Much of the U.S. was frosted and frozen by bitter winter weather last week. But this is just further proof of manmade global warming, the media claim. Because even as America freezes, “most of the rest of the world is feeling unusually warm weather,” which is merely a “contradiction” that “fits snugly in explanations of what climate change is doing to Earth,” says the Associated Press.
Of course what doesn’t fit “snugly” is ignored. And there’s plenty of that.
For instance, we’ve been assured for decades by all the right people that Arctic ice will disappear

Climate change is a synonym for political population control. The earth's climate is subject to solar conditions, the position of the earth in our solar system, the position of our solar system in the Milky Way. Humans cannot control any of those factors.

Here's the primary problem with Climate "scientists", they go into everything they do with a predetermined agenda, to "prove" that use of fossil fuels is destroying the planet. In all their "work" they MUST get to that conclusion either because they are "true believers", which is a bad place to start in any scientific investigation, or their academic status and funding is dependent on that outcome. The means by which they get to their targeted conclusion is usually by sloppy work and lazy thinking.
The reality of climate science, as hinted in the article, is that accurate analyses are so COMPLEX and require such a MASSIVE scale that conclusive results are beyond our scientific capabilities. Even using our best computers, it takes a LONG time to run computer scenarios. Even then, the scenarios are simplified to allow the computations to be completed in a reasonable time (months?). The tradeoff is, simplification yields decreased accuracy. That is why so many climate studies have "LOW CONFIDENCE" in their terrifying projections. The results can be scary but it is unlikely they are accurate. Yet, the scientists report them, whistling past the graveyard of Low Confidence, and the media runs with the story without looking too carefully at the credibility.
The problem that Global Worriers face is that, as scientific capability gets better over time, the results are heading in a less scary direction. The "warming" predications get less and less. 5 degrees of warming might be of concern but 2 degrees or less, not so much? Further, there is natural variation in climate. As the predictions of increase become less, the "man caused" changes start to get subsumed in natural variations and questions arise as to how much change, if any, can be attributed to man's actions.
Science has been corrupted in attempts to propagandize. The issue has been dragged into murky and dishonest political waters. We are being forced into actions that make no sense and are actually ineffective, all in service of an ungrounded agenda. When the fraud collapses, the damage to science may be significant and lasting, which in itself is a worse crisis than climate.

If climate change is for real, then the Hollywood elites such as aaTaylor Swift and John Travolta, and Soros, et all would be forced to fly commercial. Poor John Kerry would be grounded. Until that happens, Private Jets should be against the law. Don't get me started. The same ones who claim climate change is real are the same ones who fly from CA to Paris for dinner and a show. It's all a big lie.

The article on unpacking the lies used the term "Fossil Fuels."

Climate Change is a virtual 'choke collar' the Elites have applied to the American People. They use it to control population, prosperity and happiness. They may relax it a little, but then tighten as needed.

Totally delusional to think that humans could do this to the Earth, and acting like the sun has no say in the matter.

Most of today's Climate Change 'facts' are actually projections of climate models created by 'experts'. By slight of hand and shortness of public memory these projections then become factual data on which further projections are made. Besides, unless the scientists/researchers do this, their careers are finished. That is a good incentive!

Unfortunately, the Climate Change cult has the longevity of a toenail fungus. They know where the choke points are - disease and weather. Domination is their goal.

Not seeing anycoverage of Mark Styne defamation trial re: his comments about Michael Mann's 'hockey stick' depiction of Global Warming. He must be winning!

"The Weather Channel."..bless their hearts! To listen to them every variation in temperature, every weather front is a verification of "Global Warming."

The northern hemisphere continents have been slowly rising - - due to the removal of the weight of the massive glaciers after the last ice Age - - and they've been rising slightly faster than the sea level - - hence very slightly more land and very slightly less sea.
The seafront mansions of Gore, 0bama, and Despicable Joe are safe!

Yes poster #11, the former "Weather Channel" is now know as "The Propaganda Channel", all for global baloney.
Nice post # 2, especially "Science has been corrupted in attempts to propagandize." I was a forecaster for 25 years and watched this play out, and it was one of the reasons I got out!

When the Climate Scientists began studying climate they predicted Global Warming, that went on for many years.
But when nothing happened, something had to be done. So someone came up with Climate Change and ahhh, the new name covered anything that happened . If it hot hotter, Climate Change was at fault. If it got colder, Climate Change explained everything. Finally a name that covered everything and all the "Scientists" were safe in keeping their jobs.
On to Davos for another "conference" to save the planet and party 'till dawn on our dime.

I'm about 60 miles due North of New Orleans, LA and as I sit here typing, in front of a nice fire in the fireplace, I keep thinking that it's gotten a lot colder since this global warming/ climate change stuff started. I've burned a lot more firewood this year than in years past!

The scheme behind "climate change" is to use it as a tool to fundamentally transform the world economy.
The problem, there are major countries like China and India, who have very intelligent people, who don't seem quite as concerned as those of Western countries.
Leads one to wonder why. The quick conclusion, they know something we aren't being told.
The other part to the scheme that seems to be lost is the Paris Accords gave a target goal to meet by the year 2100 which is STILL 76 years away.
Plenty of time to find solutions if that's what is truly needed, but the desire to expedite things without a real plan or the infrastructure to support, is concerning and does not provide any confidence people are being told the truth.
