"The scientists and computers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were confidently predicting that the frigid weather would continue. The chilling pronouncement of NOAA's senior climatologist: 'The forecast is for no change.' " - Time Magazine, 1977
[Unless you lived in Athens that year which holds the record for the highest temperature ever recorded in Europe - 118.4°F (48.0°C) was reached on July 10, 1977 in Athens as well as in the town of Elefsina.]
Wait! No we are not going to freeze to death, we are going to dry out and burn up!
Nope, just found this - If Leonard Nimoy says we are going to freeze then that’s got to be it…
"Climate experts believe the next ice age is on its way." - Leonard Nimoy, 1978
The Pentagon agrees with Nimoy - we are going to freeze…
Pentagon 2002 Report: Between 2010 and 2020 Europe is hardest hit by climatic change with an average annual temperature drop of 6F. Climate in Britain becomes colder and drier as weather patterns begin to resemble Siberia.
Hang on… No, we are going to dry out and burn to death…
2009: Al Gore references computer modeling to suggest that the north polar ice cap may lose virtually all of its ice within the next seven years. "Some of the models suggest that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years," says Gore.
Yep, we are going to burn up - they knew it back in the 80s…
CBS 1980 - watch from 12:09 - Global warming…
But just not in 2021 I guess…
Nevertheless the CO2 / Global Warming crisis continues at a frantic pace (so we must be burning up)…
But don’t worry, Bill Gates is going to block out the sun for us and save the world from a warming climate (because he was so successful at stopping a virus, so we really should trust him with the whole planet)…
Confused by all the experts who were so absolutely sure of what was going to happen?
Something IS going on with the weather, there are extremes, but it’s probably a stretch to contribute it all to CO2, the planet goes through cycles - long cycles. I’m not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I know a little about propaganda, the use of fear and ‘crisis’ to manipulate populations, so you have to forgive me for being a little sceptical about this long standing crisis of ‘climate change’.
Just as so much of what has happened over the past 2 years has had nothing to do with our health, so too will the ‘climate crisis’ be used as an excuse for control that has nothing to do with the climate. When we are all in our pods constricted to the Metaverse and can’t go out and explore the real world (because we humans are so damn dangerous to the world, right?) you’ll know (or your grandkids will) that it was all a ploy. But hey! You’ll own nothing and be happy, right? I guess that’s what counts.
Surface temperatures in the Sargasso Sea (a two million square-mile region of the Atlantic Ocean) with time resolution of 50 to 100 years and ending in 1975, as determined by isotope ratios of marine organism remains in deep-sea sediments. The horizontal line is the average temperature for this 3,000-year period. The Little Ice Age and the Medieval Climate Optimum were naturally occurring, extended intervals of climate departures from the mean. A value of 0.25 degrees C, which is the change in Sargasso Sea temperature between 1975 and 2006, has been added to the 1975 data in order to provide a 2006 temperature value [Singer et al.]
…higher CO2 levels with slightly warmer temperatures increase the productivity of most plants. The result is a greening of the planet, combating the effects of fires, deforestation, pest outbreaks, and other attacks on Earth’s vegetation. As the planet greens, dry climates become fertile, supporting plant life which in turn feeds both humans and animals.
This CO2 fertilization correlated with an 11 percent increase in foliage cover from 1982-2010 across many arid regions of the world. Think of the resulting benefits, including the reduction of hunger, disease, and poverty in Africa and the Middle East. These are virtuous goals and far more achievable if nature is allowed to take her course as compared to climate activists holding concerts and wearing colored ribbons on their lapels.
What if this is not really about the climate? Environmentalists and the UN Climate Change Conference push in the opposite direction, promoting less atmospheric CO2 and cooler temperatures which in effect will lead to a “browning” of the Earth. Ironically the UN charter includes among its goals, “To promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.” How better to accomplish this than by fertilizing the planet with the cheapest and most effective plant food known to man, CO2.

