The global-warmers and their comrades in the media got a big treat in August as Tropical Storm Hilary (sounds scary already) hit southern California. Despite what the “journalists” had to say, similar events have occurred in California before. In 1985, remnants of Hurricane Guillermo created rain that quenched a forest fire near San Jose. In 1976, the Los Angeles area was his with remnants of a tropical storm, killing quite a few people; and in 1936 (perhaps hottest year ever recorded), a tropical storm smashed San Diego, creating millions in property damage and claiming the lives of quite a few people as well.
Of course, the media was all about trying to tie Hilary to climate change.
Total bunk.
Really? Let’s begin with the biggest storms on earth, hurricanes. Are there going to be more, because so far there aren’t?
Dr. William Gray was a friend of mine; prior to his death in 2016, he was unquestionably the world’s foremost hurricane forecaster. He founded the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University in the 1960s, where he developed the fine art of forecasting hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin, including the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous times Dr. Gray told my radio audience, “I am of the opinion that global warming is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people.”
Gray’s opinion was not based on a gut feeling—it was founded on science. And he was not alone. “All my colleagues that have been around a long time—I think if you go to ask the last four or five directors of the National Hurricane Center—we all don’t think this is human-induced global warming,” said Dr. Gray.
Indeed, another pioneer in hurricane research, and a thirteen-year Director of the National Hurricane Center, Dr. Neil Frank, told the Washington Post, “It’s a hoax.”
In terms of a count, since we started keeping track of these storms, the years with the most major hurricanes have been 1950 (8), 2005 (7), and in 1999, ‘96, ’64, ’61, ‘55, and ‘26 there were six each year. The only apparent trend with hurricanes is that there is no trend associated with warming or change.
Additional hurricane stats that defy the climate change narrative:
Deadliest: More than 8,000 people perished September 8, 1900, when a Category 4 hurricane barreled into Galveston, Texas, destroying more than half of the city’s homes.
Highest Winds: A hurricane slammed into the Florida Keys during Labor Day, 1935. Sustained winds reached 200 mph with higher gusts. 408 residents died.
Biggest Surge: In 1969, Hurricane Camille produced a 25-foot storm surge that swept far inland into Mississippi and Alabama. Camille was the strongest storm ever strike mainland America. The hurricane caused the deaths of 256 people.
Earliest and latest: The hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30; the earliest observed hurricane in the Atlantic was on March 7, 1908, while the latest observed hurricane was on December 31, 1954. The earliest hurricane to strike the United States hit northwest Florida, June 9, 1966. The latest was November 30, 1925, near Tampa, Florida.
Hurricanes are a necessary component of the earth’s overall atmosphere, responsible for transferring heat from the equatorial regions to the higher latitudes which are naturally much colder. Hurricane’s balance out the global temperatures
At the end of the day, God has got this weather thing handled. Psalm 19:1 tells us: The heavens tell of the glory of God; And their expanse declares the work of His hands.

Our green President, Joe Biden, caused a massive traffic backup on the Capital Beltway, leaving hundreds of stagnant drivers, including some of his supporters, fuming last week.
Biden and his motorcade were driving to a fundraiser in Maryland, and sections of I-495 were cordoned off to make way.
The lane closures came during the evening rush hour, and wreaked havoc on commuters. Traffic became stagnant for hours , causing backups more than five miles long. That’s a lot of carbon dioxide from those evil combustion engine cars, which climate activists claim is causing massive global warming and setting the earth on fire. This is especially ironic considering the Biden Administration’s super aggressive stance on climate change.
To calculate a rough estimate of just how much CO2 Biden’s traffic jam might have unleashed into the environment, the Media Research Center reached out to environmental and public health consultant Steve Milloy, founder and publisher of JunkScience.com.
An idling car burns half a gallon of gasoline per hour, which produces ten pounds of carbon dioxide, Milloy explained. Hypothetically, Milloy calculated, if 1,000 cars had idled for an hour, they would have produced roughly five tons of carbon dioxide – the average amount of CO2 emitted by a single car in an entire year.
This graph from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), posted by Patrick Moore (co-founder of Greenpeace), illustrates that while CO2 has indeed risen since the late 1800s, the temperature has NOT.
The black line is CO2, the red line in temperature.
Enjoy!
