation, will run ourselves into the ground in order to satisfy those on the left promoting this scheme.
Solution: Ask any political candidate where they stand on “Green” policy and ESG. Make them swear to reverse such and prohibit any future “woke” crap.
No. Europe is all on-board. The worst so far is the Netherlands, which is killing-off agriculture in a country mostly dependent on agriculture. Starvation and economic ruination to soon follow.
Yet none drive EVs , use solar, etc
Every single prediction made about man made global warming / climate change has bee wrong. the latest one to fail was the one that almost all of the environmentalists/climate scientists/climates experts/Democrats made 5 years ago which claimed the earth woudl be uninhabitable as of march 2023!
this BS about Climate change/man made global warming is beyond stupid. when you are consistently wrong for 70 years you are wrong. it is not a debate it is not an idea. you are wrong. the Climate change/man made global warming people have been wrong for 70 years straight: they are wrong.
Would one of your climate morons care to argue your side of the story after being wrong for 70 years straight? come on tell us why you are right this time.
They will say– “We believe it, so it’s true. And you better believe it to, or else!”
The Sky’s Falling, The Sky’s Falling….
WAKE-UP!! IT’S CALLED WEATHER FOR A REASON!!!
All this hysteria is in preparation for a declared Climate Emergency in order to give the government unlimited powers over us.
I live in the Palm Springs area and we are actually having a mild summer. We haven’t hit 120 degrees even once this summer which is unusual. It’s a little more humid than usual, but it’s keeping the temperature down so we’ll deal with it accordingly. By the way, since Edison company is still trying to update their antiquated system, we’ve already had a blackout. Go figure!
I could not say it any better than the author of this article. Bravo to you, ma’am! Well written and a great, factually correct read. Thank you.
Finally, an explanation of why I am experiencing frizzy hair this summer! It is all due to “GLOBAL BOILING”!!! Frizzy hair is definitely a drawback to living on planet earth now. The term global boiling doesn’t even sound intelligent. Hmmmm! Maybe because it’s not.
strange, when I was growing up in central Texas, I recall temps over 100 degrees for a few days. Can I recall how many, no but it was certainly more than once and no-one said more then “it’s sue a hot one today” about it.
My how the science has changed since then.
So-called science and society have most definitely changed. Crybabies are fussing about everything.
First of all, I’m not a paranoid person (normally); however, since the ‘strange’ weather has been occurring in the last few years it made me think of a story I saw on one of the news stations around 10 to 15 years ago (maybe long?). In it they discussed the Chinese toying with experiments and/or equipment that could possibly affect the weather. An inference was made that the US, too, was looking into such things in order to ‘prevent’ global famine. I believe that there was a station in Alaska or the Arctic circle. Not sure.
This memory has been nagging me as of late. Does anyone else recall seeing, hearing or reading of such a thing?
@Jan Hello and yes I recall reading such a article so so long ago! Fact/fiction who knows? All I know is the weather is the weather. Hot, cold, dry, wet…we live within its various cycles. I remember one summer long ago watching the news. It was simply 102 that day in NYC! All they said was we can fry eggs on the street and just keep hydrated. All the while showing kids and adults frolicking in the turned on fire hydrants! No political nonsense like today. Remember we have our own brain, gov’t doesn’t think for me.
All good comments here. One thing not mentioned is the world population. Thats what we should be addressing.. When I was born almost 100 years ago in1928 the world pop. was 2.5 billion. Today, its over 8 billion and counting. Thats more than tripled during just my lifetime, despite wars, natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, pandemics, etc. Our earth hasn’t gained any more land though so at this rate, it will become impossible to feed everyone. That’s what we should be of concern to all.
That sounds like what Malthus said over 200 hundred years ago: and he was wrong!!
8bil. yes says Bill Gates and he would know and what he does not Fauci tells him
In 1988 we had an unusually hot summer where i live. The commies jumped on it, screeching that this was the way it was going to be. Well, the next summer was cool and rainy as was the next. Of course the commie media did their best to not point out to dem robots that nature was correcting for an extreme year.
