He’s been a huge pro-Trump, Qanon, anti-vaxxer, fascist MAGAt troll on twitter since 2015. Now he’s trending because Karma just bit his ass.

Move along, nothing to see here. Just blizzards in Florida + record snowfall in Mississippi and Louisiana + climate change.

Keep yourself safe from the heat, be sure to drink water and stay indoors from 10am to October 30th.

I will recant the lie accusation but the general intent to deceive is prevalent when it comes to the hyperbole surrounding climate change. Any real examination of the true science of CO2 quickly reveals the nonsense of its “danger” as a GHG.

First, it is rising temps that lead to rising CO2. Why? The oceans are by far the largest repository of it. It takes hundreds of years to get temperatures to significantly rise. As they do, dissolved CO2 is released. Ice cores in Antarctica and Greenland confirm this. Heat creates more CO2 not the other way around.

Second, CO2 atmospheric bandwidths become quickly saturated. It’s call the logarithmic decline in the efficacy of CO2 as a GHG. Google that. It is a rapid asymptotic reduction. 85% of GHG is water vapor. Of the remaining amount CO2 is the largest, but 87% of its efficacy has already been absorbed. A rise of the current 420 ppm to 800 (which would take hundreds of years likely) would result in about .7C rise in temp.

Third, 60% of the last 10,000 years were hotter than today. We are about 11,000 years into an interglacial period ie we are technically in an ice age but for 11,000 years we have avoided massive glaciers covering much of the northern latitudes. We are actually due to have another ice age soon.

The interglacials last about 10-12k years. Within the interglacial period there are roughly 1000 year cycles. Each cycle in the last 10k years has become weaker ie temperature extremes have reduced and periods of cooling within the 1000 year cycles have lasted longer. The ice age cometh relatively soon in terms of eras of time.

Fourth, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes and other weather related phenomena are not at peaks as reported by bias sources. 1700’s had much more frequent and massive hurricanes. Fires peaked in the US in the 1920s (by a lot!). Tornadoes less frequent with less intensity (in general). The 1930’s were much hotter then any other recent decade.

I could go on. There is a lot of real data that puts the current climate crisis in very serious doubt. And yet, we are all being swayed away from real science in favor of a bombardment of thinly veiled propaganda. The real question is why?

The Los Angeles mega fires are bringing out all the armchair fire experts that were hiding in plain sight all along to share their expertise in YouTube comments. Where were they all along? They are sharing their brilliant insights like "It was Govenor Newscum's fault for not raking the forest", "It was arson!". "The fire hydrants ran out of water because California is too concerned about stupid little fish", and of course "As soon as this so-called fire expert mentioned climate change, I knew he was an idiot!" (Please note the above is sarcasm) Anyway, sarcasm aside, as someone who has lived in SoCal for some time, I can tell you this really is fucking unusual and a freak occurrence nobody was prepared for. Usually fires of such a large scale are in heavily wooded, rural parts where people set up big vacation houses and ranches, but these ones blazed through developed, suburban areas. Imagine a really fucking fast fire spread by a massive hair dryer set to 100 mph and the tinder isn't the "brush", but houses and cars. Also, I have never heard of the Santa Ana winds getting THAT fast before, ever. California does have a water storage issue, but it has nothing to do with environmental policies, but rather the depletion of groundwater via agriculture and such agriculture not allowing the water table to be replenished.

James Woods is a multi-millionaire with plenty of insurance. He never helped any of the other victims of wildfires but now is upset. He hates everyone and everything since he became a Trump cultist. His money could have helped so many but instead he spent his time on Twitter comparing black people to apes and demanding Dr Fauci be executed. F—k him!

Yep, these 500 year storms seem to be happening every few years. And if Trump gets elected and his Project 2025 has its way, NOAA won't be around even to warn us of approaching disasters.

Why was Hurricane Helene so bad? Fossil fuel pollution.

Helene also rapidly intensified twice before it reached Florida, because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is off-the-charts warm — much like the rest of the Atlantic. More than 90% of warming around the globe over the past 50 years has taken place in the oceans, and it’s making storms more likely to undergo these rapid intensification cycles. Sea levels in Florida are as much as 8 inches higher than they were in 1950. The speed of that rise is increasing too. This translates to higher storm surge. Across the board, Helene was a hurricane supercharged by climate change. “For decades now, scientists have been warning us that extreme weather events will be exacerbated by this blanket of carbon pollution we’ve been wrapping around our planet,” said Katharine Hayhoe, chief scientist at the Nature Conservancy. “But as a human, it is shocking to see the devastation occurring in front of our eyes, affecting the people and places we know and love.”

Four ways climate change likely made Hurricane Helene worse

DONALD TRUMP"S RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE...

[odinsblog]

Whether you call it climate change or pollution, it’s still a series of policy decisions (deregulation). Deregulation that is disproportionately upheld by greedy corporations, red state Democrats, and is enforced overwhelmingly by Republican and Libertarian controlled legislatures.
