It is of course useful to connect dots. "Climate change", both as a topic and as a set of phenomena, is a very large dot indeed, so in a layman's attempt to separate fact from fiction I zeroed in on a scientific environmentalist/biologist who had researched a draught in a previously thriving Californian region (a wooded area in the middle and East of this state). The gist of his results being that the draught could not possibly have been caused by ("correlated to", "ättibuted to"?) a systemic change in the weather system. He found there were subtle shifts in the flora & fauna, plus, more importantly, an interplay of instabilities in the region's geology/soil.

I am no 'naturalist', nor a practitioner of hard science, but even I can wrap my head around Steele's cogent explanation that 'climate change', deployed as a catch-all cause for nearly everything, obscures rather than clarifies what's actually going on in a particular, empirically researchable patch of nature.

Steele's magnum opus: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18178722-landscapes-cycles

General info on his research: https://co2coalition.org/teammember/jim-steele/

Here you'll find a link to his (huge, science based, very readable) website. In the pushback suffered by this honest sceptic, we can easily see precursors of the dis-/misinformation meme in full swing.

PS. To the sceptics of my input: I live in a big city, have a grown-up son, and don't own a car; this is Holland, you see, where public transport and bicycles were part of civic life ere any kind of green deal was on the horizon. I don't have a stake in defending gas-guzzling automobiles (assuming those haven't been banned), nor do I believe the size one one's 'footprint' to be a parameter of one's virtue. I am merely hoping Dark Ages will be averted or reverted by a true renaissance in science, scholarship and the arts. In other words, by US... I am glad you're around, dr. Nass.

Meryl, an incredible find!

Not sure why people like politics so much, maybe its just more exciting than reality.

In March, Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) was claiming more than 90% of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) to be severely bleached. That was in the lead up to the federal election, the climate change election. 

Now in August, just a few months later, the same organisation is claiming healthy corals and record high coral cover across more than two-thirds of the GBR.

These two results are irreconcilable. It is not possible that 90% of the reef was severely bleached in March and at the same time the corals were healthy and expanding their range.

Consensus science is not science but scientism which is a religion usually driven by the greed of corporations and manipulative agendas by financial entities.

The cheek! Quoting 'societal harm' back at us whilst very unscientifically going for our jugulars.

When they silence the opposition it is an admission that their position is unsupported by the facts. For that would become apparent in any open discussion/debate. And that cannot be allowed now that we have broken the seal on wholesale censorship. Note, they are reaching for their new weapon without consciously thinking about it. It has been normalised.

In the post-truth era this is the new modus operandi. Talk to the hand, until I can tape your mouth shut because I don't like what you're saying. And possibly sue you. For telling the truth.

As Alex Epstein detailed in Fossil Future, the changes to Earth are well within the ability of humans to adapt, as we have always adapted. Change didn't just start happening with fossil fuel use, it has always been with our species. And many of the changes will be net beneficial for human flourishing. Additional CO2 will actually help green the planet, making farming more productive. More warmth will actually reduce cold-related deaths - which far outnumber heat-related deaths. More-over, abundant energy, accessible by increasing numbers of currently energy-deprived people will improve their quality of life immeasurably. Including providing ways of dealing with the changes that are happening.

Note also their conflation, anti-vaxxx, denialism! Simple reason that may present. Once you are aware of gaslighting in one domain you become sensitized to it, aware of it. Less likely to sleep through it. To remain hypnotised as the waves of conditioning wash over us.

Ironically, their jumping of the Corona-Shark with such blatant BS has woken many millions to the rich tapestry of gaslighting that is our modern narrative management system.

Just as they have opened many eyes to the utter travesty of vaccination in general, another rich tapestry of lies and human carnage. Where medical coercion was first normalised. Based on lies. Talk about unintended consequences for Big (P)harma! Flew too close to the Sun, ole AlbertB!

