Extreme weather events are part of normal climate variability

The climate alarmists went again into overdrive - although 100% of their predictions turned out to be wrong, they keep insisting that humanity is changing the climate in dangerous ways.

They use every natural disaster or extreme climate event as "proof" that we must "urgently fight climate change" - like vampires, they try to exploit other people's misery to push a political agenda, which has absolutely nothing to do with the climate.

Hence a little reminder about historical climate events that should leave no doubts about the fact that extreme climate events have absolutely no correlation with human activities.

First a summary of global annual deaths due to climate events since 1900 - both heat waves and flooding were extremely common during the entire 20th century and were particularly severe until the 1960s. Since 2000, most natural disaster deaths were due to earthquakes, which are not climate events at all:

https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters#extreme-precipitation-and-flooding 

When you look at this data, remember that the world population was much smaller when millions of people died of floodings and droughts, while during the entire decade of 2010-2019 fewer than 1 million people died of natural disasters.

Population size, life expectancy and quality of life all increased massively:

Most of the really powerful cyclones and hurricanes occurred before 1900:

Hurricane frequency actually diminshed from 1980 to 2019:

Contrary to climate alarmist claims, there is no correlation between tropical cyclone energy and CO2 levels:

The number of strong to violent tornadoes in the US decreased:

This study confirms that major storms are associated with cold periods and that storm activity is clearly driven by solar activity:

Storms and flood levels decreased over the last 200 years:

Wildfires massively declined:

This trend has been obvious over the entire 20th century and goes back even further:

Droughts declined from 1982 to 2012:

Annual heat waves in the US were horrendous during the 1930s, but are down to almost nothing, now:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/heat-wave-index-usa 

The IPCC admitted in their 2013 AR4 report that there was no evidence of any CO2-related trend towards an increase in extreme weather events:

 

Propaganda lies and outright data fraud

Hansen, one of the worst climate alarmists, committed outright fraud when he presented the chart on the left, in the following image, to support his claim that US forest fires increased due to the increase in CO2 - he intentionally omitted the data from before 1960, which showed a dimetrically opposite trend. When you see this level of dishonesty, it become obvious that climate alarmists have no data to support their claims and instead just make up whatever seems convenient, counting on the average person's ignorance:

They did the same to create fear of arctic warming by cherry-picking data, when they did not outright alter the data, e.g. it's a lot harder to claim that Iceland is "warming rapidly" when you can see that it was much warmer than today in the 1930s:

NASA did much worse: they altered thousands of temperature records to cool the past and heat the present, to give an impression of continuous warming. Think I'm lying? Here are a few examples:

Here are the original links to the diagrams above:

Official past temperature curves were totally altered by NASA fraud to create what looks like a hockey stick:

The Australian BOM does the same thing:

Do CO2 & humanity have any influence?

The only long-term correlation between CO2 and global temperature over the last 540 million years is very weak and negative!

The cloud cover has a direct, measureable effect, unlike CO2:

Humanity might have influenced the global temperature by 0.01C:

http://ruby.fgcu.edu/courses/twimberley/EnviroPhilo/DrivingClimate.pdf 

Richard Muller, Professor of Physics, University of California, Berkeley; Founder and Scientific Director, Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST), formerly a strong supporter of the man-made climate change conjecture, admits in this interview that: "Looking at the data, I can see no evidence of human influence"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Moum_SZ5NNY&feature=youtu.be

Would it even be possible for humanity to have any influence on the climate?

What factors influence the climate, fundamentally?

  • Geothermal activity - we are sitting on a very thin crust of rock, which floats on lava, which is continuously heated by radioactive activity in the earth's core. The planet is basically a gigantic nuclear power plant.
  • Solar power, which is also the source of most, though by far not all climate variations
  • Atmospheric density
  • Water in all of its forms on the surface and in the atmosphere as vapor and clouds
  • The chemical composition of the atmosphere is totally irrelevant

Humanity's influence on the climate is so ridiculously small as to be totally irrelevant. At most, more CO2 could slightly increase the atmospheric density, but CO2 does not store or "reflect" heat.

Climate Alarmism is entirely based on fraud

As we've seen, there is no evidence for human influence on the climate, much less of catastrophic climate change. The climate is always changing, no matter what.

So why is the claim about man-made climate change / global warming so widespread? Because it's political propaganda orchestrated by very powerful interests.

