taking the mask off

friday, october 25th, 2024

Remember the last time the globalists took the mask off? It wasn’t that long ago, but some people might have already forgotten how the western world almost lost all individual freedom under the guise of an over-hyped health emergency. When globalists are honest about what they truly want, it usually coincides with an engineered calamity.

[FULL TITLE: "Globalists Are Taking The Mask Off And That’s A Bad Sign."]

In the two years since the failure of the covid pandemic narrative I have argued that globalist organizations are trying to regroup under a new plan. The evidence suggests that these people suffered a shocking revelation after their attempt to implement perpetual medical tyranny. They’ve realized they don’t have as much control over the flow of information and public discourse as they originally assumed.

The Left is coming for your Rights.

Even with full-spectrum censorship using algorithms to bury contrary data, even with the full force of the government partnering with social media to silence dissent, even with the threat of economic exile for anyone refusing to take a steady series of mRNA jabs, they still failed. The truth about covid’s minimal Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) still spread, along with data proving the uselessness of the mandates and lockdowns. There was nothing they could do about it.

Their golden ticket to total control was pushing the vaccine passport concept; the alternative media crushed that agenda like a pestilent cockroach. If the passport had been successful we would not be having this conversation now. Everyone would be in fear of having their passport rescinded. Everyone would be afraid to lose their economic access for saying the wrong thing. Everyone would be afraid of being forced into covid camps (which were indeed a real agenda). Or, we would be in the middle of a bloody civil war. They Lie To Us, We Know They’re Lying, They Know We Know They’re Lying But They Keep Lying Anyway, and We Keep Pretending To Believe.

The events of 2020 were meant to initiate the ultimate coup against humanity. The globalists admitted to their plans over and over again. Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum proudly declared covid the catalyst for the “Great Reset” and the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” They asserted that the lockdowns were just the beginning and that the sweeping restriction on our freedoms would be extended to climate change as well.

They thought they had won without firing a shot, but it’s not that easy. Far more people are awake and aware of their motives than they realized, and, at least in America, over 50 million of those people are armed. The lockdowns are now gone, almost no one took the vax boosters, far fewer people took the vaccine than the CDC claims, and the vax passports were defeated. This victory was made possible due to the efforts of alternative media platforms circumventing Big Tech censorship. It’s that simple.

This is why the next event will probably be far worse in scale and consequence, and the globalists are already attempting to rectify their previous mistake of underestimating citizen journalism. They will try to silence us if they can and they are openly admitting to it in recent conferences and mainstream articles. The mask is coming off once more and this suggests to me that something very bad is about to happen. The demonKKKrats aren't on America's side.

As I noted in 2023 in my article ‘From Covid To Climate Change: Vehicles For Global Authoritarianism’, the globalists seem to have shifted their more tyrannical efforts away from the pandemic and into the climate discourse. If you really want to know what they are up to these days, you have to watch the climate conferences.

At the end of September there was a host of climate change summits including one held by the WEF in New York called the Sustainable Development Impact Meeting. It was held by the WEF in tandem with the United Nations General Assembly. Not surprisingly, discussion often veered away from climate into “threats to democracy” as well as bitter complaints about the “spread of disinformation.”

John Kerry, former Democratic presidential candidate, former Climate Czar under Joe Biden and a longtime participant in the WEF, said the quiet part out loud at the summit. He argued that the 1st Amendment was a “roadblock” to proper governance and was preventing the elites from controlling public consensus.

His statements are quite blatant.

First of all, consensus is highly overrated and often poisonous. The very basis of science is that it is always up for debate according to the evidence. Once you have forced a “consensus” you have abandoned all due diligence under the scientific method.

This was made obvious during covid, where the “consensus” was exposed as utterly fabricated and most of the claims made by governments and puppet “medical experts” have been proven false. Keep in mind, these were the same people that tried to ban YOU from going to parks and waterboarding at the beach in the name of “flattening the curve.”

I mean, how retarded do you have to be to believe that outdoor activities will lead to viral transmission? That’s not science, that’s hysteria promoted by people claiming to represent science. The same thing goes for the mask mandates, social distancing, the lockdowns, etc. Not one measure they enforced was legitimate.

If we are talking about the concept of man-made climate change, the claim of consensus in science is a lie. The data suggests there is simply no such thing as man-made climate change. There is no evidence of causation between carbon emissions and global warming. No evidence that global warming causes extreme weather. No evidence that our current warming cycle is significant or unique compared to any other warming cycle in history.

