The fact is earth has been in a warming trend for thousands of years. 17,000 years ago a sheet of ice five times the height of the Seattle Space Needle covered that location (research the Vashon Stade). A mere 800 years later the area was free of permanent ice. Today one finds temporary ice at that location only rarely. The perfectly evident fact is dramatic and rapid global warming occurred absent burning of fossil fuels. Furthermore since humans began burning fossil fuels atmospheric CO2 has only increased by 1.4 parts per 10,000; a trace amount. Finally note that the political ideologues pushing the climate change narrative are always pushing some narrative in an attempt to control through fear. There is no reason to believe the global warming crusade is anything more than a manipulative political narrative.

Your last sentence…you know that, and I know that, and everyone here knows that, but so many do not. They have been manipulated for decades. My husband told me about a kid who was crying into his cellphone about global warming. The kid was maybe 12…that was about 20 years ago. My husband said it was a form of child abuse to make this poor kid so anxious.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." -- Joseph Goebbels

We are entering a Grand Solar Minimum which would AGAIN prove the theory to believe the OPPOSITE of what the gubmint and media says.

We're in a solar maximum right now. It lasts 11 years. The next minimum might be lower temps than the last.

Expand full comment

We're on a maximum...WITHIN a Grand Minimum.

Think of small cogs whizzing away within a slower moving, more affective large cog construction

Regular mins and maxes generally last 7-11 years. They are couched within Grand Min and Grand Max cycles which last ten times that, roughly

Expand full comment

Actually when you have a solar minimum, there is MORE heat coming from the sun - because sunspots are cooler areas of the sun and during a 'minimum' there's bugger all sunspot activity. So solar maximums tend to be cooler and minimums tend to be warmer. At least in Australia that is true! Our bushfire season in 2019/2020 with the last solar minimum was AWFUL. However, the current solar cycle looks like it will be higher, so perhaps it won't go down so low after, either, so maybe in about 8 years we won't have terrifying bushfires that burn half our country again...!

There is also something else to consider: there is often more 'stormy' weather when pronounced solar minimums happen (ie really low minimums). So if you get cold weather in winter somewhere, well, in more pronounced solar minimums, maybe you get REALLY cold weather - with wild snowstorms etc. Or if you get bushfires in summer somewhere, maybe during that pronounced solar minimum you might get REALLY bad bushfires (like what happened in Oz in 2019/2020).

Things are not always as straightforward as one thinks - and what's happening now has invariably happened at some time in the past!

Exactly. The climate alarm histrionics have been making me crazy since way before covid. While making the pushers of this epic hoax obscenely rich. It seems there is no amount of failed “models” or “predictions” or cold hard facts that can convince the masses of how badly they’re being played.

1.4 parts per 10,000 sounds right, or 140 ppm. This is a significant rise, because CO2 is already only a trace. El Gato reproduced a chart here a few weeks ago, which I found also displayed at a local museum exhibit touting global warming fear, that indicated that we are at 412 ppm atmospheric CO2 now, up from somewhat below 320 ppm in 1960, and apparently increasing linearly or slightly exponentially. That would put atmospheric CO2 at about 270 ppm at the point when humans began burning fossil fuel (late 1700s ?).

Plants should like the increased CO2 levels, and might grow faster. But I don't think we'd want it too high, for our own sake. It has been as high as almost 8,000 ppm in the Cambrian, and later peaked again at almost 3,000 ppm in the late Jurassic (Brontosaurus days). I think that's about the equivalent of what you get when you wear a face mask. Measurable cognitive decline has been reported by some commenter on these stacks at between 1,000 and 1,500 ppm.

Another chart shown by the museum tracked CO2 levels over the past 800,000 years, falling and rising with the glacial and interglacial phases. In all that time, it never got above about 300 ppm. The suggestion of the chart was that high CO2 translated to high global temperatures, as it is supposed to be a greenhouse gas. This did not seem supported to me, since measured temperature did not shoot up along with that very recent spurt in CO2 level, which obviously must come from humans recently burning fossil fuels. Also, there is nothing to explain a prior, wave-like rise and fall in CO2 to cause the temperature shifts. The fluctuations in global temperature, I think, are controlled mainly by solar and orbital cycles.

Just starting to fix in on the climate argument, after decades of being agnostic. If anyone understands this better than I do, corrections would be welcome.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Worth noting, we should expect changes in atmospheric CO2 with changes in global temperatures due to biosphere carbon cycle impacts and changing solubility of gases in sea water with changing temperature. Changes in atmospheric CO2 would certainly be expected as a consequence of, rather than cause of, changes in global temperatures. No doubt burning of fossil fuels is having an impact as well although considerable buffering may well be occurring, again due to carbon cycle equilibrium.