They openly admit that they commit fraud:

https://dr.ntu.edu.sg/bitstream/10220/25015/1/Information Manipulation and Climate Agreements.pdf 

This 2001 study already established that climate change "science" was post-normal science, i.e. political propaganda:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1010636822581

The IPCC is totlaly controlled by the petrol industry, a fact which will only surprise those who do not really understand the global economic forces:

The entire climate hoax in and of itself would be bad enough. The main problem is that this fake science totally corrupted scientific research in general:

A typical example:

Academia is quite the opposite of what people think and how they present themselves: members of academic institutions are not free thinkers who strive for knowledge, they are followers of an extremely restrictive group-think where dissent is not tolerated and only very few dare to speak truth to power, as we've seen during the Wuhan virus pandemic:

We can conclude that the cult of "global warming" or "man-made climate change" is pure pseudoscience:

Climate predictions are consistently wrong

All the alarmist predictions since the 1960s were wrong - not just wrong, but ridiculously wrong.

Just 5 years after the "catastrophic global cooling" papers that were still published in 1978, the EPA "warned" about catastrophic global warming with horrendous changes to come between 1990 and 2000. Remember that they did not have a single "model" or any kind of climate data to support their claims. All of these "predictions" were pulled out of thin air:

Dire predictions by the UN in 1989, again without a shred of supporting evidence and it all turned out to be complete nonsense. Note how the date for when disaster would strike had now been moved forward. It's always a 10 to 15 year "window" in which "something has to be done":

In 2007, they claimed that we only had 13 years to save the earth, faithfully persisting in pushing back the 10-15 year window:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2007/may/05/climatechange.climatechangeenvironment

In 2019, AOC said we had "13 years before the world would end".

"Millennials, and Gen z, and all these folks that come after us, are looking up and we're like 'the world will end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'"

https://twitter.com/People4Bernie/status/1087443780565782528?s=20

But her own chief of staff admitted that it was not about the climate...

AOC’s Chief of Staff Admits the Green New Deal Is Not about Climate Change

And then AOC backtracked and pretended that her very serious statement (cf. video) should be seen as "dry humor and sarcasm" - oh, wait, it was "sarcasm" to say that "the world will end in 12 years"? 😂😂😂

"This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and 'fact check' it," she said. "Like the 'world ending in 12 years' thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows."

'Out of context': AOC backtracks on claim climate change will end world in 12 years

Scientific America published an article about how we should not fact-check politicians who promote the climate change agenda in support of AOC 🤔 So much for the "science" part in their name...it had become hopelessly partisan:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dont-fact-check-scientific-judgment-calls/ 

Sorry, but we are not going to give up on the principles of science - anyone who makes politically relevant claims about a scientific issue must be fact-checked and if it is found that the claim was false, this person must be denounced as a liar. Baseless fearmongering is never acceptable. Entire generations of children grew up in fear about the future, which gravely impacted their ability to live normal, happy lives. Most of them still cling to false beliefs. Millions decided not to have children based on the lies they were told about the climate, thus leading to a catastrophic demographic decline in western countries - a crime against humanity!

Conclusion

Any claims about humanity altering the global climate - through CO2 or any other method - is pure Lysenkoism. The people pushing the "Global Warming" agenda are all ideologically on the far left or pursue economic interests while using the ideological communists as propaganda tools. And their control over scientific institutions is very similar to that in the USSR.

The "partnership" the WEF signed with the UN should largely explain why they now push Marxism and why they promoted Greta as propaganda tool. They will gain enormous power and money by exploiting this climate alarmism:

https://www.weforum.org/press/2019/06/world-economic-forum-and-un-sign-strategic-partnership-framework

The climate does what the climate does: it is chaotic, unpredictable and sometimes extremely violent. Nothing we do will change anything about the climate. Prof.Curry is one of the climate experts who admits this openly, as in this interview from January 2021:

Interview: Climate Change – A Different Perspective with Judith Curry

Don't believe their propaganda. Giving more money and power to governments to "protect the climate" or "saving CO2" will have absolutely ZERO effect. None whatsoever.

In November 2015, she gave a fantastic speech about Obama's climate agenda:

Sheffield, in the UK, suffered a man-made flood in 1886 after a dam burst - not really a climate event, but still worth mentioning:

https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/victims-sheffields-great-flood-remembered-155-years-disaster-devastated-city-82034

Great Mississippi Flood, 1927; at least 1000 people died

Venice floods, 1933

Lynmouth floods, 1952 

Barcelona floods, 1962, at least 800 deaths

Florence floods, 1966 

While the current floodings in Germany were devastating, it must never be forgotten that they were much worse in the past!