In fact, the Washington Post recently and accidentally proved the alternative media’s point on climate change when they tried to map the temperature history of the Earth over 450 million years, only to discover what I have been saying for the longest time – Today’s temps are far lower than they have been through most of the Earth’s history.

But the more important issue here is John Kerry’s assertion that governance requires public information control. Kerry’s fundamental disconnect is his notion that it’s the job of the elites and the government to moderate information for the greater good. No one gave them permission to do this. The government does not exist to create consensus.

The people are in charge, John. As a politician you are just a public servant, nothing more. Your opinions on free speech don’t matter.

Some of the most egregious disinformation is often released to the public by the government and their approved media sources in the name of “saving democracy.” They lie constantly. John Kerry is just angry because now the public has the means to expose him and his cohorts. If a “democracy” requires censorship in order to survive, then it’s not worth saving.

Finally and hypocritically, Kerry suggests that democracy is “too slow” in implementing the changes to society that he views as necessary to create consensus and “unity.” If the 1st Amendment is a “roadblack” to more effective information control and governance, then he and his slimy brethren must intend to remove it. In other words, he believes tyranny would work better because it’s much faster that trying to manipulate the public with propaganda.

He doesn’t explicitly say this, but that’s exactly what he’s implying.

Besides some of the speeches made by Klaus Schwab at the height of the pandemic, Kerry’s statements might be the most open declaration of globalist authoritarian intent I have ever heard. He’s pulling the mask off and this has me concerned.

His arguments fall in line with a number of articles published in the past couple months from establishment media platforms. The New Yorker just posted an article asking ‘Is It Time To Torch The Constitution?’ The New York Times published a treatise titled ‘The Constitution Is Sacred. Is It Also Dangerous?’ They also wrote an article highlighting the potential positives of despotic governments in countries like Brazil threatening to shut down public access to Elon Musk’s X (Twitter) in order to force the site to censor citizen accounts. These people are on a war path to convince the public that free speech is a threat.

When political elitists and their lackey’s start attacking free speech it’s usually in preparation for a major crisis that they hope to use as a vehicle to eliminate public freedoms. Free speech is the most important liberty because it enables the populace to discern through debate what the truth is and what to do about it.

The globalists thought they had a lock on information during covid and they were wrong. They won’t make the same mistake again. Whatever the next crisis ends up being, they will definitely seek to silence the the alternative media and any rebellious social media platforms before they move forward.

A Day In The Life.

Up at 8a on Friday, I went thru my finger stick to check my BSL (Blood Sugar Level) and recorded it on my Diabetes 2 chart, made coffee and breakfast, took two 50mg Tramadol and a 300mg Gabapentin for various pains, fired-up the Win-7 Pentium HP desktop to let 32 million lines of code load, had a couple smokes in the cool garage and checked the leftover errands list. All that is postponed until next week. The forecast is for 00 by 4p, today.

It was a VERY cool 39° w/ low 25% humidity outside, and temps headed to 70°. I had some wonderful Kona "Opio" Coffee, then scanned the news and weather sites, and missed the entire "Chris Stigall Show LIVE" (CS Show) from 6-9a, but tuned into the "Chris Plante Show LIVE" (CP Show) from 9-12noon.

The Left is coming for your Rights.

I had breakfast, scanned the news on a couple sites, checked the current and upcoming weather, and enjoyed some smokes in the now open garage. No, I didn't watch the live Fox interview with Bret Baier and the leftist, commie, socialist, Marxist, ♪ ♫ ♬ Kama-lama-ding-dong ♪ ♫ ♬ skank. I caught the post-interview commentary and analysis, and replay clip of it. I loathe, detest and hate that leftist, commie scumbag, and refused to give Fox the hits. I decided to take a break from trying to install my old HP 1660 DeskJet Printer -- almost 4hrs on Wednesday and over 7hrs yesterday. I'm going nutz, having used every workaround I know how to use on it, and I can't get it to run. Phew!

At 2p, my agent made a planned call with an update on 2025 Medicare and my Geisinger Gold policy -- big change in Part D (Rx Drugs) coming -- and Sherry arrived at 2:30. We stayed here until 5:30 when she left, as the sun was setting. I found the CD for my printer, in the basement, and will retry installation tomorrow. After a 6" Turkey Sub and fries for dinner, Discovery's "Gold Rush: Mine Rescue" was on until midnight, and I unplugged for the day.

