The Earth is Warming … Since When?

We’ve had a warm winter where I live. A statist stooge in neighboring Vermont said it’s the warmest winter on record. Oh yeah, since when? The correct answer is since the last time they had a warmer winter because that would mess with the narrative.

Our New England winter was warm, no doubt about it. And they are on their CO2 high horse shouting about how the emissions are coming (the emissions are coming). But none of that is delivered in any context, certainly not historically, and that’s the first of two Achilles heels on the climate cult. Yeah, they’ve got two.

The first is that they’ve been manipulating or ignoring data to keep a political agenda alive (as you well know, the warming narrative has nothing to do with temperature or the health of you or the planet).

The second is that there is net-zero evidence that even if the earth did warm a few degrees, any of their cataclysmic predictions would occur (none have to date) or that warming would not be good for everyone.

Historically, great civilizations have risen during more significant warming than any we’ve experienced (depending on when you start) – because we’ve actually been cooling. A few warm winters do not make global warming. Likewise, a few cold ones do not mean the opposite. You need unmanipulated a-political historical data to make any comparison, so the yahoo claiming Vermont just had its warmest winter needs to be asked … since when?

Feel free to ponder why. They might be on the dole from the grant machine or just another useful idiot—the sort who still wear masks in their car alone or acted as pro-bono sales reps for Pfizer and Moderna’s safe and effective marketing campaign.

All of that is fine until it starts to affect the lives of others, as both the Climate and COVID Cults did and do. There’s no ramp if you think they are cherry-picking the details. But Australian geologist Prof. Ian Plimer is back to help.

Professor Pilmer’s words have made a few appearances on our pages, most recently last November when we shared his observations and evidence regarding CO2.

“[Six of the six] great ice ages started when we had more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now. We have 0.04% of that gas in the atmosphere… Well that means nothing to me, because the atmosphere has changed in its carbon dioxide content from over 20% to now, which is really low in geological time. If we halved it, all plant life would die, and animals would die.”

He’s back—or at least we’re noticing something he’s said is back—with another bit of wisdom regarding the notion of warming, which the headline gives away. Warming…since when?