Expand full comment

Yes, that's what I think I'm understanding here. The CO2 levels and the global temperature levels tracked each other almost exactly in that 800,000 year chart. The CO2 should be measurable in ice cores, but don't know what proxy they were using for temperature. I'm reserving a slight suspicion that the temperature chart might have just been a hypothetical projection of CO2 by the chart's creator, and then confused by someone else as an amazingly close correspondence. Otherwise, maybe they could get temperature by the ratio of some other chemical in the ice, perhaps O2:O3, or something. Assuming the plots are really independent, I suppose the oceans release more CO2 when they warm, and absorb it back again when the climate cools. In that case, CO2 would fluctuate with temperature in pre-modern times, and shoot up in modern times when we burn all that fossil fuel. But that's an extraneous input that might have little influence on temperature.

Expand full comment

I don't have the link now, but I clearly recall reading that the historical data showed a lag of about 800 years between temperature rising, FOLLOWED by CO2 rising afterwards, suggesting the CO2 is the effect not the cause. It was most likely on Watts Up With That... he's been following this thing for ages.

Like facts about Covid, doesn't matter for the agenda. The groundwork has been laid already and once the pandemic has been set aside, the climate agenda will return. The entire Biden administration is prepared to shove it down out throats. So far they have done a good job in trying to end fossil fuels production but the nation is not even close to being able to meet energy needs so they may cause a lot of suffering. Whether the public is ready for the "necessary sacrifices" remains to be seen. Our kids have been exposed to the propaganda for a very long time in preparation.

One of the biggest reasons the North went to war with the South was the fact that they would lose the warm water ports. We were just starting out of the Little Ice Age in 1861 and NY and Boston Harbors were mostly ice choked in winter. There go the tariffs and import/export business for the North. Lincoln had the businessmen screaming in one ear and the abolitionists in the other. The South seceded mostly to defend slavery, but the North went to war for that oldest of reasons....money.

Expand full comment

Probably worth pointing out that one of the important motivations for keeping slavery was - you guessed it - also money. The south had large farms, having to actually PAY the workers would have made life a lot harder for the land owners.

The one silver lining from Covid is that it exposed the narrative enforcement nonsense of the corporate media in stark detail. It's amazing how so many "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true in the span of a few months. Corporate media credibility is at all times lows because of this, and it has enabled new individual media services like Substack to thrive.

Last year, I read some random article that talked about the fact that many people wanted the lockdowns and wanted them to continue.

The gist of it is this: in normal world, some people can't compete. At all. And they feel (gasp!) bad about themselves. The Horror.

But... once everyone was stuck at home, the people who can't compete in the world didn't feel like a loser, because EVERYONE was stuck at home alone. So there was no competition. And they finally felt good about themselves.

That's one of the reasons people will support future lockdowns. To "level the playing field" so that everyone is a loser.

I have gotten to the point where I can see that basically they write movie scripts 40, 50, 60, even 70 years ahead.... pay academia and hollywood to create what's needed and act them out. Covid was created. Climate is a screen play. And we are all the ones who are going to die.

I did a lot for Trauma-Informed stuff in Medicine and getting the Public to Recognize "ACEs" aka Adverse Childhood Experiences. I didn't realize when I joined 10 years ago that the main funder of the group I worked with was RWJF ( That's Johnson and Johnson). I went back and saw that since 1972 when RWJF was formed, they have been working on transforming Health in America to Socialist and I think, Transhumanism. You can follow this and see how characters were literally created (like the former Cal Surgeon General) and the ACE study. That study was created by a group of Individuals including Kaiser Permanente, CDC, J&J, Gates Foundation - to get all these entities into Public Health on the Ground for things like Impact Investing, Public Private Partnerships, and basically the total control of every humans life from Conception to the Grave (which I am convinced at this point is a goal, get us in the grave as quick as possible).

RWJF paid for this group that was originally run by a Journalist.... It went from zero to 50,000 people in a few years. It was supposed to be about lowering kids ACE Score. But It transformed into Whites are Racists because they were born, Kids need to be activists and Antifa Members, kids all belong to the state and not to parents, 100 percent of kids are trans, Burning down businesses and property is excellent and in January when Jane handed it over to Ingrid, Pivoting to Climate Change. Climate Change and continuing to propagandize kids to believe that they are monsters for being born, monsters for having the gene for low melanin content in skin, monsters for being oppressive for existing and you need to do something about it and that something needs to be whatever we say it is. The people who rule this world are psychopathic criminals who will use kids and burn them to the ground to destroy everything and that includes the "media," medical schools, pediatrics departments, academic medical centers, Public Health, Colleges (they forced kids to take that lethal shot when they have every capability to determine that it wasn't safe 1.5 years ago). Anyway - Climate is next and it's being focused like a laser at kids. I absolutely despise the scum doing.
