RUSSIA, UKRAINE, CHINA and COVID-19: Food Supply Crisis and Economic Collapse Imminent as Beating War Drums Get Louder, See and Understand the Larger Picture

By Political Moonshine on May 2, 2022

02 May 22

Saturday marked the end of a nearly two-week period spent on a relative’s rural Tennessee property with no internet, no news, no research, no writing, no anything of the sort; just plenty of time playing cowboy lending a hand with the cattle on the property and enjoying the simplicity of country life. It was good for both mind and soul. I was even fortunate enough to escape to northwestern Arkansas to stomp around my grandparent’s old home in the Ozarks and do some trout fishing on the White River. I hadn’t been there in 35 years and was fortunate enough to catch a couple. Upon returning, one thing was very clear – we are right on schedule in Barack Obama’s third term [1] [2] [3] and it has us on the brink of designed collapse and destruction.

Unless Americans unite, assume personal risk to actually fight back and begin that fight, it’s all over, folks. We already have one foot around a corner from which we’ll never return.

Give pause to think back to December 30, 2019. That was the eve of the first newscast claiming a viral outbreak in China. It was a desperate time for the cabal of Globalists, their bought-and-paid-for political class and a cartel of evil that had failed to impeach President Trump. The corruption was being largely exposed; including the MSM. The economy was strong. Employment was strong; especially for women and minorities. The southern border was secure with progress towards human and drug trafficking. America was energy independent. Inflation did not exist. Food was plentiful. Fuel was reasonable. Russia was stable. Ukraine was a lesser matter. North Korea was stable. Iran was isolated. China was on the ropes. Peace was at hand.

The next day changed the world and it served as the impetus for everything from that point and forward to the present: a summer of rioting, burning and murder; medical tyranny as the mechanism to usher in Marxist communism; the controlled demolition of small business; families locked down in their homes; schools and business shuttered; addiction, overdose and death rates exploded; mandates for masks that were known not to work and which will never work; mandated human genetic experimentation dressed-up as “vaccines” and serving as literal bioweapons, just like the virus they were touted to prevent; a stolen election; a proxy regime; an entrapment scheme against conservatives exercising their First Amendment rights at the U.S. Capitol; an open southern border with unprecedented illegal immigration; a devastating withdrawal from Afghanistan that handed it over to China; manufactured conflict and war with Russia over Ukraine and soon to be China over Taiwan and the South China Sea; rampant and unprecedented inflation; skyrocketing prices for food, fuel and other critical goods; manufactured supply chain problems; a manufactured global food crisis to facilitate starving a global population; the introduction of a new virus to continue medical tyranny; and the obvious implementation of what I have branded the global plantation.

In consideration of the above image, there is a reason the illegitimate Biden Administration facilitated over 1 million illegal aliens crossing the southern border in the regime’s first year in office, which represents Obama’s ninth.

If Americans continue down the path of being abjectly un-American while remaining afraid to assume personal risk to actually fight back in unity, we’ll all be living on that global plantation and no one will come to save us. Today is day 121 of year 3 of “flatten the curve” for 2 weeks. Let that sink in for a moment. It doesn’t get any more un-American than that.

This website contains exclusive articles and videos numbering in the 300-range that entirely evidence and explain the COVID-19 “pandemic” in its true form – a construct of enterprise fraud – and yet here we are nearing the midpoint of its third year. As the narrative shreds at the seams and the fear of SARS-CoV-2 loses its oomph and luster, most are catching on but it’s not enough; not even close. “These people” never quit but rather they simply shift gears. This is evident in new developments.

The two dead horses I kick most often are simple ones to comprehend: 1-COVID-19 is never going away and 2-these people will never stop until they are made to stop. Read the former relative to medical tyranny and not necessarily the virus underpinning it because the virus can and will be switched-out at will. Consider this from Becker’s Hospital Review as posted at Zero Hedge,

A Colorado man has tested positive for an H5 bird flu virus, the first such case in the U.S., health officials said April 28.
The Colorado health department said the man, who is younger than 40, had been working on a commercial farm with poultry that, according to the CDC, was presumably infected with H5N1.
He reported fatigue as his only symptom and is now in isolation and being treated with the flu antiviral drug oseltamivir.
It’s unclear whether the exposure resulted in an infection, according to statements from the health agencies. Officials from the Colorado health department said a positive test result came from a single nasal specimen. The CDC confirmed that result April 27, though it said repeat testing has been negative.
Becker’s Hospital Review at Zero Hedge

“Because the person was in close contact with infected poultry, the virus may have been present in the person’s nose without causing infection,” the Colorado health department said. The CDC said whether the positive test was the result of “surface contamination of the nasal membrane” cannot be determined now.
“The appropriate public health response at this time is to assume this is an infection and take actions to contain and treat,” the CDC said, adding risk to the general public remains low.
CDC

Do you remember how COVID-19 was unpacked on us? Cue this video up to 4:26 and it will become immediately obvious relative to the CDC’s claims about bird flu and that the “risk to the general public remains low.” We’re in rinse/repeat mode. Just watch.

The takeaway is that these people never ask you to go from A to Z in one step but rather and in accordance to the tenets of psychological warfare, they usher the sheep along incrementally by moving through every stop in between – B through Y – on the way from A to Z.

A low risk for the general public, the CDC says. They said the same about SARS-CoV-2. You know what they say about those who fail to learn history; especially the contemporary variety of it.

It’s both plausible and reasonable to consider that bird flu will play out exactly as COVID-19 did and medical tyranny is here to stay. Dead horse kicked.

In social media post’s at Telegram and Gab, I put it like this,

Respective to the above post on the stolen 2020 election: Rarely do “they” leverage a crisis for a singular purpose – far from it. Crises devised to sow fear and chaos are always multifaceted. COVID generally served to 1-steal an election, 2- install a proxy regime, 3-implement medical tyranny as the mechanism to implement the global plantation and 4-to attack the populace with multiple bioweapons [SARS-CoV-2 and the injections].
H5N1 “bird flu” will:
1-Replace COVID as the justification for continued medical tyranny
2-Serve as justification to slaughter chickens writ large
3-Exacerbate the planned and unfolding food shortage crisis
4-Serve as the rational for a new slate of mRNA injections
We’re in rinse/repeat mode now.
Political Moonshine

Considerations for the multifaceted aspect of introducing a bird flu should be blatantly obvious in light of what I outlined here, but we’ll delineate them anyways for posterity’s sake. The introduction of H5N1 permits the NIH/CDC/WHO/UN cartel to simply switch-out the failing COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 basis and narrative underpinning medical tyranny. This permits them to extend the enterprise fraud construct for the foreseeable future with a new “boogeyman” to sow fear, panic and chaos. Moreover, it’s a direct compliment and a utilitarian component to the other nefarious strategy in play – collapsing the global food supply and facilitating global starvation. A bird flu gives them the impetus to slaughter chickens writ large. Everything they do is multifaceted and hardly any of it serves a singular purpose. In other words, they prefer duct tape and Bondo approaches that do it all.

The evidence for these positions is abundant.

This is from the Western Standard as found at Zero Hedge and enumeration has been added,

1-Food shortages have been exacerbated by a string of fires, plane crashes and explosions at nearly two dozen food processing facilities across Canada and the US.
2-The most recent happened on Thursday in Georgia when a small plane crashed shortly after takeoff into a General Mills plant just east of Atlanta. Two occupants of the plane were killed in the crash, as reported by the New York Post.
3-A massive fire on Monday night destroyed parts of the Azure Standard Headquarters in Oregon, a company that self-describes as “the USA’s largest independent food distributor.”
4-Last Thursday, firefighters contended with a massive blaze at Taylor Farms packaged salad plant in Salinas, Calif. — a key agricultural region 177 km south of San Francisco. The fire broke out late Wednesday night, as reported by KTLA.
5-That same day, an airplane crashed into Idaho’s Gem State Processing facility — a plant said to process 18,000 acres worth of potatoes each year. The pilot of the plane did not survive, however, no employees were injured, reported Vision Times.
6-On April 13, firefighters from several departments in Maine helped battle a massive fire that destroyed East Conway Beef & Pork butcher shop and meat market in Center Conway, N.H.
7-In March, KAIT TV reported a major fire that forced the closure of the Nestle plant in Jonesboro, Ark. The plant makes frozen foods, particularly Hot Pockets.
8-The Penobscot McCrum potato processing facility in Belfast, Maine, was also destroyed by fire in March. Officials believe a deep-fryer was behind the fire, as reported by ABC affiliate WMTW News 8.
9-In Canada, fire crews and paramedics responded after an explosion at the Centre de valorisation de l’aliment de l’Estrie, an industrial food preparation and processing facility in Sherbrooke, Que. Five people were injured in the March explosion that turned into a major fire.
10-And, in late March, a fire at the Maricopa Food Pantry, a food bank in Arizona, saw 50,000 pounds worth of food burn up and yet another blaze at the Texas-based Rio Fresh severely damaged the onion processing facility.
11-In February, a portion of Wisconsin River Meats was destroyed by fire, according to Channel 3000 News. The Mauston-based company said the “old portion” of its plant was a total loss from the fire.
12-Another fire in February, sparked by a boiler explosion at a potato chip plant south of Hermiston, Ore., sent several people to hospital with minor injuries. The Shearer’s Food plant, as reported by The Oregonian, supplies much of the Western US with potato and corn chips.
13-A third fire in February caused the Louis Dreyfus Company’s Claypool, Ind., soybean processing and biodiesel plant — the largest fully integrated soybean processing plant in the US — to suspend production. Thankfully no injuries were reported.
14-A blaze at a poultry processing plant in the Hamilton region of Ontario in January caused extensive damage, but caused no injuries. The multiple-alarm fire, as reported by Global News, will cost millions in repairs.
15-Firefighters responded to a fire in January at the Cargill-Nutrena plant in Lecompte, La. The fire took more than 12 hours to put out, as reported by KALB-TV, an NBC/CBS/CW-affiliated television station.
16-A fire in December caused more than $100,000 in damages to a San Antonio food processing plant. KTSA-107.1 reported there were no injuries as a result of the fire.
17-In late November, a fire engulfed the Maid-Rite Steak Co. food processing plant in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, as reported by ABC affiliate news station WNEP . The cause of the fire was ruled an accident.
18-A fire in mid-September at the JBS USA beef processing plant in Grand Island, Neb. halted operations in the facility that typically processes about 6,000 head of cattle daily.
19-Another raging fire in August of 2021 severely damaged the Patak Meat Production company in Austell, Ga., as reported by Channel 2 Action News in Atlanta.
20-In July, Firefighters battled a large fire at the River Valley Ingredients plant in Hanceville, Al. The cause of the fire, as reported at the time by NBC affiliate WVTM-TV, was unknown.
21-Another July fire at the Kellogg factory in Memphis, Tenn. was determined to be an accident and no injuries were reported. Dozens of crews were called in to help fight the fire due to the brutal heat, reported Fox 13 Memphis.
22-The cause of a fire in April 2021 at the Smithfield Foods plant in Monmouth, Ill., was unknown, according to WGIL-93.7FM in Galesburg.
23-Although a fire in January 2021 destroyed meat manufacturer and packager Deli Star’s production facility in Fayetteville, Ill., as of February 2022, it has opened a new plant in St. Louis. Longview News-Journal reported in January police did not consider the fire suspicious.
Western Standard

