Quote of the Day
I’ve commented repeatedly that the term “climate change” was adopted (replacing “global warming”) because it isn’t falsifiable. Climate change has existed since the Earth acquired an atmosphere, and will continue to exist so long as that atmosphere exists. Ask any dinosaur.
Apart from that, paleoclimate data (readily available on-line) is very clear: temperatures have varied dramatically throughout the entire time of record. For example, for Greenland we can refer to the GISP-2 data, which is temperature data of the past 50k years obtained from ice cores drilled out of the central Greenland ice sheet. The first 38k years or so of that are ice age, but then about 12k years ago you see a dramatic warmup leading to the current interglacial era. Within that period, temperatures vary up and down by 4 C or so. And looking at the past 10k years, we see that (a) current temperatures are at least 1 C below the average of that period, (b) in the days of Leif Eriksson’s journeys to Greenland it was about average, i.e., 1 C warmer than now, (c) in the days of C. Julius Caesar it was 1 C warmer still, (e) the “pre-industrial” reference point used by the warming cult (including the UN) was — most likely intentionally — taken to be 1850, which is within a fraction of a degree of the coldest of the past 8000 years.
Or to put it in one sentence: science shows very clearly that anthropogenic climate change is utter fiction.

Comment to Ignoring the Obvious

Yesterday, pkoning sent me the image via email.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
BTW, one other interesting thing shown by the GISP-2 data is that temperature variations are substantially larger during the ice age than they were since then.
Very good!
We have the proof that it’s all just another lying power grab and control mechanism for the world order.
And what needs to happen is for power grids to become more localized operations through hydrocarbons.
Away from large systems like nuclear that only the megalomaniacs own and control. (And have the potential to destroy large swathes of our country for thousands of years at a time.)
But just like the gun arguments that have gone on for a century in this country.
Facts and reason have little to do with it.
Something tells me they won’t prevail in the energy markets either.
As the needs of AI are going to be 10x-20x the power we produce today.
Local hydrocarbon power might be the only way to keep the lights on for humans.
There a are lot of datasets and models that are… questionable. But you are not allowed to question them until some sort of irrefutable proof or confounding factors shows up.
