I.Q. Test: You are in your living room and it's getting very hot. You keep putting more logs on the active fireplace. Q: Did the living room heat cause the fire in the fireplace, or did the fireplace heat up the living room?
Answer:
Chicken Little Climate Change DEFINITELY DOES NOT CAUSE WILDFIRES!!! On the contrary, wildfires cause the atmosphere to heat up and produces billions of tons of CO2 and Toxic Smoke and Particulates. (Phony Reversal of Cause and Effect)
Climate Change? Be Very Afraid of CDS — Carbon Derangement Syndrome. In 2013, astrobiologist Jack O’Malley-James predicted that visible life on Earth would end due to too little atmospheric CO2. No, that’s not a typo. The gas’ levels will ultimately decline over time (the dinosaur age saw levels five to 10 times today’s), O’Malley-James explained. Eventually, they’ll drop so low that plants won’t be able to photosynthesize, which, of course, will collapse the food chain. CO2 is the “control knob” for the climate. This has been proven to be ridiculous. CO2 makes up only about 0.04% of the atmosphere, while 96–99% of the atmosphere is oxygen and nitrogen. Water vapor, a much larger determinant of temperature, varies from 1-4%. But what determines temperature more than anything else? Changes in the Earth’s solar orbit (obviously). NASA has admitted this.

Extreme ocean temperatures are jet fuel for tropical cyclones, driving more active hurricane seasons with bigger, stronger storms. They also can boost heat and humidity over nearby land areas, increasing risks to human health during the warmest parts of the year.

This does't PROVE that Chicken Little Climate Change does not exist, but the fact that they have to lie to you goes a long way to cause doubt.
Record ocean temperatures could lead to "explosive hurricane season," meteorologist says
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/explosive-hurricane-season-ocean-temperatures-la-nina-weather-channel-meteorologist/
In order for a hurricane to form, two things must be present: a weather disturbance, such as a thunderstorm, that pulls in warm surface air from all directions and water at the ocean’s surface that is at least 80° Fahrenheit (27° Celsius). Because it is the interaction of warm air and warm seawater that spawns these storms, they form over tropical oceans between about 5 and 20 degrees of latitude. At these latitudes, seawater is hot enough to give the storms strength and the rotation of the Earth makes them spin. Hurricanes start simply with the evaporation of warm seawater, which pumps water into the lower atmosphere. This humid air is then dragged aloft when converging winds collide and turn upwards. At higher altitudes, water vapor starts to condense into clouds and rain, releasing heat that warms the surrounding air, causing it to rise as well. As the air far above the sea rushes upward, even more warm moist air spirals in from along the surface to replace it. As long as the base of this weather system remains over warm water and its top is not sheared apart by high-altitude winds, it will strengthen and grow. More and more heat and water will be pumped into the air. The pressure at its core will drop further and further, sucking in wind at ever increasing speeds. Over several hours to days, the storm will intensify, finally reaching hurricane status when the winds that swirl around it reach sustained speeds of 74 miles per hour or more. Eventually, hurricanes turn away from the tropics and into mid-latitudes. Once they move over cold water or over land and lose touch with the hot water that powers them, these storms weaken and break apart. Recent studies have shown a link between ocean surface temperatures and tropical storm intensity – warmer waters fuel more energetic storms.

Utter Hogwash: Climate change fueled the fury of hurricanes Helene and Milton. Two new studies link abnormally hot water in the Gulf of Mexico to the storms’ intensity.
NO, HOT AIR FROM WILDFIRES!!!

Proof: Arson (and a small amount of negligent human cause) is to blame
What is the ignition temperature of plant matter? 450 Fahrenheit!!! Average ignition temperatures were species dependent, ranging from 227°C to 453°C, with a large degree of scatter from leaf to leaf. Correlations of time to ignition and ignition temperature were made, but showed only a weak dependence on leaf thickness and almost
no dependence on mass of moisture in the leaf. https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/30610

Arson is the criminal act of deliberately or maliciously setting fire to property including public lands with the intent to damage or defraud. Devices and “hot sets” are commonly used to ignite fires. Arson is a felony, punishable by imprisonment of one year or more and/or a fine. A suspect found guilty of arson may also be responsible for all costs associated with the suppression, rehabilitation of land, and damages incurred by the wildfire he/she set. Arson fires may account for over 20% of all human-caused wildland fires, and up to 70% or more fires in some jurisdictions. The actual number is unclear as arsons fires may not be recognized as such and be classified as another cause, undetermined, or unknown for some time before a pattern develops. https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/fire-prevention-education-mitigation/wildfire-investigation#arson
September 15, 2024 - As of this morning, 62 large active wildfires are currently being managed with full suppression strategies nationwide. Current fires have burned 2,447,282 acres. 27,371 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to incidents, including 25 complex and 3 type 1 incident management teams, 566 crews, 1,875 engines, and 149 helicopters.
https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/nfn
To date, 36,855 fires have burned 7,329,660 acres nationally. This compares to the 10-year average for this date of 44,264 fires and 5,765,878 acres.
Are you SCARED yet? Here. Nearly three quarters of the global population can expect strong and rapid changes in extreme temperatures and rainfall in the next 20 years unless greenhouse gas emissions are cut dramatically, according to a new study.

