It’s almost Summer. That means another apocalyptic season of Biblical proportions. Or is it another season of biblical apocalypses? Boiling seas, all manner of tempests, raining fire, swarms of frogs, hell like infernos, and (of course) rising seas that swallow the sinners, Noah-like but with some dry land left to which true believers may cling.
Or not.
Many of the Climate Cult’s most vocal advocates exhibit the contradictory habit of purchasing beachfront properties. The seas will rise to swallow the lands, just not the ones I paid millions for so I could have a front row seat to my own hypocrisy. I know it’s odd. As if they thought they could get a better deal on waterfront views if they lied about the seas rising. Pay the Union of Concerned Scientists to release a partisan report about climate model predictions that partisan media then hyperbolize, and so on.
It’s less effort than walking the street corners in a homespun robe and sandals with a sandwich board – the end is near!
And the Lord said they will buy oceanfront property and predict catastrophic sea level rise, but the climate predictors and their models have done a poor job of guessing the future. It’s almost as if they don’t have a clue what they’re doing and are just making things up to advance some political agenda (/snark).
Hurricane Season
We’re a week into the Hurricane fearmongering season, and we’ve already got three tropical storms…in the Pacific. They are all west of Mexico and headed away from land. At least so far.
Tropical weather is – it seems – a lot like High School girls—unpredictable drama.
We’ve got Tropical Storm Barbara and two potential tropical cyclones developing. A busy start on that side of the continent, but the Atlantic Basin has yet to produce any meaningful rotating weather. It will. Be patient.
Heat and Drought
New Hampshire (it has been announced), despite a few decades of record precipitation, is no longer in a drought. Based on my local experience, if my yard is wet but not flooded, it’s drought. Flooded years mean no drought. My yard has been wet since last autumn (snow, then rain). It’s marshy, so when I take the Labrado out to do his business, the bug racket is well fed to a chorus of snapping carcasses of mosquitoes.
BzzzT! Snap!
Elsewhere, you may have seen headlines about Germany’s extreme heat and drought. Not enough Wind idols have been erected to appease the angry weather gods, if you ask them. Perhaps they need to clear more old-growth CO2-capturing forest for another solar farm. Stop reopening coal plants in the winter to keep people from freezing. That’ll do the trick.
Germany’s official heat plan includes educating victims of green energy policy abuses about the heat and drought, as well as what to do, the end of the world, and all that.
. One town had a big event planned, but had to cancel it. Too cold and wet.
I See Ice, Not Sea Level Rise
The decades-long prognostications that we’re melting the ice caps are such beautiful wickedness. Encroaching seas swallow up the land and everything on it, including you. Only tax hikes laundered to favored industries will stop it, or nature refusing to cooperate.
We’ve been inundated with repeated predictions of a sudden, perhaps even dramatic increase in sea level rise. Hockey stick like. Abrupt and inevitable unless we raise taxes to pay for wind machines, increase the cost of everything, make electricity a luxury, and trade in our cars and trucks for bicycles.
The dramatic and sudden rise is the trigger, but aside from Democrats, a majority of Americans aren’t all in once you get past some recycling. Funny thing is, neither are the ICE caps. The sort of melt-off our irresponsible lifestyles are supposed to initiate hasn’t happened. Polar ICE packs are adding ice.
Published March 19 in the peer reviewed Springer Nature journal Science China Earth Sciences, the research team found that Antarctica’s melting glaciers caused the “global mean sea level” (GMSL) to rise by “5.99±0,52 mm ( milllimeteres) by February 2020. Then the ice began accumulating in the followed three years, “ultimately resulting in a total GMSL contribution of 5.10±0.52 mm by the end of 2023.”
Moving to the North Pole, a March 29 analysis by four researchers led by Mark England from the University of Bristol, published in the ESS Open Archive research platform wrote, “Over the past two decades, Arctic sea ice loss has slowed considerably, with no statistically significant decline in September sea ice area since 2005. This pause is robust across observational datasets, metrics, and seasons.”
Greenland has added 622 billion tons of new ice this year.
That might be why Trump wants to buy it—natural ice for party drinks on the Trump train.
The obvious problem is that if nature is storing water as ice and less of it is melting, any sudden leap in annual sea level rise is, how to put this gently, not fucking likely.
Local sea level trends continue to be incredibly dull and nothing at all like the ravings of the climate cult’s catastrophists–chicken littles wearing William Westmancott or Desmond Merrion. We’re still at 2.21 mm/year (Seavey Island, ME) despite aspirations for something much more significant. That’s the post-ice-age norm.
No evidence of the acceleration required to satisfy the predictions of a money pit that has yet to get anything right, except how to waste other people’s money.
The Trump Administration is rightly putting the brakes on the fraud and attempting to stop or claw back payments to perpetuate it, but that’s a big job, and it will take time—more than they have.
Unless, of course, you agree and show up to vote like-minded individuals into office in every election until the fraud is fully exposed. Yes, the lack of accelerated sea rise and the changes in ice mass are proof, but very few people will ever learn about it.
Unless you tell them.
