Wildfires in March, 2026

[Old Rocks]

CO2 does not cause wind to increase.

The increase in CO2 and other GHG's have increased the temperature of the atmosphere and ocean. That means there is more energy in the atmosphere, so a more energetic atmosphere has higher wind speeds. And the weather records are proof of that. And that increase is good for wind farms, but bad for making wildfires unmanageable.

Between 2000 and 2022, 100-meter wind speeds over the U.S. have increased, especially in the western half of the country, where wind speeds increased from 3% to 7%. This positive impact on wind farms' power output is a result of the increasing wind speeds, which have been tracked over the last 22 years. The highest average wind speeds are found over the Great Plains, with Wyoming and New Mexico moving up in state ranking in the 22-year interval, surpassing North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Rhode Island ranks first in average wind speed, with 8.9 m/s average wind speeds; Utah ranks first in wind speed change from 2000 to 2022, up 6.4%. The U.S. energy transition is expected to increase the pace of building and connecting renewable energy, with the changing climate, both human-induced and natural, underlaying the energy transition.

You dramatically overestimate what CO2 does. So little, and you allege huge damage. Makes no sense.

I have one test for you. You claim that CO2 is dangerous. Why have temperatures fallen at Death Valley, CA which happens to be the hottest place on Earth?

I am not a woman, but I have lived in 3 states over the past 7 years and in CA where I was born, just to be a licensed RE Broker there, I was forced to get my birth certificate and show proof my last name changes from my former, to my present was legal. Voting as I recall did not require any of that.
I moved to Idaho where I showed them my birth certificate and also here I Oregon so there are two states that require id to vote and get drivers licenses.

I was born in 1938 and to a different father than my stepdad. I even proved to the Army long ago my name change. IT is pretty normal in fact to do it.

I find it interesting that you think you have to fight socialism. Same as I find it interesting that some think that they have to fight capitalism. Those are economic tools. To be used as is appropriate for the desired result. Even in "Wealth of Nations" Adam Smith warns of the inherent dangers in unregulated capitalism. And we know the dangers of socialism without guardrails. Yet the purest socialism that exists, our National Park System, is also America's greatest idea. Now I have a 20 inch Crescent wrench, weighs about 10 lbs, that I used working on industrial machinery. I could just as easily used it for crushing someone's skull. Don't blame the tool for the users intentions and use of it.

Socialism has to be fought or when one lives under that system, it spawns rulers like Hitler. Free markets work fine.

The richest man in the world, Elon Musk supports Trump, as do many of the silicon valley billionaires.

The Billionaires are the most attacked classes in the USA.

That's the $20 trillion lie.


Actual satellite and balloon data = atmosphere not warming
Surface Air Pressure = atmosphere not warming
Hurricane Data = oceans not warming