Connecticut on alert for explosive wildfire growth as drought conditions creep into Northeast

New Technique of Propaganda - Assume a Fact Exists in order to make a different point to "slide" over the proof necessary for the initial fact.
EXAMPLE: "How do scientists figure out
how much climate change is to blame for
a specific weather event?" Written by a little innocent girl with lots of DEI qualifications; the whole article is a complete fabrication of "facts".
ANALYSIS: Chicken Little "Climate change" is completely unsupported! You are distracted to think of "weather events" and subliminally assume Chicken Little Climate Change is an established fact. What is a fact is that WEATHER heats up from wildfires caused by ARSON. It takes 450 F of hot air to ignite a wildfire - thus Chicken Little Climate Change cannot cause wildfires and the heat that goes with it. The author of that article even writres, "Heat waves are fairly easy to tie to climate change, because we have lots of long-term temperature records from around the globe, and computer models simulate temperature well." Gobbledygook!!!

31,000 scientists say “no convincing evidence”. There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

There Is No Climate Emergency, Say 500 Experts in Letter to the United Nations (October 01, 2019). Their Letter: The general-circulation models of climate on which international policy is at present founded are unfit for their purpose. Therefore, it is cruel as well as imprudent to advocate the squandering of trillions of dollars on the basis of results from such immature models. Current climate policies pointlessly and grievously undermine the economic system, putting lives at risk in countries denied access to affordable, reliable electrical energy. We urge you to follow a climate policy based on sound science, realistic economics and genuine concern for those harmed by costly but unnecessary attempts at mitigation
Here are the specific points about climate change highlighted in the letter:
1 Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming.
2. Warming is far slower than predicted.
3. Climate policy relies on inadequate models.
4. CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a plant food that is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
5. Global warming has not increased natural disasters.
6. Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities.
7. There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic.

Putting the 'con' in consensus; Not only is there no 97 per cent consensus among climate scientists, many misunderstand core issues.
Lots of people get called “climate experts” and contribute to the appearance of consensus, without necessarily being knowledgeable about core issues. A consensus among the misinformed is not worth much. Second, it is obvious that the “97%” mantra is untrue. The underlying issues are so complex it is ludicrous to expect unanimity. The phoney claim of 97% consensus is mere political rhetoric aimed at stifling debate and intimidating people into silence.

Dr. John F. Clauser, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics said:
“Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists.” Chicken Little Climate Alarmists are using the summer’s heat as “proof” global warming is happening as a result of greenhouse gas emissions caused by man and animals, mostly livestock. This "theory" is debunked in the article herein!

Report finds
‘no evidence’ of a climate emergency. An international study has found that there is “no evidence” of a climate emergency. “The study analysed data from heat, drought, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and ecosystem productivity, and could not plot a trend either way. While every fear-mongering greenie is saying we've never seen flooding like we have in recent years... the report found the opposite.”

Even so, the number of people killed each year by natural disasters has declined by about 90%.

No Life on Earth Without Trees
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, including trees, use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen as a byproduct while producing the sugars they need to grow, essentially allowing them to "create" themselves and the oxygen we breathe in the atmosphere; this process is vital for life on Earth as we know it. Leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree. Trees also store carbon dioxide in their fibers. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, in a year ONE mature tree will absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange.

Unleashing the Potential of Carbon Capture and Removal by Monetizing CO2. What better way to monetize carbon capture than to burn the trees, which naturally capture carbon and store it as a tree, create more CO2 and then fund carbon capture projects with tax payer money and monetize the carbon.

Nature's Solar Energy
All organisms, animals and plants, must obtain energy to maintain basic biological functions for survival and reproduction.
Plants convert energy from sunlight into sugar. They use energy from light to convert water and carbon dioxide molecules into glucose (sugar molecule) and oxygen. The oxygen is released, or “exhaled”, from leaves while the energy contained within glucose molecules is used throughout the plant for growth, flower formation, and fruit development. There are several structures within a leaf of a tree that have important roles in the movement of nutrients and water throughout a plant. Each plant contains a branched system of tubes called xylem, which is responsible for water transport from the roots (where it is taken up) to the leaves (where it is used in photosynthesis). Water flows up from the roots, through the trunk and branches, to the leaves, where it is used in photosynthesis. Alongside xylem is another system of tubes called phloem, which transports the glucose formed in photosynthesis into the branches, fruit, trunk and roots of the tree.

Several of the
fires in California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho are forming
their own thunderstorms, with extreme and shifting winds at the surface, making it more difficult for firefighters to fight the flames. Fast-moving wildfires in California and Nevada left tens of thousands of people under mandatory evacuation orders, numerous structures threatened and air quality impacted Sunday, as a dangerous heat wave grips much of the Southwestern U.S. The big picture: Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo declared an emergency Sunday in response to the Davis Fire, south of Reno, where evacuation orders affected some 20,000 people. California Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed an emergency (Federal $$$) in San Bernardino County a day earlier over the Line Fire, where over 11,000 people were under evacuation orders. By the numbers: The uncontained Line Fire is one of seven large blazes in California and 67 large fires burning across the western U.S. as of Monday, according to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). Nevada is facing two large fires.

Hardline Propaganda to Fool the People: "Hallmarks of climate change seen in floods, fires and drought around the globe". The hallmarks of (Chicken Little) climate change — extreme heat and drought; larger, more intense wildfires and supercharged hurricanes, typhoons and rainstorms that lead to catastrophic flooding — are being seen and felt around the globe. In Peru, wildfires have left at least 15 people dead since July and 22 of the nation’s 24 regions have active outbreaks.
Peru’s National Forest and Wildlife Service, SERFOR, says the effects of (Chicken Little) climate change are intensifying conditions that help spread fire. In Brazil, flames were burning through Brasilia National Park. Firefighters across northern Portugal are working to contain some 100 wildfires caused by hot, dry conditions, stretching crews thin. Fires have forced residents to flee their homes and are blamed for the deaths of at least six people, including four firefighters. Drought in Brazil’s Pantanal region led on Monday to the lowest water levels on the Paraguay River in more than a century, disrupting commerce on the major waterway and creating hazards for local transport. Officials say water levels on the river dipped 89 centimeters (35 inches) below a benchmark at the port of Asunción, the capital, the lowest point in 120 years. Drought in Brazil. Wildfires in Portugal, Peru and the Western U.S. Severe flooding swamping Central Europe, Southeast Asia and Western Africa.

