Opinion by Samuel Strait – February 5, 2023 Kudos to the "Karens" in the governor's office. They have out done themselves with their latest round of the "World is coming to an end due to Climate Change". In the words of noted climatologist, just kidding, Diana Crofts-Peleyo, Assistant Director for Crisis Communications and Public Affairs at the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, "over the last several weeks, severe storms pummeled communities across California, underscoring the critical need to inform Californians about the vital resources available to them during extreme weather events". She goes on to say "these storms are among the most deadly natural disasters in the modern history of our state". Yet, the problem with this almost inevitable posturing in the name of "Climate Change", is that California has experienced storms of equal and even more devastating impact for centuries. Nothing to see here folks. It is not as if the terms "atmospheric river", or "cyclone bomb are anything new in the terminology of the hysteric or weather for that matter. History can testify to the fact that California receives and has received for hundreds of years, periodic weather events that have matched or on some occasions exceeded what we have recently received. Flash flooding in the entire southwest of the United States, including California are and continue to be a normal part of the weather. Crofts-Peleyo goes on to regale us with "the hots are getting hotter, and the wets are wetter." None of which is true. Recent information acquired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has clearly debunked that statement and further released data that is showing weather events are if anything milder over the past eight years than has previously been recorded. Similarly, satellite data has shown a clear trend that the world's temperature has declined by 0.11 degrees centigrade over the last decade. As more actual science has begun to "weigh in" on the notion that human caused climate change is at any kind of crisis level, the religion has developed some serious leaks. Despite the fact that California's Governor continues to pound the drum of Climate hysteria, science has proven to be at odds with the Governor. Scientists in a wealth of disciplines other than the study of climate have begun to chip away at any sort of consensus that human caused climate change actually exists. For several decades the Climate Change religion has run rough shod over any objection to climate variations being anything but normal. Dozens of alternative explanations far more based on facts continue to be ignored or censored that offer reasons for why extreme climate change, does not in fact exist. Storms are not any more extreme, hurricanes more damaging or deadly, tornadoes appearing more often, and flooding more regular or more extreme. Nothing of the sort appears to be happening in a world that extremists continue to claim the world is warming. The earth continues to move around the sun experiencing its climate changes in a regular variation as it has for thousands of years. It has peaked in its regular warm cycle and has for the past decade entered into its cooling period. For Californians who think that the Governor's office has any sort of superior knowledge about climate, they are likely to be sorely disappointed in the coming years. In the same vein, efforts by our Sacramento governments to continue to peddle, what has surfaced as pseudo science. Californians will likely pay a steep cost in quality of living if a rapid course correction is not made.
