How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again! (Mark Twain)
Watts Up With That is claiming that the above video was suppressed by YouTube, which is like them. I searched for it there, and it turned up, now labeled “New.” That means it just came back to life today. YouTube must have relented.

“Most glaciers in the NH [Northern Hemisphere] have only formed in the last 4,000 years. While these new glaciers are often used as evidence of global warming, that these new glaciers have formed in the past few thousand years is actually evidence that the Earth and Northern Hemisphere specifically are cooler now than they were in the past few thousand years.” (John Kehr, The Inconvenient Skeptic: The Comprehensive Guide to the Earth’s Climate, page 116.)
Mr. Kehr seemingly wrote this book (2011) and then walked off the face of the earth. He’s not on YouTube, makes no public appearances, doesn’t Google well. Maybe (guessing) he opted not to engage the propaganda and madness that is the Climate Change movement. Maybe he did not want to endure personal attacks from people less knowledgeable than him. Maybe he just doesn’t suffer fools well.
At the end of this post where you see in bold “Youth Plaintiffs… ” is a brief synopsis of a lawsuit against the State of Montana alleging the following:
…greenhouse gas emissions [are] “already triggering a host of adverse consequences in Montana, including dangerously increasing temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, increasing droughts and extreme weather events, increasing the frequency and severity of wildfires, increasing glacial melt***, and causing numerous adverse health risks, especially to children …
If it were me, and be thankful it wasn’t, I would simply have put the burden of proof on Our Children’s Trust, the group behind this lawsuit and many others, all tossed out of court. All of the adverse consequences are nonexistent. Even melting glaciers***, while ongoing, has been going on since 1860 or so, the end of the Little Ice Age. If courts of law are a means of discovering truth, which I think only sometimes possible, then this case would be a no-brainer.
Prior to discussing the Streisand Effect, I am reminded of radio talk show host Dr. Laura Schlessinger, heard on weekdays on SiriusXM channel 111. She is currently 75 years old and going strong. Back before the proliferation of Sirius channels she was usually heard on AM radio. The program was very popular. Even as I was a liberal at the time, and her advice very conservative, I liked her and had very little trouble with her advice, which was stern, sensible and straightforward.
If you are sharp of eyesight, you will note a slight uptick in planet temperature from 1880 to 2020. There is a word for this change from 57 degrees to 59 degrees over that 140 year period: Imperceptible. The human body cannot distinguish such slight temperature anomalies.

Once again, I am limited for display purposes here by the inability of this iPad to allow me to increase the size of the above image. On a PC it is easily done. Nonetheless, what is being sold here should be obvious, and can be viewed with greater ease by going to the original article. This graph is linked behind that article. CNN Published Blatantly false Claim About Wildfires – There’s No Link to Fossil Fuels At All.

Trofim Lysenko 1898-1976) was a Russian scientist. Don’t be confused. Wikipedia calls him a “pseudo” scientist but in our day and age most science is pseudo, and yet we call our virologists, climatologists, geologists, physicists, and oncologists “scientists” nonetheless. So, I think it OK to refer to Trofim as a scientist as well.
Lysenko as responsible for the deaths of millions upon millions of Russian and Chinese peasants. He came up with new agricultural practices that were to revolutionize food production in both countries, but instead set farming back decades.
As a child growing up, I often did stupid things and looked for ways out of my messes. I contrived exotic lies, even thought about injuring myself to gain sympathy. I never did the self-abuse angle, but more importantly, I was never a good liar. As an adult, I learned that truth is always the best thing, as lying leads to more lying and even bigger messes.
Wikipedia lies about just about everything, but is considered a trusted source. I often consult it, as there are many matters where there is no point in lying, as with Taylor Swift’s birthday (12/13/89) or the dates of Woodstock (August 15-18, 1969). But note that there is far more to Taylor Swift, whom I suspect was trained her whole life to be famous and does not (or know how to) write her own music, or with Woodstock, an event organized to inculcate a whole generation in the culture of rock music and drugs, painting opposition to the Vietnam War as drug-addled hippies. Wikipedia can only tell us so much, and then either goes silent, or lies.
I am impressed by a group called Climate Discussion Nexus. I recently subscribed to its weekly newsletter, called the Wednesday Wakeup. That is where I came across the above very interesting video. At 15 minutes, it is not a large tax on time, however, for the benefit of busy people who don’t want to drop everything just to watch something I liked, I will summarize below.
Jon Le Bon is back in business, I take it, or at least I hope. In this post, he is reviewing the question of whether responsible adults should be giving birth to and raising children.
Of course, everyone is free to do as they choose, but I see no reason not to have kids, even large families, for anyone. I know the reasons given for abstinence from children, that pandemics will be more common and climate change is going to destroy us anyway. But none of that is true, that is, those are merely propaganda campaigns. The climate is changing only in a barely perceptible (and beneficial way), and Covid was a fake pandemic undertaken for unstated reasons, well covered here and elsewhere.