09/22/2024. A week of (Chicken Little) climate-related events coinciding with the U.N. General Assembly will allow supporters of the fight against
rising temperatures to rally their forces before November’s U.S. presidential election — which will be followed, days later, by the COP29 global climate summit in Azerbaijan. World leaders and business executives are flocking to New York City to make a case for bold efforts to expand clean energy and enhance climate aid for imperiled countries.
$$$ Amid the week’s confluence of closed-door meetings and public pronouncements about how countries and businesses plan to address global warming, supporters of the president's efforts intend to send his own message: The United States isn’t abandoning the climate cause, in large part because the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into the transition to clean energy. “I’m there to nudge our friends to do more, but also to reassure them that the IRA will not and cannot be repealed puts everybody in a position to support more ambitious” national climate plans at COP29.

United Nations adopts ground-breaking Pact for the Future to transform global governance. New York, 22 September 2024 – World leaders today adopted a Pact for the Future that includes a Global Digital Compact (Global Tyranny) and a Declaration on Future Generations. This Pact (Global Government) is the culmination of an inclusive, years-long process to adapt international cooperation to the realities of today and the challenges of tomorrow. The most wide-ranging international agreement in many years, covering entirely new areas as well as issues on which agreement has not been possible in decades, the Pact aims above all to ensure that international institutions can deliver in the face of a world that has changed dramatically since they were created. As the Secretary-General has said, “we cannot create a future fit for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents.” The Pact covers a broad range of issues including peace and security, sustainable development,
climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations, and the transformation of global governance.

This expansion to meet their objectives is labeled “
UN 2.0.” This
includes granting the secretary-general increased decision-making abilities and more authority during “public health emergencies.” According to the UN website:
Halfway through the 2030 Agenda, the world is not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It is not too late to change course, if we all rethink, refocus, and recharge. “UN 2.0” encapsulates the Secretary-General’s vision of a modern UN family, rejuvenated by a forward-thinking culture and empowered by cutting-edge skills for the twenty-first century — to turbocharge our support to people and planet.

UNITED NATIONS — Governments and dictators from around the world gathered in New York and adopted a sprawling agreement to expand and further empower the United Nations. The controversial declaration approved by the UN General Assembly, known as the “Pact for the Future,” is seen by the UN and its member governments as a great leap forward for the cause of globalism. In short, the UN is becoming “UN 2.0,” as top leaders of the organization put it. However, in the United States, at least, lawmakers, governors, and grassroots leaders are growing increasingly restless about what they perceive as a historic power grab, putting many attendees at the UN summit on edge. The final agreement adopted at the Summit for the Future formalized those ideas with the backing of virtually every national government and dictatorship on Earth. “We recognize that the multilateral system and its institutions, with the United Nations and its Charter at the center, must be strengthened to keep pace with a changing world,” reads the Pact for the Future, which was adopted by “consensus” featuring token opposition from a handful of governments. One of the major tools to help the UN “renew” trust in globalism is controlling information, as the pact makes clear. It calls on governments to “address” so-called “disinformation, misinformation, hate speech and content inciting harm, including content disseminated through digital platforms.” Of course, “hate speech” was a term introduced into the UN lexicon by the mass-murdering Soviet dictatorship to describe speech it hated. A key theme of the pact was reaffirming commitments to previous UN agreements and schemes such as the UN “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” a tool of tyrants aiming to replace the U.S. understanding of God-given unalienable rights with UN-granted revokable privileges. (The Pact gives the UN Secretary General absolute power.)

Deep State Puppets of the USA: SECRETARY OF STATE: Good afternoon. At this summit, The (Socialist/Marxist) UN Secretary-General and many world leaders have argued powerfully that to fulfill the crucial purpose of the United Nations, we urgently need support, reform, and revitalization. The United States fully agrees. That’s why
we joined fellow member states in shaping and committing to a broad range of priorities in the Pact for the Future; forging the Digital Global Compact; signing on to the Declaration on Future Generations;
enabling the United Nations and international institutions to better respond to shocks like pandemics and natural disasters, made more severe by frequent – by the climate crisis; addressing growing and diverse threats to international peace and security on land, the sea, the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace; ensuring that universal human rights are respected equally online and offline; empowering women and girls across the UN’s efforts; reforming the UN Security Council to better represent the developing world and, more broadly, the world as it is today.

Murder by State. Democide. In the 20th century, at least 170 million people — and perhaps as many as 360 million — have been murdered by their own governments. This is more than four times the approximately 42 million deaths from civil and international wars. When the state murders some of its general population, it is called democide; when it murders minorities, the term is genocide. Authoritarian states employ democide to maintain power. It is part of a broader program of state-approved terror designed to intimidate, demoralize or subjugate the citizenry.

