Epoch Times Interviews Sussman: Climate Change and the Communist Connection

The well-known conservative media outlet, Epoch Times, has just released their extensive video interview with me regarding the connection between human-caused climate change (of which there is no such thing) and communism.  It was so inspiring to meet with the crew in their Silicon Valley studio as most of them had fled communist countries for a life of freedom in the United States of America.

Trust me, that same anti-communist theme was sown into the fabric of my being as my grandfather escaped pre-Soviet Russian (Lenin was just rising to power) as a teen. I was taught as a young boy to loath communism and progressivism.  My latest book, Climate Cult  is really the result of my upbringing. In the interview with Epoch Times, I clearly reveal the originators of the climate agenda, all of whom were communists.

Here’s a link to the Epoch Times segment with me. PLEASE share, and thanks!

Too Hot, Too Fast? Reviewing the Facts…

According to a recent article in the New York Times:

The world is getting hotter, faster. A report published last week found that human-caused global warming is now increasing…

The article, entitled, The World is Warming Up. And It’s Happening Fast, is nothing more than another desperate attempt by lame leftist influencers who are trying to frighten the uniformed into further submission. In fact, as I reveal in my most recent book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property, promoting unfounded fear has always been the primary strategy of socialists and communists.

Thankfully, the Trump administration, the Republican Party, and the MAGA movement at large is having nothing to do with it.

Nonetheless, we need to be on guard and ready to defend our position.

The “getting hotter, faster” mantra is based upon an unfounded doctrine that the world is fast approaching a temperature threshold that has never been crossed before. However, as I illustrate in Climate Cult, that prediction is total bunk. My conclusion is based on facts, not fiction. Boosting my confidence is a man who has provided us with the most prolific voice to swim upstream from the global warming gobbledygook. His name is John Clauser, and he is no slacker.

In fact, Dr. Clauser was the 2022 Nobel Prize recipient for physics.

While writing Climate Cult, Clauser joined another Nobel laureate and over 1,600 professionals in signing the World Climate Declaration (WCD) organized by Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL).  This powerful declaration asserts that there is no “climate emergency,” that climate change science is not conclusive, and that the earth’s history over thousands of years shows a consistently changing climate.

As I share in Climate Cult, Clauser states:

“I read all of the various [United Nations’ International Panel on Climate Change] reports [and the] National Academy reports on this.  As a physicist, I’d worked at some excellent institutions — Caltech, Columbia, Cal Berkeley — where very careful science needed to be done.  And reading these reports, I was appalled at how sloppy the work was.  And in particular, it was very obvious, even in the earliest reports, and all carried on through to the present, that clouds were not at all understood.…It’s just simply bad science.”

Focusing on the inherent weaknesses of the climate models used to forecast supposed climate change, Clauser continues, “I believe I have the missing piece of the puzzle that has been left out in virtually all of these computer programs.  And that is the effect of clouds.”

Clauser contends such modeling presents something akin to fiction. “That’s a totally artificial Earth.  It is a totally artificial case for using a model, and this is pretty much what the IPCC and others use — a cloud-free earth.”

Friends, a “cloud-free earth” may well be the biggest scientific scam in history!

Can you believe it? These computer models, that supposedly predict the end of the world, are not just incapable of replicating cloud cover in their various illustrations but they’re unable to predict the effects that clouds have in relationship to temperature.

As I contend in Climate Cult:

This is a huge win for climate truth, which the propagandists suppress from their congregants.  Such blatant censorship is emblematic of a cult, intended to perpetuate a continual state of fear, which is needed to keep the masses moving in the proper direction and allow the climate change high priests to continue their indoctrination of humanity.

I encourage you to arm yourself with the truth and pick up a copy of Climate Cult right away. And thanks.

UPDATES – The Southern California Fires: Not Climate Change 

Updated Friday, January 10 –

Fire officials in Southern California are investigating the causes of several wildfires that have destroyed homes and businesses primarily located in Los Angeles County.

