Climate Change: Study Shows Mediterranean Sea 3.6°F Hotter During Roman Empire
by Shifra on July 26, 2020Someone please alert AOC about this new study. Wait, on second thought, don’t. She would probably call for a boycott/shutdown of Scientific Reports.

The Mediterranean Sea was considerably warmer during the period of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago than it is today, according to a new study published in Scientific Reports. The period of the Roman Empire, which ran from 27 BC to 476 AD, coincided with warmest period of the last 2,000 years in the Mediterranean, found the 8-member international team of researchers led by Giulia Margaritelli. Employing ratios of magnesium to calcite taken from skeletonized amoebas in marine sediments, an indicator of sea water temperatures, the researchers determined that the Roman...

Bernie Sanders Leads All Democrat 2020 Candidates … In Private Jet Spending
by Shifra on February 3, 2020Yes, Sen.‘Climate-Change- Is-The-Biggest- Existential-Threat’ Bernie Sanders (Vermont-Hypocrite) seems to love the private jet-setting life. And notice how he stopped slamming “millionaires,” and has moved on to railing against “billionaires,” now that he has amassed a $2.5M fortune. Via Free Beacon.

Australia’s Leftists Play Climate Change Blame-Game
by Shifra on January 14, 2020Oh, look: For some reason, Barack Obama felt the need to chime in with this dumb, er, nonsensical, er, “progressive” talking point: That's odd The Australian police have arrested two hundred folks for arson https://t.co/wzrBjy2DhR — Jim Hanson (@JimHansonDC) January 13, 2020 Via WSJ. ….The current round of blazes started late last year.

Byzantine environmental restrictions prevent landholders from clearing scrub, brush and trees. State governments don’t do their part to reduce the...

by Shifra on January 9, 2020So, computer models that pretend, er, purport to predict climate change, er, the weather, are not always 100% accurate? Paging Al Gore… Via Free Beacon. The Glacier National Park is set to replace signs predicting glaciers would disappear by 2020 due to climate change. The glaciers remain. The signs were posted in the Montana park a decade ago because, at the time, climate change forecasts predicted the glaciers would be completely melted by 2020. The U.S. Geological Survey told the park in 2017 that the glaciers were not melting as fast as predicted due to changes in the forecast model, but park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen said the park was unable to change the signs until now due to budget constraints…....

by Shifra on October 10, 2019Yep, Charmin uses paper from a Canadian forest that acts as a critical check on climate change. Or something. Via CBS. ….More than 150 groups are pushing the maker of Charmin toiler paper and Bounty paper towels to use recycled materials in its products. Currently, neither of those products uses recycled paper, and about one-third of it is sourced from Canada’s boreal forest — a large swath of virgin forest that rings the Arctic Circle and acts as a critical check on climate change. “It’s just unacceptable that a company like P&G is making toilet paper, a product that is used for seconds and flushed, from virgin pulp,” said Shelley Vinyard, boreal corporate campaign manager for the Natural Resources Defense...

CNN Propaganda: Climate Change Makes Hurricanes More Dangerous
by Shifra on September 2, 2019On September 8, 1900, a hurricane hit Galveston, Texas. It was the deadliest U.S. natural disaster in history, with estimates of the death toll ranging from 6,000 to 12,000, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. CNN “conveniently” omitted this from their report. And, as many have pointed out on Twitter: They can’t predict where Hurricane Dorian will hit in the next 12 hours, but they can somehow predict exact weather patterns…in twelve years? There are 74 models guessing which path a hurricane might take days from now, but we know with certainty next century's climate. — Razor (@hale_razor) September 7, 2017 Via American Thinker.

by Shifra on August 28, 2019Apparently, little Sandy lives by the statement widely attributed to P.T.
