(Excerpt) ~~
And thus we come to the key role of the New York Times for the Left, which is to mold and convey the official talking points to the team’s candidates and influencers. How about sharing some instruction on how to quietly back away from the Green New Deal?
Today on page A-12 of the print edition there is a piece with the headline “Democrats Once Vowed to Stop Oil and Gas. Now They’re Not So Sure.” The sub-headline is “As the midterm elections approach, many leading Democrats are rethinking their approach to climate change.” The online version indicates that the piece first appeared there five days ago, June 11. They held it for the print edition until today, and then buried it deeply on page A-12. The casual reader may not get that far, but the person who will see it is the party apparatchik who needs direction from central headquarters. Excerpt:
With voters worried about spiking gas prices and inflation, some [Democratic Party] leaders argue that they should stop trying to throttle oil and gas, which heat the planet when burned. It’s a rejection of the approach taken during the Biden administration, which treated climate change as an existential threat and tried to stop new drilling and pipelines. . . . The result could be a less ambitious climate agenda if the party returns to power in Washington. . . . Now many Democrats argue that the path back to power means abandoning some of their most aggressive stances on climate change.
The piece is filled with useful pointers in how to tone down the catastrophism. Most of that seems to involve an end to vilifying oil and gas, while continuing to promote wind and solar as the “cheapest” ways to produce electricity. (They still haven’t figured out that by the time you include costs of integrating wind and solar into the grid, those things are a far more expensive way to produce electricity than fossil fuels.). Here are some of the pointers:

• “Rather than pushing green solutions only, many Democrats say they have a better way to bridge the gap: Be the party of yes to all forms of energy. After all, they argue, wind and solar power are often the cheapest forms of electricity and the fastest to deploy. On an even playing field, they say, renewables would beat fossil fuels.”
• “We shouldn’t be against the domestic oil and gas industry, but we have to be for the energy transition,” said Simon Rosenberg, a Democratic strategist. “Democrats should be running toward that instead of away from it.”
• Rahm Emanuel, the former congressman, chief of staff to President Barack Obama and mayor of Chicago who is exploring a 2028 White House run, said Democrats need to focus on household budgets, specifically electric and gas bills.“I’m not against talking about climate policy, but you’ve got to talk about it as energy and energy prices,” Mr. Emanuel said, “and you talk about it as it relates to protecting ratepayers.”

And if you stop vilifying the oil and gas industries, you can even start taking their money!:
[Recently] in California, . . . Tom Steyer, a champion of fighting global warming, was edged out of this month’s gubernatorial primary by Xavier Becerra. Mr. Becerra, a moderate Democrat, questioned the state’s most stringent climate goals, like ending sales of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035, and received donations from oil and gas companies.
If the Democratic candidates are getting this message, it could be that the climate scare suddenly mostly disappears from the upcoming midterm elections. Wouldn’t that be an incredible change!
On the other hand, so far this is just about messaging. Even if the messaging changes, that does not mean that the goals of the Democrats on taking power will have changed. Certainly, over in the Endangerment Finding litigation, dozens of enviro groups and all the blue states continue to argue that atmospheric CO2 (the product of use of fossil fuels) is a “danger” to human health and welfare. Where Democrats rule, the destructive policies will continue until either there is some sort of catastrophic grid failure or the costs become too wildly excessive to credibly blame on some bogeyman.

Commentary:
Don't forget: Even if the messaging changes, that does not mean that the goals of the Democrats on taking power will have changed.
Al Gore is really angry.

Fear Not.. It’s like a bad horror movie monster — it gets killed off, then takes shape again, regaining its power to terrorize the next ignorant generation.
The Democrat “issue” playbook—in this case the issue will be “Save the Unicorns”.

