But in South America — which in just the last month has had deadly landslides in Brazil, wildfire in Argentine wetlands and flooding in the Amazon so severe it ruined harvests — that future is already here.

Because those things have never happened in the history of the world until white man came along and ruined everything ... right?

The "follow the science" people need to follow it themselves. These land masses were at one time one. Over millennia, they separated. That's a lot of movement. That movement hasn't stopped. Never will. The earth is in a constant state of change.

LOL - Germany just announced they are now considering ALL energy sources to achieve energy independence. They have green-lighted 2 new LNG terminals, and will revive defunct coal plants.

One whiff of reality and the green agenda is GONE!

All this climate science stuff is hard to figure out, so I'll see if I can clear a few things up.

If you believe we should keep sending aid to South American countries to bring their lifestyles up to first world status, and you believe first world lifestyles create global warming, and you're mad that global warming is causing flooding and wildfires ... you might be a Democrat. LOL

George Orwell warned us of "doublethink". This is case of triplethink. LOL

We lost everything in a “500 year” Mingo Creek flood back in 1976 Tulsa OK.

Eight years later, my brother lost everything in another “500 year flood” in the same area, same Mingo creek.

Weather forecasting is just guesswork.

There was a brutal flood along Sager Creek, Arkansas back in 1974. Worst ever.

But then these were in the COMING ICE AGE hoax years.

On windmills, not sure of the climate change but they surely take out a good number of birds.

Of course massive deforestation has nothing to do with it.

They need to outlaw volcanoes. I read that one volcano put out more C02 that all of mankind in history.

While their at it outlaw forest fires esp the ones in californicate that get out of hand because of poor forest management.

” deadly landslides in Brazil, wildfire in Argentine wetlands and flooding in the Amazon so severe it ruined harvests “

Simply amazing that in the history of mankind these kinds of natural disasters have never happened before.

But what about the 1967 Caraguatatuba Mudslide in Sao Paulo, Brazil that killed 437 people?

Doing a cursory check with Duck Duck Go it seems that Brazil has had a lot of mudslides over the years. It also seems that a lot of Brazilians have moved into the area where these mudslides occur.

One more thing...how diligent do you think Brazilian record keeping has been over the last century? Certainly they have been meticulous in recent years as every greenie on the planet is throwing money at them with every report of an insect found to be on the edge of extinction. But back when Brazil was actively trying to grow and industrialize, do you think they gave a rat’s rear end what the rainfall was in a particular area? Or if a mudslide happened, but there was little to no loss of life?

Yeah, it fluctuates. And these alarmists only take advantage of one bad year, they are silent during the following five good years. lol

Now I think of it, California used to have lots of mud slides back in the 1960s!

I remember a movie, HOW TO COMMIT MARRIAGE(1969) in which Bob Hope and Jackie Gleason ended up up to their necks in a mud slide.
