The Infuriating Climate Alarm

Iain Davis

In the UK, we all know that this summer has been rubbish. We had a few weeks of glorious sunshine in June and since then it’s been bloody miserable. It’s been cold, wet and the dog has got trench-foot. Which isn’t great because he stinks at the best of times—bless him.

Yet, according to the UN Secretary General and blithering buffoon, António Guterres, we’ve entered the “era of global boiling.” Though not in the UK—or anywhere else for that matter

Just as we were during the pseudopandemic, we are once again invited to reject the evidence of our own senses and “trust” whatever we are told by the “experts,” although Guterres is not a meteorologist. Mind you, Bill Gates isn’t an epidemiologist and everyone “trusted” his “expert” opinion during the pseudopandemic, so who cares?

I know! I know! Weather isn’t climate change. While climate constantly changes, the process can only be understood through the accumulation of evidence revealing a highly complex system that is subject to radiative forcing.

It is safe to say that no one who seriously questions “climate change” alarm, denies that climate changes. What they question are the claims made by organisations like the UK Met Office:

The evidence is clear: the main cause of climate change is burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. When burnt, fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the air, causing the planet to heat up.

There isn’t one, published scientific paper, anywhere on Earth, that empirically proves that increased atmospheric CO2 precedes and causes global warming. The evidence is far from “clear.”

Climate change alarmists offer all kinds of convoluted arguments, usually by applying highly questionable statistical models, in their attempt to prove causality. Yet this very basic, empirical scientific proof is notable only for its absence.

But let’s not let scientific facts get in the way of a good story. The planet is boiling I tells ye!

Cats – wondering why human beings don’t know what to do when it’s hot.

If CO2 is the problem then the solution seems pretty simple, not to mention quite pleasant: plant as many trees as we can, wherever we can, and don’t cut them down to burn in biomass power plants that emit more CO2 than brown-coal fired power stations. But that is not a “solution” that anyone in power is interested in.

No, the proposed solution to supposed planetary vaporisation is Sustainable Development debt slavery. Which all raises a few questions about, for example, UK Met Office gibberish. It’s almost as if there’s some sort of agenda at play. Which, of course, there is.

But we’re not going rehash arguments about the climate change woo-woo Science™. There’s no point anyway. Climate change alarm is a death cult, not an exercise in intellectual honesty.

Instead, let’s look at just a few examples of obvious climate alarm tripe. As we do, we’ll also ponder why, if anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory is so sound, so-called “climate scientists” and the mainstream media—legacy media—feel the need to perpetually lie about its alleged effects.

In 2009, the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research (CRU) at the University of East Anglia, which provides much of the HadCRUT data underpinning the IPCC’s climate change models, was caught fiddling the climate data in order to “prove” AGW theory.

Scientific fraud was evident and key “climate scientists” involved were subsequently unable to provide any data to support their misleading conclusions. Something that was later proven in court. Yet still the legacy media (LM), in this instance represented by the appalling propagandists at the Guardian, manage to deny the blatant scam.

This is all irrelevant because, irrespective of the fake science, all scientists agree that the planet is being cooked like a hard boiled egg. Except the Nobel laureate physicists who don’t. Oh, and all the other scientists who don’t either.

They are not “real” scientists and therefore must be cancelled and definitely barred from explaining to the IMF that the IPCC’s modelled predictions are drivel. Global financial institutions are set to profit from “da climate Science™” and are not interested in having their plans undermined by pesky, Nobel prize winning scientists.

Gutteres’ boiling planet yarn is based upon the recent LM alarm about the Cerberus and Charon heatwaves that supposedly plagued central and southern Europe. The LM used scary colours on their maps to make sure everyone soiled themselves. As if naming the summer after mythical devil-dogs and boatmen for the dead wasn’t enough.

Reuters said ambulances had been put on standby to rescue people from the sunshine; Sky warned that the fingerprints of climate change were forcing people to “shelter from the heat;” CNN reported that the heat was at “unbearable levels” and the constantly petrified Guardian, alleging that “human-caused climate crisis is supercharging extreme weather around the world,” added:

The European Space Agency (ESA) said the next week could bring the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Europe.

While the Guardian mentioned the ESA, they neglected to report its subsequent data clarification. The ESA made it clear that they were providing satellite readings of “land surface temperatures” not the “air temperatures” that are commonly given in weather reports.

