    Guest essay by Eric Worrall


    According to a new United Nations report, “It is baffling that we willingly and knowingly continue to sow the seeds of our own destruction, despite the science and evidence that we are turning our only home into an uninhabitable hell for millions of people.”. But like many UN efforts this latest report appears to ignore evidence which contradicts their climate narrative.

    The US is doing better with carbon reduction than the nations in the Paris Accords.

    Screw them.

    Now the U.N. is getting laughed at over their lies, since the data in their report doesn't support their lie, they show a DECLINE in global climate disasters.

    It will be interesting to watch the up-is-down reporting on the new UN report on disasters




    The graph below is from data in the report (Figure 5, p. 10)




    It shows that "climate-related" disasters have declined by ~15% over the past 20 years (2000-2019)

    I see that certain warmist/alarmists are very quiet these days, but they have been dwindling in numbers in recent years as the increasing cascade of real science and numerous research papers are drowning out the occasional warmist/alarmist baloney.

    The never ending "DOOM!" mantra gets old and people begin to shut it out of their lives. Now more people are realizing they have been deceived and lied to over it, some people are fighting back.


    I posted this recently, gets completely ignored, probably because it utterly destroys the CO2, temperature change connection.

    C3 Headlines



    This first chart shows the temperature change plots of the IPCC's gold-standard global temperature dataset, along with the monthly cumulative growth of atmospheric CO2 levels (ppm) since June 1, 1988 through June 2020. Multiple periodicities of temperature change include 1-year (twelve month); 5-year (60 months); 10-year (120 months); 15-year (180 months); and, 20-year (240 months).


    For example, the chart's 15-year temperature change ending June 2020 is almost identical to the 15-year temperature change ending June 1988. Respectively, those changes were +0.13°C and +0.11°C.


    That tiny difference certainly confirms that over the past 30 years there has not been an extreme impact on longer-term temperature change despite some 850 billion tonnes of CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere since 1988.


    And the chart absolutely reflects an up/down pattern of temperature change for all periodicities, but clearly it does not demonstrate any significant relationship to the very substantial, monotonous linear growth of CO2 levels.

    This alone destroys the AGW conjecture since there is no connection between CO2 and temperature changes shown.

    Why is it that people come out and talk about the climate right before an election? Could it be to get more donations?

    No. They do it because their leftist bases are stupid people, who will fall for the AGW scam.

    Just so people know the seriousness of this issue, here’s a complete list of everything which is caused by global warming.

    I haven't noticed any more discussion about climate leading up to the election but it is an important issue for the majority of Americans and a big part of Biden's agenda.

    Is it reasonable to believe that nearly every climate scientist in the world is part of some conspiracy to defraud the public and that every relevant scientific organization

    is also part of the same conspiracy? The idea that humans could warm the planet through the burning of fossil fuels has been around since the 19th century. It was often

    met with skepticism by the scientific community but the idea gradually became accepted as the evidence grew stronger.

    The article doesn't explicitly blame humans for all of these climate related disasters. There are a few comments that imply that humans are to blame for most of these disasters

    and I agree that those comments are unwarranted. The 2013 IPCC report is much more careful in placing blame on humans for extreme weather events and it follows the science.
