“some epidemics such as those of 1762 and 1889 have been characterized by a severe type of the disease land considerable loss of life. The mortality is generally reckoned at about 2 percent., but when an extensive epidemic prevails, even this proportion is sufficient to swell the death-rate largely. This disease is referred to in the works of the ancient physicians, but accurate descriptions of it have been given by numerous medical writers during the last three centuries, in connection with epidemics which have occurred from time to time. These various accounts agree substantially in their narration of the phenomena and course of the disease, and influenza has is all times been regarded as fulfilling all the conditions of an epidemic in its sudden invasion, rapid and extensive spread, and speedy and complete disappearance. Among the chief epidemics of influenza are those of 1762, 1782, 1787, 1803, 1833, 1837, 1847, and 1889. In several of these the disease appeared to originate in some parts of Asia, and to travel westward through Europe and on to America”

The warmest March in the US actually occurred in 1910, not 2012.

The summer of 1910 was also the longest on record in the US and brought the largest fire in US history to Idaho and Montana.

“There Is some evidence that the world is headed Into another deep Ice age, possibly like the one which produced the extensive glaciers of 18,000 yearn ago. “There’s disagreement over our position today,” Lamb said In an Interview following his lecture. “The cooling we see could be related to previous episodes,” meaning those who predict another great ice age are correct. On the other hand, Lamb said, man’s Influence — which has already changed the climates of our cities — could overcome the cooling”

On day one of the lockdowns two years ago I said they were the implementation of the Green New Deal. A number of well known climate skeptics got very angry at me and accused me of being a “conspiracy theorist.”

Wyoming is the only state with less than 50% injected. We never locked down and only had a mask mandate during a few weeks of temporary insanity by the governor. New Mexico is 70% injected and has had lockdowns and mask mandates for much of the last two years.

The Olympics are being held in a desert which normally doesn’t get any snow, and just as I predicted last week, the press is blaming the lack of snow on global warming.

I made this video on January 28.

“Global warming will lead to longer, hotter summers. But cranking up the air conditioning may not be a viable solution, a new study warns.

The investigators found climate change could drive Americans’ demand for A/C to exceed the nation’s electricity-producing capacity within a decade.”

Summers in the US are getting shorter and cooler.

The reason the grid is having problems is because of power plants being shut down due to misinformation from fake experts like the one quoted in the article.
