Four Fool's Fables
Timothy Birdnow
They're at it again.
Yes, the Gang Green is busily chirping about their great obsession - so called climate change, or the artist formerly known as global warming.
Here are a few of the articles I found at Sci Tech Daily on the subject.
First, seems your dog is wrecking the ecology and we must get rid of pets or we're all going to die.
The ridiculous article actually warns darkly that dogs present a "climate emergency"!
According to the article:
Well duh! That's what animals do when faced with other predators, like wolves, in nature. It's no more damaging to the environment than a wolf pack coming through.
The point is to encourage people to stop having pets. All part of the Malthusian scheme as pets eat food that humans should be eating, the lunaey left believes. And keeping pets diverts attention from the Great Cause.
Next we have this little tidbit:
Earth’s Freshwater Is Suffocating: According to Scientists, It’s a Global Emergency
Notice how everything is an emergency to these people and how we're all going to die unless we implement draconian government regulations.
Funny; we were told that global warming is making the planet warmer; fish thrive in warm conditions by and large.
FTA:
The only solution is drastic population reduction and the dismantling of industrial civilization. Or they are just full of crap.
My money is on the latter; this is all based on computer models and not actual observation.
BTW fish have survived through the Jurassic and Cretaceous and are in no way threatened by a very minor warming of 1*. These folks never look at the big picture, but rather compartmentalize to the point of idiocy.
A third article argues that pollution is hiding Global Warming and so scientists can't find it, even though they are just by golly SURE it's there!
(I mean they've looked everywhere; under the couch cushions, behind the radiator, etc.)
FTA:
Hah! We have gone full circle here, going back to the "global cooling" scare of the '70's. The argument then was that aerosols would cool the planet and we would go into an ice age. When that didn't pan out they simply shifted gears and announced industrial emissions were raising carbon dioxide levels and we were all going to fry. It was going to be Jurassic 2.0 and the world would turn to desert and we would be beset by floods and tornadoes and raining frogs and plagues of locusts and the like. Of course it didn't happen that way then...
Finally we have this story about mangroves being found further north than previously recorded in Georgia. What of it? Mangroves do well in marshland - something civilization used to eliminate via dams and leveees. But now we are"restoring" our "wetlands" and are surpised to find these wetland inhabitants settling into the region.
Naturally it's blamed on "climate change" and not on changes to public land use policies.
Temperatures in Georgia have risen by 0.8°F, according to researcxhers. so how is this spurring on mangrove migration? Anybody?
The article states:
Soooo
What they are saying is satellites have discovered more mangrove stands than we knew were there and they automatically concluded that these are new stands, not marginal groves that had been there all along. Ri-ight.
This is what has been happening all along; we have new data that is showing us things we didn't know and we assume the things are all new when in fact most of them were there before. Like Greenland seeing melting, it has happened plenty of times in days of yore, but we focus laser-like on carbon dioxide as the culprit and claim this is entirely new and a potential catastrophe'.
Someone really should name this tendency of people to seek out the most hysterical, apocalyptic interpretation of events.
I see a full court press coming on "climate change" as the Trump Administration winds down the hysteria over a very modest warming trend over the last century. Global Climate Flatulence (my name for it) was far too handy a tool for social and politcal control as well as for gaming the system for money that they can't let it go. They are going to pile on the youths with everything being a extinction level event to frighten people into returning the Democrats to power and restoring the whole corrupt scheme. Mark my words.

According to the article:
"New research from Curtin University highlights the significant but often overlooked environmental impact of pet dogs, revealing widespread negative effects on wildlife, ecosystems, and the climate.
Although the ecological damage caused by cats has been well documented, this study shows that dogs, currently the most common large carnivores on the planet, pose a substantial and complex environmental threat.
Lead researcher Associate Professor Bill Bateman, from Curtin’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences, explained that pet dogs, even when leashed, can disturb and directly harm wildlife, particularly shorebirds.
"As well as predatory behavior like chasing wildlife, dogs leave scents, urine, and feces, which can disrupt animal behavior long after the dogs have left,” Associate Professor Bateman said. "Studies have found that animals like deer, foxes, and bobcats in the US are less active or completely avoid areas where dogs are regularly walked, even in the absence of the dogs.”
He continues, "Dog waste also contributes to pollution in waterways and inhibits plant growth, while wash-off from chemical treatments used to clean and guard dogs from parasites can add toxic compounds to aquatic environments. In addition, the pet food industry, driven by a vast global dog population, has a substantial carbon, land, and water footprint.

"More farming, more wastewater, more dams, and a warmer climate—they all change how our freshwater ecosystems function,” says Junjie Wang. With more nutrients flowing into rivers, lakes and reservoirs, algae grow faster, but when they die and decompose, they use up huge amounts of oxygen. "We found that the main causes lay in these direct human activities. First, it turns out that nutrient input through, for example, over-fertilization, is a major driver of this acceleration. Secondly, the longer travel time of freshwater to the sea through the construction of dams and reservoirs has proven to be just as important,” says Jack Middelburg.
The only solution is drastic population reduction and the dismantling of industrial civilization. Or they are just full of crap.

An international study led by the University of Eastern Finland and the Finnish Meteorological Institute has shown that the formation and characteristics of low-altitude clouds are highly sensitive to changes in atmospheric aerosol concentrations. This discovery has important implications for understanding how human-generated fine particles may have moderated climate warming caused by greenhouse gases. The findings were published in Nature Geoscience.

The article states:
"Today, scientists follow in Muir’s footsteps by studying mangrove ecosystems up close in muddy, waterlogged environments. But unlike Muir, modern researchers also have access to satellite technology that offers a broad, detailed view of coastal habitats. Using both ground surveys and satellite data, scientists have recently discovered previously unrecorded mangrove stands along the U.S. East Coast, evidence that these tropical trees are expanding their range more rapidly than expected."
Soooo

From now on any climate change research is from The Bureau of Imaginary Problems. Taken and kept from a post Ace of Spades has up.