Up at 8:30a on Saturday, to a cold 39°, blue sky morning, forecast to get into the low-70s. I made the new Kona Coffee, quickly fed the squirrels and bluejays, and closed the garage door, fired-up the oscillating tower heater to warm-up the garage. Brrrrrrrr. After scanning the news headlines, and some breakfast, I got ready for the day around noon. Nowhere to go, nothing to do, and no one to do it with, today. A nice, relaxing day. And a beautiful day, once it warmed-up into the low-70s.

The paperwork has been insidiously piling-up on my desk in the office-sunroom, so I worked on that pile and got thru almost half of it; no TV until the 6p news. After dinner, I watched Discovery's "Expedition Unknown" until 1a. Lights out.

Sleeping-in until 9a on Sunday, a sunny and bright, clear and cold, upper-30s morning, forecast to reach 75° today. The 80s are back this coming week; typical Fall weather up-and-down temps, but NOT "climate change" -- IT'S THE WEATHER. I made coffee, had a couple smokes in the open garage, fed the critters, and had Bacon, Egg & Cheese Toast for breakfast. 2 slices and that IS a breakfast. I tuned into some recent podcasts from "Chris Stigall Show" (CS Show) until around noon, went up and neatened-up my manicured new beard, had a morning shower and started 2 loads of laundry. I ignored the HP 1660 DeskJet Printer driver installation until tomorrow, as I'd had enough frustration from last week's futile installation efforts wo/ the CD; I'll get to it tomorrow.

I watched the F1` US Grand Prix in Austin TX, at the COTA (Circuit Of The Americas) and it was a good race, and then switched over to a TRASHCAR Cup race, for 10 mins, to see my favorite driver win. Good day, and it was beautiful outside. Condo chores finished, I attacked the paperwork pile and got some done. Sunday is another "NBC Night" for TV -- you know what that means. Discovery's "Homestead Rescue" and Fox "Life, Liberty & Levin" carried me to 12 midnight, and I unplugged.

Sleeping-in until 9:30a on Monday, it was a cold morning; I fired-up the condo heat to 75°, the garage heater to who-knows-what, made coffee, and tuned into the "CP Show LIVE". I scanned the news headlines, checked the week's schedule -- it's a FULL one -- had the last Apple Fritter for breakfast, and got ready for the day ahead. I left for my usual 2-3 errand day routine, for points south, at 12:30p. Traffic was light, despite the 4 "Road Construction" choke points along the routes.

Big surprise for customers, from Trump!

In a world reeling from the consequences of the PSYOP-19 scamdemic, where trust in institutions is at best hanging by a thread, a growing body of evidence has emerged that shatters the very foundations of medical integrity. And the Soros-leftist-filth continues to infiltrate and destroy America, now thru their fast-tracked "purchase" of Audacy Radio Network (200 stations), in the US.

Did you see Trump at the Feasterville-Trevose (Buck's Cty) Mickey-D's Drive-Thru window, today? Hilarious!

After getting home around 2:30p, I unloaded, had lunch and hit the LR couch for a "short" snooze -- which lasted 3hrs -- and woke-up in the dark at 6:30. Damn. After some coffee and dinner, I caught the evening news on Fox, and checked the news on my desktop computer. I logged-on to X/Twitter from a link at FR, and found that I have 34,156 "followers", whatever that means. I watched the Weather Channel's "Weather Gone Viral", History's "Ancient Aliens" and Discovery's "Expedition Unknown" until 12:30a, unplugged, set my alarm for 6a, and hit the sack.

Awake and up at 5a on Tuesday, from night sweats, I dried the sheets and pillow, and went downstairs to start the day. After a smoke in the garage, I made coffee, fired-up the office computer, upped the heat to 75° -- 48° outside -- and scanned the news and weather. I had breakfast, re-checked the 11a app't at Wells Fargo, got ready for the day, had a last mug of Kona Coffee, and left at 10:25. The meeting was just an intro mtg, and he showed some very attractive, short term, higher interest rate (BANK) CDs, which I might take advantage of, when my other multiple (INVESTMENT) CDs mature, soon.