I’m sure that’s all merely circumstantial; just by happenstance, if you will.

Compounding the food processing plant fires and as reported in the last article in this series, we find this unthinkable and plausibly catastrophic policy decision from the illegitimate Biden Administration that prevents U.S. railroads from shipping fertilizer to farmers during the critical spring growing season; recalling that the U.S. is the world’s leading exporter of food. This image comes from the article:

In full exacerbation of the above relative to the designed global food shortage, now consider this headline from Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.us as sourced at Zero Hedge: Food Shortages In Six Months – The Globalists Are Telling Us What Happens Next. From it, we get this with the author’s emphasis left in place,

A week ago there was a torrent of press releases from global institutions all mentioning the same exact same concern: Food shortages within the next 3 to 6 months. These statements line up very closely with my own estimates, as I have been warning regularly about impending dangers of inflation leading to food rationing and supply chain disruptions.
The IMF, the BIS, World Bank, The UN, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Economic Forum, Bank of America and even Biden himself are all predicting a major food crisis in the near term, and it is not a coincidence that the policies of these very institutions and the actions of puppet politicians that work with them are causing the crisis they are now predicting. That is to say, it’s easy to predict a disaster when you created the disaster.
Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.us

Write this down and take it to the bank – there will be a food shortage crisis in the 3-6 months to come because it’s as planned-out as the enterprise fraud construct that people mistakenly call the “COVID-19 pandemic.” In fact, it’s already unfolding on us as evidenced above and elsewhere.

Further and from the same Smith piece, consider this as I directly embed, link and position it with our other Moonshine positions and predictions from long ago that continue to age like fine wine. The author’s emphasis is left in place.

Lockdowns have resulted in food shortages across the country as supply chains become strained and manufacturing remains shut in many cases. The story many westerners are not hearing much about, though, is the fact that Chinese exports have essentially been frozen. This is very important so I think it needs emphasis – Over 1 IN 5 container ships IN THE WORLD are now backed up in Chinese ports due to their covid lockdowns. This is incredible.
Why would China do this over a virus we all know is not dangerous to the vast majority of people? Why institute the worst lockdown in the country so far and starve their own people when the majority of Western governments have now given up on their pandemic fear mongering and the forced vaccination agenda?
I would suggest the possibility that China might already be engaging in an economic war that many Americans and Europeans don’t even realize is going on. This may be a beta test for a shut down of exports to the US and Europe, or it is an incremental shutdown that is meant to become permanent. The bottleneck on trade may also be a precursor to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.us

The multiple-front war scenario for which this is the 39th article in a series of recent analysis; with existing work on the topic preceding this series, involves Russia over Ukraine and China over Taiwan and the South China Sea. Critically, this position wasn’t reported at Moonshine per se, but rather it was PREDICTED based upon logical deduction and open source analysis that draws back to at least March 2021.

Another aggravating circumstance for this disastrous multiple-front war scenario as submitted to Moonshine by one of the team members at Marco Polo is found in this headline: US weapon stockpiles worry some lawmakers as Ukraine war rages on. From it, consider,

The prospect of arming Ukraine for a protracted war with Russia raised concerns among some senators on Tuesday that repeated raiding of U.S. weapon stockpiles and slow replenishment could leave the American military empty-handed.
Shipments to Ukraine of weapons such as Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles have cut into the Pentagon’s inventory by about one-third, according to estimates by some lawmakers and experts during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
Restocking them will likely take several years, they said.
Stars and Stripes

Fighting one war is a substantial endeavor. Fighting one war with depleted munitions is something entirely different. Fighting a global war on two fronts against Russia in one theater and against China in another theater is yet even more problematic. Fighting Russia and China in two separate theaters with depleted munitions is disastrously suicidal. Even worse, this is all by design.

Our positions derived from the COVID-19 work and enveloped Cloward-Piven strategy and the unfolding global food shortage crisis. Smith sees it the same and provides the nexuses to embed it altogether as we have done. The critical marker here is the food crisis tying to trade, which becomes the precursor to the Taiwan invasion I predicted long ago and long before Putin made any incursion into Ukraine. As I continue to state, when the pieces fit so precisely together, it means the analysis is on the mark.

Latched onto Taiwan as the critical marker, consider the following development. As you do, hold onto this imperative detail derived from and delineated in my analysis: the U.S. and Russia are positioned to go hot in Ukraine; and once that occurs, Xi Jinping and China will move on Taiwan with that being projected to occur in August with the door cracked for it being sooner or later. Factor in the fertilizer and food shortage components on the August timeline, which is prime growing season with the fall harvest just around the corner. Here is the headline found at Zero Hedge: House Republican Introduces Bill To Give Biden Sweeping Authorities To Wage War In Ukraine.

Consider the implications of this development: The war with Russia in Ukraine is the catalyst to trigger war with China over Taiwan and I’ve stacked perhaps a thousand or more pages evidencing that Joe Biden is China’s proxy. This permits China to yank Biden’s string on command and compromised, corrupt and treasonous Adam Kinzinger is working to give Biden unilateral authority to trigger war in Ukraine. This means China can goad the U.S. into war with itself over Taiwan however and whenever it wants.

Now consider that in every single instance the Department of Defense gamed-out, the U.S. is positioned to lose a hot war with China over Taiwan. It was so bad that the DoD’s only remedy was to quit the gaming exercise altogether. Moreover and during that loss, the U.S. will also be fighting on a second and preceding front against Russia in Ukraine. Ask the Germans how a second war front worked out for them beginning on 06 Jun 44.

Compounding the projected multiple-front war in August will be the evidenced food crisis that is sure to be exacerbated by a fuel crisis. Not surprisingly, the analysis into the fuel crisis has it scheduled to arrive on the same summer [August] timeline. This is what Biden/Harris is delivering on China’s behalf.

As I continue to evidence, the U.S. has been positioned for a designed loss. Even worse and more recently, the DoD reversed its own previous March 2021 position by stating that the U.S. is capable of fighting multiple war fronts specifically citing Russia over Ukraine and China over Taiwan. Again, the U.S. has been positioned for a predetermined loss whereby the treaty process stewarded by the U.N. will deliver America to her enemies.

Now consider this development that ought to raise the hair on the back of your neck. Nancy Pelosi just returned from a secret trip to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky. What are the chances that war details were discussed? 100% for my nickel. 100% based upon the evidence on hand.

On 09 Feb 20, I wrote the first evidenced article that made good on previous work from January identifying COVID-19 as a construct of enterprise fraud. On 06 May 20 and just a few short months after the enterprise fraud construct of COVID-19 was unpacked on us, I said something that no one else anywhere to be found had stated – we’re in an asymmetrical, irregular and undeclared war with China that aligns with its stated and preferred warfare vector – biowarfare – that also entirely aligns with Chinese doctrine. It made President Trump a wartime president. I researched my own work to vet my positions and analysis against the work of others who may have been reporting the same and I did this for months and months. It did not exist. The work stood alone and was exclusive in all of the most important ways. Now look around you. More important than being exclusive was the laser-like accuracy found in the analysis. Look around you. That last fact fully explains why I was immediately booted from Twitter and Youtube and why every single media outlet and individual that I contacted to share the work ignored me and refused to engage or consider what I offered them; including multiple attempts to Tucker Carlson [1] [2] and my efforts in texting my work directly to his personal cell number. Like all else, it went entirely unanswered. Crickets.

Collectively, everything I’ve outlined here will be further exacerbated by a projected collapse of the economy and this is according to insight from one of my sources, who beat all of Wall St. for two consecutive years in the most cutthroat and aggressive Wall St. domain. The full spectrum of sown destruction and chaos will further serve as the mechanisms to outright steal the 2022 midterms in a desperate last effort to maintain this cartel of evil and its firm grip on oppressive and tyrannical power. The projections on the multiple-front war situate August as the month that Xi Jinping and China move on Taiwan and it will be preceded by Russia and the U.S. going hot in Ukraine. Therefore, don’t be surprised if the 2022 midterm elections are circumvented altogether and no elections are held at all as justified by more unilaterally determined “emergencies” that are justified by the constructed crises used to predicate them. Cloward-Piven bears down with full might.

