August and September are great months to be a professional climate alarmist like Dr. Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania.

You have hurricanes making landfall, wildfires seemingly everywhere, the odd F-4 tornado wreaking devastation, and you can pretend that these never happened before we started adding CO2 to the atmosphere. Plus, you have virtually all the media and a host of "environmental" groups parroting every seemingly scientific observation without question.

Yes, alarmists find it best to use their time during the hazy, hot days of summer linking every possible weather event to our use of fossil fuels and that demon molecule, CO2. They must do this in order to instill the fear required to impose economically crippling new taxes or restrict citizens' freedom to choose what car, dishwasher, stove, shower head or washing machine to purchase.

Right now, with wildfires in Canada and Greece and the tragic fire in Lahaina, Maui, the focus is on linking supposed man-made warming to these events and characterizing them as unprecedented. Are they really extraordinary and increasing?

NASA reports that between 2003 and 2019, the global area burned has dropped by roughly 25 percent. In addition, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service reports that, according to their satellite data, the year 2020 was one of the least active years since records begin in 2003.

Heat waves in Texas and Italy are also trumpeted as global and escalating due to increasing carbon emissions. Conveniently omitted are exceedingly cold temperatures in northern Europe and the northwest of the United States. The USHCN temperature data reveal that the number of days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8°Celsius) peaked in the 1930s and have been in an 80-year decline.

The United Nations is leading the charge with this climate consensus, and its core message has been pretty clear. The environment is under human threat, and we have to "act now!"

But is that really true? Some top-level scientists have come out to refute these claims. One of them is Dr. John Clauser, a renowned physicist and Nobel Prize winner. He vehemently opposes the notion of a man-made climate crisis. In fact, he believes it's all a deliberate hoax.

The Nobel Laureate is strongly joined by the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman. The now-late veteran weatherman who has spent most of his life analyzing weather changes has something interesting to say. "Climate change is not happening; there is no significant man-made global warming now, there hasn't been any in the past, and there is no reason to expect any in the future," he declared.

The flames of dissenting statements such as these have always been doused by online fact-checkers. But these online information moderators have been unable to hide the smoke. The chorus of heretical views has gotten even louder in the past few years.

Just recently, another leading dissident voice joined the party. American climatologist Judith Curry is making her doubts known loud and clear. In over a hundred scientific papers, the Georgia Institute of Technology professor emerita has described the consensus as "manufactured." According to her, "the time for debate has ended."

She also had scathing criticisms of her colleagues in the science world. She has accused other scientists of deceptively fuelling the man-made climate emergency for "fame and fortune."

Professor Curry has also bravely opened a can of worms concerning the science world. She has exposed what she described as a "climate change industry" where scientists have become puppets of politicians and moneybags.

LOL! Like Vivek said last night, climate change is a HOAX!

I think he means climate alarmism/emergency is a hoax.

Thats how I took it. At any rate, mankind cant do jack shit about the weather unless we launch all our nukes at once.
