Yesterday I posted about how lying is such a powerful weapon for governments.  The lies our government told and continue to spew about COVID have been for some deadly.  Sadly, governments did not just discover how useful lying is in 2020.  Lying is a time-tested technique that governments have never been shy about using.  Many of their lies have been just as destructive as the COVID lies.

COVID actually followed a very well-worn playbook.  Take a normal occurrence (cold and flu season), present data out of context to instill fear and panic, then raid the public treasure while the population is distracted by the imaginary emergency.  This is the same script that has been used successfully for 3 decades by government to create and perpetuate the climate “emergency”.  To be clear the climate is changing, because that is what climate does.  There has never been a point in history where climate has not changed.

Around 1,000AD, a little delicate moss (just like the one above), lived in a spot in Antarctica which is now locked in snow and ice all year round, and considered hyper arid and perennially frozen. No one expected to find nodding thread-moss (Pohlia Nutans) on Boulder Clay Glacier.

Researchers had to drill through 11 meters of ice to find it (or what’s left of it) and managed to date it to 1,050 years before present. This puts it smack in the centre of the Medieval Warm Period, when Vikings were marauding England, showing that this part of Antarctica was warmer 1000 years ago than it is today, even though humans have poured forth 1.8 trillion tons of greenhouse gases.

At the same time as the mosses grew, there was a veritable population boom of penguins and elephant seals in the Ross Sea next door, right up until the brutal cold of the Little Ice Age wiped them out.

There is absolutely nothing happening with our climate that should be considered out of the range of normal.  But as we saw during COVID normal can be easily weaponized by presenting information out of context or even manufacturing evidence when needs be.

The years just keep getting warmer. I mean this facetiously. At first, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told us 2016 was 0.94 degree warmer than the 20th-century average. Then the agency raised its estimate by several steps to 1 degree in 2020 before dropping it back to 0.99 perhaps under Trump influence. With Democrats back in charge under President Biden, 2016 started getting warmer again, reaching 1.03 degrees in 2023. The latest NOAA chart shows it 1.04 degrees warmer than the baseline.

Climate “scientists” have manufactured an emergency where none exists.  They have ramped up the fear by adjusting historical temperature records to fit the narrative.  This is the same kind of fraud that we saw during covid where the data was manipulated by classifying cancer deaths as COVID deaths.  The only real difference between the fake COVID emergency and the fake climate emergency is that the fake climate emergency has not produced as many deaths but that does not mean it has been without cost.

In the last twenty years 770 coal turbines have been switched off in the US, and Donald Trump wants to turn as many back on as he can.

Coal is the cheapest way to produce electricity.  The fake climate emergency has been used as an excuse shut down coal and funnel money to companies to build wind turbines.  The net result has been escalating power costs.  The government has been slowly draining your bank account by forcing you to pay for wind turbines that were never needed in the first place.

Thankfully for our American friends at least, things are finally changing.  Donald Trump hired the climate realism dream team to revisit the EPA CO2 endangerment finding.

And the best part? The entire document will be authored by a five-member team, including: Dr. John Christy (climatologist), Dr. Judith Curry (climatologist), Dr. Steven Koonin (theoretical physicist), Dr. Ross McKitrick (economist) and Dr. Roy Spencer (meteorologist and climate scientist).

All of the people on this team have been labelled climate deniers or climate skeptics which are both highly deceptive labels.  None of these scientists deny climate changes.  Some even believe CO2 will warm the climate.  What they dispute is the sloppy and sometimes fraudulent science that underpins the whole climate movement.

That fraudulent science was used to justify classifying CO2 as a pollutant.  Which it is not.  CO2 is plant food.  Life on earth is not possible without it.  Trillions of dollars have been spent trying to eliminate CO2 when the original fraudulent endangerment finding could not even define why CO2 is a problem.  They stole trillions from taxpayers over an unspecified change.

The Obama-era Endangerment Finding, which the new proposal would reverse, classified gases such as methane and carbon dioxide as detrimental to the environment, and it argued that the unspecified amount of climate change caused by these gases would in turn negatively affect people’s health and welfare

CO2 is not a problem.  Climate change could be a problem.  Certainly, anything that causes the planet to cool (not warm) would be very bad for humans.  But climate change is normal and will happen whether or not you drive a car.  The only sensible solution is to be aware of the possible problems and adapt to them.

One of the least controversial and most effective ways to address climate change is to adapt to it. 

Despite the fact the environment ministry claims that investing in adaptation can save up to $15 for every $1 spent,

Even the UN IPCC reports acknowledge that adapting to climate change is more cost effective that trying to prevent climate change.  This is hardly surprising because humans have been adapting to climate change since the dawn of our existence.

The climate emergency is a 3-decade old lie.  It might finally be ending in the US.  It should end everywhere.  If we want to survive, we need to get much better at spotting government lies.  It should not have taken 3 decades to figure out plant food was good for the planet.  Or, that politicians lie.
