Does the Earth have a fever? Is it boiling? Have we hit the tipping point? The answer is clearly no

The public is constantly being told that the Earth is the warmest it has ever been.

And that warming is being caused by humans, our use of natural resources, and CO2.

And the solution for the media and other Democrats is the same as the solution for all problems: We need a bigger government, with higher taxes and more regulations and of course, the government has to be run by Democrats.

We need to give up our gas-powered cars, furnaces, gas stoves, and appliances before it is too late.

Something that never gets in their way as they push this green agenda are facts.

And here is a scientific fact: If all the things we have been told cause warming that we have used a lot of in the last 160 years, we would not be setting a massive amount of cold temperature records.

Like here:

Stunning cold is crashing southward from the Arctic into the Lower 48 states. It could break hundreds of records this weekend into early next week. The bitter cold will arrive in the wake of another blockbuster storm sweeping the nation.

The Arctic blast will produce the planet’s biggest negative temperature anomalies over parts of the western and central United States, in some places up to 60 degrees below normal. It will make for icy NFL playoff games in Kansas City and Buffalo this weekend and frigid Iowa caucuses Monday, and could test the Texas power grid.

Warming does not cause record cold weather. It is idotic to believe green pushers when they repeat that garbage.

We've been told that 2023 was the warmest year on record and that the ice is melting fast in the Arctic.

How many times have we been told that it would be gone ...

In December 2023, ice in the Arctic rose at the third fastest rate on record (they have only been keeping records since 1981) because in significant parts of the Arctic, temperatures were significantly below average
 
For December overall, 2023 had the third highest monthly gain in the 45-year record at 2.71 million square kilometers (1.05 square miles), behind 2006 at 2.85 million square kilometers (1.10 million square miles) and 2016 at 2.78 million square kilometers (1.07 million square miles).

A lot of this explains why they pushed out the newest USDA Hardiness charts and stopped at 2020. If they had included the winters of 2021, 2022, and 2023 (thru March 2023), they might have had to dial back some of the hardiness zone increases.

It’s -9 in KC with a wind chill of -17 and we’re warmer than a lot of cities tonight.

It’s difficult to find out the temperature of the Earth or Mars but you can determine the temperature of Uranus to within a tenth of a degree.

The Nation that was the biggest Polluter ever was the COMMUNIST Ussr. The biggest Polluter now is the COMMUNIST Chicoms. The NWO wants to kill billions of people. They care NOTH8NG about the Climate, so many usefull idiots help them.

We were globally warmed to the tune of -24F with a -36F windchill this morning. High of minus effing 4 today.

Yes, you are. It’s been brutal here in the Idaho panhandle.

Just what was the high temperature in Rome on March 15 in 44 BC? How about the morning low temperature in Hastings on October 14, 1066? Just who was monitoring temperatures on the North American continent in the year 1250?How cold was the average temperature during the last Ice Age? Yet we are told last year was the hottest year in millennia. The only reliable surface temperatures for the planet are from satellite data collected only in the last 50 years and without manipulating the numbers there is no warming trend and quite contrary the trend is cooler not warmer.

With temperatures plunging tonight in the Midwest to minus teens and below and typical of these polar vortices winds are relatively calm, how would windmills generate enough electricity to heat homes? The last month has had scant few days of sunlight nixing any serious contribution from solar cell farms to our electric needs. I can only hope that Greta Thunberg is freezing in her bed tonight.

From https://mathbench.umd.edu/modules/climate-change_hockey-stick/page03.htm

(Note-this is from a website that is pushing the warming scam)

-————For temperature since about 1850, scientists can refer to the “instrumental record.” This is a world wide record based on standardized thermometer readings from thousands of meteorological stations around the world.
Because there are now thousands of weather stations, the uncertainty in temperature measurements is now much lower than before 1850. But that doesn’t mean it is simple to figure out the average world temperature! It turns out you can’t just take a regular average — instead, you need to account for the unevenness of the weather stations (lots in the US, few in Greenland or Africa, for example), urban heat island effects, and lots of other possible quirks.—————

The article goes on about how we can use ice cores and tree rings to extrapolate temperatures BUT... That is not accurate, rather only down to a plus or minus a couple of degrees Fahrenheit.

So we’ve only had decent temperature measurements since 1850, and not all at once, but over a long period of time (the best records starting in Western Europe and the USA), gradually only reaching remote locations in the past 70 years or so (after WWII). Satellite surface temperatures have been gathered since the late 1960s but the accuracy is not as great as the carefully placed modern thermometer at a documented earth station.

The warming of the past several decades has been about 1-2 degrees Celsius. That’s it. And they say it might go up as high as 5 degrees—where the biggest doom and gloom stories exist. Yet they’re not sure. Some computer models say global temperatures could get this high.

Models that depend on accurate and massive amounts of data...

But, as you say, what was the precise temperature of a location more than 150 years ago? On a planet 4 billion years old?

I remember the brutal cold fall and winter of 1976-1977. As bad as it is now. It was used as proof the world was entering THE COMING ICE AGE which was all the rage back then.

We could use some of that Glo-Bull Warming right now! It was -2 at 8 AM this morning.

Greta Thunberg and the other globulist loving scum are hoping it is YOU and YOUR FAMILY that are freezing to death in your bed tonight.

The Chinese love that we are destroying our electric grid all the while they are loading more coal plants than Al Gore would ever approve of.

The Chinese destroy our electrical grid with China Joe and our military with the VAXXXXXXINE mandates. It appears that Joe is doing EVERYTHING the Chinese would want a POTUS to do to hurt the US. If I didn't know better, I would say that ALL of the Joe's bribe money was effectively spent.

We know Joe didn't get any of the $millions from Hunter's businesses because he said so. If you can't believe Joe then who can you believe?