On the way home, I stopped by to visit with Sis, and finally got back around 1p. After lunch, I tried re-installing the HP 1660 DeskJet Printer, but the CD Drive had mysteriously "disappeared" from the computer, and after an hour of trying to "get it to re-appear", I gave up. I used to be able to do that, but not anymore. I spent hours and hours and hours -- I lost track -- changing all my online (584 of them) important accounts -- utilities, software subscriptions, CATV subscriptions etc etc etc -- into the night, and quit at 10:30. I was mentally exhausted from fighting so many websites' multi-level security systems, hard-to-find payment sections where CCs are stored. I was exhausted, and quit for the night at 11:30.

Awake at 5a, I went back to sleep until 8, and got up to another blue sky, 54° morning, forecast to be in the mow-80s. Nice. I made coffee, took a 250mg Bayer aspirin for back pain, had a couple smokes in the garage, tuned into the "CS Show LIVE" until 9, then switched to the "CP Show LIVE" until noon. I had breakfast, and a 2nd carafe of Kona "HAPA" Coffee, and got a 1lb bag of Coffee Fools' "Expresso" Blend from the basement, I delved into Sherry's (Daughter) Hollie's Business & Marketing Plans, for her and (Husband) Eric's 2 new business ventures. Good reading, and she'll be over later today, a few hours after Sherry arrives at 1p.

Sherry, Hollie and I had a very nice time together until 6, when both had to leave, since it would be dark in 20-25mins. I had some light dinner, was feeling a bit shaky from hypoglycemia, so I checked the BSL and it had dropped to 80. I quickly had some peanut butter and OJ, and was soon feeling better. I watched History's "American Pickers" thru the evening, and finally unplugged at 1a.

Awake and up at 4:30a -- I was supposed to sleep-in this morning, since I didn't have to be at Corey's European Performance Autohaus shop to get the Jeep's Pirelli tires replaced -- but I couldn't enjoy the LA-LA Land any longer. It is what it is, with so many industries' supply chains crippled and broken. It'll get done when the Pirelli tires are available and shipped. I made coffee, fired-up the furnace, and scanned the weather and news headlines.

Finally light at 7:25a, a 54°, very windy as a cold front passed thru the region, a high overcast cloudy start to the morning, forecast to be much cooler in the low/mid-60s; more like Fall than the past 3-4 days were. ***WILDFIRE WARNINGS*** were posted on all the local, regional and national weather-related websites. Swell. It was noticeably cooler, and more seasonal; "Indian Summer" is over. Is that racist? WTF cares? (No, it isn't.)

I left for WEIS Market around 11:30, and only went to get 5 items, but wound-up getting an overflowing (small) cart -- top and bottom baskets -- and spent $189.63 (!) on a lot of stuff. I got home at 1p, unloaded and put stuff away, had some lunch and worked on paperwork until 4. I hit the couch for a "short" snooze, and woke-up 3hrs later in the dark. After closing down, I had some dinner, watched Discovery's "Homestead Rescue" until 11, and pulled the plug.

Tomorrow starts a new week here in the "Journal", and except for one Dr's app't, I'm clear. Sherry's here tomorrow and we'll plan our week. ***FROST ADVISORY*** im effect for tonite.

How To Beat The Cheat.

Just to be clear, cheating in elections will always be with us. There is way too much at stake for the players to avoid breaking the rules when “necessary.” They need only to say, “The end justifies the means,” and all should be forgiven. It is, however, incumbent on the rest of us to minimize the influence of cheating on the outcomes.

The most basic form of electoral cheating is deception. Kamala Harris has to some degree advocated further construction of a border wall — something she would never really do — but it might get her a few votes. In addition to deceiving by commission, deception by omission is commonly practiced by the corrupt media when they go out of their way to leave out politically harmful details — as in the case of CBS’s recent heavy edit of their interview with Vice President Harris. It seems that there is little if any way deception can be eliminated from the electoral process — other than by cultivating a stronger sense of skepticism among the electorate — as it would also benefit many other forms of consumer decision-making.

Back in the day, when she was just a local pol, the late, not-so-great Dianne Feinstein proposed a San Francisco ordinance making it a crime to utter an untruth in a political statement. Beyond that pesky First Amendment, there’s also the problem of how to promptly rule on such utterances with at least a hint of due process. She was also a pioneer in the encouragement of early absentee voting — so a candidate could have early votes in the bank — just in case they happen to do a DUI or get busted for plagiarism just before Election Day.

