As a growing group of GOP Senators become man-made climate change believers, you have to ask: Did the science move them or just the political calculation that it’s “not worth the fight.” Right Angle — with Scott Ott, Bill Whittle and Stephen Green — is a production of the Members at http://BillWhittle.com

The Florida Migration Influx


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate

Re-Posted Mar 9, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong; I want to thank you. My parents died and left me their home in Naples, Florida. I was going to sell it but after reading you and the fact that even you moved to Florida, I decided to keep it. We have been renting it out and it is always fully booked. The realtor said we can probably get 20% more next year the market is that good. He said it was the weather. I think it is also taxes.

Thank you very much. You do make a difference.

REPLY: The rental market is very good here. I must say, traffic has been about double from the last snowbird season. I personally do not like that, but it is a result of the extreme cold up north. The joke down here is you can probably rent out space under your bed. The weather has clearly boosted the rental market. However, we also have a strong migration from people fleeing New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts who mostly head for the East Coast of Florida. The west coast, where I am, tends to attract more people from the midwest, but I have probably met more people from New Jersey here than I ever did in New Jersey. I was doing some interviews for potential staff and I actually met a girl born in Florida. The interesting thing here is that just about everyone you meet is from someplace else.

Government Ordering Agriculture Be Removed From Commodity Indexes


Armstrong Economics Blog/Agriculture

Re-Posted Mar 6, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

I am in Europe ahead of the May elections as the crisis begins to build. It appears that the powers that be may be talking about Global Warming to justify more taxes, but behind the curtain, these freezing winters are having their impact. The potato crop in Germany has hit a historic low due to the severe summer drought. The yield is down 25-30% and it may be worse after processing. As a result, seed potatoes are not sufficiently available and it is now expected that this will reduce the 2020 crop as well.

The indexes put out by the banks on commodities were told to remove agricultural products from their indexes. The belief is if we do not pay attention, then nobody will notice the rise in prices. There are clearly concerns that food prices are going to rise.

2019 is Breaking All Records for Cold – The Real Threat is a Global Freeze


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate

Re-Posted Mar 2, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Global cooling….you talk a lot about global cooling in the colder winter this year. But what effect does it have on the future summer temperatures and growing of crops?

GL

ANSWER: This type of climate change has the potential to be very profound. 2019 is already setting new records for cold and snowfall. In the center of the USA, the snowfall has risen to more than double that of 2000. There are many influences it has produced historically and the summer crop seasons grow shorter and dryer. Historically, this results in starvation in some areas but primarily malnutrition. That sets the stage for the rise of disease and plagues.

The Black Death was preceded by the Wolf Global Cooling where temperatures dropped by nearly 20% from the Medieval Warming period. As temperatures decline, the crop cycle shortens. In fact, so many people died during the 1300s that this brought an end to feudalism because there was a shortage of labor.

The Little Ice Age followed the Wolf Global Cooling. We can see that the price of wheat began to break out in 1545. Keep in mind that our model was created by pulling in everything we could get our hands on and correlating the entire world. When our model is showing Global Cooling and a pending bull market in the price of food, it is something rather important enough to put on the agenda. During the 1700s, even Thomas Jefferson and John Adams commented on how the ground froze to a depth of 2 feet. Nothing will grow under such conditions.

Founder of Green Peace calls AOC a “Little Twit”


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate

Re-Posted Mar 1, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

 

There are some sensible Democrats who seem to afraid of coming out to criticize AOC. The real question becomes, will she take the Democrats down in flames? We will have to start running the models for 2020. The assumption here is that this is all human-induced. Nobody ever heard of nature or cycles.

A Technical Study in the Relationships of Solar Flux, Water, Carbon Dioxide and Global Temperatures, January 2019


From the attached report on climate change for January 2019 we have the two charts showing how much has the global temperature actually gone up since we started to measure CO2 in the atmosphere? To show this graphically Chart 8 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 about 30.0% from 1958 to October of 2018. 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) are almost un-measurable. The scale on the right side had to be expanded 10 times (the range is 40 % on the left and 4% 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 .30%; while CO2 has increased by 30.0% which is 100 times that of the increase in temperature. So is there really a meaningful link between them that would give as a major problem? The numbers tell us no there isn’t.

The next chart is Chart 8a which is the same as Chart 8 except for the scales which are the same for both CO2 and Temperature. As you see the increase in energy, heat, is not visually observably in this chart hence the need for the previous chart 8 to show the minuscule increase in thermal energy shown by NASA in relationship to the change in CO2. Based to these trends, determined by excel not me, in 2028 CO2 will be 428 ppm and temperatures will be 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 twenty years.

Unstoppable Solar Cycles – Full Video

When Erik the Red first arrived in Greenland, the fertile green land was perfect for farming. But within a few centuries the thriving Viking settlements had been wiped out by global cooling. The Little Ice Age is one of many climactic eras that have been scientifically identified. Since about 1850 the earth has been in a warming period. What is the role of carbon dioxide in warming? The best available records of temperature and atmospheric CO2 over the past 650,000 years indicate that the earth’s temperature always rises first, followed by a rise in carbon dioxide. If a warmer earth leads to increased levels of CO2 – and not the other way around – can humans’ use of fossil fuels be the cause of global warming? Shouldn’t this critical question remain open to scientific inquiry?
