- Canadian National Fire Database data disputes climate link to fires: ‘There has been a significant & continuing decline in the number of fires & no discernible trend in the area burned’
According to Canada’s Department of Natural Resources, fires have been occurring for thousands of years in the boreal forests of eastern Canada - not exactly unprecedented. In addition, they call fire a primary change agent that is as crucial to forest renewal as the sun and rain -perhaps not a calamity either.It appears that 2023 is on pace to be a year with unusually high numbers of fires. Yet the previous year was one of historically low numbers. The Canadian National Fire Database (2023) provides facts to dispute the idea of climate change-driven increases in fires in Canadian fires. According the CNFD, there has been a significant and continuing decline in the number of fires and no discernible trend in the area burned.
- Media Wrong Again & Quebec wildfires: ‘Media has been quick’ to link Canada fires to man-made climate change
USA Today: As Canada burns, smoke makes US air unhealthy and skies eerie. Is climate change to blame? - "Climate change is real and having a huge impact on Canadians right now with forest fires burning across the country," tweeted Catherine McKenna, Canada's former climate minister. ...
USA Today: Smoke 'keeping temperatures cooler than average - Temps 'running 5-8 degrees cooler than forecast due to smoke in the atmosphere': Due to an area of low pressure that's hovering offshore, along with an area of high pressure over Canada, a northerly flow of air was funneling the smoke south into the U.S. from Canada, AccuWeather said. This was keeping temperatures cooler than average, as the smoke filters out the blazing June sunshine.For example, the weather service in Washington, D.C., said in an online forecast discussion Tuesday that "temperatures this morning have been running 5-8 degrees cooler than forecast due to the smoke in the atmosphere."

- ‘Don’t Play Footsie with Racism’ – ‘Raising the specter of climate-caused mass migration…is climate advocacy dressed up as science that traffics in nationalist & even racist impulses’
Pielke Jr.: I take closer look at some of these papers which have promoted the notion of a “human climate niche.” This concept perpetuates climate determinism — a theory well over a century old that has been discredited as not just wrong, but imperialist and racist...The “human climate niche” is a phrase developed by the same people who brought us “planetary boundaries” — a concept which has been invoked a justification for setting up new institutions of non-state governance to enforce those boundaries. Many of these scientists are now associated with or self-appointed members of an “Earth Commission” that seeks to establish and enforce targets and metrics for limiting the actions of governments and businesses. Science is invoked as the basis for these actions, in the form of various published papers. ...
Hard planetary limits that required that human actions and behaviors be regulated...
The empirical reality is that humans have proven adaptable to almost all of the Earth’s many climates, ranging from the Sahara Desert to Antarctica, and humans thrive in places as varied as Lagos to Oslo to Quito to Lahore. ... Raising the specter of climate-caused mass migration, explicitly characterized as black and brown people coming your way, is a form of climate advocacy dressed up as science that traffics in nationalist and even racist impulses.
- Watch: Morano on Newsmax TV banning airline flights: ‘The fix is in’ – ‘They are abolishing the middle class, they are treating us like the unwashed masses’
Newsmax TV - Frontline w/ Carl Higbie - Broadcast June 1, 2023
Morano: "This is almost like religious fanaticism. They're doing it in order to achieve this utopian vision. And it's like they're imposing a religion, an austerity upon the rest of us.
They're collapsing our energy, our food, our transportation, our free speech, and this is all through corporate government collusion, mostly without an ounce of democracy, just like COVID -- when they closed schools and churches and work and issued stay-at-home orders and canceled weddings, funerals, and medical procedures. All of that was done without a single vote. It was done because the virus demanded it. Well, now they change the word 'virus' to the 'climate' demands it."
- Say What?! The Hill: ‘Climate paradox’ – New study finds emissions cuts ‘will make the earth much hotter in the short term’
The Hill: Climate paradox: Emission cuts could ‘unmask’ deadly face of climate change, scientists warn - One the one hand, cutting fossil fuel pollution is necessary for avoiding severe destruction over the long term. But such cuts will make the earth much hotter in the short term. ...
These cuts remain one of the only examples of successful cuts to climate-warming pollution, but the new study found that those pandemic-era cuts in air pollution led to a rise in global temperatures. The findings, published on Wednesday in the journal NPJ Climate and Atmospheric Science, unveil a stark paradox at the heart of human-caused climate change.

- Study: Lower emissions during the COVID lockdowns caused climate warming effect – ‘Short-lived cooling particles in the air was greatly reduced’
Via Engineering & Technology: While reduced air pollution emissions leads to better air quality, they also enable stronger climate warming effects, scientists in Sweden have said. ... It was discovered that while the concentrations of polluting short-lived air particles decreased significantly, the concentrations of longer-lived greenhouse gases were barely affected in the air mass over South Asia. The cooling effect of the aerosols comes from the fact that they reflect incoming solar radiation back into space. With a lower aerosol content, there is less cooling, and thus less ‘masking’ of the warming effect of the significantly longer-lived climate gases. ...
The results show that a complete phasing out of fossil-fuel combustion in favour of renewable energy sources with zero emissions could result in rapid ‘unmasking’ of aerosols, while greenhouse gases linger. ... “During a couple of decades, emission reductions risk leading to net climate warming due to the ‘masking’ effect of air particles, before the temperature reduction from reduced greenhouse gas emissions takes over.
- 2023 Edition: What the media won’t tell you about . . . hurricanes – The science and data reporters refuse to report – Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.
Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: The science and data reporters refuse to report: "Hurricane landfalls along the continental U.S. show no trends since at least 1900."
"Development and growth are sufficient to explain why hurricane damage has increased dramatically." - Physicist: ‘The frequency & severity of floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves & wildfires are not increasing, & may even be declining in some cases’
"The frequency of North Atlantic hurricanes has been essentially unchanged since 1851, as seen in the following figure. The apparent heightened hurricane activity over the last 20 years, particularly in 2005 and 2020, simply reflects improvements in observational capabilities since 1970 and is unlikely to be a true climate trend, say a team of hurricane experts."