• Have the government and corporate “friends” fund studies proving the Unicorns are going extinct and need to be saved. Academic whores are a dime a dozen—easy peasy.
• Have mass media allies cover these “studies” en masse and propagandized the masses.
• Have street protests including lots of kids with “Save the Unicorns” and “Corporations are destroying Unicorns” signs—of course with massive media coverage.
• Put “Save the Unicorns” on Democrat talking points and platforms. Have every Dem politician include it in speeches and other communications.
• Educate kids of the value of Unicorns and the critical need to save them. The teacher’s unions push this issue hard and get it into every classroom they can reach.
• A generation of brainwashed kids push “Save the Unicorns” which lead to federal and state programs spending billions of dollars on the “program”.
• Thousands of non profits spring up to take the government money and have their leaders live high on the hog (or should I say riding high on a Unicorn).
• Viciously attack anyone who questions the existence of Unicorns as a “hater” and “ignornant” rube who refuses to “follow the science”.

This is how it is done—and oh yeah by the time they are finished a bunch of Freepers will be insisting Unicorns are real and claiming only “idiots” believe otherwise.

No.
The "Scare " has barely started .
Short term , the coming Super el Nino will further ignite matters .
Then , millions of times more serious , the effects of Earth's fast fading electro magnetic shield and the fast moving Magnetic Poles -- indicative of a Poles Reversal within 20 years , say , all leading to a near Extinction Event .
All caused by Sun and Galaxy Centre, meaning that these causes cannot likely be hugely changed -- only our chances of surviving them .
I imagine there will be mayhem and carnage when the populace finally "gets the message ".

Naturally these subjects are being suppressed/ minimised whenever possible for obvious reasons

Increase in Extreme Weather Events Over the Last Two Decades​

Over the past 20 years, extreme weather events have become both more frequent and more intense, with climate change playing a major role in driving these changes.

Global and U.S. trends
Long-term U.S. climate data show a clear warming trend across all seasons, with winter warming faster than summer and nighttime temperatures rising more sharply Our World in Data. This warming alters the water cycle: warmer air holds more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall and more severe snowfall during wet events, while also increasing evaporation that fuels prolonged droughts NASA. NASA’s analysis of 20 years of satellite data found that from 2015–2021, extreme wet and dry events occurred about four times per year, up from three per year in the previous 13 years NASA.

Deadliest events and climate links
A 2024 study by the World Weather Attribution network found that 10 of the deadliest extreme weather events in the past 20 years — including heat waves in 2022 and 2023, tropical cyclones, floods, and droughts — were made more intense and more likely by human-caused climate change EL PAÍS English. These events caused over 570,000 deaths worldwide. Even at 1.3°C of warming above pre-industrial levels, the atmosphere can retain more moisture, intensifying downpours and heatwaves EL PAÍS English.

Mechanisms driving change

• Warmer air and oceans increase the energy available for storms, heatwaves, and heavy rainfall Science Mission Directorate.
• Altered water cycles mean both droughts and floods are more extreme, with longer dry spells and more intense wet periods NASA.
• Melting ice and shifting weather patterns contribute to more unpredictable and severe storms Science Mission Directorate.

Implications
These changes are already affecting human health, agriculture, infrastructure, and economies. The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report confirms that greenhouse gas emissions have increased the frequency and intensity of extreme weather, and warns that risks will escalate further with continued warming Science Mission Directorate.

In short, the last two decades have seen a clear upward trend in extreme weather events, with climate change acting as a key amplifier of their severity and likelihood.

More dumbfuckery. The sixth great extinction event is currently underway.

The sixth great extinction, also known as the Holocene extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is an ongoing extinction event primarily caused by human activities. It affects numerous species across various families of plants and animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, impacting both terrestrial and marine ecosystems Wikipedia. Key factors contributing to this extinction event include overconsumption, hunting, overfishing, pollution, deforestation, and climate change AZ Animals+1. This mass extinction is distinct from previous events as it is driven by human actions rather than natural phenomena World Wildlife Fund.

Climate Change is a science

Global Warming, the theory that CO2 is the dominant variable in Earth climate change, is 100% pure fraud and always was.


The real reason Bill Gates and others bailed on CO2 FRAUD at the start of Trump's 47 term is because they all know DOJ has sat on a fraud case against CO2 FRAUD since 2007....

