7/21/24 was the hottest day ever recorded in history

The end of the article says:

"The warming will continue as long as we’re dumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
and we have the technology to largely stop doing that today. What we lack is political will.
"

Let's cut out the civil talk and say it like it is ...
The "Big Boys" (oligarchs) control the world's governments
and will sacrifice as many people as is necessary
to increase their profits and satisfy their insatiable greed.

RELATED 7/23/24 (same day)

September 2024 can't match September 2023

The same is true for October 2024: second only to 2023.
This year WILL be the warmest year on record ... ever.
At this point, I don't think it is necessary to continue updating.

The Oligarchs refuse to cooperate. Their greed spells doom for humanity.
My regret is that my attempts to help fight them ... simply failed.
Our only hope is that greater warriors will come ... from somewhere.

Who has the final say on the Global Warming Controversy?

There seems to be a controversy. On one side are the scientists.
On the other side are the power companies, religious nut jobs,
and the masses of ignorant voters whom they manipulate.

In actuality there is no scientific controversy.
The matter was settled many years ago
when nearly 100% of the experts in the field (climatologists)
agreed that the Earth was heating up
and that most of it was due to manmade contamination of the atmosphere.

But insurance companies are in a unique position.
They are the world's largest industry.
They are the ones who have to "put their money where their mouths are."
They cannot afford to screw around. They need to know which side is right.

Insurance companies know which side is full of crap.
They are contributing large sums of money
to combat the large sums of money being poured in by the oil companies and others,
who have a vested interest in protecting their profits,
and will do so, even at the cost of destroying the planet.

Insurance companies wade into the Global Warming battle

ANALOGY

The climate change debate in America could be described as
a car speeding down a sidewalk, knocking over pedestrians.

If we put the brakes on as hard as we can, right now,
the car will still travel hundreds of feet and kill many more pedestrians
before it finally comes to a stop.

But Americans are not allowed to put on the brakes.
Powerful interests are keeping the gas pedal floored,
and preventing everyone else in the car from stepping on the brake.

Not just America, but the entire world ... is in deep shit.

But then again, that's pretty much where humanity has spent most of its history.

So what the hell is he doing with the snowball?
Why has he gone back to climate denial?
Was he lying then ... or is he lying now?

What this does show is that these goofballs
have so little respect for their base
that they know they can lie their asses off
and freely contradict themselves
without fear of losing their jobs.

(something Fox News has already taught us)

Remember that most of their constituents don't believe in evolution,
but do believe that the sun stopped in the sky for a whole day
because an invisible man told it to.

Now nearly 100% of Republican senators are against you.
They abandoned ship and left all you freaks to drown in a sea of humiliation.

Hey, I know ... how about Bill O'Reilly?

But even he knows better than to make a complete ass of himself:

Bill O'Reilly - not a global warming denier

And when even Republican senators
don't want anything more to do with you,
and are willing to admit they've been lying to the public,
rather than continue to be associated with you ...

Why?

Religion is collapsing worldwide. Climate deniers are also losing worldwide.
To survive they must gain a foothold among the next generation.
Christians are doing this with "Good News Clubs" as a way to proselytize school children.
Climate deniers are following the same playbook as Christians, as demonstrated in the story you just read.

In a recent global warming debate, my opponent (a Fox News fan)
was unaware of the results of the 5 independent investigations
that all exonerated the climate scientists of any wrongdoing.
Flabbergasted that someone who had done so much research
was totally unaware of the final results, I directed her to this link:

Conservapedia: Climategate

I then pointed out that despite almost 2 years of watching Fox News constantly,
she had no knowledge of the most important part of all:
the final results of the investigation.
I pointed out that neither Conservapedia nor Fox News
(which are both under the control of America's Oligarchs)
had the honesty to even tell their audience the results.
Then I pointed her to this link:

Wikipedia: Climategate

There, in great detail, were the results of all 5 independent investigations.
This was just another piece of solid evidence
that Conservatives are the most dishonest people on the face of the Earth.
If their mouths are open ... they're lying.

So which side is really trying to trick the public by lying to them?

It doesn't get any clearer than this

Finally, some liars are caught and exposed

Let's see a show of hands:
how many think Fox News will be "Fair and Balanced" and report this last story?

Whenever you want to find out who the bad guys really are ...
look for the money (works every time).
Climate-deniers try to claim that scientists are the ones who are motivated by money (grants, etc.).
Scientists get paid about the same as firefighters, cops, and teachers.
Most grant money is used to conduct the science itself.
Those who are motivated by real money
are the ones who are making "B"illions (as identified in the stories above).

So, how much effect have climate deniers had?

N.Y. Times Poll

And what do the polls show that climate scientists believe?

Worldwide consensus by climate scientists

Notice which organization was the last in the world to withdraw their denial?

The American Association of Petroleum Geologists in 2007

What a surprise, huh?
Who would have ever guessed that the oil companies would be the last ones?
But be careful. They were forced to acknowledge the facts
in the face of a worldwide scientific consensus.
They are only moving the goal posts.
They have retreated, in the face of undeniable reality,
to a position where they will make their next stand -
"Human activity is not contributing to Global Warming."
They must take this position to protect their billion-dollar profits.
Why would they sacrifice the planet for money?

Well, they are the proof that there exist people ... who will.

Recall the tobacco industry in the 1960's
as they did everything they could to hide the truth from the public
about their deadly business so that they could continue to amass fortunes
over the emaciated bodies of the addicted ... and they still do.
It is almost impossible for government to control evil, greedy humans
who have no concern for human life and suffering
as long as these corporations continue to financially control
the governments under which they operate.

Like I've said before - "Look for the cheese ... and you'll always find the rats."

In the global warming debate, which side is ALWAYS the side

that gets caught lying or intentionally misleading?

Yep, the global warming deniers.
George Will couldn't present the actual graph
which shows an obvious increase in fires because
1) it doesn't support the view he wants to convinice you of, and 2) that would be honest.
Instead he picks the highest year and then finds a lower year later,
to give you the false impression that the trend is going down.
They use the same dishonest trick when comparing annual temperatures.
So how can Conservatives be so easily fooled by this kind of dishonesty?

Because they want to be.

From the opening paragraph this story was nothing more than a cheerleading piece
designed to give hope to Conservatives
who are still recovering from their devastating defeat in the 2012 election.
George Will hits nearly every conservative issue.
He uses Gallup to try to rally the troops with hope
(yes, Gallup is the same Christian-run organization
that was the only one to predict a Romney landslide days before the election).
I would pity these people, if they didn't represent such a danger to America.

One of the best comments I have ever seen on the internet:

"I am a blind man standing on the curb, needing to cross the street.
There are 100 sighted people there wanting to assist me.
97 of them say that a car is speeding my way, and that it is not safe to cross.
3 of them say they still have questions as to
the speed of the car, the make of the car, is it really a car,
cars have gone down this street for decades ... maybe I should just cross;
after all, clearly the issue is not settled,
and I can't tell if those 97 people are really trustworthy anyway.
"

For those of you who might be a little lost,
it refers to the 97% of climate scientists who agree on the topic of Manmade Global Warming.
