From The Daily Sceptic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0Richard Eldred<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Washington Post <\/em>set out to map 485 million years of global temperatures, it uncovered an inconvenient truth in the climate change story: Earth\u2019s been on a 50-million-year cool-down. ZeroHedge<\/em> has more<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In recent years, particularly around mid-July (the peak of the Northern Hemisphere summer), there has been a noticeable surge in headlines featuring the \u201chottest day\u201d ever on record in corporate media outlets \u2013 which is of course pushed by climate alarmist journalists citing questionable studies. This timing coincides with hot weather, so naturally, it\u2019s quite convincing to persuade readers that the world\u2019s oceans are boiling and planet Earth will ignite into a fireball unless drastic actions are taken \u2013 such as more climate taxes, \u2018carbon credits\u2019, banning cow farts, prohibiting new petrol-powered vehicle sales by X date and pushing spending bills to procure more solar panels from China, to save the planet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that corporate media only focuses on recent history \u2013 and not \u201cin context\u201d (as they love to say). Context is particularly important when it comes to climate change \u2013 as their narrative collapses when looking at a long enough timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To wit\u2026 a funny thing happened when the Washington Post<\/a><\/em> tried to map out half a billion years of global temperatures and the \u201cdisaster of global warming\u201d \u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A funny thing happened as the WaPo tried to map out half a billion years of global temperatures and the “disaster of global warming” pic.twitter.com\/HA6yxpf9V7<\/a>\u2014 zerohedge (@zerohedge) September 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

WaPo<\/em> journalists cited a new study about Earth\u2019s global surface temperatures over the last 485 million years. In 2023, Earth\u2019s average temperature reached 14.98\u00b0C, well below the average 36\u00b0C the study showed around 100 million years ago. The trend shows Earth\u2019s temperatures have been sliding for 50 million years. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe, just maybe, the level of human-caused global warming doom porn pushed by the Government, corporate media outlets, global NGOs and far-Left billionaires is not as apocalyptic as they make it sound.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
