LOL: Climate Crisis (scam) Is Baking Us To Death Or Something

There once was a day when the Credentialed Media kept things responsible, left the Crazy for the supermarket tabloids, but, today is no longer that day

Column: Climate change’s heat is baking us to death. We must act.

America celebrated its 250th year of independence under a historic heat dome that shattered more than 148 records for daily high temperature across the Eastern United States.

The nation’s capital recorded the hottest Fourth of July on record at 103 degrees. Philadelphia, where our Declaration of Independence was written, recorded three days in a row above 101 degrees for the first time. The heat was so severe that parades and events across the country were canceled, including the flagship Independence Day Parade planned in Washington. The heat index in Chicago exceeded 100 degrees on July 1, putting the power grid under strain.

It isn’t just the United States. Heat waves have rocked Europe three times already this summer, with record temperatures hitting the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Portugal in late May, late June and again in July. The June heat wave caused more than 1,300 excess deaths. With less snow on the ground each year to deflect the sun, and the warming Arctic nearby, where rapidly melting sea ice leaves more ocean to absorb the sun’s energy, Europe is warming faster than any other region on earth.

Everywhere is warming faster, you know, but, really, this happens during a Holocene warm period, especially during a big El Nino.

All of this is threatening to collapse the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a critical ocean current system that pulls water from warm areas of the ocean up north where it cools and sinks and cycles back south. The Gulf Stream, which brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean and shapes the climate in the United States as well as Western Europe, is part of that system.

Once thought to be a low-risk possibility for some future generation, new estimates suggest AMOC could collapse within decades and that it’s already too late to turn back the clock.

There is much cult in you, Champ.

Ironically, the very things that help Americans avoid the realities of climate change are speeding it up: our car-based lifestyle, our plentiful air conditioning, our economy based largely on industries that happen inside away from the elements. I lived and worked in Africa for years and never met an African skeptical of climate change.

Well, Elizabeth Shackleford, they also tend to live like it’s a couple hundred years ago with a bit of modern technology around. They’re 3rd world. And they like all the sweet, sweet, climate cash with not strings attached from 1st World nations.

We Americans can choose to put our heads in the sand, but it’s hot down there now, too.

Wildly, few 1st World Warmists actually practice what they preach. How many have even given up their own use of fossil fueled vehicles?