Oregon, WildfireLeave a commenton Oregon forestry out of money after ‘
most expensive wildfire season’ in history
Wildfires have so far burned nearly 2 million acres of land throughout
Oregon this year, the highest annual burned acreage the state’s department of forestry has ever seen and nearly double the 1.1 million acres burned during the notorious 2020 wildfire season. ODF is asking the state’s Emergency Board, which allocates additional funding outside of legislative sessions, for $40 million from its general fund.

Canadian provinces break wildfire emissions records as smoke reaches Europe. (See Map, https://i0.wp.com/wildfiretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/cams_aod550_an_natlantic_202408.gif?resize=768%2C681&ssl=1) Hazy sunsets across Europe have record-breaking wildfires burning in Western Canada to blame, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). Wildfire smoke from Canada has been crossing the North Atlantic since Aug. 10 and reached Western Europe on Aug. 17, resulting in high levels of particulate matter and aerosols like smoke particles in Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, and Scandinavia. “Evaluation of the CAMS forecasts against independent Aeronet measurements shows good agreement in the timing and magnitude of the [aerosol optical depth] evaluations at several sites, including Cork in Ireland, Camborne in the United Kingdom, and Brest and Arcachon in France.” The Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba recorded their highest wildfire carbon emissions for any August ever in the service’s Global Fire Assimilation System. 2024 is already one of the most extreme years of the last two decades for Canada and is set to be second only to 2023 in terms of emissions,” CAMS researchers said. “The total estimated wildfire carbon emissions in Northwest Territories from 1 January to 19 August exceed 70 megatons and are only behind 2023 and 2014 in terms of the annual total fire emissions for the territory. https://wildfiretoday.com/2024/08/21/canadia-breaks-wildfire-emissions-records-smoke-reaches-europe/
Canadian wildfires in 2023 pumped more heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air than India did by burning fossil fuels, setting ablaze an area of forest larger than West Virginia. Scientists at the World Resources Institute and the University of Maryland calculated how devastating the impacts were of the months-long fires in Canada in 2023 that
sullied the air around large parts of the globe, turning some skies a vivid orange. They figured it
put 3.28 billion tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air. The fire spewed nearly
four times the carbon emissions as airplanes do in a year, study authors said. It's about the
same amount of carbon dioxide that 647 million cars put in the air in a year, based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data.

The Trudeau government of Canada has decided that climate alarmism should be at top of mind. To that end, they recently announced $3.3 million in public spending to help educate (indoctrinate) 300,000 children aged six to 12 about climate change and spur them into climate activism. They are intent on raising, it seems, an army of little Thunbergs. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/trudeau-government-spends-billions-on-unnecessary-climate-war
Last year’s
Canadian wildfires, which blanketed much of the eastern U.S. in smog,
released more carbon emissions than all but three countries worldwide. Not only did the fires burn nearly 4 percent of the country’s forests, but they also
generated 647 million metric tons in carbon emissions, quadruple that of the emissions from fossil fuel consumption the same year.

Self Proclaimed Scientist calls for Americans to cut off air conditioning in summer, claiming it causes global warming. Climate scientist Stan Cox has also claimed the U.S. military is an 'enemy' when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions. Stan Cox is an Ecosphere Fellow at the Land Institute who also believes the U.S. military is an "enemy" to mitigating (Chicken Little) climate change.

Wildfire Smoke and Particulates are Killing Americans! Global Arson is Being Misused, among other reasons, to "Prove" Man Made Climate Change. These wildfires must be stopped before any global tax thief can claim that America must reduce use of gasoline products and pay into NGOs that are really just the pockets of Global Elitists and the Deep State. Such reduction of the powerhouse is a subversive action designed to weaken the American economy, starve out the people through inflation, steal their property, and advocate fear that survival comes through government handouts of the taxpayers' own money, causing a clamor for socialism and the tyranny that goes with it. Forest fires pose significant threats to both local communities and the environment.

Totalitarian Chicken Little Climate Communism: Degrowth holds that there will always be a correlation between economic output and carbon emissions, so the best way to fight chicken little climate change is for wealthy nations to cut back on consumption and reduce the “material throughput” that creates demand for energy and drives GDP. The degrowth movement has swelled in recent years, particularly in Europe and in academic circles. The theory has dramatic implications. Instead of finding carbon-neutral ways to power our luxurious modern lifestyles, degrowth would require us to surrender some material comforts. One leading proponent suggests imposing a hard cap on total national energy use, which would ratchet down every year. Energy-intensive activities might be banned outright or taxed to near oblivion. (Say goodbye, perhaps, to hamburgers, SUVs, and your annual cross-country flight home for the holidays.) You’d probably be prohibited from setting the thermostat too cold in summer or too warm in winter. To keep frivolous spending down, the government might decide which products are “wasteful” and ban advertising for them.

As evidence discredits global warming, resistance to such facts by green elites reveals
their real aim is bringing
socialism in through the back door. But don't take our word for it. Listen to the climate change boss at the U.N. Global warming alarmists "want to change us, they want to change our behavior, our way of life, our values and preferences," according to a man who knows a thing or two about communist regimes, former Czech President Vaclav Klaus. In a speech to Australia's Institute of Public Affairs in 2011, he stressed: "They want to restrict our freedom because they themselves believe they know what is good for us. They are not interested in climate. They misuse the climate in their goal to restrict our freedom. Therefore, what is in danger is freedom, not the climate."