On a hot day, land surface temperatures tend to be considerably higher than air temperatures. The degree of difference varies, depending on numerous factors such as the heat absorption and radiation properties of the surface material and so on. As pointed out by the pro-climate alarm website SkepticalScience:

[. . .] on a sunny day in a heatwave, many land surfaces become hotter than the air – that’s how tarmac can melt in a sunny spot.

Contradicting themselves, and ignoring the ESA clarification completely, SkepticalScience then said that the reported air temperature high of 48.8°C on July 17th “did happen.” However, as pointed out by the genuinely sceptical Watts-Up-With-That (WUWT), this claim presents us with a major conundrum.

The LM consistently reported “air temperatures” that were the same as the ESA’s reported “land surface temperature.” The air temperature should have been notably lower, but wasn’t reported to be so.

Quite simply, that just can not be true. It is all very odd, because the actual recorded air temperatures were lower than those reported by the LM, such as the Guardian and the BBC.

This is not to say that it wasn’t very hot in southern and some parts of central Europe and the US. But the ridiculous, exaggerated LM claims that July was the hottest month in 125,000 years were unmitigated claptrap. As Kit Knightly, writing for the OffGuardian, rightly observed, there is simply no way to know this.

The University of Alabama and Hunstsville (UAH) Global Temperature Record is also a key data set for the IPCC. The UAH measures temperature anomalies and, using this measure—which is not the same as a consistent average—confirmed that July 2023 was the hottest July and the hottest single month since 1979, when satellite records began. Given, for example, that an “air temperature” anomaly of 50°C was recorded in Paris in August 1930—before satellite records began—the “hottest ever” claims don’t remotely stack up, even from an anomaly perspective, and certainly don’t constitute any evidence of the “ravages” of CO2 driven climate change.

Reports from European holiday makers that they had to avoid the midday sun, as they mingled with the crowds enjoying the lovely weather, is hardly a sign of the end-times. Noel Coward wrote the song “Mad Dogs and Englishmen,” advising people to avoid sweltering midday temperatures, in 1931. It went down well because it was funny and something people could relate to. Probably because the 1930s was the hottest decade of the 20th century.

Hell on Earth apparently. – source: https://archive.is/PDj8Y

SkepticalScience is among the climate alarm pushers who assert that the heatwave was obviously caused by climate change. As noted by James Corbett and James Even Pilato, that notion is speculative to say the least.

Both NASA and the ESA reported that the Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano eruption in January 2022 increased the amount of stratospheric water vapour by a minimum of 10%, possibly up to 30%. So vast was this expulsion of H2O that it is likely to increase average global temperatures for several years to come.

If you are looking for LM reports on the staggering global climate impact of this event, don’t bother. There aren’t any.

Instead, the BBC, for example, published an article on July 14th 2023 which spoke about the amazing expulsion of lava and ash and the spectacular associated volcanic lightning. They even linked to the NASA report which said the additional volume of atmospheric water vapour was enough to “fill the equivalent of 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools.” But the BBC propagandists couldn’t bring themselves to report the rest of the quoted NASA statement, which read:

The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.

From a global warming perspective this is kind of a big deal.

Just eleven days later—July 25th—BBC amnesiacs told the world that the European and US heatwaves would have been “near impossible” without climate change. Despite previously citing the NASA and ESA findings which clearly show this claim is totally groundless.

The BBC offered a ludicrous report from World Weather Attribution (WWA)—deceptively calling it a “study”—to supposedly “confirm” that “climate change” had increased the heatwaves by 2.5°C. Based upon nothing but LM reports and speculative computer models, the WWA report was scientifically illiterate dross that presented absolutely no evidence at all to support any of its wacky conclusions.

The  Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai eruption and the ESA spawned media “confusion,” over the difference between surface and air temperatures, was entirely ignored by the BBC as it pumped out its climate change propaganda. Rounding off its disinformation, the BBC wrote:

[. . .] increased temperatures from burning fossil fuels was the main driver in the more intense heatwaves.

A conclusion, it is worth reiterating, for which there is no evidence. The BBC’s role is to make you imagine that the evidence exists.