The initial blaze—The Palisades Fire—was reported at 10:30AM Tuesday and has scorched thousands of acres in and around the beach towns of Santa Monica and Malibu. This fire was preceded by an Extreme Warning from the National Weather Service in Los Angeles as early as Thursday, January 2, which warned of “a particularly dangerous situation – in other words this is as bad as it gets in terms of fire weather.”

The Weather Service then forecast winds blowing to 100MPH.

The naturally occurring atmospheric scenario responsible for this event has nothing to do with so-called “global warming” or “climate change.”

The conditions are meteorologically referred to as “downslope” winds. In the Los Angeles region they are known as “Santa Ana Winds” and blow from land to sea, across the Santa Ana mountains (5600’) on the eastern edges of the Los Angeles and into the Pacific Ocean. As the winds sweep down the mountainside they naturally warm and dry the air making for ideal fire conditions. These winds generally occur in the cooler months when air from a high-pressure system in the Desert Southwest flows westward towards a low-pressure system in the Pacific off the California coast.

Similar wind scenarios are often found north of Los Angeles in Santa Barbara where the events are called “Sundowner Winds.”

Later on Tuesday, around 6:30PM, the Eaton Fire broke out in Altadena near Pasadena and swelled to more than 10,000 acres. By 10:30 that night a smaller blaze, The Hurst Fire, ignited in Sylmar, in the San Fernando Valley northwest of downtown Los Angeles and consumed about 500 acres. Altogether there are at least six major fires in the region.

The cause of all the blazes remain under investigation, according to Cal Fire. However it has been determined that at least one fire was arson; in fact there have been several credible reports of  arson, several which include video.

The powerful Santa Ana winds are likely to continue through the weekend.

Aside from the tremendous winds, the fires were able to initially grow out of control because of what I described in my 2012 book, Eco-Tyranny, as being part of an “earth-first” mentality that has overtaken common sense within California’s environmental practices (it’s occurring in other states as well). In the case of the Los Angeles fires, forests in California are never properly cleared or manicured, making for wild overgrowth and fire potential. Additionally, as we have learned, in the name of budget cuts the County of Los Angeles allowed its residential fire hydrants to go untested. As a result, hundreds of hydrants were found to be inoperable when they were finally needed this week.

Hurricane Facts vs Climate Fiction

This article by Brian Sussman originally appeared at American Thinker

Following two back-to-back hurricanes that severely pummeled the Southeastern United States, climate activists have swooped in like vultures, blaming political conservatives for the destruction wrought by Helene and Milton. At MSNBC, Chris Hayes spouts, “We have known for decades that our planet is warming and that we would start seeing the brutal effects. But conservatives remain so deep in their denial that they are flailing around for anyone or anything else to blame.”

While many attempt to falsely connect hurricanes to anthropogenic climate change, the truth is these monster storms are a natural and necessary function of our planet’s atmosphere. But that didn’t prevent CNN from posting a piece wildly declaring, “Helene was supercharged by ultra-warm water made up to 500 times more likely by global warming.”

Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean traditionally begins on June 1, as the waters near the equator warm generally have warmed to near 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the minimum temperature required for a hurricane to form. Water temperature is often considered the fuel for a hurricane because as the warm water evaporates it subsequently condenses within the storm releasing latent heat. However, there are a multitude of other factors that must be present for hurricane formation including a storm’s distance from the equator, light winds blowing into the center of the storm, high humidity values, and something we refer to as the “saturated adiabatic lapse rate” which is basically the rate at which saturated air cools with altitude. When all of these ingredients are in perfect sync, a hurricane begins to form.

Dr. Neil Frank, longtime head of the National Hurricane Center, contends the total number hurricanes each year ebbs and flows in sixty-year cycles. On the average, each year there are ten tropical storms (wind speeds less than 74-mph) that develop over the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Six of these storms become hurricanes (wind speeds of 74-mph or more).  In an average 3-year period, roughly five hurricanes strike the United States coastline, killing approximately 50 to 100 people anywhere from Texas to Maine. Of these, two are typically major hurricanes (winds greater than 110 mph).

