Devastating Floods May be the Beginning


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jul 22, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The climate activists come out with every disaster and blame climate change. The brush fires in Australia were climate change yet termite hills were taller than a truck for they have evolved to withstand natural brush fires. The collapse of the condos in Florida was immediately claimed to be caused by rising sea levels when it was faulty construction. Here we go again claiming extreme weather is all caused by CO2 and the flood in China is evidence of their theory with NO historical documentation whatsoever. The truth is that there was massive flooding in China in 1931 as pictured here.

This is NOT something new as they always claim. Indeed, nature conspired against Emperor Wang Mang in 11AD, who like Biden, was trying to create massively overvalued money which also ruined the economy. His wuzhu coins were set at 560 times their metal content which was not well received by the people.

Meanwhile, the Yellow River flooded killing many thousands that eventually caused a great famine and a plague. This led to civil unrest as a sign from heaven. Peasants migrated south and banded into larger groups. One of these groups rose, known as the Red Eyebrows, and they were strong enough that they defeated one of Wang’s armies. This led to widespread rebellions even in the capital. They stormed the palace and in a grand last stand, about 1,000 palace guards defended Wang to the last man. The rebels then killed Wang Mang bringing an end to his brief dreams of creating a new dynasty.

These floods are NOT something new. They have been taking place for thousands of years. The real problem is more than the immediate deaths from drowning. The crisis that has often followed is crop failures, starvation, and the rise of plagues from such events.

Today, if the masses stormed the White House, Biden would probably think it’s a party. They would be hanging the wrong guy. It’s the power behind the throne this time.

This is a photo of the Paris flood of 1910. The flood in Europe is also not unknown. We should expect rising floods with the greatest peak in this cycle arrives during the 2032-2037 time period and in the Western United States droughts.

So instead of blaming soccer moms for driving the kids and people who commute to work, just maybe we should be looking at extreme weather from a cyclical standpoint

A Technical Study in the Relationships of Solar Flux, Water, Carbon Dioxide and Global Temperatures, June 2021 Data


From the attached report on climate change for June 2021 Data we have the two charts showing how much the global temperature has actually gone up since we started to measure CO2 in the atmosphere in 1958? To show this graphically Chart 8a was constructed by plotting CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by about 32.0% from 1958 to May of 2021. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree.  Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) is almost un-measurable at only .4%. As you see the increase in energy, heat, is not visually observably in this chart hence the need for another Chart 8 to show the minuscule increase in thermal energy shown by NASA in relationship to the change in CO2 Shown in the next Chart using a different scale.

The next chart is Chart 8 which is the same as Chart 8a except for the scales. The scale on the right side had to be expanded 10 times (the range is 50 % on the left and 5% on the right) to be able to see the plot in the same chart in any detail. The red plot, starting in 1958, shows that the thermal energy in the earth’s atmosphere increased by .40%; while CO2 has increased by 32.0% which is 80 times that of the increase in temperature. So is there really a meaningful link between them that would give as a major problem?

Based to these trends, determined by excel not me, in 2028 CO2 will be 428 ppm and temperatures will be a bit over 15.0o Celsius and in 2038 CO2 will be 458 ppm and temperatures will be 15.6O Celsius. This is what the data shows no matter what the reasons are, so I have no idea how the IPCC gets to predict that the world will end in ten or even twenty years.

Carbon Dioxide CO2 is not making “ANY” dangerous changes to the global temperature!

The numbers tell us — there isn’t any problem!

The full 40 page report explains how these charts were developed and why using NASA and NOAA data that are used without change to prove that The New Green Deal is not required and any attempt to complete that plan will be a worldwide disaster.

The Latest Fraud of CNN


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jul 14, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

CNN is deliberately misleading the public, and they REFUSE to do any real investigative reporting. They should be shut down as a propaganda organization that is against the national security of the United States. Anyone who would bother to just look at how that statistic was created would be ashamed to repeat it. CNN and others are intimidating scientists who are afraid to tell the truth, for they will be canceled, ridiculed, and may even lose their job.

In 2009, the University of Illinois sent a survey online to about 10,000 scientists with the following two questions:

QUESTION #1

Do you agree that global temperatures have generally risen since the pre-1800s?

QUESTION #2
Do you think that human activity is a significant contributing factor?

Only 3146 responses were received of 10,000, and of that 31%, 90% said yes to the first question but 82% said yes to the second question.

This is how the fraud was carried out by people who have used this survey. They narrowed down the responses and found that among meteorologists who responded, only 64% said yes to the second question, so about 1/3 said NO!

Then disregarding all the others of the 3146 responses, they focused on only 77 who described themselves as “climate experts” without any proof of their credentials and found that only 75 said yes to the second question.

Therefore, when we divide 75/77 we get to their claim of  97% of all scientists in the world say there is a climate emergency that warrants raising taxes and seizing property.