Top environmental Scientists say humans have no effect on GW, there is a Co2 deficit and carbon is a the bases of all life and The atmosphere is in a constant state of cycle.
GW is more political than any threat of all the BS the left claims.
Gee Liberal globalists lie.
When I see them living in caves and eating berries I will believe they have the courage of their convictions. Until them I will see them for the liars that they are.
Climate change has always been with us – before fossil fuel impacts. Greenland was actually Green at one point in time. This latest environmental hoax is meant to justify income redistribution. I read recently that Mr. Biden wants red states to pay for blue state climate projects. That sounds unconstitutional and also like income redistribution.
And a bit on the ‘wacky’ side. Biden is such an imbecile. He needs to go back to his basement and take the cackling ho and Hillary with him.
Earth is burning and Hilary pours the fuel no the fire She is in her element
Natural events have produced emissions long before weather temperatures have been recorded and they continue today. A prime example is the forest fires in Canada and the volcano in one of the pacific islands. One of these events could easily all of the emission reductions for more than a year.
Global warming is the fault from the extreme Maga people Sloppy declared today.
That closes the argument for always? .
Sloppy has cured cancer, defeated Putin and now he has solved climate change if only those dang extreme magas would give him a chance. That is how he sees his governing
No other opinions are allowed.
It is the saddest day of the week. With the trans testifying before the congressional committee and not one dem has a moral bone in his or her body to feel for what has happened to these people that have been mutilated and still don’t feel the sex they have become only confused with their gender they were born into and what they have been made into. Trans is not a disease or an affliction that with gender medicine and surgery can be cured. You are what you are. Trans are made through brainwashing and working on those that are easily manipulated. Why is de question that is asked. Why? genocide by sterilization. The senior citizens are all dying at a rapid rate, through the vaccine and hunger due to inflationary prices. The kids by making them trans and selling them into sex trafficking
Wake up America. Sloppy is taking all your money especially from the middle class. Plans are already in place. Every generation is taken care off. And not a shot is fired.
The left if partly right. The Bible predicts, 2000 years ago, that a day will come when man will shake his fist at God because of scorching heat. However, it isn’t man’s doing, as God controls the climate. That’s in the bible, also. God created the entire universe. It’s His to run and rule. If people loved God and obeyed His rules, He wouldn’t have to punish the earth. He loves everyone, but will only save the ones who ask His sin free son, who shed His blood for the atonement of humans, to save them. It’s up to us to ask to be saved. That hot day seems to be fast approaching. First the true church will be removed from the earth, then the 7 year tribulation period will happen. Decision time is now.
People need to get their Bible out and read the book of Revelation.
Tell ‘em the part where I fight the dragon lol
that right everyone
make sure you ask god to save you from what he was going to do to you in the first place lol
Great article. This author is always absolutely on point and totally accurate, in my opinion.
Thank you Tammy Bruce excellent article. Maybe all the dumb Democrats and all their dumb followers need to read this over and over so it will sink in. How do the Democrats possibly explain the dinosaur age when the earth was warm and there were no humans around then. All this climate change is a bunch of BS to make money and control all of us.
The Bible tells us that God controls the weather, see Amos 4:7 and Deut. 28:17.
It’s all about money!
There is no real information from politicians. Everything they state is calculated. HRC seems to have lost the ability to calculate however.
Statements concerning climate is not at all believable from a politician. Now they threaten scientists via grants there are precious few statements from them we can rely upon.
One constant about climate I am sure of. The climate will continue to change and nothing man can do will change that.
Sadly, the left counts on the ignorance of the American people to push this weather crap.
I live in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and we have had a mild summer, on the cool side. I have large gardens, fruit and nut orchards, etc. and keep detailed records of the weather on my farm over the past 35 years. There is nothing about this summer that is remotely different than normal – except that media hysteria surrounds every warm day. Just this week we had a day where temperatures were predicted to be in the upper 80s – pretty normal for July around here. We had “extreme heat advisories” in place as though a normal summer day was something to be concerned about. The tomatoes, peppers and corn loved it, the dog laid around more than the previous day, and I spent a little more time in the shade. Didn’t seem like an emergency of any kind to me. When I moved to this property in July 34 years ago, we had 14 straight days of over 100 degrees. That was unusual, this isn’t.
