You clearly don't understand what the phrase "burying one's head in the sand" means.

There are none so blind as to those who refuse to see.
Why do you think I would refuse to see anything? Why would I be any less concerned about our basic existence as humans than say you or Frankie?
I've read a lot and watched a lot on this topic. I understand two important points about climate - one that it functions chaotically not linearly and two, that it has changed rapidly in the past without human's emitting co2. I also understand the importance of fossil fuels to our standard of living.

Totally right. Just ask the people in Florida.

Yes because they've never had to endure a category 3-5 hurricane in the past. I guess they're called the Miami Hurricanes out of sheer fluke :rolleyes:

Brace Yourself For An Onslaught Of Category 5 Climate Lies



We’re about halfway through the 2023 hurricane season, predicted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters to be a near-normal year, and it’s been rather quiet. [NOAA updated its forecast to above-normal on Aug. 10. –CCD Ed.]

But with a few storms brewing this week in the Atlantic, we expect to hear the usual shrieking from politicians, activists, and the media, blaming the weather on man-caused climate change. [emphasis, links added]



Our suggestion is to pay no attention to the eco-screamers’ lamentations.

On Sunday, the National Hurricane Center issued advisories for a hurricane and a tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean and an advisory for a tropical storm in the Eastern Pacific.

Of the three, the Atlantic storm Idalia seems to be the most dangerous. It could make landfall as a hurricane on the Gulf Coast of Florida on Wednesday.

That could mean a life-changing disaster for thousands of Floridians. The climatistas, though, see opportunity in crisis. They never let a serious calamity go to waste.


Before the weekend was over, the press was linking Idalia to “climate change,” which is of course code for “man-made global warming,” as if there had never been a hurricane before humans began burning fossil fuels.

The alarmist community has long insisted that weather is not the same as climate any time anyone ever pointed to mild summers and colder-than-usual winters as evidence that the global warming theory was bunk.

But when it’s convenient for spreading fear, the same crowd takes isolated weather events and claims they are evidence that human activity is warming the planet.

Even in 2023, truth is still important to some of us, and the facts show that the global warming zealots are false prophets.

Inconvenient to their con are data that show that death and destruction from climate-related disasters have fallen sharply over the last century.

Annual fatalities from floods, droughts, wildfires, storms, and extreme temperatures have tumbled by nearly 98% over that era, from nearly 500,000 in the early 1920s to fewer than 12,000 in 2022.

The details don’t fit the narrative, but when did that ever matter to the political left that continues to feed the fiction that man is setting his planet on fire?

Going back more than 100 years, we can see from the data that today’s hurricane activity, defined as a hurricane making landfall in the continental U.S., is roughly the same as it was at the turn of the previous century.




As author Michael Shellenberger says, the media have “lied about hurricanes,”lied about heat waves,” “lied about floods,” and of course “all they do is lie about fires.”




The climate mob has also lied about snowfall, polar ice, polar bears, the temperature record, and the reliability of their warming models.

In fact, members of the climate cult lie, exaggerate, embellish, and misinform nearly every time they move their lips. It’s their nature.

They’ve been coached to overstate the global warming argument so that the public will be frightened enough to buy into the apocalyptic version of events.

In the minds of the climate clerisy, “information manipulation has an instrumental value,” which means the truth is buried in favor of propaganda.

Remember this while taking in the media coverage for the remainder of the hurricane season.

Nice try but hurricane Idalia is the strongest storm to hit that region in more than 125 years.

Even if you think its a chaotic system you must understand when you add more heat to such a system.
More chaos.

We are at present adding the equivalent of 4 Hiroshimas every second to the planets climate.
That's a lot more chaos.

Its still August and I woke up to 12C this morning. Had to turn the heat on.
Aside from 2 hot weeks in July we had another regular summer in Toronto

Lets see if we have another normal winter this year, or if it'll be warmer

Perhaps look up the difference between weather and climate.

So when Trudeau claimed this years Canadian wild fires were result of climate change, he is also wrong then??

Frog in the pot.

We had a cool summer this year which is likely because of a combo of El Nino and the AMOC slowdown which threatens to be a shutdown.
You really should google AMOC shutdown.

It is incredible how the righties love to always go against scientists and experts in their field.

COVID- doesn't exist
Climate change- hoax
Vaccine doesn't work
Masks don't work
Mass Shootings are not because of too many guns and gun culture
Putin is not a madman but a decent guy
Jordan Peterson isn't a grifter
Andrew Tate isn't a bad guy

COVID- doesn't exist I have never said that
Climate change- hoax I have always claimed global warming its exaggerated and no big deal. I never used the word hoax though.
Vaccine doesn't work I have never said that. Vaccines worked well against Delta variant, not so much against Omicron
Masks don't work You at least got that one right 😀
Mass Shootings are not because of too many guns and gun culture Gun violence in the US is more of a cultural thing. Canada has lots of guns as well but very few mass shootings
Putin is not a madman but a decent guy I never claimed that. I've been pro-Ukraine from day 1
Jordan Peterson isn't a grifter What does that mean??
Andrew Tate isn't a bad guy Still to be determined. Innocent till proven guilty, remember??
Fixed your post

If will be called climate change if winter turns out to be
abnormally cold or called warming otherwise.

Warming or no warming turn off air-conditioning after
August to help cut back emission to save the climate.
We must not shy away from virtue signalling. Canada
is among the green leaders of the world.