UN Calls For Businesses To Be Liable For Climate Denial And ‘Misinformation’; calls for countries to impose stricter legal penalties on businesses for contributing to climate change, including legal liability for “misinformation” relating to climate change and a ban of advertising by fossil fuel companies. This should alarm businesses as it seeks to create a clear legal liability for business owners. The result could be class action style lawsuits, like those against the tobacco industry. Additionally, it seeks to create a pathway for international litigation, allowing legal action to originate in countries where the business may have no presence. Additionally, freedom of speech advocates will take issue with the concept of misinformation

Climate Groups Demand Banks Stop Funding “Industrial Livestock Production.” More than 100 climate zealot groups have sent
a letter to major U.S. banks insisting that they immediately cease funding “industrial livestock production,” which they claim contributes greatly to the alleged climate crisis. Among the banks targeted with the
doomsday propaganda were Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase, with they refer to as “the Big 3.” The 105 groups are gathered under the umbrella organization “Friends of the Earth.” Among the groups listed in the Friends of the Earth document are the Center for Biological Diversity, Greenpeace, and the Churchill Fellowship. The letter claims that the banks will never meet their climate commitments unless they immediately stop funding the agriculture industry, which they claim “accelerates climate change, drives catastrophic biodiversity loss, exacerbates food insecurity, and damages animal welfare and human rights.” “Industrial livestock companies are incompatible with a safe future for our planet, so it is time for banks and investors to turn off the taps and stop providing the finance that is enabling them to grow,” said Martin Bowman of Feedback Global, one of the groups listed. “Industrial livestock production is one of the most destructive activities for our planet. By continuing to finance meat, dairy, and feed corporations, banks are complicit in driving climate change and environmental degradation, undermining their own climate commitments. Halting all new financing that enables the expansion of industrial livestock production is one of the most climate-positive actions banks can take,” according to Monique Mikhail, Agriculture & Climate Finance Campaigns Director with Friends of the Earth U.S. “By financing the world’s largest meat, dairy, and feed corporations, global banks are prioritizing corporate gain at the expense of people and the planet,” the letter states. The climate zealots issue demands as if they’re kidnappers and the banks better pay up or risk the consequences.

NASA artfully reveals that the atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased, without pointing to the burning of fossil fuels; only "human activity." "Most of the warming occurred in the past 40 years, with the seven most recent years being the warmest. The years 2016 and 2020 are tied for the warmest year on record". Thus they claim that "The Evidence for Rapid Climate Change Is Compelling." Not a word is mentioned about manmade wildfires started by arson between 2016 and 2020, and continuing to this day. Clearly this is a deliberate CYA con job!!! https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/evidence/
The carbon cycle is the process through which carbon is cycled through the air, ground, plants, animals, and fossil fuels. People and animals inhale oxygen from the air and exhale carbon dioxide (CO2), while plants absorb CO2 for photosynthesis and emit oxygen back into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also exchanged between the atmosphere and the oceans. This natural system of processes keeps CO2 levels in the atmosphere stable over time. https://netl.doe.gov/carbon-management/carbon-storage/faqs/carbon-dioxide-101

Wildfires are from arson and other human activity. The chicken little climate emergency alarmists have seized upon this to start fires which, in turn, make the worldwide temperatures rise, warm the oceans, create floods, drought and hurricanes, and poison the population, making the unintelligent believe in a fossil fuel problem causing man made climate change. Scientists, including those at the World Resources Institute, have been increasingly sounding the alarm about this feedback loop. https://calmatters.org/environment/2023/09/california-wildfire-smoke-climate-change

Hydrogen Cyanide: The Real Killer Among Fire Gases. Smoke that is present during a structure fire is composed of several irritating, toxic and asphyxiant chemicals, depending on the materials that are burning. These chemicals may include hydrochloric acid, ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide. According the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), smoke is the killer in 60% to 80% of all fire deaths. Recent research has revealed that hydrogen cyanide present in smoke generated at building fires may play a more significant role in injuries and deaths of firefighters and civilians than once thought. https://www.firehouse.com/rescue/article/10502165/hydrogen-cyanide-the-real-killer-among-fire-gases
The majority of fire-related deaths are caused by smoke inhalation of the toxic gases produced by fires. https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=fire-safety-and-burns-injury-statistics-and-incidence-rates-90-P02978#:~:text=Injury%20and%20death%20rates%3A,toxic%20gases%20produced%20by%20fires.

The oceans are extremely warm right now. Worldwide, average ocean temperatures were in record-breaking territory for 15 months straight since last April. That’s bad news on multiple fronts. Abnormally hot ocean water helps fuel dangerous hurricanes, like Hurricane Ernesto, which is expected to rapidly gain strength this week in the Atlantic, and like Hurricane Debby, which dumped massive amounts of rain along the East Coast of the U.S. last week. And when the water gets too hot, fish and other marine species also struggle to survive. For example, the ocean water near Florida is so warm that it’s threatening coral reefs. Humans continue to burn forests that release heat-trapping gasses into the atmosphere, and most of that extra heat is absorbed by the oceans. Ocean temperatures have been steadily rising for decades. The cyclic hot weather pattern El Niño is also partly to blame. When El Niño is happening, there’s warmer water in part of the Pacific, and that generally means the weather is slightly warmer overall. In 2023 and the first part of 2024, El Niño was happening and it caused global average temperatures to rise, including in the oceans. https://www.npr.org/2024/08/14/nx-s1-5051849/hot-oceans-climate-science
What's being done about the increase in flood events in Vermont? As Earth heats up due to the increasing amount of heat-trapping gases in its atmosphere (from wildfire smoke and heat), the warmer air can hold more moisture. For every degree of warming, air can hold 4% more water vapor. This boosts the water cycle, which leads to more extreme rainfall events. https://www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/vermont-flooding-climate-change-causes/

