Climate hero Bill Gray passed away 5 years ago this week. He was a good friend, and unlike most of his peers – never gave in to Al Gore’s funding blackmail.

On his deathbed he asked me to carry on his climate legacy. I hope that I am meeting his expectations.
Ten years ago today, Charles Manson weighed in about climate.
“our polar caps are melting because we’re doing bad things to the atmosphere.”
“The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

We are experiencing a barrage of anti-CO2 propaganda designed to make people believe they will burn up or drown if they don’t give up the energy supply they depend on for their day to day survival, and submit to permanent lockdowns.
India’s Monsoon Becoming Wetter, More Chaotic Because of Climate Change
The reality is that high CO2 levels existed for most of Earth’s history, and produced verdant forests which Scientific American reported on more than 100 years ago.
“Fertilizing the air with carbon dioxide to promote plant growth
ONE of the principal constituents making up the body of a plant is carbon, representing about one-half of its organic substance. The opinion that this carbon is derived from the soil has long been abandoned, modern investigation having shown atmospheric carbonic acid to be absorbed by means 0f the chlorophyll 0r green matter of the leaves and decomposed into its elements, the carbon, in conjunction with the root sap and atmospheric m0isture, being worked into organic compounds.
Whereas atmospheric air at present is relatively poor in carb0nic acid, of which it contains only about .03 per cent, at an early period in the development of our planet, when this was covered with the luxuriant forests our coal deposits are derived from, it comprised incomparably greater quantities of this gas. This fact suggested the idea of heightening the fertility of the soil by increasing its carbonic acid content and thus producing conditions resembling those of antediluvian ages.”
The greatest expansion of life on Earth occurred 540 million years ago, when CO2 was at its peak. Atmospheric CO2 levels were more than 15 times higher than they are now. Corals and shellfish evolved during that time. If high levels of CO2 were a real problem, there would have been no sea life, rather than a massive expansion of life in the oceans..

The worst fires in US history occurred 150 years ago. On October 7, 1871 much of Minnesota and Wisconsin were burning.
07 Oct 1871, 1 – Chicago Tribune at Newspapers.com
The following day was the worst fires in US history, with Chicago burning to the ground, and many other towns around the Great Lakes in flames.
11 Oct 1871, 1 – Chicago Tribune at Newspapers.com
There were massive fires in Wisconsin, Michigan and the Rocky Mountains.

The worst of these fires occurred at Peshtigo, Wisconsin, where more than one thousand people burned to death.

“Scientists who study the West’s long-term climate patterns say that California has had multiple droughts of 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — and two severe “megadroughts” of 180 years and 240 years.”

Prior to this guy dropping dead in the street in Wuhan while wearing a mask, the Boston Marathon used to be held on the third Monday in April.
But climate experts say global warming is making it too hot to run.
Will Climate Change Slow the Boston Marathon? | Arts & Sciences
Boston Marathon Times have gotten steadily faster, but climate scientists rarely let reality get in the way of some scary propaganda. The Union of Concerned Scientists has weighed in as well.

Global warming is burning us up in Cheyenne today as well.
Global warming isn’t hurting our civilization – insane government is. The Santa Fe Symphony is reduced to five people with masks, and no audience. Hopefully the masks will work better for them than for the guy in Wuhan.
This is how “Scientific American” reports on glacial melting now.
Alarming Sonar Results Show Glaciers May Be Melting Faster Than We Expected – Scientific American
There is no indication that sea level rise has accelerated.
680-140 Sydney, Fort Denison 1 & 2, Australia
This is how they reported on glacial melting in 1904.
Observations of the Alpine glaciers during a series of years have supplied proof that these great ice streams have long been in process of recession.
The information given on the map indicates that in the past fifty-three years the face of the glacier has retreated about eight miles. Not only is it shorter than it formerly was, but its mass has otherwise been reduced to a very considerable extent. The surface of the glacier now lies from 20 to 30 feet below its former level and the precipitous walls of rock that hem it in bear the record of this change of level. It is found also that the other glaciers in that neighbor; hood are in process of retreat, and the evidence collected by Dr. Engell shows that this process has been going on for a long series of years. This evidence would seem to show that for the past half century the summer heat has been greater than it was for at least a considerable period before that time

Weather Underground says global warming is making India’s monsoons more chaotic.
India’s Monsoon Becoming Wetter, More Chaotic Because of Climate Change
India’s Monsoon Becoming Wetter, More Chaotic Because of Climate Change
Realty is that warmer temperatures make India’s monsoons more stable and reduce droughts and famines.
In India, for example, before the global warming trend of1890-1940. severe drought struck about once every four years. With the warming, however, and more abundant monsoon rains, drought came only once every 18 years or so, greatly increasing India’s grain production. Some *climatologists think that if the current cooling trend continues, drought will occur more frequently in India

Five years ago I called out the New York Times for claiming that 10.1 million acres burned in the US was a record.
New York Times Climate Fraud – Called Out By The New York Times | Real Climate Science
I used this New York Times article to show that burn acreage in 2015 was only half of 1937.
Sometime since, they silently rewrote the text (without errata) and now ignore all the years before 1960.
They are creating a fraudulent and rewritten version of history to push climate fraud.

The number of days over 100F at DFW reported by the National Weather Service has been increasing and peaked in 2011.
But at Weatherford, which is a reasonably well sited rural station west of Fort Worth, 100 degree days peaked in 1980 and have been declining long term.