I read a comment elsewhere that the fear mongers are using a “heat index” temperature and not actual temperature readings. Sort of like wind chill factor in cold weather.
Climate Hoax
Covid Hoax
Orange Man Bad Hoax
Uni Party not a HOAX
Free and Fair Election Hoax
Safe and Effective Hoax
On and on REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT IS THE REAL HOAX!
Global Warming/Climate Change has become the Left’s new pagan religion; Plain and Simple. They worship the creation rather than the Creator.
Every year, all you hear from the leftist media is “record temperatures”… if this were true, the temperature would be in the thousands of defgrees! Its called “summer” people. Summer means “record temperatures”. I jean, is it REALLY surprising to these ppl that Phoenix gets HOT in summer? Its all propaganda to sell us green energy.
Are you trying to imply that the Progressive-Socialists are Lying to the people to further advance their self-serving hidden agenda? Say it ain’t so!
What good are the solar panels when the government is ‘dimming the sun’? Self-defeating or deliberate? Refuse to play along.
Very good article. Thanks AMAC for capturing good ones.
I’ve always said there is only so much hot and cold on the planet. It just moves around.
To wit: Just pulled up Anarctica weather “-76F today and feels like -111; also record coldest last 6 months on record.” So why is it so terribly hot in good ole USA?
The penguins are hogging all the cold!
A thousand years from now with the next ice age approaching liberals will be screaming about global cooling.
The climate “crisis” is just a tool for the left to use to bypass normal legislative process and use the power of office to write rules for society. Biden has used it to enact executive orders that restrict our freedoms in many ways. Now that the Covid “crisis” is over, it is the strongest weapon the left has.
The Fascist democrats and loser U.N. substitute Fear for Reason.
Their constant scam and lies on Global Warming are unprecedented.
Their facts of 2.2 degrees are total misinformation and a lie. They don’t know for a fact what the earth’s temperature will be in 100 years let alone in a year.
Based on truth of elimination of fossil fuels will only have actual effect of changing the earth’s temperature by 17 one-thousandths of 1 percent of One degree.
NOT the 2.2 degrees they lie about.
Their scam and lies about Global Warming are about Power and Destroying the United States leaving Americans in the Dark Ages with NO ENERGY and OUTRAGEOUS utility bills.
This is CAVEMAN Dictator Beijing biden’s fault who lives luxurious on American taxpayers money while hiding, Vacations EVERY weekend, bowing down to Communist China, COMMITTING Espionage and Treason, WEAPONIZED DOJ, FBI, IRS, CDC, and Corruption with Racketeering with Hunter.
The only Global Warming there is is their lies.
There are other, more basic issues with the current calculation of “Global Temperature” not mentioned in this article. The techniques most quoted significantly raise the final product.
Dictators always take over the media and send propaganda to the public. Our media has been taken over a long time ago and the propaganda has been manipulating the public for decades. Until we force the media to tell the truth the majority of the public will be slaves to those who control the media. If the media told the truth about climate then everyone would know it’s fake. We need to force the media to tell the truth and that will solve most of our problems.
Anyone who took a reasonable course in history or science while in school and did not sleep thru it like most Dumbocrats obviously did knows about the miserably hot summers of the past, as well as the summer with no heat. Incidentally, how many million acres of gov’t. owned land do you suppose Joey’s wind and solar energy farms will take up. Maybe he intends to pull all of it out of his a** like all his other hair brained ideas.
If those libs make me mad, I’ll make it hotter hot!
Isn’t it telling enough that the Dems, climate changers, always use summer (which is always hot in late July & August) to shout their mantra? Then you hear not a whimper in winter. Ever wonder why? It began to become quite obvious when all the richer nations sent $billions to $trillions to the ‘headquarters’
