Isn’t it time that journalists and students are taught to do research and ask questions about the climate instead of just regurgitating talking points pushing the green agenda?
We are constantly told that storms, floods, droughts, and other natural disasters are growing in frequency and intensity—so why don’t we see specific examples?
Like the severe drought and warm period in Europe in 1540 when temperatures were 9–13 degrees above today’s average during the little ice age?
For eleven months, there was practically no rain, temperatures were five to seven degrees [Celsius] [9–13 °F] above the normal values for the 20th century, in many places summer temperatures must have exceeded 40 °C (104 °F). Many forests in Europe went up in flames, choking smoke darkened the sun, not a single thunderstorm was reported in the summer of 1540. Water was already scarce in May, wells and springs dried up, mills stood still, people starved, livestock was slaughtered. Estimates are that in 1540 half a million people died, mostly from dysentery.
Or what about the massive fires in the United States in 1871? In 1871, the midwestern United States had a severe drought and warm weather, clearly not caused by humans and our use of natural resources. As a result of this heat and drought there were severe fires throughout the Midwest, including the Great Chicago Fire.

It FLEW IN THE FACE of snowflake reality
It turned into Science Fiction

IDIOCRACY and $$$
Back in the 1990’s I remember reading that by 2020 anything south of the US border was supposed to be an uninhabitable hell, the US would be heading the same way, and we’d all be flooding into the Canadian tundra in an effort to survive. How anyone over 30 can believe in the gibberish pawned by climate alarmists is beyond me. The MDW (Medieval Warm Period) was a good thing, and it would be nice if it returned.
It was overthrown by the religious zealots who preach “Science” when what they mean is authoritarianism.
Basically this is what science has always been in totalitarian countries.
Yeah, I remember “They’re cutting down a section of of the Amazon rainforest the size of Kansas e every year!!!!!!It will all be gone by 1990!!!!!!!!”
Evidence based science was bought out by a conglomerate.
Science is listed on lines 1 and 2 in the left’s (e.g. the media, studies majors, Democrats, and other science-challenged) in their operating standards manual:
1. Our only standard is a double one.
2. Science? We don’t need no stinkin’ science.
It is now narrative based science.
Obviously the 1540 warming was due to cow farts and human farts owing to all those beans, corn, and squash the conquistadores stole from indigenous peoples not to mention the jalapeño peppers. You right wing troglodytes just hate that science science science proves you wrong wrong wrong.

Evidence based science gave way to “science” when the government became the largest purchaser of results.
Where do these people get off trying to use real science and factual data in an effort to undermine the emotional arguments of man made global warming??
Starting from when?
I mean, trial of Galileo? Federal research grants passing through NIH study sections? Wholesale corruption at FDA? When are you talking about? There was no golden age.
They’re too busy getting suckered by a retarded girl who said the earth would be over by now
