The goal of the "climate crisis" narrative isn't about "saving the planet" but rather ushering in policies to comply with the radical "green agenda" goals of a handfull of unelected globalist elites representing the interests of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations, World Health Organization (WHO), and other non-governmental organizations. Typically, meeting these "climate" goals involved stripping the public of their freedoms and rights to make the global masses easier to control by the few.  In recent weeks, the fear-mongering has been ramped up significantly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The corporate media is awash with reports of heatwaves all around the world along with wildfires in Canada. Despite wildfires and heatwaves having existed on Earth long before humans did, we are now expected to believe that they are happening today because the climate has drastically changed over the past 100 years due to "man-made global warming."  But the underlying facts that prove its nonsensical nature turn out to be well rooted in science. Veteran meteorologist Anthony Watts of the Heartland Institute has been studying the weather and the climate in general for a very long time. He travels around the country inspecting meteorological equipment and studies historical weather data from around the world.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Watts has been trying to warn the public that wildfires are common in many parts of North America, despite what the corporate media claims. He notes that in the 21sr century, there have actually been far fewer wildfires than in the past. They're just getting more attention from the press and on social media. That's not the most disturbing part of the story, however. When discussing the "modest warning" that the planet has exhibited, the claims must be backed by solid data. But as Dr. Watts has examined weather stations around the country, he has discovered that the available data may be nearly useless when attempting to quantify very slight changes in average temperatures.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The claims about warming are completely flawed because more than 90% of the data is "corrupted," Watts warns.  And the reason for that is the reality that the vast majority of thermometers that NOAA relies on are improperly installed and maintained. This leads to the recording of artificially higher temperatures. In order to produce accurate temperature readings based on NOAA's own published standards, thermometers are supposed to be in natural, "pristine" locations such as fields, forests, or hilltops. However, Dr. Watts research has revealed that more than 90% of NOAA thermometers are inappropriate places. 90% are in parking lots, on buildings, against brick walls, or in other artificial environments.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The bricks, asphalt, and other human construction materials used in these environments artificially trap heat, leading to a "warming bias" in the collected data. Thermometers placed in natural settings register lower average temperatures. That's not to say that the cities, parking lots, and highways aren't warmer. They clearly are. But it's not because the planet overall is getting warmer. It's because we build things that trap and retain more heat than Mother Nature would capture and retain if left to her own devices. These areas also have multiple man-made influences on temperatures such as vehicles, heaters and air conditioning units, subways, and more people, etc.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Sadly, these facts are ignored by corporate media reports on the so-called "climate crisis." Data showing that global temperatures are not increasing wouldn't make any money for people like "climate czar" John Kerry and his private jet-setting friends, so you'll never hear then endorse it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               FRANK BERGMAN - SLAYNEWS.COM