Moreover and respective to “emergencies” and the continuance of medical tyranny as a primary societal control mechanism devised to circumvent regular constitutional governance, we have two last developments that factor. In short, they make the analysis so damn easy: Why Is CDC Trying To Put A Mask On Your Face Again?; Dr. Birx Says US Must Prepare for Summer COVID Virus Surge Just Prior to 2022 Election.

Democrats Live In A Different World by Mike Pasqua

By: Derek Hunter Democrats Live In A Different World

It is difficult to overstate just how out of touch Democrats are with reality right now. When you’re as unpopular as they are it makes sense – you can’t admit reality, it’s too depressing, so you create a new one in your head. That’s a survival mechanism everyone has employed, to one degree or another, and at some point in their lives for short periods, and it’s perfectly normal. What isn’t normal is how Democrats have constructed this fantasy world and appear to live in it all the time.

I don’t know how you can watch Joe Biden stumble and bumble his way through the State of the Union Address and think he is well. Either he referred to the Ukrainian people as “Iranians” or “Urainians,” with neither option being good because what’s left of his brain didn’t notice whatever it was that came out of his mouth. A normal, healthy person will make mistakes, verbal gaffes, but our brains notice and we correct ourselves almost immediately. That does not happen with Joe Biden. He is so married to the teleprompter and going off script that he pays no attention to the words.

The media, naturally, ignored most of the gaffes because covering for their President is second nature to them. But it wasn’t just what he screwed up saying that was the problem, the parts of the speech he read accurately were just as disturbing.

“One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make people poorer,” Joe said. “I think I have a better idea to fight inflation: lower your costs, not your wages.” This is just one example of something that makes zero sense. None. It was not called out by anyone.

Over on MSNBC, one exchange between Stephanie Ruhle (who doesn’t get the credit she deserves as one of the dumbest people on cable news, probably because of misogyny) and former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, one of the richest Senators when she was in office, really exemplifies how out of touch the left is.

Ruhle started, “Claire, do you think when it comes to the voter, the president and this administration needs to do more talking about those economic wins? You know, because inflation is such a problem, often times it seems like Democrats are afraid to talk about how strong the economy is because they don’t want to be insensitive to people who are left out but the thing is if they do not sell their wins they can’t win in the midterms and then they can’t help anyone.”

This “you don’t know how good you’ve got it” argument is not the stuff successful campaigns are made of. More than that, however, is how Democrats insist their policies “leave no one behind,” except maybe the rich. Except what Democrats advance always benefits their rich donors. People for whom inflation means next to nothing. Ruhle isn’t impacted in any meaningful way by inflation, she’s rich, and McCaskill has a net worth north of $60 million.

McCaskill’s answer was every bit as bad as you’d expect. “This is not complicated,” she started. “The Democrats are very bad at being repetitive and disciplined on message. This president in one year created more jobs than any president in the history of the United States of America, say it over and over and over again. Real wages are up, saving is up yes there is inflation but overall if you don’t remind people how much better it is now than it was before then you leave the field open for the Republicans to distort and not tell the truth like frankly the governor of Iowa did tonight, she distorted the economic record of this president. And he brought down the deficit. So all of this is really important for them to just keep hammering over and over again. they get distracted by wanting to do so much for so many instead of keeping it simple and making sure voters understand who is really in their corner.”

Joe Biden didn’t create a single job, he just happened to be in office when the jobs Democrats shut down were allowed to return. New companies were not formed, nor have they expanded – people laid off were called back to work. No matter how many times that lie is repeated, it will never ring true to the public. We know.

Along those lines, the economy being allowed to reopen leads to increased economic activity, which leads to increased revenue to the government. That is not “cutting the deficit,” especially when your spending is loaded up in the future, an accounting gimmick if there ever was one.

These people live in a different world, a completely strange reality unfamiliar to anyone not currently on hallucinogenic drugs. Maybe we’re secretly being ruled by Hunter Biden?

The Paper that Blew it Up

November 14, 2020

by Andy May

From Watts Up With That?

“If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with Bull…” W. C. Fields

and, flying a bomber over Berlin.

In late February 2015, Willie Soon was accused in a front-page New York Times article by Kert Davies (Gillis & Schwartz, 2015) of failing to disclose conflicts of interest in his academic journal articles. It isn’t mentioned in the Gillis and Schwartz article, but the timing suggests that a Science Bulletin article, “Why Models run hot: results from an irreducibly simple climate model” (Monckton, Soon, Legates, & Briggs, 2015) was Davies’ concern. We will abbreviate this paper as MSLB15. Besides Soon, the other authors of the paper are Christopher Monckton (senior author, Lord Monckton, Viscount of Brenchley), David Legates (Professor of Geography and Climatology, University of Delaware), and William Briggs (Mathematician and statistician, former professor of statistics at Cornell Medical School). In the January 2015 article, the authors “declare that they have no conflict of interest.”

MSLB15 was instantly popular and devastating to the climate alarmist cause and to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (IPCC, 2013). The IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a research organization set up by the United Nations in 1988. MSLB15 was published online January 8, 2015 and downloaded 22,000 times in less than two months, an outstanding number of downloads. The New York Times article appeared less than two months after MSLB15 hit the internet, it was a “fake news hit job.”

The paper caused a stir because it explained that the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report or “AR5” reduced its near-term warming projections substantially, but left its long-term, higher, projections alone. This was because the IPCC central, CO₂ feedback-based, estimate of the climate sensitivity to CO₂ was reduced from 3.2°C (5.8°F) to 2.2°C (4°F) per doubling of CO₂ concentration. The sensitivity to CO₂ is often abbreviated “ECS” for Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity. The MSLB15 calculation was done the way the IPCC used in their Fourth Assessment Report, abbreviated “AR4.”

If the new estimate is correct, the projected rise in temperature for the 21st century is less than one-degree C. Another implication of the change is that the combustion of all fossil fuels estimated to exist would only cause a temperature increase of 2.2°C (4°F). This amount of warming is trivial, good for humanity, but bad for the climate alarmists.

The organization that models climate projections for the IPCC is the CMIP, or the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. It was created in 1995 to consolidate climate models from around the world into a set of projections that could form the basis for the IPCC reports. The CMIP climate models used for the IPCC fourth and fifth assessment reports overestimate global warming by a substantial amount as shown in John Christy’s plot from a previous post and shown again here as Figure 1.

Figure 1. John Christy’s famous graph comparing the AR5 IPCC climate models to weather balloon and satellite observations for the mid-troposphere. The satellite and weather balloon observations are independent of one another and surface measurements. From Christy’s 2016 Congressional testimony (Christy, 2016).

AR5 was essentially a repeat of AR4 with respect to the computation of human influence on climate. Yet, MSLB15 tells us that deep in AR5 a dramatic change was made in the model calculations that lowers the computed climate impact of CO₂. But the change was not reflected in the AR5 long-term climate projections. Monckton points out that the IPCC made the changes due to pressure from expert reviewers to bring their climate projections and model parameters into line with observations (Monckton, 2015b). The IPCC made the change, then ignored it in their longer-term projections.

Modern computer climate models are expensive “general circulation” models that model thermal energy moving through the atmosphere and the upper part of the oceans. The models break the atmosphere into 3D grid boxes that are assumed to be in local thermodynamic equilibrium and only change at their edges where they contact neighboring boxes. The older models, such as the 1979 Charney model (Charney, et al., 1979), were simpler and modeled the whole atmosphere and upper ocean conceptually.

As discussed in our last post, the complexity of modern models has not changed the estimated climate sensitivity to CO₂ or made it more accurate. The 1979 Charney Report model computed the same range of sensitivity to CO₂ as AR5 reported in 2013. This range (1.5° to 4.5°C) has survived intact for forty years despite the efforts of thousands of researchers spending over one-hundred billion U.S. 2014 dollars between 1993 and 2015 (U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), 2016) in the U.S. alone.

So, when MSLB15 showed up online, explaining that the AR5 model’s feedback estimates suggested an ECS of 2.2°C (4°F), rather than the AR4 estimate of 3.26°C (5.9°F) (IPCC, 2007, p. 798) it caused a huge uproar. As Rud Istvan noted in a post, at the time, “If you are taking heavy flak, you are over the target.” The B-27 or Avro Lancaster being flown by Christopher Monckton, Willie Soon, David Legates and William Briggs must have been directly over central Berlin given the response by the alarmists and the news media.

The direct warming from CO₂ or ECS is small, around one-degree Celsius for a doubling of CO₂. This slight warming will cause a feedback, generally assumed to be due to an increase in absolute humidity, caused by warmer temperatures. Water vapor is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO₂, so this reduction in feedback, from AR4 to AR5, is what the climate alarmists are worried about. Why is the range of ECS in AR5 the same as in AR4 when such an important component of CO₂-caused warming was reduced? Did politics overrule the scientific findings?

Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that no best estimate of ECS was given in AR5. There are many ways to compute ECS and they disagree so much, that the IPCC did not give a best estimate. Both TAR (the IPCC third assessment report) and AR4 provided a best estimate of 3°C (5.4°F), so if AR5 had stated their feedback-implied ECS of 2.2°C (4°F), the precipitous decline would have been obvious and politically damaging. So, they were silent. The obvious question is why? Did they think no one would notice the intellectual dishonesty?

