“The change that’s now going on is very strongly concentrated in the Arctic. In fact in three respects, it’s not global, which I think is very important. First of all, it is mainly in the Arctic. Secondly, it’s mainly in the winter rather than summer. And thirdly, it’s mainly in the night rather than at the daytime. In all three respects, the warming is happening where it is cold, not where it is hot.
The people in Greenland love it. They tell you it’s made their lives a lot easier. They hope it continues. I am not saying none of these consequences are happening. I am just questioning whether they are harmful.
There’s a lot made out of the people who died in heat waves. And there is no doubt that we have heat waves and people die. What they don’t say is actually five times as many people die of cold in winters as die of heat in summer. And it is also true that more of the warming happens in winter than in summer. So, if anything, it’s heavily favorable as far as that goes. It certainly saves more lives in winter than it costs in summer.
So that kind of argument is never made. And I see a systematic bias in the way things are reported. Anything that looks bad is reported, and anything that looks good is not reported.
A lot of these things are not anything to do with human activities. Take the shrinking of glaciers, which certainly has been going on for 300 years and has been well documented. So it certainly wasn’t due to human activities, most of the time. There’s been a very strong warming, in fact, ever since the Little Ice Age, which was most intense in the 17th century. That certainly was not due to human activity.
And the most serious of almost all the problems is the rising sea level. But there again, we have no evidence that this is due to climate change. A good deal of evidence says it’s not. I mean, we know that that’s been going on for 12,000 years, and there’s very doubtful arguments as to what’s been happening in the last 50 years and (whether) human activities have been important. It’s not clear whether it’s been accelerating or not. But certainly, most of it is not due to human activities. So it would be a shame if we’ve made huge efforts to stop global warming and the sea continued to rise. That would be a tragedy. Sea level is a real problem, but we should be attacking it directly and not attacking the wrong problem.”
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Articles like this one are encouraging to me because they just keep coming. The more people are informed about the silly scam of human-caused “global warming” the more likely that the scam can be brought to a halt and the scamsters exposed and possibly even made to pay for their attempted fraud. Here’s another good one that includes the climate scam as well as other scams that are ongoing:

Just noticed that I linked the wrong post from Absurdistan stack:

Thanks for the link; well written and scary as hell. Explains a lot about FJB and his partners in crime.
Great stuff!
OMG! Wherwe is Linentgian(sp) vs. The Ants?
The wealthiest, most powerful, and politically connected all have ocean front homes.
End of discussion
Bam bam and Mikey have one.
and they got a new chef fairly recently.
And the banks finance those properties and the insurance companies insure them.
Set and match.
They are in the surge zone for hurricanes, therefore the flood zone, so you and I finance them with Federal flood insurance. Aren’t you so happy to finance multi-millionaires and billionaires beach homes?
Oceans don’t rise from melting ice bergs they are already in the water. They only rise from land based ice and snow which is not changing. Their ocean front multi-million beachfront compounds are safe.
For most of Earth’s history, the climate has been far warmer and the sea level has been much higher than now. They simply took a warming trend and blamed it on human actions so they could use it as a means of grift and control.
Well, they know that the human capacity to believe in words without proof has long been established by their trail of successly ran but later discarded religion scams.
As they drain your life of its vitality they have you all looking to the skies saying
“Save us sky daddy” while they swallow up the last ounce of your productivity, angry that you have no more to give them.
Usurites are your masters.
You serve the religions they invented.
Still.
I try to show the way out but so far, the propaganda was too effective on ya’ll
Let’s try it this way children:
“Teach up a child [goy] in the way for him [goy] and he [the goy] will not turn aside from it.”
The poles were once tropical (hence oil in those regions) and Ice once covered the Norther Hemisphere. Global warming would be much easier to deal with for humans than another Ice Age which would be a real catastrophe of global starving.
Man made global warming is a scam perpetrated by powerist “watermelons” (James Delingpole- green on the outside and red on the inside).
The fuck it is.
Just when it’s too low or high. We can’t even reach consensus on THAT.
I think either the Al Goreical of John ( lurch face ) Fucking Kerry know what ,not only the optimum temp for the whole planet should be but also what the sea levels should also be right ? Dirt naps for both of these flim flammers if I we’re King For A Day . I prefer Burt Lancaster in The Rainmaker , it was quite frankly more credible as a performance than these two jokers straight outta central casting from Clown World Inc .

