And now the Trump card

John Shewchuk

Let’s start with ice. Remember Antarctica?  For years, the alarmists have been frantically waving their hands that Antarctic’s ice sheets are rapidly melting due to “man made” carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

There were two big problems with that:

1. Only the western ice sheets were rapidly melting. If global warming was really the cause, then all the ice would be similarly melting.

2. Surprisingly, the ice sheets on Antarctic’s eastern side were actually growing.  The alarmists had no reasonably coherent explanation, other than blaming humans with lots of hand waving. 

Next the fire part.

There is more and more evidence of sub-glacial volcanoes in Antarctica.  In fact, there are over 138 volcanoes and counting.  More interestingly, they have identified 91 volcanoes which are located under the melting ice in western Antarctica, with an unknown number that are active. This has been supported by oceanic chemical analyses and numerous earthquakes in the region. Even with this new evidence, climate fanatics still use hand-waving to minimize and even ignore heating by volcanoes. 

And now the Trump card.

Reports of Antarctic volcanoes have been around for many years. The alarmists where forced to acknowledge their existence due to public availability of thermal satellite images clearly showing that Antarctica’s western ice and surrounding ocean waters were much warmer than the eastern side. Fortunately, President Trump’s science advisors have all the data, and have been providing Trump the complete climate status. This is just one of many reasons why President Trump appropriately pulled out of the phony Paris Agreement. 

You know folks, this is just one of numerous examples of where “the data” is exposing the fraud in the climate alarmist movement.  Thanks to the Internet and independent news sources outside the tightly controlled UN/Climate news bureau, the alarmists can no longer control the hoax narrative.  The awakening public can now better see the fake climate emergency.  As a result, the alarmists have now abandoned their sky-is-falling talking points and have revealed their ultimate goal.  This goal was clearly stated by Greta Thunberg when she recently said, “… the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all.” And there you have it. Not bad for a 16-year-old. Hollywood material

Karl Marx would be proud of Greta. But mysteriously missing were references to CO2 and global warming. The end game was never about controlling climate change — it’s about your freedom. The climate will always change. Your freedom … that’s up for grabs.
