For the second year in a row, it has become difficult to impossible for the usual suspects to play their tiny drought violins to scare the uninformed. Heat, however, has come in waves when it has not been cool. We had three very hot days in this corner of the globe while other “corners” have had more heat for longer.
It’s hot this week, and we expect a few days to reach 90+ next week. The denizens of urban heat islands can expect it to be hotter, but you chose to live on all that concrete and asphalt, so don’t blame me. Stop off the plantation and feel the difference.
Remember Being Cool
No one seems all that interested in the cool or cold places, those experiences below average temps, because that doesn’t fit the narrative, and everything must do that, even if you have to change the narrative to make it so. Thankfully for the Climateers, it’s July, and that is rarely cool or cold, so the confirmation bias can run high. Hot days allow us to ignore months of cool nights (Maple Syrup Season felt like it ran long this year because of those cool nights, but no self-proclaimed news outlets around her ran stories about that.
We had our fair share of very cool nights well into June, like we always do.
History Still Says…
As is our habit, not that we’ve any choice, when the heat misers turn up their rhetoric, we have to remind people that the historical evidence tells us climate truths. Warming and cooling are cyclic. Atmospheric CO2 concentration has no connection to warming.
Things like rising ocean temperatures or heat waves aren’t your fault.
I know. You don’t believe in any power higher than yourself or the government, but neither of you is responsible, nor could you “fix” it if it were broken. However, since you care so much, consider giving up the heat-island living, break up the concrete, and move to the country.
There’s lots of room, all we ask is that you leave your dumbass urban-progressive politics in the asphalt jungles (which nature will reclaim faster than you can imagine. No demanding sidewalks and street lights, and all that crap. It warms the planet, if you take my meaning.
And none of those solar farms or bird choppers. You can’t live on that out here. You need oil, gas, propane, motor fuel, and wood (and I don’t mean biomass the way you understand it), especially in areas where winter means snow, ice, and cold, sometimes half the year, despite your claims of global warming.
Be sure to buy a generator and keep some fuel for it. Enough to last a week and more if you go further north. The lack of warming has a way of taking out power lines and making roads difficult for everyone, including power company line crews. It’s the trees, you see. The things that grow everywhere and in greater abundance when there’s more CO2. Cut a few down on your property, and then do nothing, and watch how fast nature takes it back.
We don’t need a Lorax. If you don’t mow the new growth regularly, you can eventually stop mowing altogether. The forest will take your entire yard in a few years without any extra effort on anyone’s part. The trees capture the CO2, and suddenly your yard seems increasingly cooler.
Strange, natural things, like temperature swings, sea level, ice ages, and all of that – you can’t stop any of it, and if you are stupid enough to think you broke it or that narcissistic psychopathic megalomaniacs laundering tax dollars to themselves through third parties can fix it, you’re extra stupid, what the scam artist calls a mark.
And if your plan was or is to continue making someone else pay to support acts of force to fund yourclaimte thing while you pretend to be morally superior, you’re an asshole. You are very likely also an elected Democrat, though there are exceptions. Don’t be like them, and please stop voting for them. Trust me, it’s the best thing you can do to improve your life (right before turning off the local and national TV news). Your future will get brighter than you can imagine, and the climate won’t care one way or the other.
