The climate change crisis fraud provides ample employment for liars all over the world.
Yeah, I better put my boots on before I read this......on second thought, forgetaboutit..!
We wouldn’t even know that there was or was not a Cat 5 hurricane in the Atlantic 100 years ago... at any time... unless it hit a spit of land with actual weather instrumentation.
It weighs the same as a duck.
BS!
Some people have suggested that hurricane Beryl was man-made. I’m open minded enough to consider that, though I confess I don’t have any evidence either way.
There were huge floods and destruction of towns by hurricanes in the 1800s and early 1900s. No wimpy nerds on TV to label them climate change caused.
Tom Rush version of folk song Galveston Flood. “Wasn’t That a Mighty Storm” is alternate title for an American folk song concerning the 1900 hurricane that destroyed Galveston, Texas.
Galveston Flood
Song by Tom Rush
It was the year of 1900 that was 60 years ago
Death come’d a howling on the ocean and when death calls you’ve got to go
Galveston had a sea wall just to keep the water down
But a high tide from the ocean blew the water all over the town.
Wasn’t that a mighty storm
Wasn’t that a mighty storm in the morning
Wasn’t that a mighty storm
It blew all the people away.

Couldn’t have been blamed on man-made climate change:
In 1900, the Census Bureau reported that manufacturers produced 5,000 motor vehicles and there were 8,000 registered vehicles in the United States. In 1908, the year Henry Ford began producing the Model T, manufacturers produced 65,000 motor vehicles. There were 197,500 registered motor vehicles on American roads.
ROFL , will they change their fake climate crisis back to their fake global warming ,LOL
You are the carbon they wish to eliminate. They are saving the planet for themselves.
Get a real job Mark Poynting.
There’s a 97% consensus among climate scientists that they don’t want to be defunded.
“the earliest category five Atlantic hurricane in records going back around 100 years.”
100 to 6,000,000,000 years... 1/60,000,000 of unrecorded history... statistically there have been possibly 60 million Category 5 hurricanes this early...
no biggie.
Of course the climate is changing. That’s what the climate does. Once where a friend of mine in Virginia lives, there were glaciers a kilometer high.
What’s going on right now is some warming because the Sun is at a solar maximum. Happens every 23 years.
In about eleven years the Sun will be at a “Mauder minimum.” That leads to things like a year without a summer.
This is all well known. They key is the alignment of the Sun with the Earth and Jupiter. And a few other things.
Us little tiny things (humans) have absolutely no impact on these cycles.
But hey, the solution is more taxes, more government regulation, more money to these con artists, less freedom for us, etc. That will affect the behavior of the Sun!
And oh yeah, it’s all Trump’s fault! /need I?
It’s on his bank statement.
I swear BBC pays bonuses per word for any article pushing climate hysteria
About time for me to post this again:
For those curious:
CO2 only absorbs infrared light aka heat in two very narrow bands of wavelengths (think “colors” of heat). In those narrow bands, CO2 is almost completely opaque.
Even at only 0.04% of our atmosphere, CO2 absorbs almost all infrared light in those bands within a few tens of meters. Hence, if you increased CO2 by even 10 times, the total amount of infrared light (again, heat) absorbed by the atmosphere would NOT CHANGE.
Think about it like this: You have 10,000 sheets of very thin semi-opaque paper. Each sheet abosbs 0.04% of light passing through it. That means those 10,000 sheets will aborb almost all of the light passing through them.
Note: the math is a little complicated. First sheet aborbs 0.04% of the light leaving 99.96% left. Next sheet abosorbs 0.04% of the remaining 99.96% leaving about 99.92%. Next sheet aborbs about 99.96% of that, leaving 99.88% left. After about 10,000 sheets, only about 1.83% of the light is left. Basically all of it has been absorbed (and likely converted into heat).
Consider those sheets to be about 1 meter thick (that is a gross overestimation — it’s probably more like 10 cm thick, but erring on the side of a conservative estimate). That means your 10,000 sheets are a combined 10km thick. The atmosphere is about 10,000km thick. Hence all infared light is abosbed in the first 1/1,000th of the atmosphere.
How much more light is absobed if you increase the opaqueness of those sheets? Answer: NONE.
Outside of those narrow bands, CO2 is almost completely transparent. So again, if you increased CO2 by even 10 times, the amount of infrared light (again, heat) would NOT CHANGE.
Now the climate “scientists” try to handwave and “computer model” their way around these basic physics facts. After all, computer models are always right (/sarc). But that’s how the REAL physics works.
Short version: manmade aka CO2 caused climate change is not just a hoax, it is not even a very good hoax for those who know the physics. Unfortunately, the level of basic physics education in this nation is basically nil with the exception of real engineers, physicists, and scientists.
Furthermore, why does CO2 only make up 0.04% of our atmosphere? The answer is simple: CO2 is PLANT FOOD. More CO2 simply means more plants and thus more O2 (oxygen). The plants including trees, grass, and mostly plankton simply gobble it all up. “Carbon based life forms” anyone in the class?
