Global warming is not all in my head,

nor is it a hoax to control me.

I don't care if you think I'm a hypocrite, I may well be. I don’t care if you think that every idea, technology and policy that anyone could ever think of is doomed to failure, will make things worse and/or will plunge us into recession, they may well do. No one knows what’s going to happen (though I think this negativity comes from legacy industry).

However, by sticking their heads in the sand, refusing to look at what is already happening and applying the scientific method to what we’re told about cause and effect, the medical freedom movement, the freedom of speech movement as well as climate scientists have all made themselves look ridiculous.

The graph shows the July land and sea temperatures from around the globe with respect to the 1901-2000 average. The temperates are taken from where it’s easy to measure them; 2 m above the surface of the earth and in the sea, not from satellite estimates of the atmosphere that only go back as far as 1979. They are a global composite. It doesn’t matter that it was cold and wet in the UK in July. The global July temperature was 1.12 degrees above average

About 0.075C of this warming may be due to Hunga Tonga-Hunga. El Niño, even if it’s actually got going, makes it hotter by moving air around, but it cannot cause the year on year increase in temperature.

The exaggeration in the media; which they have always done for clicks and market share, doesn’t alter the evidence. However, recent droughts/floods in China and the extreme heat in the Middle East and South America don’t seem to be reported much at all. I feel like MSM have a last got something really terrifying to report and they’re too terrified to actually report it. The Met office talks of climate change and then reverts to safe, silly giggles about British weather.

The earth has a temperature and many other symptoms of imbalance. It is not worth protesting and annoying people or prescribing any treatment nor medication when many people don’t even accept that there’s a problem at all; that the earth even has a head cold, let alone that humanity is making the environment more and more unsuitable for humans to live on.

Recordings of temperature, biodiversity, Co2, methane and pollution are not lies. The basic laws of chemistry and thermodynamics are not a hoax. The idea that climate change is made up to control us was itself made up by cartels, who have $trillions to gain, to legitimise eating animal products and using fossil fuels and to discredit the overwhelming evidence that their profits are damaging to life on this planet. I have watched how medical freedom has been targeted with ridicule about climate science and compassion. Only a fool, it seems, would be worried about wildfires.

The misleading fact that the world’s burned area has recently decreased, but due to increases in intensive farming in developing countries, is being reposted by medical freedom, along with many other misleading facts; eg polar bear populations have recovered since the 1970s, but due to the introduction of hunting bans etc, etc, etc. This posting pandemic is indicative of not examining the evidence.

I've been banned from Sam Bailey's odyssey and substack channels for pointing out how misleading and disingenuous she was about animal agriculture. The Bailey’s don't seem to think that it matters how inefficient the bodies of farmed animal are at converting energy and land into calories. Sam says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Irrefutable and yet so D’AH! This unhelpful truth could be applied to just about any inefficient and loss making process. Indeed animal products are only marketable in many countries because of the substantial tax-payer subsidies covering up to 40% of their production costs. Sam also thinks that land is fairly unlimited. However, forests have often been cut down for farmed animals to grow soy and corn to feed them or has been taken from First Nations, who have ended up with lower life expectancies than non-indigenous people. Grazing and feed crops have significantly contributed to the most rapid loss of biodiversity and the fastest mass species extinction ever in earth’s history. All in a world where millions are starving. While this may be because of wars, wars are fought over resources. They can also be due to mass migrations of people caused by famines.

I've also been ignored or my comments deleted from youtube climate channels that have mentioned the likelihood of pandemics. The only person who responded said that he wasn’t qualified to have an opinion as he wasn’t a virologist nor a epidemiologist. SAY WHAT?! It’s not necessary Rosh, you just have to use the method you were taught at school and have a bit of curiosity and common sense. I’ve also been blocked by Prof Michael Mann, of hockey stick fame, from his twitter account for politely asking how much of the literature he has read to qualify him to declare what is covid misinformation and what isn't. If he looked, for just a second or two, at the evidence he would see that the presence of a few genetic sequences in a patient doesn’t prove that they belong to an entity nor that the putative entity caused the symptoms. Even if the sequences were found in 100% of people with the same symptoms (they didn’t look) and none were found in healthy people (found in up to 60% of them) even then it would not show the that sequences were part of an entity nor that the putative entity caused the symptoms. Anyway, how did they know that the symptoms were a new disease in the first place? The Prof would be shocked to see how the scientific method has been abandoned in favour of press conferences.

I know we all have our biases but I hoped that those lucky enough to have a scientific background, as well as those without, could unite over the literature. Seems not to be the case on either 'side’. We can block out what we don’t want to hear and it seems to be enough for either side to say the other is lying. However, blocking, ignoring and abandoning the scientific method diminishes the credibility of everyone.

PS A climate myth has been resurrected again. The US has allegedly been ‘falsifying temperatures’. However, when we look into it, scientists have been adjusting temperatures to account for the historical ones being taken in the afternoon, rather than the morning when it is cooler. This seems reasonable. Other adjustments include changes in the temperature monitoring system instrument setups, and the movement of temperature stations from one location to another.

Even US conservative Anthony Watts of Wattsup says of Tony Heller aka Goddard who was making these accusations (who is not being censored, nor is any climate denial being censored); ‘Goddard is wrong is his assertions of fabrication'. And even if you still mistrust the ‘adjusted’ data, the US represents only 2% of surface temperatures and the global unadjusted and adjusted temperatures show little difference.

Even if you mistrust their being less surface data points since the 1990s; the oceans account for 90% of global warming, they heats up and cools down more slowly, and there are no allegations of adjustment. Here is global ocean temperatures for July 2023.

P.P..S Before someone else says "If you go back to Time Magazine, they actually were proclaiming the next ice age is coming, now it's become global warming… How do you believe the same people that were predicting just a couple decades ago that the new ice age is coming?

‘There were also some notably cold winters scattered through that time, such as the UK one of 1962-63. As a result of these various goings-on, some scientists suggested that the current interglacial period could rapidly draw to a close, which might result in the Earth plunging into a new ice age over the next few centuries.

We now know that the smog that climatologists call ‘aerosols’ – emitted by human activities into the atmosphere – caused localised cooling closest to the areas where most of it originated. Smogs constitute a deadly health hazard and governments acted quickly to clean up that type of pollution: highly visible (unlike CO₂), it was hard to ignore. Once largely removed, its effects no longer influenced Northern Hemisphere temperatures, that have steadily climbed since around 1970.

In fact, as temperature recording has improved in coverage, it’s become clear that the cooling trend was indeed localised – it was most pronounced in northern land areas. Other places around the world revealed a different story. Furthermore, at the same time as some scientists were suggesting we might be facing another ice age, a significantly greater number - approximately six times more - published papers indicating the opposite - that we were warming.’

Sometimes people get things wrong. Einstein made errors and ‘blunders’ by his own admission. I used to think vaccines were safe and effective. Get over it.
