On July 2, 2021, I wrote, “The climate change crusaders were absolutely orgasmic over the recent heat wave that struck the northeast of the United States and Canada. Irrespective of any deaths, damage, and destruction, their gaiety and giddiness were evident in their shallow reports and fairy tales of pseudo-science.” While relative to instrument recorded temperatures, the affected region did break a number of high mercury marks, meteorologist Anthony Watts explains in an article entitled, “Major Media FAIL on Reporting the Pacific Northwest Heatwave“ that, “The heat wave was entirely a weather pattern issue, not a climate issue”.
Returning to the scene and date of their climate climax, an activist scientist writes “Statistically impossible' heat extremes are here: Study identifies the regions most at risk”, on the website “Phys.Org”. While they cannot find anything remotely similar to the heat wave of the Pacific Northeast, they assert, “Looking at historical data from 1959 to 2021, we found that 31% of Earth's land surface has already experienced such statistically implausible heat .“ This allegation comes with no supporting detail, but interestingly enough is the from-year-to-year time period that was c nohosen or more aptly cherry picked. As shown on the temperature graph below a cold period started right around 1959 and lasted through to 1980.
Furthermore, the following chart details earth’s temperatures starting in 7500 BC, or BCE, if one has no tolerance for religion, right to the current time period. This being the case, you can be assured, that any heatwave on earth has been precedented and many have been much worse.
Clumsily, if not moronically, the story alleges, “We identified a number of regions, again spread across the globe, that have not experienced especially extreme heat over the past six decades (relative to their "expected" climate). As a result, these regions are more likely to see a record-breaking event in the near future.”
That is quite a prediction. It’s somewhat akin to saying, “A plane has never crash-landed on my house, so the event is more likely to happen in the near future because I’m living on a flight path which is the expected environment”, but of course, as George Orwell one said, “People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes.”
American economist, author, social commentator, and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Thomas Sowell once said, “Would you bet your paycheck on a weather forecast for tomorrow? If not, then why should this country bet billions on global warming predictions that have even less foundation?
The third sentence in the second paragraph should read "This allegation comes with no supporting detail, but interestingly enough is the from-year-to-year time period that was chosen or more aptly cherry-picked."
