![ChrisMartzWX's tweet photo. There is NO climate crisis.
There is NO climate emergency.
Climate alarmists' fixation on metrics like the global average surface temperature has absolutely nothing to do with hard scientific evidence. It's just about keeping you worried. A compliant population is easier to control.
Sure, you can take temperature measurements at two meters above the ground from locations all around the globe and average them together, then plot a scary line graph to convince people that we are going to boil alive if we don't pay carbon taxes, buy carbon credits, and eat bugs for dinner. But averages are nothing but a mathematical construct; they aren't a physical measure of anything.
Temperature varies significantly from one location to another. In the Arctic, it's 40 below zero. In the desert during summer, we're talking triple-digit numbers. But nobody feels the global average. What's more, a global mean surface temperature isn't even a useful metric scientifically. If you want a true measure of the heat content of the climate system to estimate the climate sensitivity, use ocean heat content or the bulk atmospheric temperatures.
But because temperature is a simple enough metric most people understand, using a simple global mean and indoctrinating the youth into thinking Earth is a fragile object is good enough to convince the masses into thinking that even a slight increase in the average surface temperature of the planet over 175 years will cause the Earth system to collapse.
The climate crisis doesn't exist in any relevant real-world data. So, academics and politicians keep you distracted by fixating on a metric that really has nothing to do with the quality of life on Earth. Here are some data that tell the full story.

The reason for this is because of fossil fuels, which have improved our standard of living in a number of ways, including:
💡 Producing the electricity supplied to our homes to keep our lights on, HVAC working and our other home appliances functioning.
🍳 Supply the electricity and/or gas to power stoves, ovens and microwaves to cook our food and reduce personal risk of becoming infected and/or falling ill to foodborne pathogens.
💊 Improving public health by facilitating a hygienic sewage treatment system, a clean running water supply and enabling scientists / engineers to develop life-saving medications, vaccines and various surgical procedures that would otherwise not exist.
⛽️ Powering vehicles, aircraft and other modes of transportation which make it easier for people to get access to better healthcare, better education and countless other essential services.

We are routinely told that “extreme heat is the number one weather-related killer.” We are also told that as the planet warms, more and more people are going to be killed from extreme temperatures.
But, it turns out that extreme heat is humans' 𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌 in most geographical regions.
🥵 From 2000-2019, 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕 was linked to an average of 153,078 excess deaths (e.g., hyperthermia or heatstroke) per year globally.
🥶 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅, conversely, was linked to 205,932 excess deaths (e.g., hypothermia) per year globally. So, that's 1.3× as many fatalities than those caused by extreme heat exposure.
Thus, in the grand scheme of things, direct exposure to extreme outdoor air temperature kills surprisingly few numbers of people per year globally.

Much larger health risks are associated with moderate heat and cold exposure, however.
♨️ 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕 was ascribed to 335,997 excess deaths (e.g., dehydration or electrolyte imbalance) per year, on average, globally from 2000-19. That is 2.19× as many deaths than the number caused by extreme heat.
🧥 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅 is humans' highest temperature risk. From 2000-19, it was linked to nearly 4.4 million excess deaths (e.g., constriction of blood vessels to maintain a stable core body temperature) per year, on average, globally. That's 28.6× as many deaths than are caused by extreme heat exposure.
By region, extreme heat is the 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌 on 4 of the 6 permanently inhabited continents (e.g., Zhao et al., 2024). Versus extreme cold, extreme heat kills, on an annual average,

But, what about increased risk with warming? 🤔
It holds true that with warming, there is an increased heat-related mortality rate, and the number of cold weather-related deaths concurrently decrease. This trend has already been observed.
🥵 On average, ~116,000 more people die per year from 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕 exposure today than they did in the year 2000.
🥶 On average, ~283,000 𝒇𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒓 people die per year from 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅 exposure today than in 2000.
But, as we can see with the figures above, the number of deaths from exposure to cold air decrease at a faster pace than the number of deaths from exposure to hot air increase.

WORLDLING: One who seeks only pleasure, ease, honor or profit is a worldling, he lives only for this life. He becomes a slave of his earthly desires, so that he cannot even think of God. He will believe in Heaven too late–when he finds it’s gates forever closed to him.
When the entire system demanded compliance... Aaron, Novak and Kyrie refused to kneel to 'Dr. Fauci.' They lost games, endorsements, and public favor—yet never lost their backbone.
That’s the kind of example kids actually need: men who choose conviction over the easy path.
Truth
We don’t know when but one day, we will wake up to our last morning.
It is imperative that we remember this so that we do not go about the day enslaved to the random movements of our heart.
The devil will bait you. He wants you to react instead of respond, to chase the shiny things, and to save all of your passion for earthly things that will pass.
Not today. Today you rise anew, embracing the truth that you were not made for the petty or the transitory; You were made for heaven.
Pray for the grace to live this truth well.

What an appalling speech the Mayor of New York delivered for the 250th anniversary of the nation.
Sadly, it reflects the view of America propagated for years by Howard Zinn and his like-minded colleagues in the universities and believed by armies of the young: a dark, oppressive country where common people are denigrated by tyrants and oligarchs, where immigrants are treated with contempt, where those with “soft hands” hold the wealth created by those with dirty hands.