A buildup of flammable plant materials across large areas of the forest landscape is used by arsonists. As forest fuels accumulate, the forest structure changes, leading to greater continuity of fuels between the ground surface and the upper tree canopies. This altered structure provides “ladders” for wildfire to climb up into the tree tops. Where trees are densely packed, the fire can spread from tree to tree. Weather and an abundance of forest floor material. https://www.fs.usda.gov/projects-policies/hfi/docs/forest_structure_wildfire.pdf
“We have seen an increasing trend in the past 20 years of days when high levels of both particulate matter and ozone are occurring simultaneously...This is tied to two things: more wildfires and increases in the types of weather patterns that cause both wildfires and hot weather.” Co-occurring events were defined as days that registered in both the top 10 percent in particulate matter levels and the top 10 percent in ozone. The researchers found that annual population exposure to these extreme combined episodes is increasing by approximately 25 million person-days a year, a figure that counts both the number of people affected and the number of days they were impacted by air pollution. https://cires.colorado.edu/news/air-pollution-wildfires-rising-heat-affected-two-thirds-us-west
Humans cause nearly 90% of wildfires in the United states via discarded cigarettes, unattended campfires, burning debris, or through equipment malfunctions. Although less common, wildfires can also occur though non-human phenomena, such as lightning strikes and volcanic eruptions. https://wfca.com/wildfire-articles/what-causes-wildfires/#:~:text=Humans%20cause%20nearly%2090%25%20of,lightning%20strikes%20and%20volcanic%20eruptions.
According to the National Park Service, human-caused wildfires account for around 80 to 90 percent of all reported wildfires. https://www.greenmatters.com/p/what-causes-wildfires
Wildfires can affect the physical, chemical, and biological quality of streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. These changes are noticeable for years and even decades after a fire. The first and greatest impact of wildfires is a significant increase in storm water runoff. With the loss of vegetation during a wildfire, the soil becomes hydrophobic (tending to repel or failing to mix with water). Under normal conditions, plant life slows precipitation down once it hits the landscape and lets it gradually seep into the ground. After a fire, foliage-free soil doesn’t absorb water easily. These burn scars increase runoff and provide a pathway for the transport of debris and sediment to rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations from burned foliage run into the water and lead to algal blooms resulting in fluctuations in oxygen or oxygen depletion in downstream waterbodies. Lastly, post-fire flash floods introduce high levels of heavy metals from ash, soils, and geologic sources into waterways. Wildfires can compromise water quality both during active burning, and for months and years after the fire has been contained. https://deq.utah.gov/communication/news/wildfires-impact-on-our-environment#:~:text=Wildfires%20can%20affect%20the%20physical,significant%20increase%20in%20stormwater%20runoff.

The Cool Down (TCD) is a "pay to play" climate propaganda saturation content company on a mission to scare Americans over a fossil fuel driven climate crisis. TCD builds scare about climate storytelling on the web and social media. Founded by Bleacher Report co-founder Dave Finocchio and former ABC News executive Anna Robertson, TCD is aiming to become America’s first mainstream climate brand. TCD features climate "innovation", heroes, advice, and sustainable product guides. TCD’s content team focuses on climate storytelling - climate innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable (non innovative) trends and products. If you have a great story about a climate hero, whether it’s your neighbor, a scientist, or an executive, "drop us a line" they say. And if you have a great sustainable product or solution you’d like us to feature, reach out to our team. The articles from the TCD source have an agenda to promote the scary belief that there is a climate crisis as a result of the use of fossil fuels (target of the totalitarian Deep State and the greatest benefit to the US economy!) https://muckrack.com/media-outlet/thecooldowngreenhome

With arsonists to blame, you can't blame so-called climate change for wildfires. It's a reversal of cause and effect commonly used by totalitarian propagandists. Poor management of forest floor debris, combined with intentionally set forest fires, CAUSE massive out of control wildfires, heat and smoke particulates, creating an increase in the heat dome over the United States. This helps to artificially prove climate change but in reality, it is devastating and killing 100 million Americans with the smoke and heat. However, if you are devious and evil, like the Deep State, you can fool the people into believing in man made climate change with the heat and poor air quality of wildfire smoke they breathe and feel, blaming it on fossil fuel use instead of the ARSON the Deep State is using to start the fires!!! Simply reverse stated cause and effect and fool the dumb people who are too dumb to know they are dumb!!! Look at the wildfires in Athens Greece and worldwide.

Wildfire Smoke and Air Quality.
The gases emitted by wildfires, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, contribute to air pollution and climate change. Wildfire smoke can also contain volatile organic compounds, which are chemicals that can have both short-term and long-term health effects. These chemicals can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, while others can cause more serious health problems, including damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Wildfire smoke has a significant impact on air quality, posing risks to both human health and the environment. In the event of a wildfire in your vicinity, it is likely you will be advised to stay indoors to avoid exposure to smoke. However, smoke can also enter the home and affect indoor air quality. Wildfire smoke contains harmful pollutants, such as particulate matter. Particulate matter poses a significant health risk as these fine particles can easily enter the respiratory system, causing respiratory issues, aggravating existing conditions like asthma, and increasing the risk of heart and lung diseases. The combination of pollutants in the air reduces air quality, making it unsafe to breathe for extended periods. https://wfca.com/wildfire-articles/wildfires-atmosphere/#:~:text=The%20Science%20of%20Wildfire%20Smoke,-Wildfire%20smoke%20is&text=The%20gases%20emitted%20by%20wildfires,atmosphere%2C%20leading%20to%20global%20warming.
Wildfire smoke is a mixture of hazardous air pollutants, such PM2.5, NO2, ozone, aromatic hydrocarbons, or lead. In addition to contaminating the air with toxic pollutants, wildfires also simultaneously impact the weather by releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. https://www.who.int/health-topics/wildfires#tab=tab_1
Beyond the human and societal impacts, wildfires also affect the Earth's weather. Forests in particular store large amounts of carbon. When they burn, they immediately release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which in turn contributes to climate change. https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-wildfires#:~:text=Beyond%20the%20human%20and%20societal,turn%20contributes%20to%20climate%20change.