SkepticalScience, which isn’t sceptical enough to explore atmospheric science or check what its scientific sources really said, didn’t deem it necessary to mention any of this either. But it did ram home that anyone who questions climate alarm is a “climate denier”:

People who create and/or circulate such myths are denying plain reality. That reality is that it got extremely hot across southern Europe for a prolonged period in July 2023. Such prolonged heat is a serious health-hazard, never mind the appalling wildfires.

Aah, the wildfires!

Presumably ignited by the 40+°C heat. Or so the LM would have us believe.

Reporting the “end of the world,” the BBC were certain that the “heatwave spreading across Europe is fuelling wildfires in Portugal.” Someone should tell the Portuguese the end of the world is nigh, because comments from people in Portugal during the “catastrophic heatwave” don’t give rise to any cause for alarm.

This is all reminiscent of the climate alarm that spewed out of the LM during the Canadian wildfires in June that sent a pall of smoke across the US eastern seaboard. The New York Times said this provide us with a “grim climate lesson;” CBS said that the fires were started by lightNing caused by dry hot weather as “climate change continues to warm the planet” and the always unreliable BBC wrote “climate change increases the risk of the hot, dry weather that is likely to fuel wildfires.”

But the prize for most outstanding baloney must go to the Guardian for its unhinged piece, “Canada’s Wildfires are Part of a New Climate Reality.” Claiming that the fires were the “harbinger of our climate future” and that climate change could “double the acreage burned by wildfires each year,” the Guardian exposed itself when it revealed that its headline “new climate reality” was “sourced” from a tweet by US politician Bernie Sanders. Probably after he read a New York Times or other LM article that told him what to think.

None of these wildly inaccurate LM affirmations were remotely plausible. In a fully referenced article, weather forecaster Chris Martz, outlined the many reasons why there is no foundation for the claims that the Canadian boreal forest wildfires were, in any sense, attributable to CO2 caused “climate change:”

Headlines and armchair experts articulated with boastful confidence that the primary cause of the Canadian fires [. . .] was climate change. Despite the fact these claims are neither supported by the greater body of peer-reviewed work nor the observational record.

The actual reasons for the Canadian wildfires were the encroachment of human settlements into woodland areas—increasing the human ignition risk, decades of poor forestry management and inclement weather conditions that produced the lightning strikes which appeared to simultaneously ignite some of the fires.

Prior to the heat driven thunderstorms, Canada had been experiencing average or below average temperatures for the time of year. As Martz accurately observed:

This justifies the case that the fire weather conditions were a transient response to ongoing weather conditions which primed the environment, not a long-term pattern that could be altered by the climatic base state.

Martz reported the Canadian government’s forest burn area records from 1959 to date. Contrary to all the claims spewed out by LM disinformation agents, the records clearly show that total burn areas and fires peaked in the late 1980s. They have steadily decreased ever since. There is, once again, no correlation with increased CO2 levels nor any evidence linking the boreal wildfires to “climate change.”

Like most people who question climate alarm, Martz is concerned about the environment and recognises that the obsession with CO2 reduction does nothing to address the real environmental problems. He wrote:

Sitting on our hands and blaming climate change for every abnormal environmental event is a waste of time when our efforts would be better spent on addressing how to manage risk and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Speaking on the BBC Radio 4 programme yesterday morning, some numpty—sorry, I didn’t catch her name—claimed that the seas were boiling. Because climate change … Duh! I’m sure she is a learned numpty, but seemingly clueless nonetheless.

This followed on from the usual BBC climate bunk highlighting that Florida seawater surface temperatures had achieved 37.8°C. This, we were authoritatively informed, was all caused by climate change. The Guardian piled in to ramp up the terror. That being said, Guardian columnists also think we should end farming to save the planet, so perhaps taking the Guardians word for anything isn’t the wisest course.

Both the BBC and the Guardian had simply parroted a story fed to them by the newswires. There was no more “journalism” than that. They investigated nothing, didn’t verify anything and just published whatever they were told to publish.

The high water temperature reading was taken from just one sensor buoy in Manatee Bay, near Key Largo. Writing for WUWT, Jim Steele pointed out that the temperature reading of the same buoy had dropped to 29°C within a day. Other measurement buoys in the surrounding waters were consistently reporting much lower water temperatures. This was due to the fact that the Manatee Bay buoy floats in a sheltered, coastal “solar pond,” largely protected from cold water flows.

