From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Driessen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy July Fourth and America 250!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have much to celebrate, beginning with our Constitutional rights, equality, and liberties, and the prosperity they have bestowed. Indeed, living in this incredible, diverse, energized country, during this time in history, with our modern transportation, communication, healthcare, and AIR CONDITIONING technologies, is a true blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also be thankful if we aren\u2019t in Europe this summer, with its 40\u02daC (104\u02daF) heat wave \u2013 and virtually no air conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe certainly could have AC. Willis Carrier<\/a> invented it in 1902. Air conditioning was common in American homes by the 1960s, and today, 90% of all US households<\/a> and businesses use it to stay cool, reduce humidity, protect equipment and products, work productively \u2026 and literally save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Europe has chosen not to. Actually, its ruling elites<\/strong><\/em> have chosen not to allow<\/strong><\/em> families and businesses to install AC systems or afford the electricity to operate them. They want to be global leaders in stopping \u201cmanmade\u201d warming and climate change<\/a> \u2013 and ensuring the \u201cinevitable\u201d transition from fossil fuel and nuclear power to unpredictable, unreliable, unaffordable wind, solar, and unreliable<\/em> backup electricity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat waves typically mean little to no wind, and thus no wind power. Clouds and sunsets mean little to no solar power<\/a>, while high daytime heat means panels become less efficient<\/a> or even catch fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour ancestors got along fine without AC,\u201d the elites tell their subjects. So can you. You\u2019re hot? Open a window and let that balmy 104\u02da air flow into your home and workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe had some 1,300 excess deaths<\/a> so far this summer due to the heat, and 2,300 last summer<\/a>. But it\u2019s not our fault you\u2019re sweltering and dying, its politicians say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world,\u201d the United States bears \u201ca significant responsibility for global warming and the consequences we in France are experiencing,\u201d Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar insists<\/a>. And much of that is due to American obsession with air conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least France cares about saving the planet, its pols say. We\u2019re even sacrificing people, kind of like Mayans dropping virgins into cenotes, petitioning their climate gods to end a decades-long drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least the USA is only the second<\/em> worst culprit \u2013 after China, which emits 29% of total global<\/em><\/a> carbon dioxide, and where 60% of households<\/a> have air conditioning, compared to 10% in Europe. In Japan, 91% of homes have air conditioning, 86% in Korea, and 16% in Mexico. Their<\/em> alleged contributions to the Euro heatwave are apparently irrelevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 80% of French citizens<\/a> (including 78% of Green Party militants!) want<\/em> air conditioning in residences, schools, hospitals, and public trains and buses. But their political betters<\/a> view this as sacrilege, as do those in Britain<\/a> and Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France\u2019s Ecological Transition Ministry avers that AC may be necessary for those who are elderly, chronically ill, or pregnant. Other people<\/a>, however, should eat cold soups, wear hats, wet their faces, turn off computers, and put cardboard over sunny windows. Those other people don\u2019t include ruling classes, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Europe\u2019s 2-tier climate justice system, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen directed her building manager to turn the AC off on floors 1-7 \u2026 but keep offices comfortably cool<\/a> on floors 8-13, where she and her commissioners work diligently to stave off climate change, keep GMO foods out of EU grocery stores, and otherwise control people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real cause of Europe\u2019s 2026 Summer in Hades is an enormous mid-troposphere high-pressure ridge<\/a> (an \u201comega block\u201d in the jet stream) that\u2019s transporting hot Sahara Desert air northward into western Europe. The phenomenon happens during many summers to varying \u201cdegrees\u201d and has nothing to do with climate change, natural or manmade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, many of Europe\u2019s all-time national heat records<\/a> were set long before modern CO2 concentrations reached 0.0432% (432 ppm): Ireland (1887), Bulgaria (1916), Poland (1921), Sweden (1947), Romania (1951), Norway (1970), Greece (1977).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(In the United States, thirteen of 50 state high temperature records were set in the 1930s<\/a> and have never been broken. Every state has hit at least 100\u00b0F, including Alaska: 100\u02daF in 1915.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up nine miles from Wisconsin\u2019s Hearthstone House<\/a>, the first home in the world lit by electricity (in 1882). My father was born and died in my boyhood home, which was built in 1880 and had electricity not long after Kaukauna (the \u201cElectric City\u201d)<\/a> built the state\u2019s first municipal hydroelectric plant<\/a> in 1885.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air conditioning through my high school years and beyond consisted of an old furnace blower that Dad set up inside our front screen door, to supposedly cool us off by pulling air through the first floor. But my brothers and I sweated bullets all summer long in our sunbaked southwest corner brick-faced bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My parents finally installed central air conditioning in 1981. \u201cThis is wonderful,\u201d he remarked. \u201cI should have done this years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I certainly agree. Thirty years earlier would have been nice. But it was my parents\u2019 home, their decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s completely different from Europe\u2019s politicians and bureaucrats decreeing that poor and working classes will not have air conditioning, will not be able to afford AC if units are already installed, and may find government apparatchiks ripping units out<\/a> if they try to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe is undergoing moral and cultural decline \u2013 and an accompanying rise in rapes, murders, and other crimes \u2013 due to \u201cprogressive\u201d policies that eliminate borders, allow unfettered, unvetted immigration, and put criminals right back on the streets \u2026 or never arrest, prosecute, or jail them in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also suffering economic and healthcare decay, as climate-centric policies eliminate oil and natural gas production, send prices through the roof for \u201crenewable\u201d electricity that will often not be there when families, schools, hospitals, and factories need it \u2013 and send industries and jobs to foreign shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some decry this as Europe\u2019s suicide. A more accurate term might be civilizational manslaughter, by ruling classes \u2013 and those who gave them too much power \u2026 and too little common sense and too much disdain for less well-off people they pledged to serve and protect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is growing concern that the United States could be heading down a similar primrose path, led by young voters, teachers, and professors who fill them with anti-America, anti-free-market claptrap, and socialist-communist-Islamist mayors, governors, politicians, and candidates who increasingly control the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump has helped control these pressures. But he too often gets insufficient congressional support for energy, election, and immigration policies, and will soon be another former president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coming mid-term elections could prove pivotal, and the 2028 election monumental. America\u2019s patriots need to work like their Revolutionary forebears, not just hope for the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us all strive and pray for continued responsible energy policies and a renewed and more perfect union for our great nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