Corruptly influencing the courts': Climate justice group that trains federal judges under scrutiny. The new report released by the American Energy Institute (AEI) alleges that the Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) is "falsely portraying itself as a neutral entity teaching judges about questionable climate science." The report also alleges that CJP is a partner to more than two dozen public plaintiffs suing energy providers to hold them liable for damages resulting from climate change effects. To date, CJP has trained more than 2,000 state and federal judges, the report says. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/corruptly-influencing-courts-climate-justice-group-trains-federal-judges-under-scrutiny

"Follow the (Climate Change) Money: Worldwide the numbers are gargantuan. Five years ago, a leftist group called the Climate Policy Initiative issued a study which found that “Global investment in climate change” reached $359 billion that year. Then to give you a sense of how money-hungry these planet-saviors are, the CPI moaned that this spending “falls far short of what’s needed” a number estimated at $5 trillion. Really? The greatest minds of the world entrusted with hundreds of billions of dollars can only come up with a solution that would entail the largest government power grab in world history, shutting down industrial production (just look at the catastrophe in Germany when they went all in for green energy), and throwing perhaps billions of human beings into poverty?

09/19/2024. The Department of the Interior today announced nearly $1.3 million in awards through a pilot program to strengthen local governments’ wildfire response by converting vehicles to wildland fire engines. Authorized by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Slip-on Tanker Pilot Program is helping small, remote emergency response agencies quickly expand their wildfire response capacity as they continue to face the devastating impacts of climate change, drought and intensifying wildfires.
$$$ The funding announced today was awarded to 21 local emergency response agencies in 10 states. The recipients serve communities with a moderate to high wildfire risk, as determined by the Wildfire Risk to Communities tool. Local governments that provide emergency services to areas with a population of 25,000 or less are eligible to receive grants ranging from $10,000 to $200,000. The funding announced today is part of nearly $1.1 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding allocated by Interior since the law’s enactment to address wildfire risk on public and Tribal lands and to better support federal wildland firefighters. A second round of grant opportunities will be announced this fall.

A growing body of scientific evidence links wildfire smoke exposure to various health effects. There is evidence of an
increase in the risk of both cardiovascular and respiratory-related effects in response to wildfire smoke exposure, particularly as the intensity of wildfire smoke increases. https://www.epa.gov/wildfire-smoke-course/why-wildfire-smoke-health-concern
Exposure to smoke can also increase your risk for long-term (chronic) health effects. People who live in areas with higher fine particulate air pollution and those who breathe air containing fine particles over long periods have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Frequent exposure to smoke even for brief periods can also increase your risk for long-term health effects https://www.health.ny.gov/environmental/outdoors/air/smoke_from_fire.htm#:~:text=Inhaling%20smoke%20for%20a%20short,have%20changes%20in%20heart%20function.

Wildfire smoke exposure can affect you whether you're near a blaze, or if the winds spread smoke hundreds of miles away. Certain pollutants impact human health. These include ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Wildfires create massive amounts of particle pollution or particulate matter (PM). PM refers to the size of the particles. PM2.5 and PM10 are two types of PM that wildfires can create that are small enough for you to inhale. They can get into your eyes, too. PM2.5 means the particles are 2.5 microns or smaller; PM10 means they're smaller than 10 microns. Wildfire smoke is especially dangerous because it can create ultrafine particles smaller than 0.1 micron which can go deep into your lungs and into your bloodstream. As a comparison, a human hair is 70 microns across. It can also raise your risk for premature death. These are some of the biggest risks from wildfire smoke. https://www.webmd.com/lung/health-effects-wildfire-smoke

If you’re unfortunate enough to breathe wildfire smoke, you’re getting a lungful of charred plant material, noxious gases, and—if the fire tore through human structures—incinerated synthetic materials. All across the board, it’s bad stuff, proven to be a severe detriment to human health, particularly for those with respiratory conditions like asthma. And not to pile on the worries, but that haze also turns out to be loaded with microbes like bacteria and fungi. https://www.wired.com/story/wildfire-smoke-is-loaded-with-microbes-is-that-dangerous/
Not only are wildfires happening every summer, but they’re also happening multiple times every summer. These kinds of repeated exposure scenarios are what may lead to diseases like cancer. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling pathway: Dysfunction of this pathway is one of the main cascading events that leads to the development and progression of lymphoma. https://health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/exploring-the-link-between-wildfire-smoke-and-cancer-risk/2022/08

Wildfire smoke from Canada has clouded much of the Northeast, leaving millions of Americans exposed to unhealthy levels of particulate matter. Particulate matter (PM) is made up of tiny pieces of solid or liquid in the air including dust, dirt, soot and smoke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Inhaled particles are typically categorized into two groups: PM10 and PM2.5 – the number representing the size across the particle in micrometers. These particles are invisible to the human eye. The diameter of a human hair is almost 30 times larger than one of these smaller particles. While larger particles may irritate your eyes, nose and throat, smaller particles pose an even greater threat. They can seep deep into your lungs or even your blood and cause long-term damage. If you're elderly, you can get more strokes and heart attacks. Over time, it can lead to increased cancer. Some of the immediate effects include coughing, trouble breathing, a scratchy throat and chest pain, according to the CDC. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/dangers-inhaling-wildfire-smoke/story?id=99934833

