Hurricane Helene -- and the 'Climate Change' Experts
Townhall ^ | 10/10/2024 | Larry Elder

"No one can deny the impact of climate crisis anymore. At least I hope they don't. They must be brain dead if they do. Scientists report that with warming oceans powering more intense rains, storms like Helene are getting stronger and stronger. They're not going to get less; they're going to get stronger." -- President Joe Biden, Oct. 2, 2024

Three years ago, Science News published an article with the following headline: "Hurricanes may not be becoming more frequent, but they're still more dangerous -- There aren't more of the storms now than there were roughly 150 years ago, a study suggests." As to the increasing number of lives threatened and greater property damage, more people now live and build things in hurricane-affected areas.

If this sounds confusing and contradictory, let's again revisit the track record of the "experts."

"'The trouble with almost all environmental problems,' says Paul R. Ehrlich, the population biologist, 'is that by the time we have enough evidence to convince people, you're dead. ... We must realize that unless we are extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.'" -- The New York Times, 1969

"No real action has been taken to save the environment, (Ehrlich) maintains. And it does need saving. Ehrlich predicts that the oceans will be as dead as Lake Erie in less than a decade." -- Redlands Daily Facts, 1970

"Scientist Predicts a New Ice Age by 21st Century: Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century ... (I)f the current rate of increase in electric power generation continues, the demands for cooling water will boil dry the entire flow of the rivers and streams of continental United States. ... (B)y the next century 'the consumption of oxygen in combustion processes, world-wide, will surpass all of the processes which return oxygen to the atmosphere.'" -- The Boston Globe, 1970

"The world could be as little as 50 or 60 years away from a disastrous new ice age, a leading atmospheric scientist predicts. ... 'In the next 50 years,' the fine dust man constantly puts into the atmosphere by fossil fuel-burning could screen out so much sunlight that the average temperature could drop by six degrees. If sustained 'over several years' --'five to 10,' he estimated -- 'such a temperature decrease could be sufficient to trigger an ice age!' -- Washington Post, 1971

"A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000." -- Associated Press, 1989

"Dear Mr. President: ... We feel obliged to inform you on the results of the scientific conference held here recently. ... The main conclusion of the meeting was that a global deterioration of climate, by order of magnitude larger than any hitherto experienced by civilized mankind, is a very real possibility and indeed may be due very soon. The cooling has natural cause and falls within the rank of processes which produced the last ice age. ... The present rate of the cooling seems fast enough to bring glacial temperatures in about a century." -- Brown University, Department of Geological Sciences, 1972

"However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing.

"Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age. Telltale signs are everywhere -- from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest." -- Time Magazine, 1974

"Unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return." -- Former Vice President Al Gore, 2006

"The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change." -- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 2019

"We're all gonna die!" -- Homer Simpson

My heart almost stopped at the first line as I thought Larry Elder CAN’T have gone to the “other side.”

Sure glad he’s still on the job - a voice of reason always!

Advice his dad gave him for success on a job was: “arrive early and stay late.”

If these folks are so concerned about globull warming, climate change, or whatever the phrase of the day may be, then grab some corks and proceed to insert them in cow’s butts across America. Be fun to watch and this exercise in futility would surely thin the herd... so to speak.

Better yet, give up their yachts and flying and beach front homes.

If yesterday was a West to East Hurricane Andrew (from 30 years ago), 1/3rd of Tampa would no longer exist. Storms are more powerful today? Ask the Keys, Galveston, Lake Okeechobee, etc. about that.

I like the piece…except that I’d like to see Elder dive into the science and pose alternate causes for some of the weather to the sycophantic audience of gore et al.

Like Hunga Tonga…

The irony of biden calling anyone *braindead*.

Hey, Joe. Take some meteorology classes and then get back to us about the weather.

I’ll say it again...

Puny humans are not significant enough to cause “global” climate change on this erf. The erf is YUGE!

Even “IF” climate change were occurring, there is NOTHING puny humans could do to stop or fix it.

The forces in the universe are so dynamic that puny humans can only affect “LOCAL” climate in big cities. LOCAL air pollution and LOCAL heat Island effect.

Most of the word is oceans. Most of the world is unpopulated.

Fun fact “Termites are present in 70 percent of countries across the world and their population outnumbers human beings on a ratio of ten to one.”

And they NEVER sleep. Breathing, farting, and eating 24 hours a day.

There are 900,000 other kinds of insects in the world.

Conclusion. Climate nuts should be worrying about insect farts not cow farts.

If every government on earth confiscated every penny beyond bare subsistence from every person and spent it all on climate, they could not affect the global temperature by one degree or the sea levels by an inch.

Earth’s climate is unpredictable and always changing. I took a geology course back in the 1990’s and my professor mentioned in class there was a period around 230 million years when the planet was deluged with torrential and continuous rainfall for over a million years. It was called the Carnian Pluvial Event. I don’t believe we humans existed that long ago to cause that!

We never had hurricanes in the old days, wait, we did have them. All articles, records and references to them have been purged by the UN.

Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat

Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life

Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need more money or it gets severe

Hurricanes on the way they’re comin soon
You’re all going to die in the next typhoon

Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

Helene was a Cat4 ... at flight level. Surface winds barely 100mph at landfall.

So right there, Saffir-Simpson has been intentionally corrupted by the neomarxists who will go to any lengths to hide the extremely short length of time (89 years) we have had people flying into hurricanes, and even shorter time (27 years) we have had the Gulfstream IV-SP flying at flight level. Because "Science!".
