The Vortex Blows
Timothy Birdnow
I believe colder air is dryer than warmer and a weak polar vortex means wetter arctic air.
Alaska's Arctic is Burning Like Never Before in 3000 Years
Fire prefers dry air to moist. Antarctica is the dryest desert on Earth because it's so cold, not warm. No doubt colder air in the Arctic has that impact as well.
This is just a silly argument even if it's true, and it probably isn't.
It also never occurred to these geniuses that there are a LOT more people up there now, and human beings are a prime source of fire. Oh, and with oil and gas drilling it stands to reason we'd have more fires now than in bygone days. Eskimos didn't use kerosene to start big bonfires...
And they tested this out by studying PEAT BOGS. Bogs is the operative word here; that is a wet region by it's very nature.
The article states:
So how did it rise then fall back a thousand years ago? I thought we were in the hottest time in geological history. But we aren't; the Medieval Climate Period was warmer and honest scientists will admit that. The MWP ended around 1500.
Could it not be a simple change in precipitation patterns? After all, we should have seen a considerable DECLINE in fires during the Little Ice Age yet no mention of THAT is made here.

The article states:
Each layer of peat contained traces of past environmental conditions, including charcoal, pollen, and fragments of dead plants and microbes. The team analyzed the concentration of these materials and used radiocarbon and lead dating to establish their ages. By combining these data, the researchers were able to reconstruct patterns of wildfire activity, vegetation changes, and soil moisture over thousands of years.
Material from the peat cores dated back 3,000 years to around 1000 B.C. Charcoal records indicated fire activity was low for the first 2,000 years. Activity rose slightly between roughly A.D. 1000 and 1200 when tundra soils started to dry. But it dropped back to lower levels for the next seven centuries

Well, well, well; another phony argument in favor of climate change, instead of a real one, and there ARE real ones. Frankly I just think these people have too much free time on their hands.

Agreed; there ARE real arguments to be made but those aren't "sexy" enough to panic the public so a bunch of b.s. is trotted out to support the hysterical claims.
The fact is the Earth HAS warmed a modest amount and it may or may not have anything to do with carbon dioxide but it's far from the doomsday scenario pushed by the Gang Green.
I would like to point to the environmental degradation chronicled in the Book of Revelations and how the people did not "repent of their sorceries". Sounds like the climate change scare, where they double down on what is causing the problem in the first place. And by that I mean the socialism and scientism that is the cornerstone of the whole green movement. That is the REAL doomsday scenario, not a trace gas.
