    IPCC Climate Models Grossly Exaggerate 'Global Warming'

    Spencer’s research shows that increased urbanization, not increased CO2, is responsible for exaggerating the temperature measurements recorded in the NOAA homogenized surface temperature dataset. In other words, Spencer’s point is that observed increases in temperature result from the greater heat urbanization generates, not from increased CO2 concentrations generated in the atmosphere by burning hydrocarbon fuels. Spencer was able to achieve this result by eliminating the negative Urban Heat Island bias from the NOAA temperature database to get more truthful readings of the CO2 heat forcing effect.

    Remember, the core “global warming” argument is that CO2 alone is the earth thermometer that controls whether earth temperatures are hotter or colder on average. As Spencer has said, “Given that U.S. energy policy depends upon the predictions from these models, their tendency to produce too much warming (and likely also warming-associated climate change) should be factored into energy policy planning.” Spencer has also charged that “climate change exaggerations (are) routinely promoted by environmental groups, anti-oil advocates, the media, the politicians, and most government agencies.”

    Spencer is not alone in pointing to corrupt data. In August 2022, meteorologist Anthony Watts found that 96 percent of the temperature stations in the United States used to measure global warming and climate change did not “meet what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) considers to be ‘acceptable,’ uncorrupted placement.”
    Bumping this again:

    Really, think about this: A 4.6 billion-year-old planet with an 8000-mile diameter, with a molten core (heat, etc.), with an atmosphere that is only 50 miles/240,000ft thick (being rather generous), that orbits a star only 93 million miles away with 330,000 times the earth's mass and that emits enough radiation to burn your naked ass in 30 minutes, is having its weather unalterably changed over the course of the next 5/10/15 years (whatever it is now) by the presence of a weak greenhouse gas, CO2, that happens to now be at its lowest level in damn near the entire history of the planet -- a history punctuated by global glaciations while that weak greenhouse gas was far higher than it is now -- and that also happens to be the basis of plant life (and therefore atmospheric oxygen), a gas whose greenhouse effect is dwarfed by that of water vapor (on a planet with a surface area that consists of 70% water), and that geologically is currently in an interglacial period. The models that generated this political bullshit have predicted nothing correctly -- not sea level change, polar ice cover, or weather.

    And everybody believes it anyway, to the extent that they are handing the management of the world's economy to elderly megalomaniacs with an agenda based on their own personal power. You're not even allowed to question it -- otherwise sensible people have agreed with the ridiculous premise that CO2 is a deadly poison that must be eliminated from the surface of the earth. Every August, everybody runs around like it's not supposed to be hot. Every time there's a drought, everybody acts like it's the very first time it's been dry too long. "Hurricane season" started in June, and how many hurricanes have devastated the coastlines already inundated by the molten ice caps? How many times over the past 20 years of this shit have the hurricane predictions been correct?

    Really, the children are in charge now, seeking validation for "caring about the planet," running around yelling about "carbon" -- the 4th most abundant element in the physical universe --being a deadly poison. Their managers are common criminals whose entire agenda is money and control, and we are letting it happen. It is the result of the shitty science education we received in the government schools, and it probably cannot be stopped.

    Another mark against urbanization that probably won't be paid attention to. Hell, the climate crowd actually believe urbanization is the ANSWER to "climate change". If I head off Long Island using the right road that gives me a big view of NYV proper in the distance, I can actually SEE a dirty smog cloud over the city on a clear day. This is how we should all be forced to live for some reason.

    Tell us why Kristi Noem is a dumb bitch and how and why "grass roots" is degenerate and how Idaho is the front line. Not being snarky, serious questions. Maybe I missed a couple of news cycles.

    More on California: California’s Mega Water Wasters › American Greatness

    It’s illegal to serve drinking water in a California restaurant unless the customer asks for it. Billboards sponsored by the state urge residents to put a bucket in their shower to capture water for their gardens. These symbolic pittances, along with escalating restrictions on water use by farmers and households that are anything but trivial, are the products of a deeply flawed mentality governing water policy in California.