After the results of the election of 1960 were posted, my father, a lifelong Democrat, told me that Nixon would have won the presidency had he demanded a recount in Cook County, Illinois. It seems that, as a youth, my dad “counted” votes in Chicago, where they were instead sorted out and weighed, rather than actually counted.

Standing in the way of sweeping reform for the sake of election integrity is the reality that the United States is a veritable crazy quilt of hundreds of counties, each with its own registrar of voters, plus the fifty sovereign states and their fifty different secretaries of state. There is, however, a major reform that can drastically make it a lot harder to cheat, and everybody knows about it: requiring voters to provide a picture ID.

Reaching into their moldy old bag of tricks, the Dems keep trying to brand having to prove who you are as a racist requirement. Give me a break. I must show my ID just to buy a can of compressed air so I can dislodge the Cheeto crumbs from this keyboard. Yet the racist dodge is typical of their condescension... and stupidity. Should the MAGA horde significantly prevail this time around, picture ID might become the norm, and nobody would be inconvenienced as a result.

There are many other ways to cheat. Developing countermeasures is not often all that easy when being done against a moving target. Ballot-handling procedures are pretty much subject to local authority, and the Dems know that. State regulations and various court rulings have some influence, but enforcement of such “rules” is (ahem) inconsistent. Though not without its critics, Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2000 Mules showcases this issue.

There is one particularly reliable way to overcome electoral cheating: win by a big enough margin to irrevocably exceed the phony votes for the other side. Trump failed to get a second term in 2020 even though he outpolled his score for 2016, likely because there was more cheating. This is also a state-by-state problem. It was said that at that time, were New York City and metro Los Angeles not included in the count, Trump would have won. But they were counted. And now the Dems are on the march to abolish the Electoral College, which is fortunately a major long shot. Were they to succeed, a handful of deep blue major metro areas would run the entire country.

Early understanding of this possibility was instrumental in the founders making each state equally represented in the Senate, with subsequent effects on the Electoral College. And just to cast in stone this protection of the more rural parts of the federation, Article V states unequivocally, “No State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate” — meaning that, instead of three quarters of the states being needed to amend the representation of the senate, all states must ratify such an amendment.

Globalist Misinformation: No, the Earth is Not Warming.

World War III is well underway, both conventional wars, as in NATO versus Russia via Ukraine, and the US playing both sides of a battle between Israel and Iran and their proxies. There is also a psychological war underway.

This is the war against the First Amendment in America and the longstanding Western concept of freedom of speech in many other countries. Misinformation and disinformation are the new enemies, concepts known only in the eyes of the beholder.

One man’s disinformation is another man’s speaking truth to power. Who is the referee? We, the people, or the administrative state?

This is a multifaceted war, including all things COVID, vaccinations, election integrity, crime statistics, illegal immigration, and the Earth’s climate. I want to focus on climate change, once known as global warming.

Climate warriors insist the planet’s climate is changing. No one will argue that. We have had ice ages burying the upper Midwest under a mile-thick sheet of ice, with the planet cooling enough to create these massive glaciers, followed by subsequent warming and melting.

Palm trees and camels, now dotting the hot equatorial regions of the planet, once grew and lived in the ice-free Arctic. This was millions of years ago, long before airplanes, air conditioners, and masculine charcoal grills.

Millions of years ago, there was no “man” to create man-made climate change. In fact, the modern form of humans appeared only 200,000 years ago. Yet the climate has been changing long before that.

Perhaps the Earth’s climate is a bit more complicated than the predetermined outcome climate models used today suggest.

Where are the fact-checkers? Why are only a few challenging climate dogmas?

Now we are treated to “hottest day” stories during our Indian summer. Please spare me accusations of racism for using the word “Indian,” which is now verboten in professional sports. Britannica and Wikipedia both describe Indian summer.

The Denver Post breathlessly exclaims, “Mile High City ties the 132-year-old high-temperature record.” Big deal. A 132-year-old record in golf or baseball might be noteworthy, but the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

Does the Denver Post know if there was a warmer late September day in Denver in the 1700s? Or the 700s? Or 2700 BC? Or 27 million BC?

The Denver Post said the same about September, “Record-breaking heat continues after hottest September ever.” Ever? The data goes back to 1872. What if 1772, 772, or 772 BC were hotter? With a 4.5-billion-year time frame, 152 years hardly qualifies as “ever.”

