More Cold Truth About Global Warming
Donald Trump’s inauguration was moved inside due to the bitter cold weather in Washington. Of course the same people who swear the Arctic blast was caused by global warming are part of the axis of fanatics that claims that humans’ fossil fuel habits caused 2024 to be the hottest year or record. There’s so much wrong with the klimate klowns’ klaims.
The temperature in the capital at today’s swearing-in at noon is predicted to be 22 degrees, cold but far from the coldest ever, which was 5 degrees when Ronald Regan took office in 1985 – four years after the warmest day in inauguration history reached 55 degrees – and the same temperature as John F. Kennedy’s 1961 ceremony, which was preceded by 8 inches of snow the evening before.
As expected, the “experts” who are reverently quoted by Democratic politicians and their comrades in the media are blaming “human-caused climate change” for today’s conditions.
Apparently those other frigid Inauguration Days and the related cold snaps were natural occurrences – as were Inauguration Days of 16, 25 and 26 degrees when the ceremony was held in March, and maybe even the coldest day ever recorded in the continental U.S., when the temperature hit 70 below in Montana on Jan. 20, 1954 – but this time, by golly, it’s man’s fault.
We don’t need to get into the science that debunks the man-made global warming assertions because any cool-headed observation of the facts we just listed makes it wholly unnecessary.
Moving on, let’s not forget that just recently, even this month, the climate fanatics were telling us that the end is near because 2024 was the hottest year ever, “breaching a critical climate goal and capping 10 years of unprecedented heat,” screeched CNN, and bringing the world, whines the New York Times, to a “dangerous warming threshold.”
Gosh, it was even confirmed by NASA, so it must he true.
Of course there are a number of points to debate here that show the assertion that man is roasting his only planet is an often-employed, but entirely exhausted narrative that has no basis in reality.
First:
“These claims completely ignore the evidence based research, such as the surface stations project conducted by the Heartland Institute, showing that the Urban Heat Island effect and the poor placement of temperature stations used to measure temperatures, from which long-term temperature data is gathered, may account for as much as 50% of recent warming, with the remainder likely being partly or wholly natural, such as being driven by El Niño events.”
Second:
“It’s also worth noting that the phrase “hottest year on record” typically refers to records spanning about 150 years—a mere blink in geological time. Paleoclimatological evidence shows that Earth has experienced periods with significantly hotter temperatures long before industrial revolution. For instance, during the Eemian interglacial period around 120,000 years ago, global temperatures were comparable to or even exceeded current levels.”
Furthermore:
“Some research suggests that a 2020 rule mandating that the world’s fleet of nearly 100,000 ocean-going freighters cut the amount of sulfur in their fuels by 80% is partially to blame for higher temperatures in the last few years. Sulfur particles served as nuclei for the creation of bright low-level clouds that reflect heat back into space. The absence of sulfur particles formerly emitted along ship tracks correlated with a reduction in the formation of cooling clouds. This reduction in air pollution suggests that the recent jump might be a one-time spike rather than an acceleration of a rising temperature trend.”
And in conclusion:
“Hottest lying over the ‘hottest year’: 1. The average temperature of global surface stations is 58°F. That is not hot, hotter or hottest. 2. The warming spike of the last year or so was driven by a naturally-caused super El Niño and possibly accentuated by other natural factors — not emissions. 3. The emissions-based climate models all failed to predict the warming spike. 4. The El Niño put a lot of warming water vapor into atmosphere, hence the warming. 5. Now that the El Niño is over, the warming is slowly dissipating. 6. There will be more warming the next time there is a significant El Niño.”
We’re not finished making our case because the climate alarmists haven’t given up their crusade. We’ll continue to expose their game, cite the facts and emphasize the logic as long as is necessary.