Thread 'What is the "Global Mean Temperature?"'

Jun 15, 2026

According to CO2 FRAUD the "Global Mean Temperature" is...

1. one ice core from Antarctica, where temperature is extracted from Oxygen isotope ratios which CO2 FRAUD cannot answer what volcanic eruptions do to Oxygen isotope ratio, never mind the Antarctic Peninsula has such eruptions regularly

2. a summation of fudged local temperatures

3. fudged satellite and balloon data, when the actual data showed NO WARMING

Key claim against global warming evaporates

Satellite and weather balloon data used to argue that climate models were wrong and that global warming isn't really happening turns out to be based on faulty analyses, according to three new studies.

LOL You are either a liar, or someone who apparently posts nonsense without any backup at all. Dr. Curry does not say it is a hoax at all. In fact, her stance is that we don't have enough info to know how we should react to a changing climate. Unfortunately, that stance leads to a fatally slow adjustment to the rapid changes that are occurring as we post.

Attempts to Bridge the Divide​

In many ways, Judith Curry attempts to bridge divides in the climate discourse, urging for collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and the public. She argues that more dialogue can lead to better policy outcomes. Her perspective is not about watering down the message of urgency regarding climate change but about pushing for a more thorough understanding of the complexities at play. For her, the ultimate goal remains clear: address global warming thoughtfully while recognizing the multifactorial nature of climate change.

Conclusion​

Ultimately, Judith Curry’s beliefs about global warming are complex and best understood through the lens of her evolving perspectives. While she recognizes the reality of climate change, her insistence on acknowledging uncertainties showcases a commitment to scientific rigor rather than blind acceptance of consensus. Whether you align with her interpretations or not, her contributions encourage discussion and critical thinking about climate science, emphasizing that the journey toward understanding climate dynamics is ongoing and requires contributions from various viewpoints.

Major Heat Records Breaking in Europe and North America​

Extreme heat is currently setting new temperature records across both Europe and parts of North America, with multiple countries experiencing unprecedented warmth.

Europe
In June 2026, Western Europe and the Mediterranean were gripped by major heatwaves, with 42.7 °C (108.9 °F) recorded at Pinhão, Portugal, and Andújar, Spain — the highest ever for May and springtime in those areas Wikipedia. The heatwave started on 22 May, with temperatures 10–15 °C above normal, causing deadly heat stress and breaking records in the UK, France, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the Benelux region Wikipedia. In Portugal, daily highs reached 40 °C, while Spain saw peaks near 38 °C Wikipedia. Earlier in 2025, June was the warmest on record for western Europe, with average temperatures 1.1 °C above the 1991–2020 average, and “extreme heat stress” felt up to 48 °C in parts of Portugal Copernicus.

North America
While the provided sources focus on Europe, the World Meteorological Organization reports that in August 2025, parts of the southwestern U.S. saw temperatures surpass 42 °C (107 °F), with some areas exceeding 45 °C (113 °F), disrupting utilities, education, and labor UN News. The Iberian Peninsula and northern Mexico are also forecast to see 38–40 °C peaks, with possible exceedances of 45 °C in some regions UN News.

Global context
The UN WMO notes that July 2025 was the third-warmest July ever recorded, with Europe’s Sweden and Finland experiencing unusually long periods above 30 °C UN News. Climate scientists warn that such extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and intense due to global warming, with Europe warming twice the global average since the 1980s CNBC.

Key takeaways

• Europe’s June 2026 heatwave is breaking long-standing seasonal records, with Portugal and Spain leading in extreme highs.
• North America’s August 2025 heat is pushing station records in the southwestern U.S. and parts of Mexico.
• Both regions are experiencing deadly heat stress, wildfires, and infrastructure strain, underscoring the growing threat of extreme heat in a warming climate.

No she is not paid for. That's a lie.
What is true is that CO2 is involved.
Yes. We all know that.
What is not true, is that CO2 is a driving force.
And that's just a fact. You can see it in the ice core samples. Temperatures go up first... and then CO2 follows. Not leads.
