Guardian: "heat kills more people in Europe than almost any other issue you worry about"
But that's because the Guardian doesn't tell you about the things to really worry about, like cold death

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”
James 1:19-20 NIV
The Guardian says a study shows Greenland is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour. Sounds terrifying until you add scale.
If, for argument's sake, we accept the questionable headline rate, that works out to roughly 263 gigatons lost per year. But Greenland holds 2.8 million gigatons, meaning total loss would take over 10,000 years.
And the study itself adds important context. Much of its newly counted loss comes from glacier retreat in fjords where ice was already below the sea, so it does not raise sea levels in the way the headline implies.
This is how climate fear works: Huge number. No denominator. No time scale. Just blind panic.
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.
And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:15-16 NIV
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.
Hebrews 12:7-8 NIV
Justin Trudeau was a clown who didn’t care.
Mark Carney is a sly fox-who really knows what his agenda is?
Poilievre is a wise and honest man. I do wish he was our Prime Minister.
10 degree and foggy and it’s summer!
But it’s better than those days in May that it was snowing and 20 below.
Oh global warming you are failing us so badly!
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 NIV
Lord, give us hearts that seek after you.
“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
Hebrews 11:3 NIV
Those who believe in the Big Bang also have faith-though it’s literally faith in “nothing”!
Two decades of global greening driven by higher CO₂ is a profound rescue mission by nature itself.
The Earth’s carbon cycle had hit a catastrophic 190 ppm crisis point during the Last Glacial Maximum, some 20,000 years ago. CO₂ reached its lowest level in hundreds of millions of years; and the planet was scraping the bottom of the biological barrel. It came perilously close to choking the life out of 95% of all land plants. What could that have meant for our species survival?
This steady loss of global CO₂ levels comes from weathering, erosion, absorption and burial over deep time. These processes are etched into the entire geological record. It was a critical turning point for planetary life, rarely talked about today.
Now that modern-day carbon deficit is reversing, NASA’s MODIS and VIIRS satellites reveal a global recovery with undeniable clarity. They are tracking a worldwide expansion of the green leaf area almost entirely driven by carbon fertilisation.
The ancient ferns and forests locked up in coal, oil and gas are being recycled back into active duty, putting the biosphere on a more stable footing. This green expansion is undeniable, covering an area twice the size of the continental United States.
It makes the dogma of a climate crisis, occurring decades in the future seem shallow, even counter-intuitive. Over recent decades, we've been hammered with the narrative that CO₂ is the dark road to crisis and collapse. Yet the real collapse has been for national sovereignty, as Western economies and jobs are hollowed out and exported.
The global green recovery is nature fighting back. It exposes the extent to which we have been force-fed an ideological dogma instead of reality to sustain an artificial, 'code red' climate storm.
These alarm bells were manufactured via worst-case computer modeling and economic spreadsheets. They were quietly produced in sterile office suites in Geneva and New York under the watchful eye of a self-appointed globalist elite. Asset managers, investment opportunists, the political class and wayward billionaires like Bill Gates, all saw an unparalleled opportunity for power and profit.
For 30 years, we have watched as the UN hosted annual COP summits—luxurious two-week junkets for the wealthy, who jet into plush hotels and resort hideaways.
Yet for the rest of us, the Earth remains the same familiar, yet flawed, enduring wonderland. We still want to see roses in the cheeks of our children, yearn for the freedom of quiet country lanes, and feel a thrill at the unceasing natural world around us. This ancient human need has not been diminished.
The bureaucrats are quick to analyse the planet through this economic matrix, but they fail to appreciate its endless diversity. They don't want to hear the ancient music of bird songs or watch the waves crash on lonely beaches. If they stepped back from their dead screens, they might see a grander, older story written into the deep architecture of time.
To suggest a minuscule fraction of a trace gas is running the entire climate apparatus is to split hairs in the face of evolutionary history. They see the world through a pixelated lens rather than for any authentic love for it.
The biosphere isn't listening to these plastic-moneyed interpretations of climate; the world is too busy drinking in the rain and soaking up the benevolence of our carbon-based heritage.
Never surrender to this power-mad rush to world globalism, masked under its fake brand of environmentalism. We must strive to keep the lights of our freedoms burning.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
— Dylan Thomas
