Outrageous climate hoax: The pathetic pretext for the @theNASEM climate report against the Trump EPA proposal to rescind the endangerment finding is last year's flooding caused by Hurricane Helen, the Los Angels wildfires and the July 4 Texas flooding. Claimed emissions and/or "climate" links to these events were been easily debunked when these events occurred.

nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/29239/… 1/ No surprise: The rigged @theNASEM report concludes that the Obama EPA's 2009 endangerment finding for greenhouse gases "was accurate, has stood the test of time and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence."🙄🙄🙄 2/

I will be going through the new MAHA Report page-by-page in a single thread. Stay tuned. 1/ nytimes.com/interactive/20… This chart from the MAHA Report (p. 6) is apparently intended to support the claim that: "The health of American children is in crisis."

Fact Check:

1. Bait and Switch. The chart compares life expectancy vs. per capita health expenditure among developed countries . It says nothing about the health of children or that their health is in crisis.

2. Other Country Fallacy. The chart doesn't even really support its ostensible purpose -- i.e., to show that Americans are less healthy despite spending the most on health care. We have a much larger, and much more ethnically and economically diverse population than the other developed countries. We spend more for the same health care because we can afford to pay more. Consider, for example, the rationale behind President Trump's Executive order on prescription drugs, issued to fix the problem of Americans subsidizing global drug prices. We pay more because we can afford it. We also have more ready access to health care. That costs money and it's why people from around the world come to the US for health care vs. being stuck on a waiting list in, say, Canada or the UK. We are different than other countries.

3. Data Quality. The chart's source, "Our World in Data", is a UK non-profit. I don't know how reliable its charts are. I don't know how accurate the statistics are. And I'm quite sure "Our World in Data" charts do not satisfy the White House Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) stringent requirements on data quality used to set policy. 2/

Norwegian statistics bureau throws cold water on emissions-driven global warming hysteria.

"We find that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be strong enough to cause systematic changes in the temperature fluctuations during the last 200 years."


More from the Norwegian statistics bureau:

All four previous interglacial periods were warmer than today, while CO2 at pre-industrial levels.

The Red Pope swings and misses at the origin of warming and emissions:

1. The current warming trend began at the bottom of the Little Ice Age in the late 1600s.

2. Recent warming began with the series of El Ninos that began in 1980.

3. We are in an El Nino year now.

4. As to emissions, warming precedes emissions. It gooses the natural carbon cycle. See Vostok ice cores and this -

5. Only 12% or so of atmospheric CO2 is manmade. 8/
The Red Pope just makes it up:

1. There is no way to say that the temperature rise since the 1970s is the fastest in 2,000 years.

2. There was little if any urban heat island effect 2,000 years ago and no satellites.

3. Then there's this: "Dansgaard-Oeschger events are rapid N. Hemisphere temp jumps of up to 15°C in Greenland that repeatedly occurred w/i a few decades during the last ice age."

4. Climategate revealed that temperature targets like 1.5°C are just 'plucked out of thin air' and are not science.

5. No one knows what the global temperature in 1850 was.

6. 'Ocean acidification' is a myth. The oceans may have become slightly less basic, but that is not more acidic. Two is not more negative than three.'

7. There is no evidence of any effects from any ocean pH change.

8. Norther Hemisphere snow cover is trending up. 9/

USA Today's 'fact check' is dishonest from the start.

Is yesterday's Northeast rain a 1,000-year event, a 100-year event or a 19-year event?

Or will the WaPo say anything - except the facts - to advance the climate agenda?

Let's go through the story. 1/

washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/0… Claim: WaPo calls the flood a 100-year event. But then upgrades it to a 19-year event.

Reality: Vermont flooded in 1927. Mention of this was omitted.

B/c the 100-year flood occurred 96 years after the last one, it's now a 19-year event? 🤔 2/ weather.gov/media/btv/even…

I will now take apart the NYTimes version of 'hottest ever' Earth by climate propagandists @elenalingshao and @bradplumer. 1/

nytimes.com/2023/07/06/cli… No, the Earth's hottest days were not July 3-5, 2023. That is based on bogus computer modeling.

Actual global surface temperature measurements indicate today's temp (57.47°F) is slightly cooler than that on April 24 (57.53°F).

Cooler ≠ 'Hottest ever.'

Biden is trying to use the reconciliation spending orgy called the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" for otherwise impossible climate policy.

The bill circumvents the recent SCOTUS decision in West Virgina v. EPA, barring EPA from regulating coal plants. @Sen_JoeManchin 1/ Reconciliation is a special process to avoid the Senate filibuster for spending bills. Policy provisions -- like climate regulation -- are excluded from reconciliation.

Biden is circumventing the filibuster on EPA regulation of coal plant emissions by... @Sen_JoeManchin 2/

Dishonest and/or brain-dead NYTimes readers respond to West Virgina v. EPA.

nytimes.com/2022/07/01/opi…

1/ Some points:

1. CO2 emissions are not 'toxic'.

2. There is nothing else that is 'toxic' coming out of coal plant smokestacks.

3. EPA rules regulating non-CO2 emissions remain in place.

4. US coal plant emissions are a very small part of global emissions.