Gaia Cultists will complete the destruction of our species accelerated by the Covid Cultists since 2020. They have told us their plans - with glossy brochures and snappy titles like Agenda 2030 and Net Zero - and our place in their plans (that latter is in the fine print). Their plans are a lethal threat to each and every one of us. Literally destroying global supply chains and food/energy systems. Billions will die if they are allowed to execute their plans. And once again, the hypnotized masses are acting as their foot-soldiers.

I note that Belgium just closed a reactor that was providing 10% of its electricity needs, with no emissions. No issues prompted the closure; in the middle of a continent-wide energy crisis.

Tell me they're not Anti-Human?

Those are lies, the claims nonetheless - they are weighting those figures, they've gone back and reworked them. In the US, a crew went and checked all the NOAA weather measuring stations and found they were all of 3-4 degrees high.

Even so - the raw data untouched by NOAA shows no "warming," in fact several cooling periods.

I lost my s f taxicab license 2007 when. I ran for mayor of s f against Gavin and ScKamala put me in jail.

Read about it in Grasshopper's Appeal in my substack, about half way thru that effort to post so far in chapters.

I sure hope you don't go to jail like I did

It is interesting to look back at the long term "climate records", you know the graphs which show things like atmospheric CO2 and temperature 1 million, 10 million, 100 million years ago. They came up with those "measurements" by extrapolating data from rocks or ice formed during those long ago times before any humans had any ability to make actual measurements of the actual things happening.

Now I am sure they have really good methods for making those calculations and they may be really accurate, even super accurate but there is a problem. They never tell us what the resolution of those graphs are. Since we are talking about 500 million years, that is what they show in the graphs after all, we clearly can't be looking at yearly temperatures, So is it the average temperature over a decade? Century? 1 millennium? 10 millennium? 100 millennium? A million years? It is important to know that because they really like to tell us the temperature rise over the last century is "unprecedented". But if they are looking at a 1 million year resolution then they cannot possibly know that today's "climate change" is actually unprecedented. Even at a 1,000 year resolution they can't possibly know that any warming over the past 50 years is "faster than ever seen". And when you get right down to it, even 150 years ago there were no accurate mass produced thermometers so even the data from then back is conjecture to a degree, pardon the pun.

So what do we know for sure? Really not a whole lot. For some reason we have a bad habit of placing weather stations at airports. 100 years ago that wasn't a big deal, pilots needed accurate weather prediction and what better place to take the temperature. But back then runways were strips of grass, today they are a square mile or more of concrete and asphalt. I worked at a major airport for several years out on the ramp. It is hotter there than just a mile or 2 away. Same with cities. Always hotter there, yet that is where we take the temperature now, even though it has no real comparison to the same areas a century ago.

So, where does it leave us? In a window primed for manipulation. Make no mistake, we are being manipulated far more than we know.

Outrageous and clearly heading towards criminalizing speech. Hard to believe people buy this obvious BS but they do somehow. Thank you for pointing it out.

@ Meryl. What do you do for a living without your medical license?

I thought it must have started with the vaccines, but nope it all started with Santa Klaus even then I didn’t believe my mother hiding under a wig and with a beard. Climate change? another beard and a wig

Confused and Frustrated

Meryl and others, I have recently made several posts, including one below, that refers to the dire and immediate threat of geoengineering.

This seems to be the only major issue that is being ignored by media and the environmental community. Not only is it creating the drastic weather senerios that we are experiencing, but there are aircraft spraying poisons that effect our every breath, as well as the entire web of life.

Despite the fact that I have offered the geoengineeringwatch.org website that more than adequately supports my claims, I seem to be receiving the the same deafening silence here on this site that I get from every major news, weather or scientific source

And we all know that these institutions are lying to us.

Is this problem too hot to handle? Does it appear too insane to be true. Is is something that no one wants to face? Fifteen years of proof is available. But, please look at it before you dismiss this subject.

I apologize for being so emphatic, but we won't be around for any type of reset, great or otherwise, or any more fake medical cures unless these weather modification programs are soon stopped. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks, Larry

Spanish Flu began in Kansas.

Here is a documentary by German Public Broadcast Service showing the lies by governments during WWI. Many more millions died.