The cover endorsement for my recent book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty and Property, was written by Dr. Frank. He contends there is no evidence suggesting we are seeing more hurricanes than ever (over the past 170 years of records), and he insists the frequency and intensity of hurricanes has not changed over years.  Additionally, Dr. Frank reminds us that hurricanes are a beneficial component of the overall global atmosphere as they act as mechanisms which draw hot air from the earth’s equatorial regions into the jet stream which then transports the natural warmth to the colder latitudes. This allows for expansive and comfortable temperate zones, where most of us live.

But why do recent storms seem worse than ever?

The answer is threefold.

First, there is no doubt property damage, in terms of dollars, is on the rise. This trend is driven by the continued development of expensive property along the coasts putting more value at risk of wind and water damage. Also, flooding has increased due to residential and commercial properties edging right up to the water’s edge. Under these modern circumstances, any given hurricane would cause more damage than it would have in the past. Sadly, the same could be said for the number of lives lost during these storms.

Second is media coverage. Back when I was presenting the weather for both CBS-TV News and KPIX-TV in San Francisco, content producers knew severe weather gains eyeballs. It’s still true on TV today.

Third, there is the ad nauseam, agenda driven propaganda put forth by activists attempting to pin their climate fiction hoax on deadly hurricanes.  

But why is Florida seemingly often in the crosshairs?

Because the “Sunshine State” is a sitting duck. It’s a 500-mile long, 160-mile-wide peninsula extending into the warm waters of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico with 1,146 miles of coastline and an average elevation of a mere 100-feet. Given that the average hurricane is about 300-miles-wide, the Florida peninsula is a prime target for potential disaster. As a result, during this 2024 season, of the nine hurricanes formed to date, four have hit the United States with two terribly striking Florida.

Hurricane Helene: Nothing To Do With Climate Change

Yes, Hurricane Helene was awful.

No, the massive storm had nothing to do with s0-called “climate change.”

However, according to the propagandists at CNN this past Sunday:

For decades now, scientists have been warning us that extreme weather events will be exacerbated by this blanket of carbon pollution we’ve been wrapping around our planet,” said Katharine Hayhoe, chief scientist at the Nature Conservancy. “But as a human, it is shocking to see the devastation occurring in front of our eyes, affecting the people and places we know and love.

The lead endorsement for my new book, Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty and Property, was penned by Dr. Neil Frank, the former Director of the National Hurricane Center (a position he held for twenty years). He would be the first to agree that Helene was a powerful storm, but it must be noted, she developed in what was otherwise very sleepy hurricane season. Dr. Franks would also remind us that there have been significantly more stronger, dangerous, and deadly hurricanes that have hit the United States over the past 150 years.

Of course, none of that matters to liars in the media who are part of  an agenda to destroy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Hurricanes are an important natural function of the global environment. They provide a means for warm air in the tropical regions to be transported to the colder northern latitudes. This allows for, among other things, healthier and more abundant plant life which absorbs carbon dioxide and emits oxygen.

And by the way, in retort to the idiot from the Nature Conservancy quoted in the CNN piece, that “blanket of carbon pollution” she speaks of is–as I describe in my book–extremely thin.  Carbon dioxide accounts for a mere .04 percent of the atmosphere and of that only four percent is created by human activity. To help you wrap your brain about those figures, I quote a mathematician from Google in Climate Cult who explains, “for every 62,000 molecules in our atmosphere, only one is produced by the use of fossil fuels.”

Bottom line: weather happens. For each day of the year, as far back as the evidence will take us, extreme record weather events are established. Likewise, every day there is a catastrophic weather event that brings forth human tragedy, while at the same time we are able to enjoy breathtaking beauty in the skies above.
