Climate exaggerators won\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider exaggerating natural weather to the point of fanaticism.  It is about control. Most Americans will simply say, \u201d Live the life the way you want. Most leftists say you have to live your life the way I want, because I am right, and for the good of the whole, you must obey. The other part is the people who eventually get overrun, who are just trying to live their lives and don\u2019t care about the whole issue, whatever it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Realizing this, the left weaponized climate as a tool for control. If you have enough religious zealots, backed up by money, knowing darn well they will be the ruling class, then if you can limit a person\u2019s freedom by making energy more costly and less accessible, then you can overwhelm the system. It\u2019s a Cloward-Piven philosophy of overwhelming the system. Knowing that the average American is complacent and comfortable, you must then sow seeds of discord and desperation, which will pull more people into your way of thinking. And while we all were patting ourselves on the back that once POTUS Trump took over, we would win, nothing is further from the truth. In the world of zealots, if you survive, you simply live to fight another day, when the left takes back over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are seeing it now in the climate, with some of the one-sided bias pushed headline-grabbing things coming out.  In the Senate, Sheldon Whitehouse is shameless and is still all-in on portraying natural weather as the \u201cworst ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Never mind the same climate change has 100 million MORE people in Europe with unseasonable cold.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Or, as so often happens, the pattern flips next week:<\/p>\n\n\n

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

And the portrayal of the bowels of Hades color schemes:<\/p>\n\n\n

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

How about this:<\/p>\n\n\n

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

What about the record for the date of cold in the Arctic right now?<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Will that be smashed on the cold side? Which is more important? A week of hot weather in Europe or the fact that at the time of the year when ice can melt temperatures are not going above the average in the summer which is near 0C. The warming is all in the winter, courtesy of water vapor, which impacts temperatures more when it\u2019s very cold and dry, not CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Or the heat hysteria in India, where May is the hottest month of the year before the monsoon sets in. It\u2019s about a wash as far as warm vs cold goes.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

So, how is that portrayed by people pushing this?<\/p>\n\n\n

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

The monsoon is a bit late in Southeast Asia, so it\u2019s hotter, but next week it flips again:<\/p>\n\n\n

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

I won\u2019t even get into the Super Nino hype, which can be countered here in something I wrote a few weeks ago, which explains why the very thing they lament and mislabel as man-made, the overall oceanic warming, can blunt the impact of this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
