It's the height of hurricane season, and yet there's nothing, right?

No, there's not a single hurricane this year in the Atlantic so far.

I do think that we will eventually get one or two this season.

The last week of September into the first half of October looks to be a little bit of a favorable window for development, especially in the Gulf and as well as in the Caribbean.

But it's very possible that we could go the entire hurricane season without any hurricanes, and that has not happened since 1914.

It also happened in 1907.

However, it's possible that there were hurricanes during those two seasons, but we didn't have satellites, obviously, monitoring the entire basin.

They don't even believe what they're selling, do they?

What's behind the reason if scientifically it's irrelevant? Why are we spending all this money?

Well, the thing is, is back in the 1980s, the global warming, you know, at first there was the ice age scare, right, in the 1960s and 70s.

And then, yeah, the global warming thing came along in the 1980s.

And now, as I mentioned previously, there is a scientific basis.

to global warming theory itself with co2 being a greenhouse gas but there's so many other actors that they ignore that can mask that effect uh you know again hinges in cloud cover but back in the 1980s the united nations their environment program um they wanted to regulate energy companies because the united nations globalism they want a you know kind of worldwide single world governance that's kind of their goal And so they hate energy companies.

They hate any big industry, but especially the oil companies and natural gas companies, the fossil fuel industry.

They had already had a goal to eliminate fossil fuels.

So is the Colorado River system now an example of man-made global warming?

It's not worse, is it?

Definitely not.

By almost every metric, the weather has gotten better over the last 50 to 100 years.

The number of strong to violent tornadoes in the United States across the entire country, we're talking EF2, 3, 4, and 5, they have decreased in frequency by about 50%.

since 1954, when real-time observations began.

Wildfire burn acreage has declined by about 90% since 1926.

Now, a lot of that has to do with fire suppression, but still, it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

People are, sadly, lazy, aren't they?

I'd rather have coal plants burning in the United States than in China because they don't have those kinds of standards.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, we, we need to use energy that's efficient and affordable, and, and coal and natural gas are right there at the top.

And, um, you know, and, and I've always been a person that, you know, that has said that I'm all for alternat- alt- alternatives, but they have to be sustainable, and that's not what wind and solar are.

Maybe locally with solar on your own house and if you live in, like, Las Vegas, but that's not gonna power civilization.

And, and coal is great because it can be, you know, uh, especially for emergency situations.

You know, you can have, you can have a stockpile of it.

Um, are there comments on that?"

I am not a climate change denier." What are you?

Well, Michael, I consider myself to be a lukewarmer, and that's somewhere between a climate, uh, alarmist and someone who is a quote-unquote denier.

Um, so I'm kind of-- I'm of the position that climate change, global warming, it's real, and there is an anthropogenic element to it to some extent.

But this idea that we are facing a climate crisis is just simply scientifically unsupportable by any relevant data metric.

So basically, we know from instrumental temperature data that's aggregated and, and into area-weighted averaging and-- and obviously there's a lot of uncertainty as to precisely how much.

Uh, there's about a thirty percent di-divergence in the datasets that we have of instrumental surface temperature data.

But the planet has warmed by about a degree Celsius, one point two degree Celsius since eighteen fifty.

I had to cut you off, so go ahead.

I would love for you to speak to that.

Yeah.

So this goes to the this is actually something I posted this morning on Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it.

And.

When we're talking about carbon dioxide, now let's just hypothetically, and again, this is not what I think.

This is just simply, we're just going to play devil's advocate here for those listening.

If carbon dioxide, you know, obviously, and I agree, it's a greenhouse gas.

So this strikes me to be an issue far bigger than perhaps we're giving it the attention that it deserves.