To estimate ECS, one can use climate model results, analysis of feedbacks (like in AR4 or MSLB15), observed temperature and CO₂ changes (Lewis & Curry, 2018), or paleoclimate studies. The dilemma the IPCC faced in AR5 was that these estimates did not agree and many of them were far below those given in AR4 and previous assessment reports, as shown in our previous post. One wonders why the IPCC is so sure that humans control the climate with their greenhouse gas emissions, when the impact of the main greenhouse gas, CO₂, is so poorly understood? Since no best estimate of ECS was given in AR5, one can argue that our understanding is diminishing with time.

Once Christopher Monckton and his co-authors, including Willie Soon, noticed that the CO₂ feedback forcing was lowered in AR5, they created a simple model to investigate this difference and published their assessment. It is virtually impossible to attack the “Irreducibly simple climate model” presented in the paper, it is too basic. As Istvan reports the derivation of the MSLB15 model is impeccable. So, the alarmist cabal initially said that Science Bulletin was an obscure journal, therefore the paper cannot be any good. Predictably, that didn’t work, besides, the Science Bulletin is the Chinese version of Nature or Science.

Criticism of MSLB15
Rud Istvan’s post on the paper is illuminating and interesting, as is Monckton’s reply. Many traditional climate scientists, even Judith Curry, are somewhat dismissive of MSLB15. They think this simple approach to climate modeling doesn’t provide any insights into why the climate models do not agree with observations. Kevin Trenberth complains that the model is too simple (Briggs, 2015). Istvan comments that: “Trenberth’s comments to the NYTimes are indefensibly misleading in my opinion, and provide a vivid object lesson about consensus climate ‘science’ and its reporting” (Istvan, 2015). We agree with this assessment. MSLB15 explicitly recognize that their model is simple:

“[The MSLB15 model] is not, of course, intended to replace the far more complex general-circulation models; rather, it is intended to illuminate them.” (Monckton, Soon, Legates, & Briggs, 2015)

The irreducibly simple model is simple, it is in the title of the paper and Trenberth’s statement to the New York Times (Briggs, 2015) is vacuous. MSLB15 is important, not as an advance in climate science, but because it illuminates the serious flaws and internal contradictions in the IPCC/CMIP climate models. Further evidence that the IPCC models are seriously flawed is that they are no more accurate in predicting the climatic impact of CO₂ now than they were in 1979, the MSLB15 model merely drives this painfully obvious point home. Billions have been spent; one would think we would have seen some progress by now.

The subtitle of this post, a quote from W. C. Fields, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with Bull…” says it perfectly. The IPCC computer models and the ludicrous idea that averaging them provides us with a reliable and useful prediction of future climate is an attempt to “baffle us with bull….” This human-caused climate change perpetual money-squandering machine must start producing answers or be cut off from funding.

The MSLB15 model reduces the nonsense to its essence and shows this deception, if not clearly as we would like, at least more clearly and succinctly than the IPCC does. Compared to the real world, the IPCC models are too simple, their complexity doesn’t help us understand the human impact on climate, it merely provides a way to hide their inadequacies and push a chosen agenda. This was what I took away from reading MSLB15.

Rud Istvan thinks the simple model could be made simpler and have the same effect. Monckton thinks the model needs the all the elements it has, to be useful. Either way, Istvan found the model to be useful and we agree. I have no problem with the model as a useful way to understand the more complicated general circulation models. It is not, as MSLB15 readily admits, a replacement for them. It sheds light on them and provides a useful reality check.

The point MSLB15 makes, is that the IPCC model based ECS estimates are inflated. They could add that they are inaccurate and are not improving with time and money spent. Monckton says in his rebuttal to Istvan, we must let “the daylight in on the magic” (Monckton, 2015b, p. 6). We agree.

Mark Richardson and colleagues (Richardson, Hausfather, Nuccitelli, Rice, & Abraham, 2015) try to show that the MSLB15 model underestimates global mean temperatures. Richardson, et al. do not refute MSLB15, they simply refute a strawman of their own creation. Further, the only period that Richardson, et al. use, that is long enough to be considered “climate,” is 1900 to 2010. For this period, both CMIP5 and MSLB15 have errors that are well within the margin of error for the temperature datasets they cite, HadCRUT4, Cowtan & Way, and Berkeley Earth. Their shorter periods, 1970-2010 and 2000-2010 are too short to be meaningful.

Next, the alarmists, possibly including John Holdren, senior advisor to President Obama, began to attack Willie Soon, one of the authors, through his employer, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. John Holdren had already attacked Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas’ 2003 papers (Soon & Baliunas, 2003) and (Soon, Baliunas, Idso, Idso, & Legates, 2003b) when he was still at Harvard according to The Harvard Crimson (Sanchez, 2003). He claimed the papers were a “flawed analysis.” They were not flawed and MSLB15 was not flawed either. MSLB15 might be overly long and a difficult read, but it is not flawed, as far as we can tell.

Unable to attack the science, the alarmists wanted the skeptics in the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics silenced. The Smithsonian responded with new directives on conduct that contained a “loyalty to the Smithsonian” clause. The Smithsonian’s Inspector General investigated Soon and found no wrongdoing on his part, but this simply enraged the critics and didn’t settle anything (Arnold, 2016). Attacks on climate skeptics were common in 2015 and 2016 and the Obama administration was not alone, some of the harassment came from Congress, particularly from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Congressman Raúl Grijalva.

The New York Times and the other news organizations covering the story should have written about what MSLB15 said, the story isn’t that complicated or hard to explain. But they didn’t. The fact they attacked the authors, without discussing what they wrote in their peer-reviewed paper, speaks volumes, as stated in the web site “Bishop Hill” by Andrew Montford (Montford, 2015). The news media didn’t care about climate science, after all, the “science is settled,” isn’t it?

The 2015 Attack
As mentioned at the top of the post, the height of the attacks on Willie Soon, by the New York Times (Gillis & Schwartz, 2015) was on February 21, 2015. They attacked Willie Soon personally. They relied upon false information from Kert Davies (Davies, 2020), the founder of the secretive Climate Investigations Center or CIC. Davies suggested that Willie Soon had a conflict of interest and lied in MSLB15 when he said he didn’t. Davies and the New York Times claimed that Soon had received undisclosed money from ExxonMobil and the Southern Company.

Most of the New York Times article is either wrong or misleading and in our new book, Politics and Climate Change: A History, we address each of their accusations. Here we will just cover a few of the most egregious lies. The basis for the attack was a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) to obtain internal documents from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where Soon is employed as an astrophysicist. The FOIA was filed by Davies and Greenpeace.

As he had previously done in 2010 (see our book for details of the 2010 FOIA request), the director, Charles Alcock, made a crucial mistake and ordered Willie Soon to comply with the request. Unlike departments in the Executive branch of the government, a government trust, like the Smithsonian Institution, does not have to comply with FOIA requests. Thus, Alcock’s order is persecution of an employee. Alcock is specifically allowing Davies, the New York Times, and Greenpeace to intimidate and harass one of his employees. The documents (New York Times, 2015) include research proposals from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory that were written by Soon to The Southern Company (NYSE: SO) a leading natural gas and electric utility company, ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), the Charles Koch Charitable Foundation, and Donor’s Trust.

Science is a process for challenging the consensus view. Science cannot prove anything, the scientific process is about disproving things, particularly consensus opinions. For example, both Copernicus and Galileo disproved the idea that the Sun revolves around Earth. Science uses observations, analysis, and logic to disprove erroneous assumptions made by the public.

The New York Times obviously does not understand this 9^th Grade definition of the scientific method and their article asserts:

“The documents shed light on the role of scientists like Dr. Soon in fostering public debate over whether human activity is causing global warming. The vast majority of experts have concluded that it is, and that greenhouse emissions pose long-term risks to civilization.” (Gillis & Schwartz, 2015)

This unsupported assertion is laughably anti-scientific. As we have seen, “the vast majority” or a consensus of scientists is a political thing. A scientist looks at the conclusion of the “vast majority” and asks, “Is that true? How can I test that idea?” Challenging the consensus view is the whole idea of science. A true scientist wants to foster “public debate.”

The premise of the New York Times article is quite disturbing for several reasons. Firstly, they assume the so-called “consensus” view that climate is controlled by humans is true, even though no direct evidence supporting it exists. The computer model projections relied upon by the IPCC are not direct evidence. In fact, MSLB15 suggests the models are not even accurate. Let us not quibble over the words “causing climate change” and “controlling climate.” Everyone agrees that humans have some influence on climate, the debate is over how much. The alarmists clearly believe that CO₂ is the “control knob” for climate change (Lacis, Schmidt, Rind, & Ruedy, 2010).

Secondly, they assume that privately funded research, by an established and very credible astrophysicist, working for the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, is somehow tainted by donations to the Smithsonian. Thirdly, they seem to think that since Soon “has received little federal research money over the past decade” that this somehow makes him inferior to other researchers. All three assumptions are horrible. Do they really think that private companies should not be allowed to fund scientific research? Or, if they do, that the research should be discounted based only on the source of funding?

These views are not only juvenile, they are anti-scientific and possibly violate the free speech portion of the first amendment of the U.S Constitution. It is illegal to attempt to take away a person’s constitutional rights through intimidation or other means (Columbia Law School, 2020).

