Yesterday
I was not online,
but did watch
television news:
30 minutes of the
left-biased
ABC national news,
and 30 minutes
of the right-biased
Fox news.
It's amazing how different
the two stations usually are.
But yesterday one story
was the same on both:
-- Millions of brainwashed
children around the world
were shown protesting
"climate change".
My first thought was:
The climate of our planet
has been changing for
4.5 billion years.
Always getting
colder, or warmer.
Canada, Detroit and Chicago
were under ice 20,000
years ago, which was all
melted by 10,000 years ago.
Since then the planet
got a few degrees cooler,
by the late 1600s,
which people did not like,
and prayed it would get
warmer.
... and then it did get warmer !
Our planet got a few
degrees warmer
since the late 1600s,
but many people today
are still not happy !
Do they want our planet
to get cooler again, so they
can complain about that ?
Why is it that no one is ever
happy about the climate ?
I guess I'm not happy either:
When I moved to Michigan,
from New York, in 1977,
I thought it was too cold here.
42 years later, after all the
alleged "global warming",
it's still too cold here !
In fact, 2019 has been
an unusually cool year
here in Michigan, and for
the U.S. too.
Those children who were
allowed to talk on TV
have been brainwashed
about climate change,
mainly by leftist adults,
to fear the future climate.
To have that fear, they
must know nothing about
the past and present climate.
Those children
I heard on TV,
who were protesting
"climate change",
all lived in the U.S.
If they were under
20 years old, and
all were, then they
NEVER experienced
any global warming,
in the U.S., for their
entire lives !
That statement is based on
NOAA's (Commerce Dept.)
best network of U.S. weather
stations -- the premier USCRN
rural stations temperature record:
USCRN are a small set of
properly sited weather stations
located away from economic
growth:
Because an unpopulated
rural area with a weather station,
is likely to become warmer
over time as it grows into
a small village, even warmer
as the small village grows into
a suburban town, and even
warmer as the suburbs grow
into a small city.
More people, buildings, roads
and parking lots over time,
results in local warming
that would be captured by
local weather stations.
The largest warming effect
is likely to be from a green
rural area becoming less rural.
The warming from economic
growth is part of the long-term
temperature record, but has
nothing to do with CO2.
Not only have the U.S. children
under age 20 not lived during
global warming in the U.S.,
but 2019, from January
through August, has been the
coldest year on record for
the U.S., since records were
kept in 1895.***

surface weather stations, since 1895.
