TV journalist John Stossel sued Facebook over its generic ‘fact checks’ about ‘climate change,’ saying that, because they falsely implied he was in error, Facebook had defamed him. Stossel is correct. This incessant ‘fact-checking’ bias leaves most Americans ignorant about important facts that challenge the whole climate change narrative. Most people, therefore, have no idea what the climate is really doing, and even fewer know that:
The number of strong tornadoes in the US has been decreasing for 65 years (graph created using this NOAA data ): Northern hemisphere autumn and winter snow extents have been increasing for 50 years. There has been no significant increase in either the number of tropical cyclones over the last 40 years or the total energy of tropical cyclones over the last 50 years. Source. Polar bear numbers have been increasing since the 1960s.
The number of US forest fires has decreased significantly . (Many fires in the 1920s and ‘30s were controlled burns, preventing the huge fires that now plague the US. A major factor in recent uncontrolled fires is poor forest husbandry.) While the above specifics may surprise many, it’s more significant that climate ‘scientists’ completely fail to take any other climate feedback agent into account. They point to warming and blame CO2 but, of course, correlation does not automatically imply causation.
Where is the proof of causation? In truth, it’s highly uncertain how much-increased CO2 is influencing surface warming, and how much may be due to other feedback factors.
Here’s some ‘greenhouse’ science for you:
Increasing Tropical Tropospheric Temperatures (TTTs) cause surface warming via greenhouse gases. Increasing TTTs result from H2O, CO2, and CH4 molecules absorbing and re-radiating longwave radiation, resulting in increasing Downwelling Longwave Radiation (DLR) from the tropical troposphere to the ground. (Here, ‘longwave’ refers to the infrared spectrum.) The increased TTTs and DLRs cause the increased surface warming.
However, these TTTs and DLRs are not increasing at the rate IPCC models predict. The 2015 IPCC AR5 Report says of TTT: Upper Air Temperature. Trends in the tropics were more uncertain than global trends although even this region was concluded to be warming. [snip] […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