No offense to Mr. Clemens, but I think we may have passed a tipping point even he didn’t foresee.
Yeah this fucking guy ( the author ) is one big limited hangout , I reject most of the premises to which his article is made up of .
You look at one of those 15000 year ice melt charts and fucking tell me honestly that there has been an excellaration in warming over even the last 300 hundred years or so . Its complete and total bullshit and thank you for noticing it as well “.It Doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing ” or interpret the fact that we’ve been coming out of an ice age for the last fifteen thousand years and if anything the rate of warming has begun to decline over the last three hundred years , not excellerate .

Watch those videos by Tony Heller. I like the one showing Plymouth Rock over a hundred years ago and the water level is the same. Global warming is a scam. I like this warm period when the earth is liveable and food grows. Global cooling and a lack of CO2 would be the problem. The climate is the least of my concerns.
One of my favorite bits from Heller is his chart showing how the temperature record has been selectively and fraudulently changed to support the “CO2 is killing us!” hypothesis. Basically, they change the past to make it look colder, and they change the present to make it look warmer. Instant global warning! And just how much do they CHANGE the numbers? Just enough to make the imaginary warming correlate perfectly with changes in CO2!
WHEN THIS PLANET WAS CREATED, IT WAS “NOT” TILTED ON ITS AXIS…OUR CREATORS “ALLOWED” IT TO BECOME THIS WAY FOR A “VALID REASON”.
ALL THAT HAPPENING NOW IS A “RETURN” TO ITS “ORIGINAL AXIS” (PERPENDICULAR)
ONCE THIS HAPPENS, THERE WILL BE NO SUCH THING AS “BAD WEATHER”…ONLY “NATURAL WEATHER”…THUS RETURNING OUR ORIGINAL “MOTHER EARTH”…A TRULY “BEAUTIFUL MOTHER” EARTH!!!
THE “ORIGINAL HUMANITY” WILL ALSO RETURN WITH HER…ONLY THE “HELLENIST” WILL “NO LONGER BE” HERE!
It’s flat so no tilt.
Is the flat earth like a pancake, with two sides? How thick is the flat pancake? If you dig deep enough, will you emerge in China, or is China on our side? What happens when you step over the edge? Do you fall screaming into the abyss, or does gravity suck you down against the other side and you start walking around on the other side? Are there people living on the other side? Do they look like us?
Some of the possibilities are interesting. If Earth is flat and China is on our side, could there be an alternate China on the other side and an alternate America over there, too-like a mirror image?
Alternately, what if we live on the inside of an enormous globe, so the Earth would look flat when viewing really long distances? Gravity would keep you from shooting straight across, when flying to China.
Are people inside looney bins allowed access to the internet? Some new kind of therapy? Hope it works out.
One argument against him being nuts is that he is able to carry his theses out to some kind of logical conclusion, even though he provides no supporting evidence for his statements. I have had some experience with crazy people. Had a cousin who was so crazy, that he could not live in town; had to live out isolated like a hermit. Of course, being isolated all the time was probably not good for him, and made his insanity worse. When I visited him with his mother, and tried to carry on a conversation, he would seems sane for a while and could carry a really advanced thesis or argument out to about 80% complete, but would then suddenly dribble off into some incoherent mumbling.
Cuz , is that you ? Lol.
Hey , “Hellenism” is like a big part of my jam Kenny G ?!Oh and your sickening baby doll jazz sucks Aaaassssss.
A glass full of ice water doesn’t overflow when the ice eventually melts.
The whackjobs that claim it does, don’t understand that it’s condensation from the air that causes water to form on the outside of the glass and drip to the bottom .
The excess leaks out by osmosis to the outside of the glass! Because…SCIENCE!