When describing planetary phenomena, a much longer time frame measurement is needed. In the Earth’s history, 132 years is but a blink of an eye.

What if we looked at a longer time frame, say 485 million years?

The Washington (“Democracy Dies in Darkness”) Post surprisingly did just that. Here’s their headline from a few weeks ago, “Scientists have captured Earth’s climate over the last 485 million years. Here’s the surprising place we stand now.”

Researchers reconstructed global mean surface temperature using data assimilation, integrating geological data with climate model simulations. They discovered that “the Earth’s temperature has varied more dynamically than previously thought.”

Like all models, it’s not perfect, but it passed the peer review process at a prestigious journal, Science.

We are currently experiencing a small warming blip from the coldest planetary temperature in half a billion years. Our global temperature today is low, and temperatures this cold were last observed 300 million years ago.

Time perspective is important, as illustrated below. Over the last 20,000 years, temperatures have been relatively stable, and human global warming activities during this time were negligible.

Climate warriors base their entire global warming premise on a few decades of rising temperatures, ignoring the past half-billion years when temperatures fluctuated wildly, almost all of which were devoid of human-induced warming activity. Even with the tiny rise of the past few decades, temperatures are still well below those of most of the past half-billion years.

Yet man, not around 300 million years ago, is causing global warming today, according to many climate scientists. In fact, according to the Washington Post story, “Modern humans appeared 50 million years after falling temperatures that led to the coldest period recorded. “

It seems that humans thrive on a cooler planet, particularly the one we have now. In addition, “Life on Earth has endured climates far hotter than the one people are now creating through planet-warming emissions.”

What about CO2, another bogeyman hiding under the beds of eco-fanatics?

The CO2 Coalition notes that over the past 140 million years, CO2 levels have fallen to dangerously low levels. Specifically, current levels are within 30 parts per million (ppm) of the “line of death,” the limit for plant survival. Once CO2 is below 150 ppm, plant life, and subsequently animal life, cease to exist.

What’s interesting is that CO2 levels have been steadily declining over the past 140 million years. During that same time, in the top graph above, temperatures fluctuated significantly, not correlating with CO2 levels.

What about before 140 million years ago? Around 300 million years ago, CO2 levels were quite low, near the survival threshold. During that same time, the Earth experienced the Karoo Ice Age. I don’t think that’s coincidental. Given present CO2 levels, are we headed toward another ice age?

Despite CO2 levels approaching the death zone, there is a concerted effort to reduce CO2 further. This would be like giving a COPD patient, already struggling to breathe and maintain adequate blood oxygen levels, a respiratory depressant.

From the US Geological Survey,

Carbon dioxide is the most commonly produced greenhouse gas. Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change.

Not only is this a government effort, but it is also a project of globalist oligarchs like Bill Gates. He launched a company “that could remove 5,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by year-end.”

He wants to save the planet and humanity by driving CO2 levels below the line of death. How would that work, exactly? Killing off life on Earth to somehow save the Earth?

Here’s one more “follow the science” tidbit from Nature’s journal Communications Earth & Environment, which looked at surface temperatures over the past almost 200 years and found, “Our results show limited evidence for a warming surge; in most surface temperature time series, no change in the warming rate beyond the 1970s is detected despite the breaking record temperatures observed in 2023.”

In other words, brief periods of warming or cooling are more likely to be caused by short-term variability due to solar or oceanic cycles than any long-term trends.

The bottom line is that Planet Earth is currently in a long and deep cold period that started 50 million years ago. Small upward blips in the steady decline are normal, including the one we are experiencing now. The current rise has far to go, meaning 20°C higher to be near planetary highs over the past half billion years.

CO2 levels correlate poorly, if at all, with global temperatures. Given that CO2 is plant food and, subsequently, animal food and that we are currently at the lowest CO2 levels in 140 million years, efforts to further lower CO2 levels represent an existential threat to life on Earth. Yet this is the goal of the environmental smart set, along with claiming Donald Trump is the existential threat.

The climate is indeed changing. It always has and always will. Temperatures are likely to rise from their current 500 million-year low, regardless of what Bill Gates, John Kerry, Greta Thunberg, or any world government agency says or does.

These people have the hubris to believe they can influence forces beyond their comprehension. In their attempts at regulating and tinkering with Mother Nature, they may ironically be destroying all that they are attempting to save. Unless that’s part of the plan.
