How many times have children been intentionally lied to that humans, and our use of natural resources have threatened the survival of polar bears? They were never dying because of climate change — it was nothing more than overhunting. Last year, scientists described polar bear populations as “thriving”:
The polar bear has two features that mark it as a thriving species: it’s as wide-spread across the Arctic as it was hundreds of years ago and there has not been a sustained, statistically significant decline in numbers in any of the 19 official subpopulations.
And now, beavers are a threat as bad as “wildfire” just because they’re back in Alaska. In an article published a few days ago:
Beavers first reached the North American Arctic from Eurasia by crossing the Bering Land Bridge perhaps 7 million years ago, when global temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 were higher, enabling forests to grow at higher latitudes.
This article is meant to scare the public, but it blurts out an inconvenient truth: it was warmer, with higher CO2 millions of years ago, long before humans used coal and oil!
The Washington Post has whored for disgruntled FBI agents for decades - now they whore for any "D" who's 'woke'... It's no wonder citizens trust used car salesmen more than 'journalists'...
Reminds me of my hometown newspaper in the northeast. One winter about 20 years ago, it was pretty warm and there was hardly any snow, so the paper published a lengthy editorial about how “global warming means snow will soon be a ‘thing of the past.’” The following winter, the town got record amounts of snow and freezing cold. The paper’s response? “Global warming can also lead to heavy snow and dangerous cold.” A perfect example of why they now use the words “climate change.” It covers every kind of weather!
I do not mind dumba$$es making wild pronouncements of doom, but I very much mind allowing them to shape public policy.
Too many people, even on this site don’t understand the difference between Climate and Weather.
Climate is what you expect.
Weather is what you get.
A couple days ago, I was looking at Accuweather for our Coeur d’Alene area. The lowest temperature ever recorded for December 13 was -5 degrees in 1919. Guess what happened exactly two years later? Yep, record high for December 13 of 47 degrees. (going from memory, so I may be off on the date and exact temperatures, but I know they were two years apart)
What happened to the liberals screaming “That’s weather! Not climate!”?
I watch the discovery channel Life Below Zero, they are always harping on climate change changing their way of life, I just laugh because the Discovery Channel is making those folks talking about that stuff to virtue signal their politics.
Yep. I like to call this propaganda.
