Dear Mr. Leake, you write "the Arctic region was 11-19C warmer than the present day", and you translate it for American reader as "66 degrees warmer". It should read "20-34F warmer". Please redo your math before too many people see this embarrassing gaffe. Next time, please have your coauthor proofread the calculations in your writings before you post them.

Many thanks for your correction. I should have waited till morning (with a fresher eyes and mind) to post my reflections -- lifelong weakness in converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.

No worries. Climate scientists and the media still haven’t apologized for predicting an ice age in the 1970s. https://www.washingtonpolicy.org/publications/detail/today-its-global-warming-in-the-70s-it-was-the-coming-ice-age

Sorry but "44 degrees Fahrenheit" is still incorrect, Mr. Leake -- either at the top or the bottom. I gave you the right verbiage, it should read "20-34F warmer". As Mr. Arner has pointed out, you confused a C to F temperature conversion with a ΔC to ΔF conversion. The latter is always a factor of 1.8. As I said, next time you may want have your M.D. coauthor proofread the calculations in your writings before you post them.

Thanks, will triple check my Celsius to Fahrenheit conversation next time.

Good grief, yes its important to get it right, its always equally important in a humanity sense in how you point this out.

Exactly. 19C was converted as an absolute temperature ((C x 9F/5C)+32F) rather than a differential (C x 9F/5C).

I just wanted to post the same thing.

The major point is it was a lot warmer, by an enormous percentage. Even when corrected. So is the correct figure not significant?

We can wait for you to figure it out on your calculator and for your staff to proof read your answer.

Thanks for participating.

Hey Billy.

You’re welcome!

My point (as well as that of the first commenter) was that messing up a simple C to F temperature conversion (in this case the CHANGE in temperature), destroys the author’s credibility in matters of science.

Accuracy matters. Getting the easy stuff wrong leaves considerable doubt about the rest.

Furthermore, reporting only the maximum figure when the source material gives a range is disingenuous. It means the reporter is attempting to exaggerate the results. Not very scientific.

Yes, 19 C equals 66 F.

I always use this formula in my head: C°=(F°-32)x5:9, so conversely, F°=C°x9:5+32.

Did you see how the Guardian article author snuck in the funding as a reason to consider genetic modification of species in response to climate change?

Is everyone a shill for genetic modification giants?

Expand full comment

Just saw this... My same reaction...

This may be the underlying motivation for "genetic engineering" of the human race. The present plan will hasten "evolution" by ridding TPTB of the useless eaters who are "genetically inferior". Those that survive the emerging universal vaxxx schemes (actually "genetic engineering programs") will be more "climate resistant" and modified to be more manageable. It is interesting that TPTB have also been at "geoengineering" for many decades and that meshes with "engineering" of the planet for their own purposed which is simply power and control.

Yep. And they want to start a nuclear climate war with Russia in order to further this bogus totalitarian agenda as they've done with the plandemic. Sick

John, I think most people would make the conversion of C to F temperature "difference" incorrectly. You were thinking about absolute temperatures like we do very frequently, not temperature differences which is not a regular exercise. The easy way to remember how to convert temperature "differences" is to remember 1C of temperature difference is equals 1.8F of temperature difference. Thus, 11C is 11x1.8= 19.8F and 19C is 19x1.8=34.2F, ---->19.8-34.2 F. Getting back to the important point of your interesting post. What is the ideal temperature of the earth? Is the ideal temperature during the little ice age, ~1450-1850? Why is the modest warming we have experienced in the past 150 years all bad, I can think of a few reasons why it is good? Why is the atmospheric C02 concentration increasing from 270 to 400 ppm all bad? I can think of a few reasons why it is good. This is analogous to the risk & benefits of getting injected with an mRNA vaccine, you need to consider "both" the risks and the benefits, you cannot not pretend one or the other does not exist. I guess this is not a perfect analogy, I cannot think of any benefit of getting an mRNA shot.

Thanks for this! This is marvelously useful and I thank you for taking the time to share it with me. I also share your reflections about "the risks and benefits." It now seems clear that people in the "Climate Change Countermeasures" business are working in much the same way as the "Covid Countermeasures Complex." Bill Gates is deeply involved in both enterprises.

A reason right here why its good, trees are growing significantly quicker since the 60's.

"Trees have been growing significantly faster since the 1960s. The typical development phases of trees and stands have barely changed, but they have accelerated—by as much as 70 percent. This was the outcome of a study carried out by scientists from Technische Universität München based on long-term data from experimental forest plots that have been continuously observed since 1870. Their findings were published recently in Nature Communications."

Faster tree growth is not necessarily "better."

