Climate change alarmists are no longer hedging their claims about global warming with conditionals, but now assert with confidence that human-induced climate change is, without doubt, the cause of summer heatwaves.
Never mind that summer heatwaves have been occurring regularly since human history began, the heatwaves of 2022 are no longer the result of natural cyclical weather patterns but are now caused by anthropogenic climate change, Euronews declared Monday. [bold, links added]
“We know that global warming is the cause, and it’s a straightforward connection to make during a heatwave,” writes Lottie Limb (she/her) about high temperatures in the UK and wildfires in France, Portugal, Spain, Greece, and Croatia.
Ms. Limb goes on to assert that an average global temperature rise of 1.5°C “will be disastrous for many countries”, while global warming is already causing an increase in “the amount of weather at the ‘extremely hot’ end of the spectrum,” making extreme heat events “more frequent, longer, and more intense.”
With remarkable (if confusing) precision, Limb confidently states that a heatwave that would have struck one in 50 times in the preindustrial climate will now “strike five times more often.”
One is obliged to assume that this alleged increase in the probability of heatwaves explains Ms. Limb’s assurance that the 2022 heatwave must be one of those that would never have occurred were it not for cows belching and air conditioners spewing carbon dioxide.
To back up her claims, Limb cites [climate alarmist] Friederike Otto, a senior lecturer in climate science at the UK’s Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment, who states:
“I think we can very confidently say that every heatwave occurring today has been made more intense and more likely because of climate change.”
While assertions of greater likelihood hardly constitute verifiable “causality,” Limb goes on to confidently insist that “we no longer need to wait for ‘attribution studies’ to prove that climate change is making heat events worse.”
Mariam Zachariah, who also works at the Grantham Institute, said that “the message is that we have to start acting, and I do have a lot of hope for us; if we act in time we can do enough to adapt and mitigate climate change for the future.”
Despite the passionate hubris of certain climate alarmists, however, the simple fact is that we have no idea what average global temperatures would be this week had humans never trod planet Earth.
We also do not know what would happen to global temperatures were every person started driving an electric car and drinking through paper straws.
The joy of climate alarmism is, of course, that you don’t need to know, as long as you repeat yourself often enough and employ ever more heated rhetoric for your claims.

Two words: “Hot GARBAGE!”
3 words, clear blue sky. On Sunday, my farm caught a break, 1.5″ of much needed rain, the first measurable rainfall in 6 weeks. Six weeks dominated by clear blue skies. I don’t believe that CO2 has any effect in the formation of clouds. There were times during those six weeks when I was grateful for a passing cloud.
This is the third consecutive La Nina year, where the equatorial Pacific Ocean surface temperature is cooler than average. Where is that headline?
Just a whole bunch of mixed nuts and screwballs.They need to get a Life and stop looking for the TV News Cameras so they can stand on their soap boxes to demand we all live a Primative Way over this false idea of Global Warming/Climate Change
Ok, So looking back on the records where I live, the hottest temperature for July 20 was 101F in….
1896…!!!!! Sure.. Man made global warming… Funny how they can never explain how this carbon in the atmosphere which is still only a trace element in the atmosphere can cause the winds aloft to shift into a pattern that would bring very high temperatures nor why it has happened before between years of record low temperatures during the same summer time of the years.
It makes no importance of what the
climate alarmists are convinced of because
they are F***N jerks who have NO proof of
anything on their side.
In fact, there is NO scientific data in support
of ANY of their claims
In fact, actual science proves they are categorically
WRONG
But don’t expect the assholes to surrender
msm propaganda is on their side
no matter how lyingly1
It is necessary for those building the Smart Cities, that are to become the modern jails for those that remain after planned depopulation, to ramp up the climate catastrophism. Fear and ignorance shall fill those jails and fear and ignorance shall lock them shut. Without widespread fear and ignorance, the globalist plan fails.