I don't own a car. I don't have a job. I don't socialise (people smell!)!. Lockdown did not mean that much to me. I prefer seafood and egg. So there! :)
Ah you are the perfect small carbon footprint citizen we like to see. We just need to get you off the seafood and eggs and onto some nice synthetic shrimp and egg. Then you will really be saving the planet. Oh, and stop encouraging the crazy conspiracy theorists on Substack who believe the government is trying to control you - maybe then you will be the perfect citizen ;-)
Many parallels to be sure. It was obvious before 2020 that mass society was experiencing a slow motion psychotic break, as demonstrated by the pervasive hysteria on climate, race, gender, Trump, and so on.
The absolute all time best book to read on this is former Greenpeace activist Patrick Moore's book "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom", especially chap 3 "Climate of Fear and Guilt". It will open your eyes. Bottom line: we NEED co2 because plants need co2, and we are reaching dangerously low levels of co2 on this planet. And yes, not enough co2 could lead to a kill off of vegetation and a real ice age (which we've had in the past).
Yes I remember doing a video interview with an older guy who had immersed himself in the science for years and had all these amazing statistics about how we need more CO2 not less - just as you say. If we continue to reduce CO2 crops will suffer, etc. I'll have to dig out the video and post it.
This is precisely Moore's point, and he has much data and graphs. Greenhouses buy tanks of compressed CO2 to enhance plant growth. We must also remember that more plants mean more oxygen (O2) released with photosynthesis so forests are also the planet's "lungs". Thanks for this!
This is a nice demonstration of the essential role played by societal memory. Those who recall the extensive and inglorious prediction record of the doom-mongering social engineers are largely immunized against whatever absurdity the usual suspects are pushing in the Current Year. Which is precisely why they do everything they can to ensure the average person has the attention span of a goldfish.
Agreed. Which is why there's a young generation, passionately outraged that we (the older ones) have put the planet into a nosedive, completely oblivious to the history of climate alarmism. Their information based on incessant social media feeds spewing out the latest propaganda in 5-10 second attention gabbing bits of hysteria while ensuring anything contrary goes in the memory hole. (And there's lots of older people too - I want to be equitable here - who fall for the alarmism. Generally they are the ones who are on a IV feed of MSM and nothing else.)
Yup. It is all about the sun and our magnetic field. This field is called "cosmo-climatology". One of the experts on this is Robert M. Schoch PhD who studied the weathering of the Great Sphinx and dates it to at least 10,000 BC. His book "Forgotten Civilization: the Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future" is brilliant. It will blow your mind. The global warming hoax is a crock. If Gates gets his way with blocking sunlight, this planet could very well be doomed to another ice age that could last 10,000 years. This is serious s##t.
Thanks for the lead - I'll have to get that book! And yes, let's hope we don't let Gates do one of the most stupid things an opportunist business psychopath could do to the planet.
It is beaut here in SW Sydney. Oi!
Nice. So no need to lock you down, take away your car or force you to eat synthetic meat today?

Nice work Winston. Global Warming left me cold as well 🙄
There is soooo much to say about this topic - I'll ease into it - so many similarities to the Covidian crowd!
Many parallels to be sure. It was obvious before 2020 that mass society was experiencing a slow motion psychotic break, as demonstrated by the pervasive hysteria on climate, race, gender, Trump, and so on.
Great minds!

LOL! Love it! (I missed that one from the Guardian, but then there's so many to choose from!) I'll pop your one in the post. Thanks!

Just saw this https://www.brighteon.com/2f952e89-f601-4a11-91a8-b6918a36c0a4 about the earth's magnetic field as a more plausible explanation for crazy weather.

Primary goal of this Fraud: transfer even more Wealth (via taxes and financial markets)!
Secondary goal: to keep the countries that are not part of the Club from developing to our (western club countries and a few asian) level.
Both are going pretty well...
spot on.
That would be great. Thanks.