I can't get boatbuilding lumber or plywood now that is as good as that available 50 years ago. The fine grain, strength, and absence of knots of lumber from 50 years ago was considerably superior. About thirty years ago I had some reclaimed first growth fir from a demolition which was built in about 1920, judging from the dates on the magazines used for insulation. Even the best edge-grain fir currently available is nowhere near the equal of the historic lumber.

One hypothesis for the increased growth rate is the increased CO2 levels over that thespian.

I heard Bjorn Lomborg saying it many times: That some warming may not even be bad… More people die from cold than heat, warmer planet with some greenhouse effect will result in lusher greenery—there is your plant-based food… Etc., etc…

The reason is rather elementary my dear Watson, the cause of earths great climate changes are magnetic pole reversals and we are currently in one as we speak that is likely to happen sometime next year.

Our magnetic pole has been moving away from its natural position since around 1900 and sped up in the 40's and 90's and now moving at 5 miles per month.

If it continues and its clearly showing no signs of stopping it will reach the 40 degree marker, 40 degrees from its original position, sometime in the first 6 months of 2023.

If you research how magnets/magnetism works, many of us believe the 40 degree marker could be the trigger that flips the poles or at the very least will lead to even more earthquakes and volcanos as magnetism shifts our crusts.

Expand full comment

That's bad news if the poles take a while to flip and are weak in the interim. Won't be able to go outside unless you want a really deep tan as Earth's magnetic field deflects a lot of hard radiation.

Say, is that what killed the dinosaurs? Mammals of the day were burrowing creatures. Is that what saved them? (pure speculation)

Expand full comment

Its not pure speculation friend, there is truth in your words but further to that magnetic pole reversals are in my mind very complicated and one could be very different from another.

42,000 years ago during a reversal that lasted just a few hundred years before the poles returned to their natural places the Neanderthals went extinct and its when cave drawings appeared.

I am not afraid of what's coming because I truly believe its part of Gods plan, it will be a trial and tribulation for humanity to over come as we certainly have the knowledge to recover from one.

I am almost of the mind that the injection campaign is meant to thin the herd for whats coming as I am also now of the mind that elites in society know this is coming, likely from hidden texts and knowledge they have kept from humanity.

Have a look here at the 42,000 year ago event.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2268520-earths-magnetic-field-flipping-linked-to-extinctions-42000-years-ago/

I started on this topic years before the covid fraud as I know humans do not cause climate change, I quickly learned many thought similar to me but I have a few different thoughts then some, for instance...

It takes our solar system 205 million years to complete a circle around the milky way, now during these 205 million year journeys we have no idea what forces our solar system may come into contact with and on top of that, something that is there in one trip, same a massive black hole, may not be there on subsequent journeys.

Our planet is roughly 4.5 billion years old and at 205 million years we have made about 24 circles of the milky way. This would easily account for ice ages and other dramatic climate change events in earths history.

I believe magnetism is the greatest force in the universe and very likely that black holes are just one side of a magnet. We also now know that magnetism connects at least some galaxies together so imagine of our solar system were to travel through one of these and or as I alluded to above come close to some exceptionally large object like another sun or massive planet that dwarfs even the sun.

The magnetic pull on our north and south poles as well as the suns and any other planet would be enormous. It would clearly cause our plates to shift and deep below move magma around and is likely the reason why volcanos go 'extinct' and who some extinct volcanos come back to life.

Incidentally, in the last few months a super volcano in New Zealand has awakened for the first time in our history of discovering it.

We are in biblical times friend and while I had planned to move where I currently live to offer some protection from what I believe is coming our good Lord had other plans and sped the timeline up greatly. I lost my job of 28 years because I refuse to comply with this tyranny.

It was not for the injection, that was a non-starter from day one but my company wanted me to be tested 3 times a week so i could go to work, NEVER WILL I COMPLY WITH TYRANNY.

There is much more to this story but I will keep this part short, I had a life in Oct.2021 and now I have a completely new life thats better in every single measurable way AND I make less money then my old job.

Best part is now we live in Gods country about an hour north of North Bay in Ontario, Canada and surrounded by fresh water lakes and food, have crown land in our back yard and the best part is we are 1100 feet above sea level and we have the Great Canadian Shield of solid rock below us.

God is great and may He watch over and protect all the truth givers in the world as we endure these trials and tribulations.

The best is yet to come.

Agree 100%. Have suspected these “elites” - not as smart as they think they are and infected with toxic narcissism and vast hubris - have known what you describe. They plunge ahead boorishly and have no idea of their own weakness driven fear and evil. None of them can be remotely trusted. What species besides humans destroys their own? I will take the fierce justice of a wolf pack before this. Their underground palaces won’t help them.

