My family visited Lake Powell sixty years ago when they first started filling it. We picked up this pamphlet which described the permanent water shortage in the Colorado River Basin.

“There is not nearly enough water in the Colorado River to irrigate all the land”

Colorado uses 365 million gallons of water per day to grow corn for biofuels mandated by policies to stop global warming.  Then the shortage of water they created is blamed by the same people on global warming.

The press is full of stories about earth burning and drying up. Meanwhile the real world is having another record grain harvest.

In 1938, CBS News demonstrated that they could send America into a panic via scripted fake news. The press is trying to do that again now about climate, in order to help Democrats in the 2024 elections.

Ten years ago Al Gore became rich by selling his global warming television station to oil producers. Now he wants to shut down energy for the peasants while he flies around the world on private jets.

Gore thinks Antarctica is melting in mid-winter, and that we are experiencing unprecedented heat.

The percent of the US to reach 95F (35C) continues at a record low through July 25.

At the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2007 Al Gore predicted the Arctic would be ice-free by 2014 and said the world was spinning out of kilter.  There is more ice now than when he made that prediction.

They measured the water temperature in a shallow pond near a river outlet, which regularly gets that hot or hotter.

“It’s not even the record for Manatee Bay, the observing site where the data came from, said David Zierden, state climatologist at the Florida Climate Center in Tallahassee. The record for the Manatee Bay site is 102 degrees. It was set on Aug. 15, 2017. Going further back, Zierden said the site recorded a temperature of 100 degrees in 2010.

Something to point out: the Manatee Bay gauge is very close to land, south of Biscayne Bay, and measures the water temperature at a depth of 5 feet.

Keep in mind that the observations in Manatee bay are in shallow water in a closed off cove with dark seagrass on the bottom,” Zierden said. “I would not consider them a “sea surface temperature”, as that implies open ocean.”

In 1958, Arctic sea ice was about two meters thick. Sixty-five years later it is still about two meters thick.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1958

Although the idea that a solid ice sheet covers the central Arctic has lingered stubbornly in the popular fancy, the northern cap of ice worn by our planet is actually a thin crust— on the whole, only about seven feet thick—over an ocean two miles deep in places.

Known as the pack, this ice is constantly shifting, splitting, changing. The sea upon which it rides is bounded by the northern coasts of Europe, Asia and North America—vast stretches of tundra (where no trees are able to grow) and taiga (where the trees are stunted).

The only major land-borne ice sheet in the north covers Greenland. Such is the weight of the Greenland ice that the island has sunk into the plastic underlayers of the earth until its center is now below sea level, under 10,000 feet of ice. There are scattered, smaller ice caps in the Arctic, but most of Siberia, Alaska and northern Canada, is ice-free.”

Over the past twelve months the southwestern US has averaged more than seventeen inches of rain, making it the 18th wettest year since 1895. The press says the southwest is experiencing the worst drought in 1,200 years.

In very technical terms, “Climate Defiance” says Antarctica is having a 7.5 million year sea ice event.

8:04 PM · Jul 24, 2023

Nine years ago, Antarctic sea ice was about an equal amount above the mean – so this would be their second seven million year event in less than a decade.
