Many politicians believe that CO2 controls the climate. There is very little empirical evidence to support that idea, and even less to support the idea that politicians control CO2.

Another Congressional clown is Bob Ingliss, who chose to be a climate alarmist after his kids told him they wouldn’t talk to him until he did.
One thousand years ago King Knut took his subjects to the sea to show them that government did not control sea level. Unfortunate that politicians are not that bright now.

“yes, climate change made it worse”
NBC News says that the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest was one of the most intense ever and climate change made it worse.
Pacific Northwest is in one of the most intense heat waves ever
The heat was actually confined to a small area. New Mexico is experiencing record cold.
During past heatwaves, there have been 100 degree temperatures from coast to coast – like this date in 1934.
The percent of the US which reaches 100F sometime during the year has dropped in half over the past 90 years.
The average maximum temperature has dropped sharply over the past 90 years, as has the number of hot days.
Globally the temperature anomaly relative to 1979-2000 was 0.2C, but NBC News determined that a small area of the Pacific Northwest is indicative of the global climate.

Biden Weighs In On Forest Fires
“Climate change” is responsible for wildfires that “move with more speed…and last well beyond traditional months of the fire season.”
According to Vice-President Biden, we are having a record fire season.
Burn acreage to date is 1,472,510 acres. Ninety years ago burn acreage was 51,607,000 acres – so we are currently at less than 3% of the burn acreage of 1931.
National Interagency Fire Center
Burn acreage to date is less than one third of ten years ago.
National Fire News | National Interagency Fire Center
Biden says fire season is longer now than it was before climate change, and fires burn faster and hotter now than they used to. During February 1898, three million acres burned in South Carolina in less than 48 hours.

On October 7 a forest fire raged out of control across Lake of the Woods County, Minnesota, leveling everything in its path.

BLACK THURSDAY.
PROBABLY one of the most terrible days of which there is any record in Australian annals was Thursday, the 6th of February, 1851, commonly known as Black Thursday. But a small proportion of our present colonists have any recollection of that day, as our total population then only amounted to about 70,000 souls, against the 350,000 of to-day. But such of their number as have access to files of the newspaper published at the time, would do well to turn them over, and, as a warning for the future, glance at the narrative of the disasters of that dreadful day.
We find it recorded that as early as seven or eight o’clock in the morning, the thermometer stood at 117° in the shade. At mid-day it sank to 109°, but in the afternoon it rose again, and at four o’clock was 113°. Monday last was about the hottest day of the present season ; yet the thermometer did not stand above 95° in the shade. Our readers who felt inconvenienced by the increase of heat between that and the usual 70° or 75° will have some difficulty in imagining the sensations produced by a still further rise of 20°. The intense heat of Black Thursday was not it’s only peculiarity. From early morning it was accompanied by a hot wind, almost of the strength of a hurricane, and throughout the day the surface of the country was exposed to the full power of it’s withering influence. Bush-fires raged across hundreds of miles of country, sweeping along with almost the rapidity of lightning, and destroying, nearly instantaneously, men, women, and children, crops and homesteads, fences and gardens, and vast quantities of cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, and fowls. From the whole land arose a cry of utter desolation.

Canada’s largest fire occurred in 1825, and burned 2.5 million acres in about nine hours.

History is not the friend of climate alarmists, so during February, the Biden Administration deleted all of the inconvenient data prior to 1983, which was the lowest burn acreage year on record.

“We Can’t Say For Certain”
The BBC says we are having a climate emergency caused by the burning of fossil fuels and indicated by a heatwave in the Pacific Northwest.
They also say that people are being kept alive by air conditioning – which is being powered by fossil fuels.

The claim from the BBC is based on misinformation, appeals to authority and speculation based on superstition. It is not journalism, it isn’t science and it is very dangerous.