One of the Smithsonian studies, partially funded, by ExxonMobil, Donor’s Trust and the Southern Company was “Understanding Solar Variability and Climate Change: Signals from Temperature Records of the United States.” For one interested in climate change this would seem to be an important topic to investigate. The checks from these organizations were made out to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory or the Smithsonian Institution (see my book for photocopies of the checks). No money was paid to Willie Soon, who is a government employee and paid a salary. He wrote the proposals for the Smithsonian Institution as one of his duties as a Smithsonian employee (Arnold, 2016).

Science stands on its own, the conclusions either follow from the evidence and analysis presented, or they do not. The study can be replicated, or it cannot. Funding has nothing to do with it. Just because the New York Times reporters cannot understand Soon’s papers, does not mean no one can. Other scientists will read his papers with a properly skeptical eye and let him, or others, know if there is a problem. The papers survive or fail on their own merits.

The first amendment grants people and through them corporations, the right to free speech and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. This concept is supported by the Supreme Court in rulings like Citizens United (Smith, 2020). The New York Times article complains that Soon presented his research, funded through the Smithsonian, by the Southern Company, ExxonMobil and the Donor’s Trust, to Congress. Are they saying that Soon and the people who funded some of his research should have their first amendment rights taken away because they disagree with “most” scientists or the New York Times? That is not the way science, or the United States works. In general, the article was anti-science and anti-American.

The scientific community provides a place for scientists to debate ideas. The scientific playground contains thousands of peer-reviewed journals that allow all sides an opportunity to present their data, analysis, and conclusions for inspection. Unfortunately, once politicians and the news media became involved in the human-caused climate change debate it became a disaster. Politicians used personal attacks, suppression of opposing views, ridicule, harassment, and intimidation, rather than reason to push their views on scientists. All of these were used against Willie Soon and his former supervisor Sallie Baliunas. His friends and colleagues, David Legates, Christopher Monckton, and William Briggs, were also attacked unfairly. Politics and a scientifically ignorant news media corrupt science to an unacceptable degree. We are opposed to all government funding of scientific research for this reason. My next post and my new book discuss this viewpoint further.

Failed Serial Doomcasting | Watts Up With That?

December 27, 2019

By Willis Eschenbach

People sometimes ask me why I don’t believe the endless climate/energy use predictions of impending doom and gloom for the year 2050 or 2100. The reason is, neither the climate models nor the energy use models are worth a bucket of warm spit for such predictions. Folks concentrate a lot on the obvious problems with the climate models. But the energy models are just as bad, and the climate models totally depend on the energy models for estimating future emissions. However, consider the following US Energy Information Agency (EIA) predictions of energy use from 2010, quoted from here (emphasis mine):

In 2010, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected that in 2019, the U.S. would be producing about 6 million barrels of oil a day. The reality? We’re now producing 12 million barrels of oil a day.

Meanwhile, EIA projected oil prices would be more than $100 a barrel. They’re currently hovering around $60 a barrel.

EIA had projected in 2010 that the U.S. would be importing a net eight million barrels of petroleum by now, which includes crude oil and petroleum products like gasoline. In September, the U.S. actually exported a net 89 thousand barrels of petroleum.

In 2010, EIA projected that the U.S. would be producing about 20 trillion cubic feet of natural gas by now. In 2018, the last full year of annual data, we produced more than 30 trillion.

The EIA had projected that coal electricity would remain dominant in the U.S. and natural gas would remain relatively stable — even drop slightly in its share of power supply. The opposite is happening. Coal-fired power is plummeting and natural gas has risen significantly.

Now remember, we are assured that these energy projections are being made by Really Smart People™, the same kind of folks making the climate predictions … and they can’t predict a mere ten years ahead? Forget about predicting a century from now, they are wildly wrong in just one decade. The EIA projections above missed the mark by 100% or more and sometimes didn’t even get the sign of the result correct … but as St. Greta the Shrill misses no opportunity to remind us, we’re supposed to totally restructure our entire global economy based on those same shonky predictions.

But I digress … Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. recently posed an interesting question—how can we fix what he called “apocalyptic” projections of future climate?

My response was:

My fix would be for all climate scientists to stop vainly trying to predict the future and focus on the past.

Until we understand past phenomena such as the Little Ice Age, the Medieval Warm Period, etc. to the point where we can tell why they started and stopped when they did and not earlier or later, pretending to understand the future is a joke.

For example, the Milankovich astronomical cycles that have correlated well with episodes of glaciation in the past say we should be in a full-blown “Ice Age” today. These cycles change the amount of sunlight in the northern hemisphere. And when the world went into the Little Ice Age (LIA) around the year 1600, there was every indication that we were headed in that direction, towards endless cold. The same fears were raised in the 1970s when the earth had been cooling for thirty years or so.

Gosh … another failed climate prediction. Shocking, I know …

Regarding why the Milankovich cycles indicated an ice age, here are Greenland temperature and solar changes in the Northern Hemisphere for the past 12,000 years or so.

But instead of the Little Ice Age preceding us plunging into sub-zero temperatures and mile-thick ice covering Chicago, the earth started to warm again towards the end of the 1700s … why?

Well, the ugly truth is, we are far from understanding the climate well enough to answer why it was warmer in Medieval times; why we went from that warmth into the LIA in the first place; why the LIA lasted as long as it did; why it didn’t continue into global glaciation; or why we’ve seen gradual slight warming, on the order of half a degree per century, from then to the present day.

And until scientists can answer those and many similar questions about the past, why on earth should we believe their climate/energy predictions for a century or even a decade from now?

The only thing that seems clear about all of those questions is that the answer is not “CO2”. Here’s another look at Greenland, this time with CO2 overlaid on the temperature:

My Dad used to say “Son, if something seems too good to be true … it probably is”. I never realized until today that there was a climate corollary to that, which is “Son, if something seems too bad to be true … it probably isn’t”.

So my advice is to take all such predictions of impending Thermageddon, drowned cities, endless droughts, and other horribly bad outcomes by 2100, 2050, or even 2030, with a grain of salt. Here’s what I’d consider to be the appropriate size of salt grain for the purpose …

My best to everyone,

US Citizens Should Know Better Than To Support These Things! » Sons of Liberty Media

December 15, 2019

Every now and again, Mt. Hamner rumbles and roars to life in grand explosions of chastisements, rants, and steaming commentary. Today is one of those days. Why? Borrowing from Shakespeare, using a Suzanne flair, “How do I explain it? Let me try a few examples”. As the pressure builds, be sure to check your defensiveness.

There are numerous separate bills floating in the House and Senate that when passed and signed will work in conjunction with one another to create a communist/socialist/Marxist United States where the people will be the commodity and the fodder. Much of the legislation has to do with education. What better way to groom acceptance automatons to the government game than “get ‘em while they’re young”? But, it doesn’t just apply to the children in our country; adults are included as well. To get up to speed on these bills, visit CommonCoreDiva.com, where common core expert Lynne Taylor has done all the research for you. All you need to do is read it, understand it, and then act upon it.

Couple these education bills with HR 5038, which just passed the House, and the USMCA, and what do you have? A gaggle of goop designed to erode US and State sovereignty, eradicate individual freedoms and liberties, as well as God-given unalienable rights, provide illegal alien invaders amnesty, and re-establish indentured servitude in this country, which will be extended to citizens – read between the lines and bills. Many who have commented on the USMCA articles at various media sites praise the USMCA because the article’s author glosses over the agreement, only providing the scantiest of highlights – The Daily Caller and Breitbart News come to mind. This “agreement” basically creates a North American Union like the European Union with lots of new entities consisting of unelected bureaucrats that will influence every aspect of our lives. And, what are the American people focused upon? The dog and pony show of impeachment of a president using fabricated, false and manipulated information exposed as fraudulent years ago.

Yet, even alternative media sites, such as The Daily Caller and Breitbart News, still make impeachment the first stories on the page and then prioritize stories related to impeachment to follow. With the lamestream entertainment government-controlled media pushing the impeachment narrative and some alternative media sites focusing their readership on impeachment, most all bills going through both chambers of Congress are either buried back page news with scant coverage, provided short scant praising coverage, or not covered at all. The Drudge Report caved – rumor is Matt Drudge sold the site – and many other “alternative media” are following a disturbing pattern. It becomes more and more difficult to find out exactly what is happening in Congress when it involves legislation.

Nothing produces more ire and down-right frustration than the totally debunked, fraudulent hoax of man-made climate change. The ruse of man-made climate change was exposed 10 years ago; yet, people are still buying this garbage. Governments around the world are attempting to create policies around it, villainize the essential gas of Carbon Dioxide, steal money from their citizens, and implement a global government with the UN at the helm, while third world countries are “demanding” reparations because of the affect of first world industrialized nations upon them. You know the drill – those countries are poor and backward because of man-made climate change despite the hoards of money the US gives some of these nations yearly. Funny how those countries remained silent until it was mentioned by some government gus these third worlders needed money to help the issues “thrust” upon them because of man-made climate change.

With the US withdrawing from all this nonsense, the rest of the world governments are looking to stick the US and its taxpayers with the entire multi-billion-dollar reparations bill. China is refusing to pay anything. Say what you want, but China knows this is a hoax and other world governments won’t push back against China.

New research appears at Natural News further exposing man-made climate change as a hoax, finding man has virtually zero impact on global temperatures. Despite these exposures of the UN IPCC and compromised scientists, homo-stupidians (H/T Mike Adams) still regurgitate the rhetoric of “man-made climate change will doom us all”. Braindead politicians are some of the worst, as well as Hollyweirdos and their cultist followers. As with other issues, the lamestream entertainment government-controlled media, including some alternative media sites, are pushing false narratives based on false information and trying to sell constitutionalists who still patronize their outlets on a hoax. It’s worse than disgusting; it’s unredeemable criminality.