If CO2 propelled climate change caused the buoy reading to climb to 37.8°C, then it must have caused it to cool down again the next day. Equally, “climate change” must also be responsible for the much cooler waters surrounding Manatee Bay. This is, of course, an absurd contention. As Steele highlighted:

Clearly those water temperatures were being driven by dynamics other than rising CO2.

Clearly! So why couldn’t the LM figure that out? Are they all irretrievably stupid or is there something else going on?

As we noted earlier, weather is not climate change. Except when it’s really hot.

While it was scorching in Europe and the US, the LM regaled us with an slew of climate change fairy tales. However, as soon as the weather in the same European and US regions returned to at or below average temperatures they fell stony silent. According to LM propagandists like the Guardian, “climate change” always reverts back to weather when it is chuffin’ freezing.

Wherever we look, those who are pushing the idea that climate change threatens some sort of cataclysm just can’t stop misleading, manipulating, deceiving and propagandising. The question is why. If we accept that climate change is a concern, why do they feel the need to constantly lie about its alleged impacts?

It is never ending. Frankly, it has become infuriating. Maybe that’s the point.

Every nonsensical climate alarm story we have discussed deploys applied behavioural psychology to convince you to believe evident insanity. You are supposed to unquestioningly accept that the planet is “literally” on fire. Or, as the the UN Secretary General insists for no apparent reason, that the era of “global boiling” is upon us.

We are very close to climate lockdowns to “save the planet.” None of this has anything to do with climate change.

The only thing that is “literally” true is that the net-zero, sustainable development solution is “literal” population control. The mind-bending propaganda can only succeed if you ignore the view from your own window, which invariably reveals that it is actually pissing down.

When the farcical climate lockdowns arrive, may I suggest you dress for the weather, grab a bottle of water, and go out and enjoy yourself. What are they going to do? Lock us up in our own homes again?

I’ll see you out there.

So all those buffalo were best done away with I guess? Also we should probably all stop eating meat and eat bugs too.

Seriously though, aren’t cattle eating methane stored in the grass? Since the grass grows and dies back annually, how are cows releasing more methane than is currently in circulation?

Yes, grass-fed meat is better, from the point of view of health, and animal welfare, and nitrogen pollution, than feed-lot cattle fed on grain and soy. Moreover, free-ranging cattle, moved frequently from small paddocks, help sequester a good deal or carbon in the soil. A Win-win-win-win, if you ask me.

Re temperature, is the increasing use of digital recording devices, as opposed to old tech mercury thermometres, which are known to be subject to temporary extreme spiking, which mercury devices are not at the root of this new fear driven hysteria?
Accurate recording of temperature is itself not without its problems.

I live in British Columbia, whose main resource industry is logging. According to fire historian Steve Pynes in an article in The Epoch Times, “modern forestry and land-use practices have added proverbial fuel to the flame.” “Plantation forests are exceedingly vulnerable [to fire],” Pyne said. “It’s not just climate change. It’s changing land-use. It’s changing our economy, changing our transport systems, changing how we do logging and agriculture, and how we build our cities. All of these things are now contributing,” Pyne said.” Yet Pyne points out how there are no academic positions in North American universities dedicated solely to the study of forest fires or their history.

Yes, it is multi-factorial, and climate extremes are a factor. When you get 49 degrees Celsius in British Columbia (in Lytton, burned to ash the next day)and great swathes of boreal forest killed by the climate change driven pine bark beetle infestation, it is unhelpful to simply reject climate destabilisation as a factor.

I remember when I first started reading Off-Guardian, this is years ago, and I got in trouble for doubting the whole anthropogenic global warming nonsense. I mentioned my doubts about it but got excoriated in the comments. This was at a very early stage Off-Guardian. In particular, I mentioned that Alexander Cockburn voiced doubts about the story, and he was the guy behind Counterpunch, which was kind of Off-Guardian of the day, I don’t remember how long ago, maybe 12 years or more. The CO2 narrative was generally just accepted as true, I guess because Al Gore made his Inconvenient Truth movie, and he was kind of progressive, and Bush was hard core conservative, and that was the political climate at the time. So, reading Alexander Cockburn expressing doubts about the narrative actually led me to think more deeply about it, and then I started smelling it for the con… Read more »

The science of how such small amounts of CO2, or even smaller traces of methane, affect the climate by trapping re-radiated heat is very well established. The salient figures are the increase, from 280ppm two hundred years ago to 420 ppm and 490 ppm CO2 and equivalents, today. If you reject very basic science you are a lost cause.