🚨 Actor David Spade raising awareness that a bill was introduced in California to audit where the $20+ billion dollars in missing homeless money went, it passed but then Gavin Newsom VETOED the bill to block the investigation
Yes, this really happened. He blocked bills for an audit MULTIPLE TIMES
Bipartisan bill AB 2903 (unanimous passed 72-0 in the Assembly, 40-0 in the Senate) would’ve forced annual public reports on where the money went
Newsom vetoed it.
Gavin Newsom also vetoed similar bills AB 2570 and AB 2093
“The same broader problem with people paying taxes in California — The homeless, they lose $20 billion, but they want more money for it. That's why people get tired of paying taxes and going, what are you doing? Gavin Newsom just vetoed a bill asking for an audit of where the money for homeless goes. He said, not a chance. You're not gonna see that. That's the problem.”
What's your response to this......??👀

Activist: "Every time a cow breathes out it's contributing to climate change."
Farmer: "That's not quite how it works."
Activist: "Cows emit CO2 when they breathe."
Farmer: "So do you."
Activist: "Not at the same volume."
Farmer: "The CO2 a cow breathes out came from the grass it ate, which came from the atmosphere."
Activist: "It's still adding to the carbon in the air."
Farmer: "It's returning carbon that was already in the air. Via the grass. That's a cycle."
Activist: "Cycles still add up."
Farmer: "A closed cycle doesn't add up. It goes around."
Activist: "You're being evasive."
Farmer: "I'm describing photosynthesis and respiration."
Activist: "In a way that conveniently excuses your cattle."
Farmer: "In a way that's accurate. The inconvenience is coincidental."
Activist: "I'll look it up."
Farmer: "You'll find it under GCSE Biology. Chapter three, roughly."
Protestants go to chuch to see what they can get out of it. One likes the message, another the music, and others the pastor.
Catholics go to Mass to Worship Jesus Christ and receive Him in the Eucharist.
BE CATHOLIC.

There is NO climate crisis.
There is NO climate emergency.
Climate alarmists' fixation on metrics like the global average surface temperature has absolutely nothing to do with hard scientific evidence. It's just about keeping you worried. A compliant population is easier to control.
Sure, you can take temperature measurements at two meters above the ground from locations all around the globe and average them together, then plot a scary line graph to convince people that we are going to boil alive if we don't pay carbon taxes, buy carbon credits, and eat bugs for dinner. But averages are nothing but a mathematical construct; they aren't a physical measure of anything.
Temperature varies significantly from one location to another. In the Arctic, it's 40 below zero. In the desert during summer, we're talking triple-digit numbers. But nobody feels the global average. What's more, a global mean surface temperature isn't even a useful metric scientifically. If you want a true measure of the heat content of the climate system to estimate the climate sensitivity, use ocean heat content or the bulk atmospheric temperatures.
But because temperature is a simple enough metric most people understand, using a simple global mean and indoctrinating the youth into thinking Earth is a fragile object is good enough to convince the masses into thinking that even a slight increase in the average surface temperature of the planet over 175 years will cause the Earth system to collapse.
The climate crisis doesn't exist in any relevant real-world data. So, academics and politicians keep you distracted by fixating on a metric that really has nothing to do with the quality of life on Earth. Here are some data that tell the full story.

The reason for this is because of fossil fuels, which have improved our standard of living in a number of ways, including:
💡 Producing the electricity supplied to our homes to keep our lights on, HVAC working and our other home appliances functioning.
🍳 Supply the electricity and/or gas to power stoves, ovens and microwaves to cook our food and reduce personal risk of becoming infected and/or falling ill to foodborne pathogens.
💊 Improving public health by facilitating a hygienic sewage treatment system, a clean running water supply and enabling scientists / engineers to develop life-saving medications, vaccines and various surgical procedures that would otherwise not exist.
⛽️ Powering vehicles, aircraft and other modes of transportation which make it easier for people to get access to better healthcare, better education and countless other essential services.

We are routinely told that “extreme heat is the number one weather-related killer.” We are also told that as the planet warms, more and more people are going to be killed from extreme temperatures.
But, it turns out that extreme heat is humans' 𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌 in most geographical regions.
🥵 From 2000-2019, 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕 was linked to an average of 153,078 excess deaths (e.g., hyperthermia or heatstroke) per year globally.
🥶 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅, conversely, was linked to 205,932 excess deaths (e.g., hypothermia) per year globally. So, that's 1.3× as many fatalities than those caused by extreme heat exposure.
Thus, in the grand scheme of things, direct exposure to extreme outdoor air temperature kills surprisingly few numbers of people per year globally.

Much larger health risks are associated with moderate heat and cold exposure, however.
♨️ 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕 was ascribed to 335,997 excess deaths (e.g., dehydration or electrolyte imbalance) per year, on average, globally from 2000-19. That is 2.19× as many deaths than the number caused by extreme heat.
🧥 𝑴𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅 is humans' highest temperature risk. From 2000-19, it was linked to nearly 4.4 million excess deaths (e.g., constriction of blood vessels to maintain a stable core body temperature) per year, on average, globally. That's 28.6× as many deaths than are caused by extreme heat exposure.
By region, extreme heat is the 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌 on 4 of the 6 permanently inhabited continents (e.g., Zhao et al., 2024). Versus extreme cold, extreme heat kills, on an annual average,

But, what about increased risk with warming? 🤔
It holds true that with warming, there is an increased heat-related mortality rate, and the number of cold weather-related deaths concurrently decrease. This trend has already been observed.
🥵 On average, ~116,000 more people die per year from 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒕 exposure today than they did in the year 2000.
🥶 On average, ~283,000 𝒇𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒓 people die per year from 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒅 exposure today than in 2000.
But, as we can see with the figures above, the number of deaths from exposure to cold air decrease at a faster pace than the number of deaths from exposure to hot air increase.
The result?
Total deaths fall. ⬇️
The average number of deaths avoided annually from non-optimal outdoor air temperature exposure since 2000 now exceeds 167,000 persons.
