Academics competing with the Babylon Bee.
“By fueling the growth of plants that become kindling, carbon dioxide is driving an increase in the severity and frequency of wildfires, according to a UC Riverside study.”

Another story about the press, academia and government working together to engineer a complete fake climate story.
The combination of fake scientists and fake journalists joining forces to create fake climate stories, is a fascinating phenomena. I feel privileged to get to watch this theater of the absurd play out.
“Trees are feasting on decades of carbon dioxide emissions and growing bigger as a result, according to a new study of U.S. forests.
Scientists tracked wood volume in 10 different tree groups from 1997 to 2017, finding that all except aspen-birch grew larger. Over that same period, carbon dioxide levels went from 363 parts per million to 405 parts per million, owing largely to the burning of fossil fuels. More abundant CO2 accelerates photosynthesis, causing plants to grow faster, a phenomenon known as “carbon fertilization.” The findings were published in the journal Nature Communications.”

“A 1C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world gross domestic product, researchers have found”
Their own fake data contradicts their latest fake theory.

Wind power is not reliable, and thus requires 100% backup at all times. Consumers are paying for two types of electricity instead of just one.
Reuters claims “Wind overtakes fossil fuels for UK electricity generation.” Reality is that wind is unreliable and forces the UK to maintain both wind and natural gas generation. In other words, the wind turbines serve no purpose.
