Remember, children, hot weather is climate but cold weather is just weather.

There are millions of weather data points across the planet every day...local, regional, global temperature, precipitation, winds, daily highs, lows, nighttime highs, lows etc...Across the globe we have only been tracking areas for a few decades....30, 40 years. Given that there are 365 days a year, we are going to see daily extremes in some statstical area every single day of the month;.somewhere.
What does our daily weather information tell us about the climate? ANYTHING YOU WANT IT TO!

This is MArk Zuckerburg's commencement speech to Harvard Grads...it is half an hour long but well worth it. HE lets the cat out of the bag regarding climate change; we need to destroy the concept of the nation state and replace it with global governance that can combat dreaded climate change....scary stuff and he has as much influence as our world leaders.

Heatwaves have been happening since the end of the ice age. More BS about this being something new. It’s only because of technology spreading info instantly that it appears to be more frequent.

Hurricanes have been problematic in the Caribbean since the day the first ship sailed into the West Indies. Our nation's independence can be directly linked to the French "Hurrivacing" the Navy north out of their Caribbean holdings to the Chesapeake.
We are supposed to believe that major hurricanes started the day we opened the first coal burning factory.

You mean that record high temperatures have never been set before?

Riiight. When it is unusually cold somewhere, we are told that weather and climate are not the same, but when it gets hot somewhere, it is ALWAYS global warming and climate change. Loving the hypocrisy.

“There are millions of weather data points across the planet every day...local, regional, global temperature, precipitation, winds, daily highs, lows, nighttime highs, lows etc...”
And they claim to be able to measure fraction of a degree changes in average temperature over decades.

There was a time long ago when I would automatically believe U.S. News and World Report. Now I automatically know they are lying. It is hard to spread propaganda when nobody believes you anymore.

Been beautiful in Kuwait this summer. Hasn’t yet reached 130 and only gone over 120 a few times. Very pleasant here.

We are supposed to believe that major hurricanes started the day we opened the first coal burning factory. The deadliest Atlantic hurricane in recorded history was Hurricane San Calixto, a category 5 storm, which killed more than 20,000 people in 1780.

And you thought Chicken Little was just a childrens fairy tale. We are all the idiots who believed him.
Climate changes and we dont need to band together as a planet and change our ways or grant authority to the noisy Chicken Littles to save us.

Here in central Kentucky we’re getting an unusually mild summer. It seems to be a cyclical thing.

A lot of vague assertions with no evidence. False conclusions and specious causality.
This is a case study in fallacious argument.