In a study published in June 2022, Heaney et al found that “smoke event” days — those with the highest amounts of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) from wildfires — were linked to increases in unscheduled hospital visits in California for all respiratory diseases (3.3%; 95% CI, 0.4%-6.3%) as well as asthma specifically (10.3%; 95% CI, 2.3%-19.0%), with the largest effect observed among children ages 0 to 5 years with asthma. A 2018 study analyzed data pertaining to 21,353 inpatient hospitalizations, 25,922 ED presentations, and 297,698 outpatient visits during periods of heightened smoke exposure from the 2007 San Diego wildfires. Several studies have investigated the health effects of wildfire smoke and have linked smoke exposure to respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and birth outcomes such as preterm birth and low birth weight. https://wildfiretoday.com/2022/10/31/wildfire-smoke-alters-immune-cells-promoting-inflammation/

The UK Lacks Subject Matter Jursidiction: The power of a court to hear and decide a particular type of case or matter. Typically, subject matter jurisdiction derives from a federal or state constitution, and the specific parameters of a court's subject matter jurisdiction are defined by the federal or state legislature. State court subject matter jurisdiction includes the civil and criminal laws enacted by a court's own state. State courts can also hear some cases that arise under federal law, unless Congress has reserved exclusive subject matter jurisdiction to the federal courts. For example, patent disputes and federal immigration violations can be heard only in federal courts. State laws often limit the subject matter jurisdiction of certain state courts. Small claims courts are a good example. They have subject matter jurisdiction only when a relatively low amount of money is in dispute—usually in the range of $2,000 to $10,000. Federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction over civil and criminal laws enacted by Congress. Federal courts can also hear cases involving state laws in some circumstances. For instance, if a state law is challenged on the ground that it violates the U.S. Constitution, a federal court can decide that case. If parties from different states have a case that involves state law, a federal court can hear the case if the amount in dispute is more than $75,000. Parties can't consent to subject matter jurisdiction. If subject matter jurisdiction doesn't exist, a court has no choice but to dismiss the case. https://www.nolo.com/dictionary/subject-matter-jurisdiction.html
The Supreme Court has consistently rejected the claim defining “hate speech” as “Speech not protected by the First Amendment, because it is intended to foster hatred against individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, sexual preference, place of national origin, or other improper classification.” For example, in the 2016 Matal v. Tam decision, the court stressed that this precise position “strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate.'” https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/4820490-harris-walz-administration-free-speech/

Smoke from wildfires in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest August 28, 2024 was causing people in the region to cough, burning their throats and reddening their eyes. Large swaths of the country have been draped in smoke, resulting from fires raging across the Amazon, Cerrado savannah, Pantanal wetland and the state of Sao Paulo. Residents are feeling the sting, including Fátima Silva, a 60-year-old farmer in the Amazonian town of Labrea: “I am not well. I am feeling short of breath, my throat hurts, my eyes need eye drops, I can’t go out on the street, I can’t go anywhere because everything is white with smoke." Her grandchildren are coughing so much they can hardly sleep. “My grandchildren, my children, everyone is getting sick. Today it got even worse. No one can stand it.” In the Amazon, there have been 53,620 fire spots between Jan. 1 and Aug. 27, an 83% increase from the same period last year. “It’s not normal. I’ve lived here for 40 years. We didn’t have this before,” said another resident

Potential Remedial Measures
Video: Laser Weapons. These impressive air, sea and ground mounted lasers can be used to start wildfires in complete secret. They can also be used to put them out by encircling the wildfire with forest area that is burned by the laser creating a buffer zone that will cause the fire to eventually burn itself out rather than continue to spread

Sweden Dropped a Laser-Guided Bomb on a Forest Fire. The Swedish Air Force has declared war on a new, homegrown enemy: forest fires. Sweden dispatched two Gripen fighters to bomb forest fires, snuffing out flames with blast waves. As weird as it sounds, it actually works, and you’ve probably done something like it yourself. Scientists describe the effect is described as similar to blowing out candles on a birthday cake. The Swedish Air Force launched a flight of Gripen fighter bombers loaded with GBU-49 laser guided bombs. The Gripens dropped one bomb at an altitude of 9,800 feet. The bomb exploded on target, extinguishing flames up to 100 yards from the impact point. How does it work? A sudden change of pressure will blow the flames of a fire off its fuel source, in this case burning trees, brush, and undergrowth. The same thing happens when you blow out the candles on a birthday cake, separating the flames of the candle from the wick. Engineers use the same principle, utilizing explosive charges, to extinguish fires at oil wells. Here’s a video of the bombing.

Wildfires spread as long as burnable organic matters fuel them, such as grasses and trees. When there is nothing more to burn, fires will put out naturally. Here, I would propose to fight “fire by fire” or by Laser using specific Laser devices to immediately and punctually carbonize a narrow zone in front of crawling wildfires to create a protective area that will stop fires from further propagation when the fire reaches the Laser-carbonized zone. Empirical studies will be required to determine the best conditions of Laser intensity, wavelength, and period of Laser irradiation that would be required to only carbonize organic matters in narrow targeted zone without spreading fire further.