You’re just parroting the same talking points that conglomerates and politicians use to justify rising costs and extra taxes.

Your hysteria is laughable when you look at how the climate has radically shifted from warm to cool and back again over the last 10,000 years.

And you know this how? We just tend to parrot narratives that reflect our already existing views.

This is a great app (the link is at the bottom) which presents alternative ‘facts’ that challenge the so-called facts constituting the rationale for the anthropogenic global warming scam. Facts are actually rational flexible things that can twisted and turned to support any narrative. How do we even know if a fact is a fact, or not? Most of us are not specialists in climatology, but some who are doubt the narrative, for example Judith Curry (https://judithcurry.com/), who is very qualified in the field.

Except, it’s NOT. The Great Barrier Reef bleached for the first time in recorded history in 1998. It has bleached six times since, with varied severity given its great extent. The last was the first in a La Nina year. The Reef Authority has reported the reefs in poor, or very poor, condition a number of times, but that has been Memory Holed so that the Reefs are not put on the UNESCO World Heritage at Risk list.
The recent ‘report’ of ‘coral recovery’ is of Acropora species colonising bleached areas, where the DIVERSITY of corals is way down. Acropora species are prone to bleaching, and La Nina is coming. Meanwhile, in the Caribbean and adjacent seas there is a massive bleaching, ongoing at present.

Come back when you have room to squeeze geoengineering into your article. That’ll help clarify some of the disparity between what one binary says and what the other binary says. Like the aluminum nanoparticles filtering down and covering trees, which coaxes forests to burn much hotter than they did some 75 years ago before the engineering of the climate began, besides causing more heat lightening. Or the depletion of the ozone layer by the same aluminum nanoparticles, which allows UVC rays to filter down to the ground, increasing the heat factor and making the sun’s rays truly a danger to behold, not to mention making it difficult to impossible (depending on the location) for tree saplings to survive beyond their first year. Or the heat trapping properties of the sky cover created by the chemtrails, which keeps the heating of the day from escaping, thus raising nighttime temperatures, which have… Read more »

This article is about legacy media propaganda. Pointing out that there is no proof that any of the weather events we have incessantly “reportd” to us have any evident link to “climate change,” despite all the propaganda making that assertion.

The RAND has quite a few articles on geoengineering (climate mitigation/control technologies); they are described as “emerging technologies”, and are used and planned to be used to mitigate sun radiation/CO2 levels. Notice the videos on this piece are a year old; they have only 15 and 82 views. What’s commonly known as chemtrails is perfectly acknowledged under the title “Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) involving spraying inorganic particles (e.g., sulfur dioxide) into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight”. (See Climate Control link). “Climate alarm” is becoming a new value and new motive for investment so long as it is believed by the public to be settled science. It isn’t, as serious dissent still remains. Those who have to abandon traditional business and invest in these technologies and new energies must be assured that there is more profit to be made. That’s why any policy “recommendations” the IPCC will come up with must… Read more »

Reforestation is definitely a task that should be undertaken, globally, with expedition. We need a few TRILLION more trees. We also need some mechanical means to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, we need the urban heat island effect attacked, with white roofs and buildings, reflective road services and urban trees and other plants increased as much as possible.Once the warming, amplified in high latitudes, causes methane clathrate emissions, we will NOT be able to reverse a ‘wet hot-house Earth’ mass extinction.

“There is an eerie convergence in academic and media commentary between ‘public health’ policies in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic and policies to address climate change. Bruno Latour argues that unprecedented state control and surveillance of citizens in their homes, meetings and movements, are needed to address climate change. This claim rests on two assumptions. The first is that reducing carbon emissions is the way to address the modest increase in global temperatures since 1850 despite the failure of this approach to impact either atmospheric carbon or global warming. The second is that forcibly destroying the creative agencies of billions of people is good for human health and good for the health of the planet. Against the suppression of the agency of ordinary people in Covid-19 as a ‘solution’ to climate change I argue that ecological and climate crises can only be turned around when people, and other creaturely… Read more »

Great post.

Wikipedia calls SAI a “proposed” technology (LOL) – anybody who has looked up at the sky in the last 30 years knows that it’s been happening since at least 1995.