    At the same time as government bureaucrats commit to ongoing water rationing, ferocious winter storms lash the state with hundreds of millions of acre-feet of precipitation. If this storm runoff were captured and stored, there would never be water scarcity again. But instead, it merely causes flooding and havoc, then runs into the vast Pacific Ocean. This is the story of California’s mega water wasters, one of the most delusional, self-righteous, destructive cults in the history of civilization.

    In California, when it rains, it pours. So far in 2023, up and down the state, rain and snow are pouring down, one storm after another. Rainfall totals in the San Francisco Bay Area are an astonishing 600 percent of normal for this time of year. In almost every watershed throughout the state, total rainfall is well above normal, and in the Sierras, the all-important snowpack is now sitting at exactly 200 percent of normal.

    With all this rain and snow, it might seem like California’s multiyear, devastating drought has come to a welcome and very wet end. But according to the experts, we can’t believe our lying eyes. When Politico reporters asked California’s state climatologist, Michael Anderson, if the drought was over, “in short, no,” was his answer. Anderson had just “had a conversation about that” with a UC San Diego water expert who had the temerity to suggest that California’s drought was over.
    These people are fascinating.

    To appreciate just how elitist and hypocritical this animist bias has become in California, consider the members of the California Coastal Commission. In May, commissioners voted unanimously to deny approval of a major new desalination plant in Southern California. One of the commissioners on this 12-member board has lived on a $35 million estate in Los Angeles’s tony Pacific Palisades. Sitting on over an acre of lush landscaping, this 11,000-square-foot home is part of a neighborhood sprinkled with the mansions of film executives and movie stars. Imagine how much water these households consume.

    How can someone that fortunate, whose “water footprint” can’t possibly come anywhere close to the 42 gallons per person per day limit the state legislature has mandated to take effect by 2030, justify voting against a desalination plant that would have made life easier for hundreds of thousands of Californians? Here’s your answer:

    According to the Coastal Commission’s voluminous report denying the desalination project: “The Regional Water Quality Control Board determined that Poseidon’s ongoing impacts to marine life would be equal to a loss of productivity from 423 acres of nearshore and estuarine waters.”

    That’s the extent of it. A “loss of productivity” in an area of ocean less than one square mile in size. If you can’t do something that minimal in exchange for 56,000 acre-feet of guaranteed fresh water per year, you can’t do anything.
    70% of one square mile of the Pacific Ocean. The problem is obvious.

    BREAKING: Kristi Noem Vetoes Bill That Protects Women’s Sports, Insists It’s ‘Not A Veto’

    The Idaho thing is more a pattern I've been observing than any single story. Lots of Californians and others have been moving there, getting into local government to push the rot (probably funded by Soros style NGOs).

    A couple recent stories:

    Idaho School Board Meeting Shut Down After Sen. Chris Trakel Speaks Out Against Proposed Transgender Curriculum and Policies

    Inside The IDHW’s Mandatory Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Training For Foster And Adoptive Parents

    You can find stuff like this all over the country, but I've noticed Idaho keeps popping up more often than not over the last year or two. The liberal hivemind seems to put a bat signal up over certain places at different times, and they migrate like locust to tear the place apart. Denver, Austin, etc. It's kind of crazy that anyone can move anywhere and have just as much political power as locals who have been there for generations.

    There is no such thing as a perfect politician. But Noem has been a pretty decent governor when that is not the norm.

    Any preference on where to move between Plano, San Antonio, Arlington and Austin?

    DeSantis and Noem would probably be considered left of center swing state politicians had the will of the people not been completely subverted over the last sixty years. I think she'd be about what you'd expect to see as governor of California or Illinois.

    I'm sure the smart billionaires already had two or more pilots on board. You say "renegade", but I wouldn't want a bunch of cowards who fold like lawn chairs flying me around if I had that kind of money.
    Cowards or highly paid professionals that when faced with a "pick your poison" scenario analyzed the risks and determined that keeping a prestigious and well paid job was worth the gamble? Pilots that were aware of and accepted the known risks but took the vax anyway are probably not cowards. They exercised their right to make their own decision knowing that the outcome was uncertain.

    She would be an upgrade for us in Arizona!