This was only 2.3% of those who bothered to respond, and I doubt that they would agree with the solution which is COMMUNISM!

0.0075%

If we take the 75 responses of 10,000 scientists surveyed, that means only 0.0075% agreed that there is climate change with some human causality. Why are they lying to the entire world? Because behind this movement is the destruction of capitalism and the resurrection of communism. And people wonder why our computer has been forecasting that the financial capital of the world is moving to Asia? Climate change activists are trying to recreate the Marxist experiment all over again.

Palm Beach Destined to Sink Beneath the Sea?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jun 29, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The world leaders at the G7 summit told the world that climate change is a huge threat and the sea levels are rising. Obviously, all the millionaires in Palm Beach are asked to donate unlimited amounts of money to stop the sea from rising, or all their homes will vanish. Perhaps in a few thousand years, but not immediately.

The G7 met on the beach to tell the world they will drown if we do not fight climate change immediately by shutting down businesses, ending fossil fuels, and preferably, reducing the population by at least 50%. I think all politicians should set the example and show the way with suicide to save the planet. The rest of us will, of course, follow, perhaps?

The Rising Conflicts – New Report $75


Armstrong Economics Blog/Reports and DVDs Re-Posted Jun 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

This is a focus report on the three hot spots where we have the greatest conflicts – Taiwan, Crimea, and the Middle East. This report goes into great detail to explore these risks for each region as we head into these turbulent times ahead. We must respect that the Biden Administration is probably the weakest in American history because it has been a focus on climate change.

It is hard to imagine that Biden actually claimed that his military said the greatest threat is climate change. If that statement were even true, then why do we need a military if there are no longer military threats? This is not going to go down well.. Here is a report we have assembled on these hot spots that need to be considered for the all impact international capital flows and therefore the direction of the currencies and the financial markets.

This report is priced for the average reader ………….. $75.00

Chancellor Merkel Rejects Cabinet Climate Change Effort to Stop Coal Energy Use


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 15, 2021 | Sundance | 135 Comments

Angela Merkel is essentially the de-facto global head of modern political liberalism. The central tenet, almost religious-based in its importance, is the lunacy within “climate change”. However, as most reasonable people have concluded, the ‘climate discussions’ are more about controlled global economics than any actual concerns about planetary climatology. Bottom line, it’s the economics that really matter beyond all else.

CTH has pointed out for several years that Germany’s Angela Merkel, a beloved leader amid the political left, was never going to put her economy in a position of weakness just to appease the environmental lobby.   Chancellor Merkel is a nationalist at heart and within that outlook progressive causes can be advocated but only to the extent that Germany can retain a superior economic condition.

Despite her being heralded by the progressive movement in the U.S, it is all a farce.  Angela Merkel is a political case study in what leftists refuse to admit and even more leftists deny; that is the reality behind the hypocrisy.  The narrative fraud was evident when President Trump pulled out of the Paris climate treaty and immediately Merkel said Germany would also not comply with the treaty demands. From Merkel’s position Germany must always retain a superior position within the EU, no matter what.

The most recent example of this comes from Merkel rejecting carbon emission reduction requirements from her own government.  Merkel knows the environmental wing is full of moonbat policy that runs counter to the economic need of her nation.  Despite the ‘greens’ gaining legislative seats, she will not support carbon dictates that are against the interests of manufacturing and multinational corporations in Germany:

(Via Reuters) German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday rejected demands to bring forward an exit date for ending coal generation in Germany, currently set at 2038. {SEE HERE}

“Those affected need some reliability on the path to climate neutrality,” Merkel said. “I don’t want to unravel this again after one year.”

Climate activists say that without an earlier coal phase-out, the more ambitious climate protection targets which Merkel’s government just agreed on cannot be achieved. (LINK)

The policy and advocacy behind the climate change narrative is a globalist control effort, nothing more.  Carbon exchanges and carbon taxes are the holy grail objectives for globalists and elite institutions of power and finance.  It is all a control effort.

The day after President Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty, the German auto-sector immediately responded with a statement.  We see the immediate admission that ‘climate’ is simply a tool to shape global economics within that reactionary auto industry statement (emphasis mine):

(Via Reuters) […] “The regrettable announcement by the USA makes it inevitable that Europe must facilitate a cost efficient and economically feasible climate policy to remain internationally competitive,” Matthias Wissmann, president of the German auto industry lobby group VDA, said in a statement on Friday.

“The preservation of our competitive position is the precondition for successful climate protection. This correlation is often underestimated,” Wissmann said, adding that the decision by the Unites States was disappointing. (link)

As clearly stated, when push comes to shove German sensibilities are connected more to their economics than to any do-gooder need to save the planet.

Climate change is a globalist tool.  Angela Merkel knows this.  President Trump also knew that Merkel knows this.  That is the essence behind why President Trump consistently said he and Angela Merkel get along great, and the leftists (who could not reconcile Trump’s statements against their own false belief) always had that snarky weird look on their face.
