Once again, they\u2019re barging into my house by politicizing it. It\u2019s like inviting someone in, only to have them dump garbage all over your living room. That house is weather and climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s hard to listen to this stuff when I know the people saying it are nothing more than what the late William Gray called \u201cclimate pimps\u201d\u2014exploiting weather and climate to push their own agenda and preying on those who don\u2019t have the chance to see the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wrote this a while ago, because I want my side of this climate debate to know: these people are not going away.&nbsp; &nbsp;You can read about it here<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfact.org\/2026\/06\/02\/climate-exaggerators-wont-go-away\/\">Climate exaggerators won\u2019t go away <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But let\u2019s go abroad to the tremendous heat in Europe, which, because I knew the variables were coming together with this- all of them natural- I tried to warn them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that they failed to prepare their own population for this represents incompetence on such a scale that I\u2019ve concluded it was intentional. It\u2019s a deliberate strategy to advance a warped political agenda that wrongly blames things which were never the actual source of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was the warning issued to them June 6<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"449\" data-attachment-id=\"454641\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=454641\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-92.png?fit=640%2C449&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,449\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-92.png?fit=640%2C449&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-92.png?resize=640%2C449&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-454641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-92.png?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-92.png?resize=300%2C210&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reasons are entirely natural, which I am not going into now, but what didn\u2019t&nbsp;they get about comparing the summer to 2003, which should be etched in their minds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let me tell you what their strategy is: it\u2019s what we are seeing in the states with these leftist climate pushers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, I did not politicize the heat \u2014 the people closing power plants did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the United States in 2026. We should not be seeing power blackouts during just three days of excessive heat (which, by the way, will break early next week). In fact, by Monday afternoon, temperatures in New York City could be as far below normal as they are currently above normal in the core of the heat wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you deliberately sacrifice reliable power plants at the altar of renewable energy \u2014 sources that are often unreliable during major heat waves due to light winds or darkness and are simply not ready to carry the load \u2014 then trash the very plants that used to keep air conditioners running reliably; whose fault is that? It\u2019s the fault of the people who pushed these policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look at Florida. They have more people and higher demand, yet their grid doesn\u2019t collapse every day because they haven\u2019t shut down their power plants. If New York still had the generating capacity it had just ten years ago, it could handle this heat wave without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steve Goreham has been warning about exactly this for years, and what\u2019s happening is downright scary. Instead of adapting, we\u2019re creating problems that punish people and spread shared misery. The worst part is this should not be happening. The cause is not weather \u2014 it\u2019s a political, non-weather event: the closure of power plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has left the most vulnerable among us exposed. They create the problem, blame the resulting heat on climate change, and then double down with more demands and controls. Get used to it, because most Americans have no idea what shape our grid is actually in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The states that will do well are those that use common sense, maintain reliable power, and focus on adaptation rather than ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same kind of agenda insanity is what you see in France.&nbsp; And guess what, it could get even worse for them this winter.&nbsp; Last winter, despite turning out warmer than average, natural gas came close to running out. There are some El nino winters in Europe that are quite cold.
