All natural, not so long ago, was horribly destructive, and repetition would wreak havoc on people and the planet.

Climate crisis! Save our planet! Stop using fossil fuels! The race never ends.
The data presentation shows that storm frequency and the intensity does not increase, but tornado activity has decreased significantly since 1975; provide clear evidence of past, recurrent, major climate changes, including Little Ice Age between 1300 and 1850, a 2,400-year-old forest emerged from beneath the melting ice Alaska Glacier5200 years old mummified tourist frozen on a trail in the Italian Alps with almost no ice –

Strong. But take a few minutes to reflect on REAL climate disasters: The Pleistocene Ice Age. And then asked Michael Mann, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the rest of the climate cataclysm to explain exactly how carbon dioxide and some other greenhouse gases caused those giant ice sheets to grow and melt. flow many times. Just CO2 and GHG, all by itself. They cannot do that. The CO2 crisis is an allegory.
Large-scale glaciation began about 1,800,000 years ago in North America and Europe, and about 800,000 years before that in other continents. There were at least four, possibly five, major glacial periods, interspersed with warm periods (like the one we’re in now) during which the glaciers mostly melted.
That last ice age was named Wisconsinan, because some of the most iconic features were in my home state. It marks the furthest extent of the glaciers south into the United States and east and west across Canada. A piece of limestone on my desk shows the ridges (scratches) caused by the rock pulling along beneath the giant glaciers that once covered the Green Bay Packer country.
During that extreme ice age, ice buried more than 17,000,000 square miles of North America, Europe, Asia and South America: about 30% of Earth’s land area; nearly six times the entire Continent of the United States.
Glaciers – more than a mile thick in places – have pulled so much water out of the ocean that sea levels have dropped 300-400 feet. The world’s continental shelf is high and dry, and a “land bridge” thousands of miles wide between Asia/Siberian and Alaska/Canada has allowed animals and humans to migrate between the continents. Plants and animals arise, disappear, and are replaced with each warming and freezing.
The towering, slowly moving ice walls erased everything in their path. They bulldoze large amounts of soil, rock and boulders out of large tracts of land, then deposit them elsewhere as the glaciers recede. The ice is so heavy that the Earth’s crust beneath it is compacted tens of feet at the edge and nearly 1,000 feet in the area east of Hudson Bay, home to the thickest glaciers. Soil subsidence causes areas far from the glacier to be pushed upwards.
Even today, compacted areas are recovering upwards, while areas pushed upwards are falling, making sea levels appear to be rising in some places and falling in others. other.
The temperature drops sharply during each frost. Average annual air temperatures ranged between 54-68 degrees F (12-20 C) during each ice age. Near the icy ramparts, they ranged from freezing to below freezing. They increased significantly during the interglacial warm periods.
Massive ice sheets covering and just above the world’s northern corn and wheat belts, combined with frigid air and low atmospheric CO2, would make agriculture impossible, if people are farmers instead of nomadic hunter-gatherers. Another ice age will do the same.
The last ice age began about 129,000 years ago and ended 11,700 years ago – though not all at once everywhere. In North America, the glaciers of the United States disappeared about 10,000 years ago; in the Hudson Bay area and its northeast, they persisted for several thousand more years.
As the ice sheets melt, sea levels rise about 400 feet, turning highlands into islands. In warmer waters, coral reefs grow with each foot of sea level rise, creating the Caribbean, Red Sea, Australia and other coral wonderlands that didn’t exist just a few thousand years ago. Life was good again.
Ice Ages are true climate cataclysms – dwarfing anything the Earth may be experiencing today. No wonder alarmists refuse to argue climate change, its natural causes and minor human effects, and whether destroying our energy, economy, and standard of living has any climate benefits are not.
The fact is, their petitions and demands have nothing to do with climate change. They come back control.
Take control of our energy and economic future. Our jobs and standard of living. The types of homes we can have, and how much we can heat and cool them. What kind of cars can we have, and how far can we drive them. What we can hear, see, read, learn, think and say. Under full station Green Fascism.
Amid record crime, the Ukraine war, soaring energy prices, Covid, plummeting student reading and math scores, an economic downturn, a cold winter of discontent – and the rise of dizzying rise in fossil fuel use and emissions in China, India and a hundred developing countries – Biden Democratic policymakers are obsessed with climate changebecause they think it’s the ticket that controls our lives.
It doesn’t matter to them that their entire case depends on ignoring Earth’s history, skeptical voice censorship – and focus on computer model Predicting temperature and weather events is not the same as what is actually happening right outside our window, in the Real World. It doesn’t matter that their climate obsession is make people depresseddrugs and suicide.
It doesn’t matter if we get rid of the fossil fuels that provide 80% of our energy (and 100% of our chemical feed for fertilizers and thousands of other vital products) – and force us to had to rely on wind and solar power – would de-industrialize most of the United States, as would it currently working in Europe. It doesn’t matter if millions of advocacy jobs will disappear, or if the standard of living and pace of life will gradually decrease.
The Biden-Green-Democratic ruling classes could not care more. It is not their jobs and their standard of living that they are declining. Its your and ours. They happily destroy the best of the present and the past that we want to preserve – and replace it with What?? Utopian dreams in a parallel universe? Energy and economic systems exist only in their feverish fantasies and claims?
They do not care. They assumed they would end up on top of the pile, consequences for the rest of us. Perhaps best of all, they actually believe their nonsense. Or at least they expect we believe it – at least long enough to safely get their candidates through the upcoming elections.
So our job is very simple and we are not likely to get a second chance.
Get as many of them out of office as you can on Nov. 8. End dictatorship and power struggle. Preserve and restore American pride, prestige, industry, prosperity, liberty, and sacred honor.
