BS Meter

Mayor Peter Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana has announced his candidacy for the US presidency ... see: AP Story. A center plank in his platform joins many of his fellow announced candidates — climate change is our biggest security challenge.

Apparently Americans are supposedly waking up to this existential threat ... as determined by recent pedagogical polling ... see: Yale Study.

So am I convinced yet? Do I think that extreme weather events are increasing and will soon consume us? No, kind reader, I have been around too long and have a historic perspective ... and can search the Internet for the actual facts on hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and other extreme weather events. You, kind reader can duplicate these efforts to test the many hysterical news stories we are being fed on a daily basis.

Witness tornadoes in the US ... which we have been told are increasing dramatically. As you can view above, this is another non-fact ... like so many of the fabricated facts supposedly validating global warming: dying polar bears, melting Greenland glaciers, more severe hurricanes than times past (see: NOAA Study), California droughts and flooding, etc.

Kind readers, every time you hear another validating claim about the 12 years that we only have left ... your BS meter should read red. Go to Google (better DuckDuckGo) and do your own research ... like mine above. (Avoid Snopes and FactCheck.) And then I doubt you will vote for Mayor Peter or the rest of the climate alarmists.

A Flat World

This AM on CNBC there was a discussion on the outlook for housing prices in which the term "better neighborhood" was used. This caught my attention because such a designation still persists in our nation that seems in a headlong race toward an egalitarian society. If Bernie Sanders has his way a "better neighborhood" would be outlawed in concept if not in fact. Why should one group of citizens be permitted such an advantage over another? Are we not all equal in God's eyes? So why should some have better homes or better roads or better parks or even better schools?

No! This is not permitted! We all must live in a constructed paradise like Havana, Cuba ... where no one has a cultural or environmental advantage over  his neighbor. No one will live in higher ground. We will level all the topologies until everyone lives at the same elevation ... a flat world. And the climate will be the same for everyone. If it rains somewhere, it must rain everywhere. All residents need to enjoy the same clime, the same temperature, the same intensity of sunshine, even the same number of hours of daylight. If some people live on the shoreline, then everyone who so wants must live by the ocean. If some residents want beautiful views, then everyone must have beautiful vistas. Earthquakes, typhoons, floods, volcanoes ... even meteor strikes are no longer permitted.

The government under The Bern will insure that the climate, the economy, the topology, the flora, the fauna, the medical care, the entertainment, the abodes, the diets, the bank accounts, the employment, the apparel, the education, everything that citizens experience must be flat or equal ... except for Bernie and his flat head friends, that is.

Climate Disruptions

As previously noted the latest buzzword from the climate charlatans is "climate disruptions." Jerry Brown is blaming the current drought in California on "climate deniers" such as myself ... see: Breitbart Story . (Actually, I don't understand how anyone can deny such a thing as "climate.") Anyhow, to see how many climate disruptions that we have had in the 20th century, I went to Google and found the following table of natural disasters ranked by loss of life ... see: Natural Disasters of the 20th Century.  Peruse this table as you wish, but I will briefly summarize it here:

Droughts           26                (virtually all in Africa)
Earthquakes     25                (last one in 1990 in Iran)
Epidemics         17                (not assumed to be climate related)
Floods                 12                (none after 1959)
Typhoons           12                (last one in 1991 in Bangladesh)
Famines               4                (worst one purposely caused by Stalin)
Volcanoes           2                (Martinique, 1902 and Columbia, 1985)
Landslide             1                (Russia, 1939)
Storm                    1                (China, 1930)

(Please note that there are no hurricanes or tornadoes listed in these top 100.)

Ah, you say ... but what about the 21st century.  So I went back to Google and found the following: Top 10 Natural Disasters of the 21st Century ... which again does not include any hurricanes or tornadoes ... but does include two heat waves ... one in Europe in 2003 and one in Russia in 2010 which would have ranked 57th and 61st in the list of 20th century "disruptions.".  Is this enough evidence to scare the wits out of our children, try to starve plants of their sustenance (CO2), and turn our economies up-side down?

 I am still a doubter.
