NOAA: Biden and AOC's puppet
I follow the Facebook Page, "National Weather Service, Caribou, Maine" daily as I am interested in the weather, having a house up there. A few days ago they posed from the "Climate Science Center" an alarming post declaring that the end of the world is nigh. I mean that; 8 years, one of the contributors said. I tried to copy that here and am not able to copy the pieces about which I write here. It was designed and written to truly alarm and the "sources" were enviro-left advocates. I can make my points without that set of documents:
I am not a climate scientist though I have an armchair fascination with weather. I do not trust these series of reports as being the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! I worked for Washington State for 25 years, watched and fought the lies. Generally the lies were in the form of incomplete information. If as this report claims, 95% of “scientists” believe the globe is warming, what about the other 5%? The public should have ready access to the opinions of the 5% as well. And NOAA should be publishing them. That Google and Facebook ban dissension to this consensus (proven) in itself is directing the verdict rather than developing an informational campaign. We know, at least those of us who have paid attention that government has no limits as to what it will say to the populace that keeps it in power. Again, I have experience with this. Graphs can be designed for different effects with the same set of numbers. The graph displaying temperature increases in New York ( I assume the almighty “algorithms” know I live here) display the average temperature beginning at 44.5 and ending at 46.5 over a 70 year period - a 2 degree change.. The design of this graph alarms us that warming has “skyrocketed.” The individual year measurements begin at the bottom of the graph and climb clear to the top because the scale is only seven degrees. The numbers may be accurate but the display leaves the impression the change is astronomical (my word). What if, given the other extreme, the bottom number on the left scale was 40 and the top number, in the same size graph, were 100, the increase would not look nearly so dramatic. People might not panic.
A good example of government manipulating the public is Biden and his leftist goons playing with our oil reserves. Recently he released some of the Feds oil reserves for domestic and commercial use. I believe that action was criticized (somewhat quietly) by the enviro-left. Is anyone alive who does not believe he did this to temper inflation of petroleum products hoping that the Dems don’t get tossed out of office in November? He released the reserves so that we would all enjoy a nice summer vacation on the road and return home ready to vote democrat in November. Could he have added to the information about how much remained (in case of natural disaster) and why he had shut down other importation or development opportunities creating the shortage he now wants to mitigate…until after the elections? Yes, he could have but that conflicts with the AOC enviro-left narrative and he ain’t gonna go there.
If Biden and AOC truly believe the world is about to end, would he not continue to allow petroleum prices to rise, in order to reduce consumption (pollution) and save the children? Seriously, what is more important, keeping the democrats in power or saving the earth? That he took the path he did signifies he hopes to be reelected and further cripple the economy in the next four years.
China and India, the world’s two biggest polluters are not taken to task by our or other Western governments or the enviro-left. Remember the Olympics in China at which the participants had to wear masks because of the pollution.? I doubt we want to go to war with China, and frankly, I like India, the world’s largest democracy, but why is no one putting pressure on that country? Neither signed the Paris Climate Accord. The answer is that climate change madness is not about saving the world at all, it is about development redistribution: heck we in the West have had it too good for too long; let us deny ourselves so Asia and Africa have a chance to develop…and pollute. A ton of CO2 is as damaging if emitted from an Asian energy producer as it is if emitted by an American energy producer. The extremist enviro-left is not saving the world, it is redistributing pollution.
What NOAA calls “myths,” (included in the article I could not copy) I am inclined to believe. I can’t prove my assertions but we do know the globe has warmed and cooled possibly thousands of times over its 4.5 billion years but only now, earth is doomed because the pollution is “man caused”? Give me a break. If more peer-reviewed statistics and dissenting reports accompanied these brief reports I might be less of a skeptic. Until I am given unedited facts, ALL of them and allowed to draw my own conclusions, I cannot believe the government. Trump was accused of pressuring NOAA to stay away from climate change issues. The Dems are equally meddlesome, along their party line. I pay daily attention to my friends at NWS in Caribou but I am ashamed that the one bastion of true science, NOAA, has been prostituted by Biden et al. That the private sector seems to go along with this dementia means nothing more than it will prostitute itself rather than risk the ire of government.