Enter 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, the hoaxers’ bastion of mental illness chastising government leaders for their inaction on a hoax and intelligent individuals worldwide who recognize the man-made climate change hoax. If “adults” are placing their eggs in the basket of Thunberg to persuade other adults to keep silent on the hoax through “guilt manipulation” and “you can’t criticize a child” mentality, it isn’t working. The homo-stupidians didn’t learn from the Hogg media circus. So what happens? After the lamestream entertainment government-controlled media spent considerable time promoting Thunberg’s psychotic episodes to no avail, Time Magazine, following a long tradition of placing totalitarian, murderous dictators on their cover, named Thunberg “person of the year” for 2019. Before anyone accuses this writer of calling Thunberg a totalitarian murderous dictator, understand, Thunberg is promoting a hoax that will eventually lead to the attempt to install a totalitarian murderous dictator over the world – the UN. Unless one hasn’t been paying attention, murder by government, democide, has killed more individuals worldwide than all the wars combined – 262 million to be exact.

How quickly the people of the world, particularly the united States, forget.

And, if this isn’t enough to rile one’s feathers, legislation – State and federal, attempting to infringe upon an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, against God-given individual unalienable rights recognized and guaranteed through the Second Amendment of the Constitution for the United States of America, should have every citizen descending on all levels of government with a vengeance. Red Flag “laws”, gun confiscation schemes, accessory bans, and the removal of due process are appearing at all levels of government, with little opposition from those in government wearing the jersey of professed conservatives and some constitutionalists. In fact, Trump is all for the removal of due process when it comes to firearms – “Take the guns first and worry about due process later”; except, that is not how it works at all. States, like Virginia, are looking to criminalize gun owners and supporters through bans and confiscation as various counties in Virginia are declaring Second Amendment sanctuaries within their boundaries. Unfortunately, government didn’t get the hint. Governor Northam is threatening door to door confiscation – good luck with that.

According to some brain dead individuals, State law is superior to federal law; however, that is not exactly true. Moreover, any law at any level of government that restricts infringes or eradicates God-given individual unalienable rights is immoral, unlawful, and illegal since government does not bestow rights and has no authority over those rights. But, it matters not to these goons like Bloomberg, who is pouring millions of his own money into areas to get gun confiscation legislation passed. In Virginia, it is possible the governor could activate the National Guard, which a governor can do, to perform door to door confiscation. Wonder how many in the National Guard will go along with that? Wonder how many citizens will resist?

Don’t look for law enforcement in other States to stand with the people. The agencies are all too happy to become the “strongarm thugs” of government as they declare support for being an illegal alien invader criminal sanctuary city, town, county and/or State. Don’t worry about the numerous crimes of law enforcement officers being exposed – the agencies are more than happy to cover it up, abuse victims, and have cases thrown out by corrupt judges. If the officer is found to have committed a crime, they are given probation or released just to recommit those crimes against the citizenry. As a reminder, carrying a badge these days gives law enforcement officers the authority to shoot innocent citizens; some result in death.

Virginia will be the government’s strongarm thug paradise as they roll their government green military equipment through the streets to intimidate the people. Wherever this powder keg begins, it will take citizens standing together in Bundy Ranch fashion to resist, meaning citizens across the State of Virginia will need to be ready to mobilize. But, don’t expect the government to play fair.

As the rights of the people are being infringed all over the former republic, millions of citizens continue to be murdered in the womb and some State governments propose to murder them after birth. What really causes the caldera to explode is the pro-life groups who support “Heartbeat” bills and “ultrasound” bills when life begins at conception. There should be no compromise. You are either anti-murder of the unborn or pro-murder of the unborn – and now newborn infants; there is no in-between or qualifiers. When qualifiers are accepted for the very youngest among us, qualifiers can be applied to any age, mental disability – Down’s Syndrome comes to mind, physical disability or any demographic government chooses. It’s a slippery slope we have been sliding down since many accepted the false premise that the Supreme Court makes law.

The moral depravity and its acceptance by many that are spreading through society and the church indicate we are under the government of minoritarianism. Whether it is the black robed oligarch of nine, the delusional factions of Antifa, Black Lives Matter, or Islam, atheists, or the less than three percent population of LGBTQrstuvwxyz mentally ill, the government is being mobilized to combat those with opposing convictions. Instead of upholding the rights bestowed by God, guaranteed and protected by the Bill of Rights, the “political oligarchy” is willing to infringe upon the rights of those with opposing convictions to the point it places our children, and everyone else, in danger. It’s disgusting, immoral, unethical, illegal, and unlawful to the nth degree. When push back against this depravity occurs, government steps in to criminalize the lawful.

Twitter now allows pedophiles to openly discuss their depravity and criminality while censoring constitutional and conservative viewpoints. Facebook, Google, and other platforms do the same. And, some idiots like Cenk Uyghur want to legalize bestiality. Why have the people not protested this guy en masse everywhere he goes? Simple – police are allowing peaceful protestors against such to be assaulted by the delusional factions of individuals supporting depravity. It is now physically dangerous to peaceably assemble for some groups because of the violent nature of others and the inaction of the police.

And, what is most disappointing? Trying to get the public involved in combatting these encroachments, particularly in an area where unconstitutional law enforcement exists, without success. Why? Many Americans have become fearful of their own government and law enforcement even when engaging in lawful activities. Well, that’s game, set, match, and checkmate for the government. It’s not without understanding for sure, especially when laws are being passed to infringe upon rights if one has a criminal record or someone “thinks” you are a danger. It’s an upstairs/downstairs type of law enforcement when legal activities can get one arrested while crimes like assault receive impunity.

Last, but certainly not least, is the television ads being broadcast by Tom Steyer who continually refers to the US government as a democracy, runs on ending climate change, and spews all sorts of nonsense just to get a vote from the low information homo-stupidian voter. The absolute ridiculousness of this man is almost incomprehensible. Even the little “cat terrorist” recognizes his bunk because she barks incessantly every time he appears on the television. Good girl!! Some American voters should be so smart.

And, pay attention – anti-constitutionalists are moving out of the utopian bastions they have created into other areas of the country to create utopian bastions in the image of what they left. It’s working. See Virginia. Republicans are not a block to these anti-constitutionalists since they bend more than a tree in a hurricane to accommodate these idiots to avoid being called names. This writer has been called just about everything. Luckily, a thick skin is now in place – this writer doesn’t care. The ultimate one that this writer will answer to is a higher authority than anyone or anything on this earth.

The truth is never pleasant and doing the right thing is never easy – God and Jesus Christ never said it would be. But, imparting truth is showing love. And, friends, we have sat on our laurels for far too long. It’s come time to get in the fight or accept our fate. There is no more time for fence-sitting, qualifying a position, or being silent. It’s time to choose sides. The first side you should pick, if you haven’t already, is God and Jesus Christ. Once that is complete, the side of the issues you should stand on are clear – God’s side. And, no, Islam is not being covered since that false religion should be thoroughly exposed by now. Pope Francis is a proven heretic so no need to rehash what should be known. Islam and the heretic pope will retreat in the face of resistance because both are like bullies – stand up to them and they retreat. Don the armor of God and stand in righteousness; it will cause these two fakes to dwindle in the light.

It boils down to a choice and free will. Writing, emailing and phoning congressman does not work anymore – the people are ignored. They count on inaction. If the people do not mobilize to action, stand firm even in the face of adversity and challenge their unlawful, immoral, unethical, unconstitutional and illegal actions, minoritarianism will become the totalitarian, despotic tyrannical dictatorship we all have been warned about for hundreds of years. Look around. It’s well on its way.

Unsure where to get truthful information? Listen to or watch “Setting Brushfires” with Tim Brown every Monday through Friday morning at 6 AM eastern time. “Sons of Liberty” radio show with Bradlee Dean airs and broadcasts every Monday through Friday at 2 PM central time. Both shows provide truthful information and spiritual uplifting with hope that informed Americans can make a difference. Expand your repertoire of alternative media sites. If you can’t dig deep, there are others who do, presenting their findings at The Washington Standard, The Sons of Liberty Media, Natural News, The Organic Prepper, and a host of other sites writers at these outlets reference. You will be informed accurately and better prepared to impart information to others. Just don’t shoot the messenger.

World’s Largest Ice Sheet Growing | PA Pundits – International

October 26, 2019 1 Comment

Posted on Fri 10/25/2019 by PA Pundits – International

By Craig Rucker ~

The West Antarctic ice sheet, the biggest mass of ice in the world, has been growing since the end of the nineteenth century.

Marc Morano featured a post about a fascinating Chinese study from Dr. Patrick Michaels at the website of CFACT’s friend and ally the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

The forthcoming study by six Chinese authors is scheduled to appear in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres. The study concludes that Antarctic ice exhibited a “significant negative trend” during the nineteenth century, then a “significant positive trend” throughout the 20th.

This doesn’t help the narrative for those seeking to spread climate alarm one bit.

Here’s the latest example: Artist Thomas Starr of Northeastern University has been placing fake historical markers in New England towns. “Gazebo relocated due to recurring flooding caused by sea level rise, March, 2058,” reads a plaque on a gazebo in Durham, New Hampshire. He calls it the Seacoast Remembrance Project. Starr’s plaques have been garnering the laudatory media write-ups we’re sure you’d expect.

Hey Durham Town Council, want to sell us the land your lovely seaside gazebo’s on at a generous discount? We’ll take the problem off your hands. It is doomed after all.

That sea level has been slowly rising at only 1 to 3 mm per year since before the industrial revolution, with no sign of meaningful acceleration, does not make it into the articles. Hysterical sea level claims are not based on reality. Dangerously rising seas exist only in the virtual world of climate computer simulations.

