April showers bring May flowers, but for a little while, at least this year, it looked like April showers brought May showers. We got a break from the cold and the rain this past week; the same week, NOAA updated its precipitation data.
April was above average again.
It’s not the most exciting news unless you get it and need to get it. The Climate Cult is at war with your way of life. The enviro-fascist movement and its political agitators drive policy on a handful of oft-repeated lies. The temperature is the big one. Everything orbits around the theory that a few degrees of warming will be cataclysmic. That’s nonsense. Rubbish. Absurd. We’re living despite the lie as I type this. It is so not true they had to stop calling it warming. It’s climate change. And the climate changes morning to night, every day, week, month, season, and throughout the years. That’s not on you.
Another Climate Cult (methane impaired) sacred cow has two parts – too much rain (flooding) or not enough rain (drought). We always have too much or too little. It’s never baby bear. The climate can’t be just right (even though these last few days in New England fit the bill). So, we have to talk about it. People need to know or be reminded.
Example
Rainfall in April and early May gave the Cult media an excuse to roll out the narratives on flooding and blame CO2, which means you. There was a flood of headlines about it. But if the recent absence of daily showers (doing business as lovely weather for the next few days) persists, they will flip the coin and work the drought narrative.
As I’ve noted previously, and at least a few times this year, the annual drought festival narrative is coming. When it does, no one will remember the extra precipitation we keep getting in April. And that matters because it counts.
Looking back, you can compare total annual precipitation against historical averages and the planned outrage required to advance dangerous partisan political agendas like Net-Zero. Looking at the past 128 years, there’s no evidence that the lifestyle they want you to sacrifice is relevant to precipitation in April.
This is the average annual precipitation in New Hampshire from May to April from 1895-2023.
Where’s the drought? 1964-1968 when we were where? Heading into what the experts would predict as a new ice age. 1940-43. 1909-1915. 1979-1981.2001-2003. But New Hampshire has been above the 100-year mean more often than not.
It must be an infrastructure problem that Dems in Dover will address with a new utility that taxpayers can fund. So, ignore the drought talk when that comes up. Otherwise, there is a significant risk of flooding when we’re not on the odd-even water restrictions as our lakes and rivers dry up.
Here are 12 months, Aug to July, when it’s as warm and dry as you’d think we could get.
Not much to see is there, but if you listen to the screeching climate harpies, it’s the end of the world, rain or shine.
It’s not.
