Continuation of Present Warming NOT an “EXISTENTIAL THREAT”

Proxy Temperatures & Historical Records show continuation of the present warming is NOT an “EXISTENTIAL THREAT” to humans

 Robert W. Endlich

US President Joe Biden has declared

“Climate change is literally an existential threat to our nation and to the world.”

By this he means

“human-caused, CO2-fueled global warming,”

and he presumes that humans can pass “climate legislation” to regulate the climate.  While this view is popular in Media, Government, and the Academy (academia,) I show that it is without foundation.

Here’s the United Nations with a similar story on this same subject:

“… (the) UN Secretary-General insisted that unless governments everywhere reassess their energy policies, the world will be uninhabitable.” Continue reading “Continuation of Present Warming NOT an “EXISTENTIAL THREAT””

About Recent Words from Richard Lindzen

Robert W. Endlich

We have posted on this forum two recent essays by Richard Lindzen, the first, The Imaginary Climate Crisis – How can we Change the Message? from Clintel, and the second, An Assessment of the Conventional Global Warming Narrative, originally from London’s Global Warming Policy Foundation. I presented my analysis of the high points of Lindzen’s essays, along with some comments to bring these topics home, especially to those

Emeritus MIT Professor Richard S. Lindzen

of us in southern New Mexico, and also, from the world of operational meteorology.

Here is a small, but hopefully representative, sample of some of Lindzen’s most important thoughts, and some comments.

Lindzen properly says:

“…the whole narrative is pretty absurd.”

and in his writing, he goes on to provide the data and his reasoning for why Continue reading “About Recent Words from Richard Lindzen”

A New Look at NOAA’s Alleged Cat 5 Strength for 2018’s Hurricane Michael

‘More evidence that Hurricane Michael was definitely NOT a Category FIVE storm at landfall.’

In late September 2022 Category Four Hurricane Ian struck southwest Florida bringing death and destruction to southwest Florida. Ian’s arrival and wind damage spurred me to take another look at when 2018’s Hurricane Michael struck the Panhandle of Florida, and NOAA’s 2019 declaration that Michael was a Category Five storm at landfall.

This is my new look at Hurricane Michael’s winds and NOAA’s 2019 report. Continue reading “A New Look at NOAA’s Alleged Cat 5 Strength for 2018’s Hurricane Michael”

Comments on GeoEngineering Watch’s Video, “The Dimming”

Over the past several years I’ve been asked to comment on the notion that there is on-going an active, presumably by the US Government, classified program to use emissions from airborne aircraft to cut down on sunlight arriving at the Earth’s surface for nefarious purposes.  The group promulgating this topic is GeoEngineering Watch.  They call the supposedly nefarious emissions “Chemtrails.”

Several years ago, in my research on the plausibility of the existence of “Chemtrails,” I gathered photographic images and provided preliminary Continue reading “Comments on GeoEngineering Watch’s Video, “The Dimming””

Have Climate Activists Lost The Power of Critical Thought?

Especially if you live in New Mexico, you might think Climate Activists have lost the power of critical thought, and you’d be right; here are some reasons why.

The rise of Climate Activism came about in the late 20th century; there is a good discussion of the history of this topic by the Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI).

From the very beginnings, the assertions by two of the IPCC’s first leaders, the late Bert Bolin of Sweden and John Houghton of the UK are, if studied carefully, the result of political activism dressed up as science.  The second sentence of the SPPI paper says a lot, “The UNEP’s belief in man-made warming Continue reading “Have Climate Activists Lost The Power of Critical Thought?”