Record heat waves are nothing new on planet Earth; neither are record cold waves. In fact, climate change is as old as the Earth itself.
Allow me to get nerdy for a moment, and let’s assume (like most present day researchers) that Earth has been around for millions of years.
Earth’s climate has changed multiple times over these many years, and there have been times when carbon dioxide (CO2 ) levels were incredibly higher than today. Evidence for this significant climate change is preserved in a wide range of geological settings, including marine and lake sediments, ice sheets, fossil corals, stalagmites, fossil tree rings, and even the colorful layers of rock and dirt found in the walls of the Grand Canyon.
Earth’s climate has been gradually cooling for most of the last 50 million years. At the beginning of that cooling (in the early Eocene epoch), the global average temperature was about 6 to 7 ºC warmer than today. Can’t blame fossil fuels for that!
About 34 million years ago, at the end of the Eocene, ice caps came together to form a continental ice sheet on Antarctica. In the northern hemisphere, as global cooling continued, ice caps and mountain glaciers gradually gave way to large ice sheets around 2.6 million years ago.
Over the past 2.6 million years (the Pleistocene and then the Holocene epoch), Earth’s climate has been on average colder than today, and often much colder. That period is known as the “Ice Age”, a series of glacial episodes separated by short warm interglacial periods that lasted between 10,000-30,000 years. We are currently living through one of these interglacial periods. The present warm period in which we currently live (the Holocene) became established only 11,500 years ago. Since then our climate has been relatively stable and although we currently lack the large Northern Hemisphere ice sheets of the Pleistocene there are of course still large ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica.
This epoch has been ideal for human life with the tropics and temperate areas able to produce vast amounts of food when managed properly. In fact, the slight warming we have experienced since the mid-1800s (about 1 degree Fahrenheit) has allowed the farming zones to expand, which has better served a growing population.
More nerdy stuff: it should be noted that relatively rapid global warming has occurred in the past. About 55 million years ago, at the end of the Paleocene, there was a sudden warming event in which temperatures rose by about 6 °C globally and by 10-20 °C at the poles. Again, there were no cars or coal plants to make this occur. Carbon isotopic data show that this warming event (called by some the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum) was accompanied by a major release of 1500-2000 billion tons or more of carbon ( and 5550-7400 billion tons or more of CO2) into the ocean and atmosphere; man, many times higher than today. It took the Earth’s climate around 100,000 years to stabilize. Remember, carbon dioxide has a cycle just like water does, only it’s much slower.
As for the warming over the last 11,500 of years: it will all come to a halt and eventually this earth will become uninhabitable.
Why?
On January 3rd, 2019, Earth reached the point in its orbit where it was closest to the Sun: the perihelion. Every object orbiting a single mass (like our sun) makes an ellipse, containing a point of closest approach that’s unique to that particular orbit.
But there’s something you may not expect or appreciate that nevertheless occurs: Earth’s orbital path doesn’t remain the same over time, but spirals outward. In 2019 our perihelion was 1.5 centimeters farther away than it was last year, which was more distant than the year before. This drifting will continue. It’s not just Earth, either; every planet eventually drifts away from its parent star.
Associated with this are the Milankovitch Cycles. These cycles describe the effects of the shape of the Earth’s orbit (eccentricity), the angle of the Earth’s axis with respect to the Earth’s orbital plane (obliquity), and the direction of the Earth’s axis of rotation as just described (precession).
Earth is currently exiting the ideal cycles and is moving in a direction that will eventually allow the global climate quite miserably cold.
Humans certainly are able to influence weather—the day to day stuff that makes the headlines. Heck, we’ve been seeding clouds to produce make rain come or go, and urban heat islands are widely acknowledged, but we are incapable of altering the climate. The orbit of the Earth around the Sun, the predictable timing of the sunrise and sunset, the perfect nature of the tides, the currents of the oceans, the prevailing winds, not to forget the eruption of volcanoes and the gargantuan amounts of methane gas produced by termites, all keep the Earth’s massive climate from machine from failing to do its own thing.
You see, God made the heavens and the earth. He put it all in motion for us.
His counterfeit counterpart, Satan, has caused people to believe they can control what God has created. It’s actually quite arrogant for we mere mortals to believe we can alter a major facet of God’s mighty creation.