Also deserving of a mention wrt the “environment scam” is the WWF – the World Wide Fund for Nature.
Founded by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (who also helped to found the Bilderberg Group) it has been dispossessing indigenous peoples from their land since 1961, establishing “Nature Reserves” policed by mercenaries, including former SAS troopers.

“Net Zero’, what does it mean? Does anyone know? Who dreamt-up this slogan? Put together, these two words don’t actually have any meaning. ‘Net’ is usually used as a shortened form of ‘netto’ (netto/brutto) a term used in accountancy describing a sum of money remaining after tax or expenses have been deducted. So what could ‘Net Zero’ possibly mean? That nothing will be left once zero carbon has been achieved? The term seems to ape, no doubt for good reason, the one chosen to describe the blackened hole in the ground left after the devastation of 9/11: Ground Zero. Look at it this way, by reducing carbon dioxide to nil (zero carbon) all plant life dependent for its growth on this natural gas, will die. By extension, all humans and animals dependent upon the oxygen that plants produce, via the conversion of carbon dioxide into oxygen, will also die. Basic… Read more »

If you see houses in hot climates, they are often painted white. White surfaces reflect sunlight, lowering the temperature of the house. Dark surfaces absorb heat, useful in high latitudes, but not in hot summers. Having trees shade houses helps, too.

Of course, had we thought about those ‘Extreme Weather Events’ (ewes) we’d have noticed the mugginess occurred annually only when Summer was segueing into Autuum…

Naturally; because water vapour produces clouds and cloud cover shades the Earth by reflecting the Sun’s rays back into outer space; says one of those eminent physicists whom Ian Davis mentions but the Con-MSM choose to ignore.

Clouds also cause rain, so all that water vapour from the volcano might account for England’s wet summer. Or it might not — what do we really know?.

Thanks for the reminder Nick M. I think from the false point of view of the propagandists, water vapor is still a “greenhouse gas” that RAISES temperature.

‘England’s wet summer’? Goodness me. What about 2012, 2007 … or 1961 for that matter?

I don’t remember all the summers, just a few notably good and bad ones going back to 1959 which was apparently the longest summer of the past century though not the warmest. That was 1976, unless we now have honest statistics to show that June-July-August of 2022 was warmer than these three months of 1976.

When I was a kid I think we got about 3 shots. Everybody got measles, mumps and chickenpox and everybody thought that these “childhood diseases” built up your immune system. One of the most notable things about the 50s is that there were nearly NO fat kids. We didn’t exercise more (there were scarcely any girls’ sports), mothers made baked goods, and no one counted carbs. We ate enormous quantities of butter, natural lard and beef fat in those baked goods & other recipes. Certainly there was a small percentage of middle-aged people who were a LITTLE plump. I think the overweight comes from the antibiotics fed to the food animals; they kill healthier parts of the gut microbiome, leaving only the parts that excel in turning carbs to fat; that’s why they’re given to the animals!

Trees sequester CO₂ naturally, and dirt cheap, via photosynthesis. Yet ‘enterprising’ organisations like Australia’s now wokified CSIRO want to spend millions from taxpayer revenue on Heath Robinson style projects to remove CO₂ from the air and force it underground for artificial carbon sequesterisation. Artificial carbon sequestration, like any Heath Robinson project is an elaborate way to potentially spend endless amounts of money to achieve a simple solution. Instead spend the money on trees: that’s what they are designed for.

What about methane. When you try to write an all-inclusive article, you might want to mention all the methane gushing out of every fracking site in the world, out of the permafrost, and out of pipelines, and out of all sorts of other sources.

WEF’s summer capital, Tianjin next to Beijing was more effective than Davos. 1984 as a manual. We all hunker for the good old days of Fixed Climates, when you could rely on your weather and predictions were 100% spot on. Siberia, Canada and Alaska were luckily frozen solid most of the time, like the mountains- don’t call it the Little Ice Age!.

There is no climate change. There are ionospheric heaters changing/manipulation/creating weather. The earth is heating up due in part to anthropomorphic causes but more to do with on going geo engineering (spraying) that traps more heat in during the night than is reflected out during the day. It’s all to do with weather warfare. GeoengineeringWatch.org.

But we have to define what is what. Weather is as weather as always has been. But what we call clima change is false weather. Manipulated weather or Pentagon weather.

We have the lines in the sky, so we know they are manipulating the sky, say geo-engineering. We know CO2 is bs.

