August and September are great months to be a professional climate alarmist like Dr. Michael Mann of the University of Pennsylvania.
You have hurricanes making landfall, wildfires seemingly everywhere, the odd F-4 tornado wreaking devastation, and you can pretend that these [events] never happened before we started adding CO2 to the atmosphere. [emphasis, links added]
Plus, you have virtually all the media and a host of “environmental” groups parroting every seemingly scientific observation without question.
Yes, alarmists find it best to use their time during the hazy hot days of summer linking every possible weather event to our use of fossil fuels and that demon molecule, CO2.
They must do this in order to instill the fear required to impose economically crippling new taxes or restrict citizens’ freedom to choose what car, dishwasher, stove, showerhead or washing machine to purchase.
Right now, with wildfires in Canada and Greece and the tragic fire in Lahaina, Maui, the focus is on linking supposed man-made warming to these events and characterizing them as unprecedented.
Are they really extraordinary and increasing?
NASA reports that between 2003 and 2019, the global area burned has dropped by roughly 25 percent.
In addition, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service reports that according to satellite data, the year 2020 was one of the least active years since records began in 2003.

Heat waves in Texas and Italy are also trumpeted as global and escalating due to increasing carbon emissions.
Conveniently omitted are exceedingly cold temperatures in Northern Europe and the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
The USHCN temperature data reveals that the number of days over 100 degrees F (37.8°C) peaked in the 1930s and has been in an 80-year decline.

Everybody already knows Summers are always Hot but they use the triple digit temperature in July and claim its Global warming and that we all must give up our modern way of living and all go primitive and sacrifice a virgin to appease the Sun God when there is a Eclipses of the sun
Here in the Denver area the average high for much of June and all of July is 90F and yet we had more days with highs in the 70s than above 90. And only in the last couple of weeks we’ve had consistently above 90 although not even one day hit 100F. Next couple of days we will see highs in the 70s with chance of heavy rain. Hardly sounds like a catastrophic summer.
Also we’ve had few named storms in the Atlantic basin so far with only one or two reaching Cat 1 hurricane strength and only one tropical storm hitting the Texas coast–that storm is the one that will give us a shot at some much desired rain.
It turns out the 70s for a high today was overly optimistic. Right now it is 65F outside at 1:30pm with clouds and a drizzle so I highly doubt it’s gonna get much warmer.
July 24, 2023 After Nobel Prize Scientist Declares ‘There Is No Real Climate Crisis’ – He is Abruptly Canceled for IMF Climate Talk: Claim
Allegations are being leveled that the cancelation of a speech by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist is linked to his opinions about climate change.

Very early in the global warming movement activists would find out the speaking schedules of scientist who opposed their agenda and have their talks canceled.
Back in the 1970’s it was Global Cooling and a New Ice Age the very same liberal rags Time and Newsweek was giving that Top Coverage back then
