Despite the fact that climate alarmists have been obviously and wildly wrong for more than 50 years now in their predictions, they continue to demand absolute credulity for their moanings and screechings about the supposed imminent catastrophe of global warming. The real meltdown isn’t from glaciers, it’s from the climate alarmist mainstream media. But why?
Totally ignoring evidence from multiple sources showing that the globe is cooling overall and that their “record heat” announcements are flat-out wrong, the mainstream media continues to predict eco-apocalypse. Since it’s not a fact-brd narrative, why exactly is the media still pushing it?
A few points:
1. There is no evidence that emissions are discernibly warming the atmosphere.
2. The atmosphere only warms the top inch or so of the ocean.
3. This summer's warmth is caused by natural factors (Sun, geothermal, currents) not emissions.https://t.co/eMqT7dyQby

To give just a few examples of recent headlines from the media playing up the alleged record heat:
From CNN , July 5: “The planet saw its hottest day on record this week. It’s a record that will be broken again and again.”
From CBS News , July 17: “Death Valley, hottest place on Earth, hits near-record high as blistering heat wave continues.”
From PBS , July 22: “Summer of record-breaking heat paints story of a warming world, scientists say.”
From Bloomberg , July 21: “Emergency Rooms Swamped as Record Heat Above 100F Wilts US South.”
I find the last one particularly silly, since, as an Arizonan, I can assure you that it would be weird if it weren’t well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in July in Arizona (the article specifically called out Arizona and Texas).

I also have what purports to be the entire file dump from East Anglia including all the tweaking admissions. After that dump all discussion of it just about anywhere disappeared. I figure if that expose didn’t get them nothing will. The fix is in.
I still have the file dump. I read a lot of it but certainly not all of it; just enough to destroy all their credibility.
Like my junior high drafting teacher used to say, “You sho do pretty work.” Thanks for the analysis.
Exactly.
When someone has a point to make, and they make it factually and honestly as best they can, I am always willing to listen. Always. Even if they make mistakes in their presentation, I can overlook that.
But when someone deliberately lies, deceives, misrepresents, obfuscates, or talks in circles, I am done with their point of view. In my mind, if you have to lie or deceive, for any reason at all in what should be an honest and straightforward discussion, I stop right there, and any discussion of that matter by anyone is not only suspect, but outright shut down by me.
Especially if they use the same taking points someone else did.
That is a high compliment, indeed FRiend...:)
That one (the doctoring of the scales) really got my goat.
I believe they KNOW that someone will notice and call them out on it, but...they don’t care.
They rightly believe that the lie will persist and that the refutation will fade.
That is a terrible thing for me to have finally accepted. And it is the modus operandi of the Left.
We would be about as warm as the Roman warm period and still about two degrees off the Minoan warm period.
But if it gets two degrees cooler we might have a problem.
Well done. Good catch. Spotting and correcting the false impression created by that graph.
It makes me think of the Stallings case. Patricia Stallings was convicted of murdering her infant son Ryan in 1989. She had supposedly poisoned him with antifreeze. During her trial, the jury was shown a graph of the substance found in Ryan’s blood, and next to it, a graph of antifreeze. They were very similar. But if someone had just bothered to actually compare them, such as by superimposing those graphs, they would have seen that they were actually quite different.
The Forensic Files episode “Deadly Formula” on this case is available on YouTube.
Good observation on the two death scales. Thank you.
In Bourke’s book ON THE BORDER WITH CROOK, wrote that in the 1870s the summer temperature in Tuscon often went above 120 degrees for days at a time.
“Has it never happened before?”
When I moved to Texas back in 2006, it was 114 the day I moved in.
It’s possible, though the accuracy of historical temperature measurements is always questionable. I’m not all that sure about the temperatures given by my cheapo digital station, but they match those of an old alcohol thermometer pretty closely.
It really bothers me. Not that it is anything new, this is what they do.
But the fact they are cynical enough to assume, and be generally right on it, that people can’t (or won’t) keep track of all of it, and will take to heart the initial lie and accept that as their truth, is disconcerting and disheartening.
It is how many good and otherwise intelligent people in Germany ended up supporting the Nazi party in 1933.
Propaganda 101.
It is infuriating. And it is how they roll. Proudly.
Right on!
When it comes to climate change, the primary greenhouse gas is water vapor, NOT carbon dioxide.
The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year-and-a-half. Water vapor is the acting greenhouse gas causing the heat wave.
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted underwater in the South Pacific Ocean on January 15, 2022, and blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere, increasing the volume of water vapor by 10 to 30%.

I’ll tell you something else that I have noticed. Just pick a weather reporting station like DFW Airport on the NWS site. They have what they call a 3-day history. Highs and Lows, winds, and the like. So let’s say at 1:00, it was 101. At 2:00 is was 102. At 3:00 it was 103. At 4:00 is it 103. At 5:00 is it 102. At 6:00 is the 101 and the like. But you look in the column for the high temperature and it was say 105. So, for a brief period of, say five minutes, it was 105 and that is what gets reported as the the high for the day. From that, all these climatological numbers of above average and such are reported. “It was 119 in Phoenix today!” Yeah, for five minutes but it went back down quickly to 114.
Read later. I just found this. Yesterday morning, low was 63 degrees in August in Midwest. 63! Summer here has been really cool. I’m expecting truly frigid winter this year. When I was a kid in Spokane, when we had cool summer, the year after winter was really cold, with lots of snow. Big deal when you’re a kid. The church across street from school had big plowed snow mountain. Lots of fun to play on, after school.
