When I Covered Climate Change for Reuters I Thought CO2 Was Certainly to Blame for Rising Temperatures. I Was Wrong
dailysceptic.org/2023/02/23/when-i-covered-climate-change-for-reuters-i-thought-co2-was-to-blame-for-rising-temperatures-i-was-wrong/The BBC and the mainstream media regularly frighten everyone with the latest climate disaster news with pictures of floods, fires and hurricanes, always followed by scary predictions that things will only get worse unless mankind mends its irresponsible ways.
My alma mater Reuters, the global news agency, used to be above all this hysteria and would relentlessly apply its traditional standards of fairness and balance, but even this mainstream outfit seems to have sold out to the hysterics and axe grinders.
The trouble is, many if not all of these disaster stories, far from being another step in a worsening scenario, are often nothing of the kind. In a recent book Unsettled. What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, And Why It Matters, Steven Koonin uses the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change data to show that if reporters took the trouble to do a minimum amount of checking, most of these incidents would appear to be natural disasters, yes, but not part of some ever worsening syndrome.
And so it goes.

I always found humor in the models predicting the poles melting in short time frames like a hundred years or two. The latent heat required for the phase change from ice to water is incredibly large. Thousands of years would be the actual scenario. Phase Changes
So far, we have learned that adding thermal energy by heat increases the temperature of a substance. But surprisingly, there are situations where adding energy does not change the temperature of a substance at all! Instead, the additional thermal energy acts to loosen bonds between molecules or atoms and causes a phase change. Because this energy enters or leaves a system during a phase change without causing a temperature change in the system, it is known as latent heatopenstax.org/books/physics/pages/11-3-phase-change-and-latent-heat |

Thousands of years would be the actual scenario. Fair enough, but I cannot dismiss the changes I have seen. We are only seeing a tiny slice of time. Some decades. In the scheme of 100's, 1000's, 10,000's, etc years our tiny observations arent necessarily statistically significant. |

Climate change is a war on human beings. They want to create fear. And the "carbon" they want to control is you. Creating fear so people will give up their liberties to be controlled and corralled.

Cause all the little Demonazis want you to ride around in Smart Cars cause they can't afford anything bigger so why should you? Same with your gas stoves, your big non solar powered house, your sport cars.. It's penis envy  |

To those who want to believe it's a hoax, no amount of blizzards in California, winter tornadoes in the south, heat waves in usually mild temperature countries or devastating floods worldwide can convince them or make them question why such things are occurring with more frequency. truth Weather and climate are two different things. Weather is short term while climate is long term. Nobody sane denies extreme weather; the argument is about the longer term patterns. And if you study that the picture isn't the simplistic one painted by the eco lobby. |

"I'm late for the MAGA rally. Better jump in the truck!"  NICE! That would come in handy for snow drifts. But hubby hates Red so we'll just take the Yukon out instead |

If I could afford multiple vehicles I would definitely buy one of those. My parking problems would be over. Yeah you could just put it in your pocket |

We have had all those things long before man was spraying his underarms. |

Lookit' all the bad weather, never seen so much before...   |