So the financiers and their military are doing globally all kinds of falsehoods, corona, weather, joos, currency, stock, food, libor, gold, you name it manipulations.

So what you see is false manipulated weather and/or nature.

“Our weather is being controlled”. Um, no. You do realize that is a severe over reaction don’t you, or just not worded correctly. Maybe, some of our weather is being manipulated, or modified as you said at the beginning of your comment, but that statement says, “our weather is being controlled”, which is way different and indicates ALL weather for the entire planet. That’s just not the case and is fear porn in its own right.

Check out this 2005 bullshit article how weather modification will be used to lesson severity of the weather. https://www.space.com/1725-military-weather.html or you can think about what LBJ said and how he said it https://archive.org/details/he-who-controls-the-weather-will-control-the-world-lyndon-b-johnson You can perceive that “our weather” means the whole world all at once at one time. No I don’t think the climate (temp, precipitation, etc.) of the whole world can be controlled but each locality can be (but not everywhere at once) hence our weather. When they do modify the weather somewhere, it changes the weather everywhere else on earth at least a little bit, that is why they can’t the control all the weather at one… Read more »

Mate, the whole of Europe had high pressures sitting for 6 -12 weeks, three years in a row, in the winters of 1988, 1989 and 1990.

Western Europe had similar for three months in the summer of 1976.

Do you think that those events were geoengineered?

Are you open to the possibility that the three large planet conjunction event involving Saturn, Uranus and Neptune at the end of the 1980s/beginning of the 1990s might have been a part of it?

Local engineering is much easier to prove than continent-wide high pressures.

Same with Australia. I took a 100 year interactive map of the weather in the weather extreme Australia.

I have no idea about those events but I think they can do it, and a few years back in February when I was on the southeast coast of Portugal in the morning it was plane after spray plane all flying south in the sky. Literally there was at least one visible spray plane flying at all times sometimes up to four were visible. In the afternoon they returned flying northward. I was astounded never saw such a thing. Consistent daily. If you don’t think they can make a stagnant high pressure ridge, I suggest you look at the NOAA Goes satellite on a regular basis. https://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/west/ Especially if their is a stagnant high pressure ridged formed. They have many different types of radar and you can look specifically at different levels of clouds.

Many of my friends, especially farmer and biologist/naturalist friends, have said the exact same thing to me over the years. I get it they don’t want the weather being modified, scares them too much to think that it could happen. I know when its cloudy at night its generally warmer than when it clear at night. Its that simple. In one place, make the sky cloudy in the day, clear at night and you have cooled down the local average temperature. I have seen them do it many times. Yes they can’t make it cloudy all day clear at night everywhere at once, that is not possible.

Well, are you aware of the HAARP technology? This was designed specifically to mimic the action of solar emissions on the ionosphere up above us. Concentrated pulses of electromagnetic radiation of frequencies analagous to solar emissions sent from Alaska and other places to heat up the ionosphere in defined ways.

Humanity knows full well that when major flares exit the sun in the direction of earth, there will be downstream effects on global weather.

HAARP will very likely be doing exactly the same.

How well they can tune these things nowadays, you would have to torture military personnel to find out. Or find a mole/whistleblower to smuggle out key documents/computer files to provide the evidence in more concrete form.

They’re not doing it to ‘win wars’. They’re doing it to rig commodities futures prices – along with the organised crime syndicates in Chicago and Wall Street.

You get prior heads up that the military will deliberately destroy some crops using a weather event, you place bets and win millions if not billions.

Oh, and Blackrock and Vanguard et al want to take over all food production, so they want small farmers wiped out. Military actions help them in that goal.

The enemy for the US military is ordinary farmers, it’s not ‘Iran’, ‘Afghanistan’ or ‘Russia’.

The global climate system is chaotic. When you inject VAST amounts of energy into such a chaotic system, and we are doing so at the rate of several Hiroshima bombs per second, you are going to cause increased chaos. That is why it is best described as ‘destabilisation’ in a system that required the relative stability of the Holocene for human civilization to arise. As positive feed-backs eg loss of high latitude albedo, melting permafrost leaking CO2 and methane, increasing megafires, increased soot falling on white snow and ice, quickening melting, decrease in global dimming as particulate smogs are reduced, and, the Biggy, destabilised submarine methane clathrates, we will go into a ‘wet hot-house’ Earth, and that’s NOT good.
