As Kamala and her woke-prog cronies start to tank in the polls, you can expect them to try to scare the [expletive] out of us, by the usual exploitation of the pervasive public ignorance of the various forms of earth science. Meanwhile, they are still pandering to economic ignorance — mostly blaming inflation on price-gouging by those awful greedy corporations instead of the obvious and irresponsible vast increase in the supply of paper money.
The “greedy corporation” rant was worked to death long ago by generations of foaming-at-the-mouth Marxists. For a major party candidate to burp up such a lame screed was even too much for the lapdog Washington Post.
The first lecture in the climatology class that I attended — which was taught by a visiting professor from the Valhalla of American climate studies: the University of Colorado, Boulder — defined weather as day-to-day and climate as a twenty-year average of recorded weather statistics. Weather is also particularly local, whereas climate is more or less regional while still not really all that global.
A rather woke-prog friend once asked me what it would take for me to realize that global warming is real. I told him that I would need to live to be at least 500 years old so I could objectively notice the trend. The problem with the left’s adoption of “climate change” in lieu of “global warming” is that climate is supposed to change. Ice ages and fluctuating sea levels have long been leaving their marks for all to notice. Another deception has to do with the idea of “normal” weather conditions, such as “tomorrow’s forecast calls for temperatures about five degrees above normal.” Rainfall is also notorious for year-to-year fluctuations.
