Climate change is real. It is manmade. It is a challenge that needs sensible policies. But campaigners do the cause a massive disservice by refusing to acknowledge evidence that challenges their intensely doom-ridden worldview.
Palisadoes regularly has catastrophic fires, including 1938 and 1961 - as well as many other years.
The cause of climate campaing is a lost one. People on both
sides of the climate debate namely, climate campaigners, activists
on one side and climate skeptics and so-called deniers on the
other side have one thing in common; they are mostly hopeless
gasoline gluttons utterly incapable of reducing their carbon footprint
on their own initiative. What differentiates those who believe in climate
change from those who don't share their concern for Earth's climate
future is mainly climate hypocrisy. The climate change movement
can be likened to an imaginary anti-tobacco campaign wherein
activists who accused the tobacco industry of knowingly causing
health damage of smokers were all smoking like chimneys.
The only viable solution to climate change as far as I can
see is for the world to continue burning fossil fuels to full
depletion. By then carbon emission will be set to decline
provided that the world wouldn't turn to burning Earth's remaining
forests to delay the inevitable that is human extinction.

When Did Changing Weather Become Climate Change?
What’s the difference between weather and climate? Let’s ask the expert class, the governmental National Weather Service.
It’s sunny and unseasonably warm where I am today, but a week ago, it was snowy and unseasonably cold. A climate warrior might label the former as global warming, the latter as global cooling, or the composite as climate change. A rational person would call it weather.
The United Nations (UN) defines climate change,
Somehow, the climate cooled and warmed long before any significant human activity existed. And how many additional times did this happen in the past 4.5 billion years?
But the UN believes humans are the “main driver of climate change” since the 1800s, not explaining how climate changed so drastically 10,000 years ago to melt a mile-thick ice sheet during a time of minuscule human activity.
The UN relies on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that reports in a scary fashion,
Researchers reconstructed global mean surface temperature using data assimilation, integrating geological data with climate model simulations. They discovered that “the Earth’s temperature has varied more dynamically than previously thought.”
Screenshot Washington Post and Science
Today’s global temperature is low. It was last this cold 300 million years ago. According to the chart, Planet Earth has been cooling for the past 50 million years. Any man-made warming would be helpful now.
Scientists should know better, as should corporate media. But obviously, they don’t. I reference a few articles from this year in The Guardian, a two-hundred-year-old British newspaper considered a “newspaper of record in the UK” (along with the London Times), much like The New York Times in America. As a British newspaper, the Guardian has observed climate change firsthand, reporting on it cooling, then warming, then cooling again.
Another record is the recent (in geological terms) history of the Thames River. Between 1309 and 1814, it froze at least 23 times. There was a “frost fair” in 1608 when the river froze for over six weeks.
What caused this freeze? London’s activity in the 1600s was mainly overcrowding, disease, and crime, not air conditioners, internal combustion engines, and backyard grills.
More recently, the river froze over in 1963 and again partially in 2021. This seems to be normal cyclic climate change, far from the “man-made global warming” the UN and IPCC warn about.
The Guardian ran two stories this year without a bit of irony. In February of this year, their headline was “What will Spain look like when it runs out of water? Barcelona is giving us a glimpse.” In October, the new headline was “Spain floods: number killed passes 150 as scientists say climate change ‘most likely explanation’ – as it happened.”
From running out of water to flooding, all within a few months. It’s dry, then it’s wet. It’s cold, then it’s warm. And vice versa. It’s also normal. But The Guardian wants it both ways. It’s all climate change, in their view.
A month ago, the paper wrote, “Spain’s deadly floods and droughts are two faces of the climate crisis coin.” In other words, all forms of weather are climate change.
CNN wants it both ways, too. In December 2023, it ran a headline, “Winter is here, but it’s losing its cool.” One year later, without a bit of irony or introspection, it reversed itself with this headline, “It’s about to get dangerously cold, even for winter.”
Much like racism, when everything is considered racist, then nothing is. The same is true for climate change. Psychologists call this confirmation bias,
Yet Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, John Kerry, and other “climate experts” claim to know exactly how many years it will be until the Earth is uninhabitable.
Speaking of Al Gore, I recommend Joel Gilbert’s new film, “The Climate According to AI Al Gore,” where Joel interviews an AI Gore, debunking Gore’s conviction, expertise, and the entire climate emergency of the left.
To the fearmongering, climate-catastrophizing left, it’s all humans’ fault, and with ever-increasing command-and-control diktats, rules, regulations, and taxes, we can affect forces beyond our comprehension and control.
The climate is indeed changing—it always has and always will. Temperatures will likely rise from their current 500 million-year low regardless of what the so-called experts, activists, or any world government agencies say or do.
In their attempts to regulate and tinker with Mother Nature, they may inadvertently destroy everything they are attempting to save—unless that’s the plan.

What’s the difference between weather and climate? Let’s ask the expert class, the governmental National Weather Service.
That’s a mouthful, a typical governmental explanation. Simply put, weather is short-term, meaning days or a few weeks, while climate is long-term, meaning years, centuries, or longer.
It’s sunny and unseasonably warm where I am today, but a week ago, it was snowy and unseasonably cold. A climate warrior might label the former as global warming, the latter as global cooling, or the composite as climate change. A rational person would call it weather.
The United Nations (UN) defines climate change,
The first sentence is undeniably true. The Great Lakes were once covered by mile-thick ice sheets that disappeared when the glaciers retreated 10,000 years ago. This is not long ago, considering the Earth’s 4.5 billion-year age.

Is today’s climate “unprecedented”? Do they know the temperatures hundreds of thousands of years ago? They should, as this data is readily available, published in the prestigious journal Science.

It is also hubris to believe that we can predict, much less control, the climate. The IPCC readily admits, “The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore, the long-term prediction of future climate states is impossible.”

Why do you keep going back to decades old disinformation?Palisadoes regularly has catastrophic fires, including 1938 and 1961 - as well as many other years.
Oh right.
Why is Franky calling newspaper reports misinformation. Notice he refuse to talk about the failed predictions on the past 5 years. I forgot Franky only reads sources he agree with.

Its disinformation when you post articles about single fires in the past as if it proves that the increases in fires and global temperature have't changed.
You are still unable to understand the basics of the science and the difference between global changes and
How weak is your argument that it relies on single news stories from half a century ago, that you have no science or evidence behind your fantasies?
This 1962 documentary film produced by the Los Angeles Fire Department, describes the historic Bel Air / Brentwood wildfire that started on November 5, 1961 in the Bel Air community of Los Angeles."
Yes, fires happened before.
Now they happen more often and are bigger.
Is that the best you've got?
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24, 1938—(U.P.)—Eight brush fires, fanned by high, dry winds from the Nevada desert, were out of control in Southern California today after burning over 50,000 acres of land and destroying more than 600 homes.”