Those ever-faulty computer models project extreme Antarctic ice melt. That it has not actually occurred does not seem to matter. They even stoop to attributing extra high tides caused by natural lunar cycles, combined with ground level subsidence, to sea level rise.

Pity the tide gauges don’t show it. Sorry Miami, your occasionally wet streets were not caused by electrical generation, air travel, bovine flatulence, or even SUVs.

Dr. Michaels speculates that the media will have no appetite for a study showing Antarctic ice gaining. What do you think?

We’ll do him one better. If they do cover it, they’ll try and spin it as justifying global warming alarm!

We factored the situation into our own computer models. They project shamelessly disseminated climate propaganda.

Let’s see whose projections pan out.

The Green New Deal’s Solar Absurdity | PA Pundits – International

October 24, 2019

By Dr. Jay Lehr ~

Those who support the Green New Deal (GND) want what they claim to be the only real solution to the global warming problem which is solar power, and other so-called renewables to save our planet from the ravages of fossil fuel.

They insist our dependence on fossil fuels can be ended by having the world become fully dependent on green energy they wrongly claim to be environmentally friendly, producing no pollution. None of which is true or possible. But their real motivation for climate change delusion is to shift control of all energy from oil and gas companies to the government. It is a move toward the socialist goal of the Green New Deal.

With the exception of hydropower, all so-called “renewable” energy is expensive and inefficient. They are only thought to be economical and competitive through massive government subsidies which are hidden in our tax burden. Let’s try and show the real costs of rooftop solar power.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Lawrence Livermore Laboratory says that as of 2015 the total energy consumed in America was the energy equivalent to 17 billion barrels of oil, 38% is used for electricity, 29% for transportation and the remaining 33% as onsite power for business and industry. Only 11% is used domestically. Fossil fuels provide 82% of that power, nuclear 9% and hydropower 2.5% (IBID). Of the renewable energy sources preferred by the GND, biofuels such as ethanol in gasoline provides 5%, wind power 2%, and solar one half of one percent. Yet in light of these government-generated statistics, the GND calls for all fossil fuel burning power plants to be shut down over the next 12 years, along with all Nuclear plants as anything radioactive is considered inherently evil. In addition, it demands that as many hydroelectric power plants as possible be closed to protect fish spawning grounds. (No this is not a joke). Finally, it eliminates gasoline-powered vehicles switching to electric cars and public transportation.

According to the 2017 Solar Electric Handbook (www.solarelectricityhandbook.com/solar-radiation.html) the maximum amount of sunlight hitting one square meter (roughly a square yard) of the Earth’s surface, delivers 1000 watts of power ( that would light 10, 100-watt bulbs). But the shifting angles of the sun drops that number to 600 watts. Commercial photovoltaic cells can only harvest 15% of that energy dropping us to only 90 watts under ideal conditions or lighting about one 100 watt bulb. But the sun does not shine at night so we are down to 45 watts. But solar collectors only take up a little over 50% of the land area of a solar farm bringing us to 25 watts, and then average clouds, smoke, and dust could drop us all the way down to zero. The average output across the US of a typical solar power facility is in fact between 5 and 7.5 watts per square meter (Electric Power Monthly, U.S. Energy Information Administration, Dec.22,2017. https://www.eia.gov.electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?/t=epmt_6_07_b)). Is the problem getting clearer, but wait there is more.

Photoelectric cells used to create electric energy consume more energy in their production than they collect. The complex steps required to create raw quartz used to eventually make the wafers that become the collectors surface, require 3370 kilowatt-hours of energy per square meter of collector material produced ( Williams,E.D.,Ayres.R.U., and Heller,M., “The 1.7 Kilogram Microchip: Energy and Material Use in the Production of Semiconductor Devices”, Environ.Sci. Technology., 36, 5504-5510 (2002). )

But wait there is still more. Solar energy can’t be turned on and off to meet shifts in energy. The sun shines during the day but power needs peak in the morning and evening. Less energy is collected in winter than summer due to shorter days and lower sun angles. One solution is to have backup fossil fuel power plants and now you are paying for two systems instead of one and the use of fossil fuel continues. The other solution is to store extra energy in batteries. A typical lead-acid car battery has a storage capacity of one kilowatt-hour, according to McGraw-Hill’s Handbook of Batteries

(Linden,D., Reddy, T.B..,Eds., Handbook of Batteries, Third Edition, McGraw-Hill, New York , 2002, Chapter 23).

A total replacement of fossil fuels by solar energy and a battery storage component would require many trillions of such batteries. Lithium batteries would offer more storage but at twice the price.

While a solar farm can be built anywhere, sunny areas of the country are not evenly distributed requiring transmission lines from the sunniest areas to the less sunny areas. As the distance increase the cost of solar skyrockets.

Finally, the land areas required for solar farms are extraordinary. Using the most generous capacity numbers for photovoltaic cells in the sunniest areas, a 1000 megawatt solar farm (the standard output of most fossil fuel plants) would require 51 square miles which is the approximate area of San Francisco (Land Requirements for Carbon-Free Technologies, Nuclear Energy Institute Policy Paper, July 9 2015, https://www.nei.org/CorporateSite/media/filefolder/Policy/Paper/Land_Use_Carbon_Free_Technologies.pdf?ext=pdf)

Where is the land to be sacrificed in the name of the GND to come from? In fact, there is not enough land in the United States to harvest the Solar energy to play a major role in the nation’s energy requirements.

Solar energy is too expensive for most countries or individuals to afford. The World Bank says that over 1.5 billion people live without electricity

(World Bank Group, Access to Electricity (% of Population)Sustainable Energy for All Database, https://data World bank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS)

Although coal is vilified while producing a third of the world’s energy, it’s use continues to increase as it costs only 7 cents a kilowatt-hour (Coal International Energy Agency https://www.iea.org/about/faqs/coal/.). Natural gas costs are even less at 6 cents a kilowatt-hour. The costs reported for solar operations have dropped to 16 cents a kilowatt-hour, but government subsidies come to 24 cents a kilowatt-hour giving it a real cost of 40 cents (Hansen,M.E., Simmons,R.T., Yonk,R.M., The Unseen Costs of Solar-Generated Electricity, The Institute of Political Economy, Utah State University, April 2016,www.usa.edu/ice.)

Few Americans could afford this to save the planet let alone people living in poor countries. Both widespread solar energy and the Green New Deal are but a fantasy of those who truly wish to destroy the nation as envisioned by our founding fathers.

The far left wing of what was once known as the Democrat party is in complete shambles.

They could care not bit what the people want and who they will vote for they are going to President Donald J.Trump win another election.

Andy McCarthy calls out Dems’ ‘Kabuki theater’: There are no subpoenas and no impeachment inquiry

House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump is all but “Kabuki theater at this point,’ former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy said Friday.

Appearing on “America’s Newsroom” with host Bill Hemmer, McCarthy argued that the way the media is reporting on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s probe is “simply inaccurate about what’s going on.”

“For example, this whole idea that there is an impeachment inquiry: there’s not. The idea that there are subpoenas: there aren’t. And, I think a lot of people are consuming it as if it were true on face value and I really think if I were the White House what I would be worried about is breaking through that,” McCarthy told Hemmer.

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

In an op-ed in The Hill, McCarthy wrote that congressional Democrats, to the contrary, are instead conducting the 2020 political campaign: “Democrats are mulishly determined to ram through an article of impeachment or two, regardless of whether the State Department and other agencies cooperate in the farce.

Their base wants the scarlet-letter ‘I’ (impeachment) attached to Trump. The party hopes to rally the troops for the 2020 campaign against Trump…

If Democrats truly thought they had a case, they wouldn’t be in such a rush—they’d want everyone to have time to study it. But they don’t have a case, so instead they’re giving us a show.”

House Democrats launched a formal impeachment inquiry into the president after a whistleblower complaint suggested the president, during a July phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart, tried to induce officials there to investigate Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and their business dealings in that country.

“The question here is, was there a corrupt quid pro quo?” the Fox News contributor asked.

On Thursday, the Trump administration confirmed with Fox News that they will send Pelosi a letter “daring” her to hold a vote on the impeachment inquiry.

The letter will say that the White House won’t comply with the Democrats’ investigation because Pelosi hasn’t codified the probe with a formal vote on the House floor.

The letter will mirror the tone of a letter House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., sent to the speaker on Thursday.

“I think it’s the right thing for him to do,” Andy McCarthy said. “The Constitution reposes the power to impeach solely in the House.

Not in the Speaker of the House, the House.”Video

McCarthy said it would actually benefit the House if it wanted to go into court and try to enforce any information demands: “The first thing a court’s going to want to know is, ‘Has the House voted to have an impeachment inquiry?’

And, a lot hinges on that, including how much expansion a court would give a president’s claim of executive privilege and privilege over matters that are in the president’s duties under Article II.

“If they really have grounds to seek the president’s impeachment, they not only should have a vote because it’s in their interests when they go to court to have a vote, they should be proud to have a vote,” McCarthy added.

He concluded: “If [House Democrats] really think they have grounds to remove the President of the United States from power, then the House should speak as one as an institution and vote that way.”

Former Federal Prosecutor Cuts Through The Democrats’s Lies

October 4, 2019

Simon Daily October 4, 2019

It’s all smoke and mirrors.

The Dems have been raving about how they are going to take down the president and they have the country believing that is their intention, including Trump. But former Federal Prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy claims that is not the case. He claims this is all theater and the Dems are just trying to make Trump look bad.

