The religion of climate crisis

 

The “climate crisis” is a religion for people who think they are too educated for religion. Their superstitious belief system cannot be questioned, and their house of cards is built on an inconsistent belief system. Climate cultists worship a priesthood called “the science,” and put blind trust in government authority by recycling the same tireless talking points, slapping labels like “denier” on people they even marginally disagree with, and trying to censor opposition with frivolous lawsuits against oil companies or blacklisting scientists from employment. Cult members believe that government can set the global mean temperature to some arbitrary, preferred value to make “bad weather” go away. The amount of human suffering is dependent on that one metric, despite modern technology that allows us to prepare and mitigate the effects of disasters better than any time in human history, which has resulted in a 96% drop in natural disaster deaths since the 1920s.


Temperature extremes

None of these are recent, despite the alarmist media that supports alarmist politicians and the business interests who fund them.

On July 9, 2021, California's Death Valley reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit, according to an automated measuring system there, representing one of the highest temperatures ever recorded on the planet. The world record, also recorded at Death Valley, was 134 degrees in July 1913.

More than 210 degrees Fahrenheit separates the highest and the lowest temperatures on record in the United States, the third-largest country in the world. As some states are infamous for having blistering hot summers, others become inundated by winter storms and frigid cold. The contiguous U.S. had its warmest meteorological summer (June-Aug.) on record in 2021, according to NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information.

Stacker consulted data from the NOAA's State Climate Extremes Committee (SCEC) to illustrate the hottest and coldest temperatures ever recorded in Oregon.