You are very welcome but be fore warned of the massive censorship hiding information from us. The fact NASA barely even speaks of our rapidly moving magnetic pole is enough on its own for me to be curious. Much like how people were/are supposedly dying from a virus and YET we can NOT use Ivermectin or HCQ to try and sabe them.

Like seriously, if they are dying anyways why on Gods green earth would you not try one of these, that and the disappearance of the common cold and flu is what made me see, plus the Canadian level 4 biological lab being infiltrated by Chinese husband and ife team and the Harvard professor and 2 Chinese nationals charged in America.

One of the tragedies of current climate framing is that it reduces complex systems to simple framing - (the problem is carbon, the solution is reducing carbon, by metrics they decide, at whatever cost).

Focusing on temperatures (either to prove or disprove climate change), is also reductionist. (Although focusing on the hypocrisy of The Guardian, on the other hand ... )

I know climate is being used as pretext for totalitarian control, and keeping people divided about this is part of their strategy. With covid, there was / is an actual pathogen, and an actual need to look out for each other, but they manipulated those real things to associate safety with poisonous pharma interventions, and looking out for each other with submitting to dangerous experiments and coercing others to also. But the ones who came from the place of "there is no virus", weren't taken seriously.

I worry that with climate it will be the same thing, and it will be too easy to associate the wise voices warning of social credit cricket eating autoritarianism with being in denial that humans are having serious impacts on the planet.

Interesting point from Charles Eisenstein, about temperature fluctuations .. in the past, there were more healthy ecosystems on Earth's surface helping with resiliency to temperature fluctuations. One of his points with this book is that the focus on carbon is harmful in so many ways, and leaves us blind to the bigger picture of causes of environmental problems, as well as trojan horses in their supposed solutions ...

https://charleseisenstein.org/books/climate-a-new-story/eng/the-emissions-obsession/

"One challenge that climate change skeptics sometimes pose is that CO2 levels and temperatures were much higher in past epochs than today, and the planet did just fine. The standard rejoinder is that never before have CO2 levels risen this abruptly. Whether or not that is true, I think it overlooks a more important issue: where did the biosphere’s historical resiliency come from? It came from healthy living ecosystems. Life creates the conditions for life, and the modern era has been an era of unprecedented death. . . .

Ecosystem disruption has turned many areas from carbon sinks into carbon sources. Likewise, the skeptics are right that CO2 levels were several times higher millions of years ago, and that Earth’s climate undergoes natural fluctuations. Tragically, though, habitat degradation, pollution, development, mining, wetlands draining, overfishing, extermination of predators, and so forth have created conditions where plants and the rest of life are no longer able to fully exercise their capacity to maintain planetary dynamic resiliency. Gaia has the capacity to self-regulate—a capacity we are destroying."

Note “ The work offers clues to how species might adapt, or be genetically engineered”.

Gates et.al. Have established a gene bank for the entire found living world. So these megalomaniacs believe that if everyone and every living thing dies they can simply re-engineer their DNA back alive.

Michael Crichton was a critic of this messing about with DNA and it’s repercussions. Hence Jurassic Park.

If we really go to Net Zero CO2 including their plans of extracting it from the atmosphere the results would be - zero Life. And what are the repercussions of their climate engineering? Almost like terraforming of the atmosphere with microscopic particles of aluminum, barium, etc?

Not to worry. Modern Dr Moreau’s will simply choose the living things they like and start the world again. I believe Harrari suggested they could be G*d with Noah’s arc.

Only the worst of humanity would survive their apocalypse- sociopaths and psychopaths plus servant slaves.

There are some who believe that Atlantis was destroyed because they messed around with human DNA and tried to change Gods work.

Its why I believe God is going to allow the coming magnetic pole reversal, that and the modern day world is essentially a modern day Sodom and Gomora.

In Genesis G*d destroyed the earth to rid it of the monster race of the Nephalim. The (dark) angels found the women of Man pleasing so lay with them. Thus they destroyed the purity of Human DNA.

These madmen and their beholden scientists who rule over the globe are like Giants of Wealth and power. And they aim to manipulate our DNA for their chosen outcomes.

To create monsters.

Like you I see the world so corrupted that a cataclysmic event to cleanse the globe is what’s necessary.

But I think of my grandchildren and consider there is so much beauty and miracles here that I want a different future for them than The Apocalypse.

I am of the same mind but I believe as we talk God is protecting and putting those He deems worthy to places of safety. I do not believe as some do that it will be the end of the world, in pockets around the globe it will sure seem that way, such as California but life and humanity will march on through the unvaccinated.

I worry for my 2 boys as well as they are like most young people when I bring up the topic of God.

So while our love for them is unconditional we can not speak for how God views them.

Right, there is no man made Global Warming, The climate always changed and has nothing to do with human activities.