“There is no impeachment inquiry. There are no subpoenas.

You are not to be faulted if you think a formal inquest is under way and that legal process has been issued. The misimpression is completely understandable if you have been taking in media coverage — in particular, reporting on a haughty Sept. 27 letter from House Democrats, presuming to direct Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, on pain of citation for obstruction, to cooperate in their demands to depose State Department officials and review various records.

The letter is signed by not one but three committee chairmen. Remember your elementary math, though: Zero is still zero even when multiplied by three.

What is portrayed as an “impeachment inquiry” is actually just a made-for-cable-TV political soap opera. The House of Representatives is not conducting a formal impeachment inquiry. To the contrary, congressional Democrats are conducting the 2020 political campaign.

The House has not voted as a body to authorize an impeachment inquiry. What we have are partisan theatrics, proceeding under the ipse dixit of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). It raises the profile, but not the legitimacy, of the same “impeachment inquiry” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) previously tried to abracadabra into being without a committee vote.

Moreover, there are no subpoenas. As Secretary Pompeo observed in his fittingly tart response on Tuesday, what the committee chairmen issued was merely a letter. Its huffing and puffing notwithstanding, the letter is nothing more than an informal request for voluntary cooperation. Legally, it has no compulsive power. If anything, it is rife with legal deficiencies.

The Democrats, of course, hope you don’t notice that the House is not conducting a formal impeachment inquiry. They are using the guise of frenetic activity by several standing committees — Intelligence, Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, Oversight and Reform, Financial Services, and Ways and Means — whose normal oversight functions are being gussied up to look like serious impeachment business.”

This is something that the MSM is definitely failing to report. Liberals have been going on about this impeachment inquiry non-stop. But if the prosecutor is right then this is all just another attempt to tear down the president. But more importantly, this shows that the House Dems are no longer serving the people, as they are lying to us all about their intentions.

Environmentalists Killed More Europeans Than Islamic Terrorists Did

August 22nd, 2019

Man, having a brain, has the ability to think.

That’s where we run into problems.

Some think better than other and for the most part, they tend to be on the right of the political spectrum.

I never cease to be amazed at mans ability to deify the unknown.

When it is coming from the left, it tends to be delusional and not based on factual data based on scientific rigor.

Albert Gore Jr. is a special kind of leftist fraud.

He refuses to debate his phony belief system and will not answer questions from those who attend his brainwashing sessions.

Since his blather is scientifically unproven and always will be, it would be a nice gesture on Attorney General, William Barr’s behalf to subpoena him to sit before a grand jury when it goes to trial, which is likely, the fine would be to make him pay all the money to the U.S, Treasury to help bring down the national deficit.

“Do Americans Need Air-Conditioning?”

A New York Times piece asked in July.

Air conditioning, it argued, is bad for the environment and makes us less human.

It ran quotes suggesting that “first world discomfort is a learned behavior”, and urging “a certain degree of self-imposed suffering.

How Al Gore amassed a $200-million fortune after presidential defeat

If environmentalists ruled the world, air conditioning wouldn’t exist.

And there’s a place like that.

90% of American households have air conditioning.

As do 86% of South Koreans, 82% of Australians, 60% of Chinese, 16% of Brazilians and Mexicans, 9% of Indonesians and less than 5% of Europeans.

A higher percentage of Indian households have air conditioning than their former British colonial rulers.

Temperatures in Paris hit 108.6 degrees.

Desperate Frenchmen dived into the fountains of the City of Lights with their clothes on.

Parisian authorities announced that they were deploying heat wave management plan orange, level three, which meant setting up foggers in public parks and distributing heat wave kits.

The kits consist of leaflets telling people to go to libraries which have air conditioning.

France24, the country’s state-owned television network, advised people suffering from temperatures rising as high as 110 degrees to take cold showers and stick their feet in saucepans of cold water.

A 2003 heat wave killed 15,000 people in France.

And, in response, the authorities have deployed Chalex, a database of vulnerable people who will get a call offering them cooling advice.

The advice consists of taking cold showers and sticking their feet in saucepans of cold water.

Desperate Frenchmen trying to get into any body of water they can have led to a 30% rise in drownings.

The dozens of people dead are casualties of the environmentalist hatred of air conditioners.

Only 5% of French households have air conditioning.

Even in response to the crisis, the authorities are only deploying temporary air conditioning to kindergartens.

The 2003 heat wave killed 7,000 people in Germany.

And, today, only 3% of German households have air conditioning.

Germany’s Ministry of the Environment refused to back air conditioning as a response to global warming.

Temperatures in Dusseldorf hit 105 degrees.

Officials in Dusseldorf had recently rejected proposals to install air conditioning systems because they’re bad for the environment.

The climate action head at Germany’s Institute for Applied Ecology explained that air conditioning wouldn’t work because there’s not much wind during heat waves, and the country can’t end reliance on coal and run air conditioners at the same time.

You can have air conditioners or save the planet.

But not both.

The issue isn’t poverty, in Greece, one of the poorest countries in Europe, 99% of households have air conditioning.

What it comes down to is a willingness to choose comfort over environmental dogma.

In Europe, people are dying because they’ve been told that their sacrifices will save the planet.

The 2003 heat wave killed 70,000 people in Europe.

That’s more than Islamic terrorists have.

When environmentalists claim that global warming is a greater threat than Islamic terrorism, they’re half-right.

Global warming isn’t real, but the measures taken to fight it are killing thousands of people.

And it doesn’t have to be this way.

In 2007, only 2% of Indian households had air conditioning.

Those numbers have more than doubled. India is expected to field a billion air conditioning units by 2050.

“I am not rich,” an Indian laundryman earning $225 a month, who had just put in air conditioning, told a disapproving Agence France-Presse, but we all aspire to a comfortable life.”

Some of us do.

The 2003 heat wave killed 2,000 Brits.

The current heatwave has led to London being placed on a Level 3 health watch.

But air conditioning in the UK still hovers at 3% of households.

And every summer, the local media lectures Brits on the evils of air conditioning.

Every heat wave is treated as a compelling argument for reducing power to save the planet.

The heat and its accompanying misery are treated as heralds of a global warming apocalypse.

Soon, we are told, it’ll be hot all the time, the waters will rise, the icebergs will melt, and life will perish from the earth.

When a heat wave consumed Europe in 1540, leading to the hottest temperatures on record and the deaths of thousands, the people blamed a higher power.

In England, where the River Trent dried up, the mega-drought was blamed on Henry VIII’s sacrilegious crackdown on monasteries.

Modern Europeans have a simple, rational explanation.

Mother Earth is angry because we’re using air conditioners.

Or other people are.

China has 569 million installed air conditioners.

More than any other country in the world.

South Korea has 59 million air conditioners.

That’s more than France, Germany and the UK combined.

Europe’s sacrifice is not only senseless, it’s also meaningless.

Vietnam has become a booming market for air conditioners.

17% of Vietnamese households now have one.

Indonesia is leading its own boom in air conditioning.

As is much of Asia and the Middle East.

Europe can go on letting its people die for the environment, but it won’t make any difference.

Air conditioning isn’t some American fetish, as European elitists sneer. It’s a worldwide movement.

Every country that can manage it is getting air conditioners.

Meanwhile people are dying in France.

While the rest of the world is cooling off, Europe is in thrall to a pagan pseudo-scientific cult.

Its tenets insist that the planet is a living entity, but fail to understand its true implications.

The climate is part of a living entity which changes on a timescale that challenges human understanding.

For a thousand years of recorded history, Europe has undergone alternate warming and cooling periods.

The Medieval Climate Anomaly was an example of how complicated those cyclical changes could be.

A heat wave isn’t proof that we’ve sinned against Mother Earth by heating and cooling our homes.

We can cut down forests and build dams.

But so can beavers.

We cannot change the climate.

The bones of hippos have been found under Trafalgar Square.

The Chauvet Cave in France includes pictures of rhinos.

The Little Ice Age killed off England’s vineyards in the 14th century.

The Thames began to freeze over in the 17th century.

The Viking colonization of America collapsed under the wave of cold.

Air conditioning and heating are not how we change the climate. They’re how we cope with it.

Environmentalism has so hopelessly tangled human civilization and the environment that we are no longer able to understand the planet on its own

terms, instead of as a Luddite eschatology in which the climate is a deity punishing us for our civilizational ingenuity with hot weather and natural disasters.

And that makes it extremely difficult to adapt to the changes in a healthy way.

A century ago, Americans beat the heat by wading in fountains, sleeping on roofs and fire escapes, and escaping the city.

Air conditioning has made it possible for us to live and work across the entire country.

In 1896, a heat wave killed thousands of Americans. New York City authorities resorted to the same measures as their modern Parisian counterparts, turning on fire hydrants and handing out ice.

Those temperatures amounted to a mere 90 degrees.

In 1902, Willis Carrier invented the air conditioner in Brooklyn.

He imagined a world in which, “The average businessman will rise, pleasantly refreshed, having slept in an air-conditioned room.

He will travel in an air-conditioned train, and toil in an air-conditioned office.” We live in that world now.

At the New York World’s Fair, while temperatures outside hit 90 degrees, Carrier debuted an Igloo display.

Two giant thermometers contrasted “Nature’s temperature” with “air conditioning”.

It sold itself.

Air conditioning allows New Yorkers to shrug off 90-degree weather and go on living and working.

Today, New York is the home of the Green New Deal which believes in following Europe’s trends.

If New York adopts Europe’s environmentalism, it will discover what living in 1896 really felt like.

Environmentalists have killed thousands of Europeans. They can kill thousands of Americans too.
