Neil Oliver: “Fear mongering” over high temperatures is an ‘incessant attempt to keep us frightened’

If heat was actually being trapped by CO2, the entire planet would, logically, be getting ever warmer, all over the entire globe, progressively, year by year, all the time, everywhere, all at once.

Nothing like that is observed, so obviously heat is not trapped.

On windless nights with low humidity and no cloud cover, the same thing happens now that has always occurred: The temperature drops rapidly to the dew point, and when the dew point is very low, it very quickly gets very cold, and this radiational cooling bottoms out long before the Sun once again rises to begin a new cycle of diurnal heating and cooling.

IOW, CO2 does not control the temperature, water vapor and clouds do.
Just like always.
We have millions of detailed records of how fast the temperature drops at night, and we have along with this data, records of the amount of moisture in the air, the wind, and cloud cover, at those same places and at those same times.
We have such information from many thousands of locations, on many thousands of separate nights, for this sort of data.

For places at high latitudes above the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, these nights annually extend to several days, weeks, and months.

So where are the studies showing that on nights with identical conditions, it gets less cold than it used to, or even that it gets just as cold but takes longer?

Such studies do not exist, because this is not observed to be occurring.
It would be direct evidence that Warmistas are not completely full of crap and just plain wrong.

There is no global inexorable trend towards hotter weather, or more storms, or more or worse droughts, or worsening crop yields, or increased rates of sea level rise, or of global ocean acidification, or less polar sea ice or smaller ice sheets.

The truth is that the Earth was very much colder for several hundreds years than it was previously in the Holocene, particularly when compared to the warm periods that have occurred about every thousand years since the Holocene Climate Optimum, and we are all the very fortunate beneficiaries of the recovery from that disastrous period of time.
The Little Ice Age was the time of worse droughts, increased storminess, more frequent bouts of unseasonable weather, frequent crop failures and the resultant famines, wars, and disease outbreaks…

One thing that has not changed for as long as we have historical records, is that certain groups of people have always believed that the time they are/were living in, are the end times, that the end of the world is nigh, that doomsday is upon us, etc.

There is nothing new whatsoever about large numbers of people living in fear and panic due to a delusional certainty that the world is ending.

There is nothing new about people being in the thrall of religious cults that dictate to their weak-minded supplicants that they must repent for their sinful lives.

The living conditions of people around the world have been in a very long trend of increasing prosperity, longer lifespans, better health, and in general more prosperity and a better future.
And yet, it seems to be easier than ever for doomsday panic mongers to convince large numbers of people that the immediate future holds nothing but the promise and imminence of the actual death and destruction of everyone and everything, everywhere.

No one, anywhere on Earth, is living in a place that is objectively in a state of crisis due to weather or climatic conditions. It simply does not exist. The weather in every place on Earth has been, and is currently, well within normal historical parameters.

The ocean is exactly where it has always been on every beach in every place on Earth.

Crop yields and food production the world over, are at record levels and the trend towards more food, and more food per person, is actually accelerating.

Deaths due to weather related causes have declined by over 99.9% within a mere hundred years, and continue to drop.

Anyone, anywhere, can walk outside in any of these places that are supposedly roastingly hot, and they will see the grass is green, the trees are leafy, the sky is blue, clouds are white, birds sing, animals roam, rain falls wet, and everything is just like always, everywhere, very close to all the time.

Tourists flock to Death Valley to experience the thrill of a slightly hotter than normal desert valley in the hottest part of the hottest day of the hottest month of the year, clutching their water bottles.
People young and old, male and female, amateurs and professionals, prepare excitedly to head to the Badwater Basin this weekend for the annual Badwater Ultramarathon, where they will run through such places as Furnace Creek, RUN for 135 miles straight, day and night. Because all…ALL… any human needs to not just survive, but thrive and engage in days-long footraces, in the hottest place on Earth, at the hottest time of year, is some sneakers and some water. Most will also carry a few ounces of nylon clothing I suppose.

The decades-long mass migration in the US from more northerly locations continues apace, showing no signs at all of slowing. Millions a year vote with their feet and go where the Sun shines hot for almost all of the year.

Years-long droughts end in floods, and reservoirs refill almost overnight, just like always.

Several weeks from now, the Sun will set at the North pole, not to rise again for 6 months. By then, it will be snowing in the mountains, people will be ruing the brief Summer being over, jacket and coat weather will once again be a fact of life half the country, The sea ice will have stopped decreasing and begin to grow again, perpetuating for another year the vast frozen hellscape wasteland of the Arctic.
The mammoths buried in permafrost will continue to lay where they fell all those thousands of years ago, entombed in ice right where they fell and died with green grass still in their mouths. The miles high ice pile covering most of Greenland will get a few feet thicker, just like has long been the case.

What is it about us, what is it about human beings, that allow us to be smart enough to build machines to fly through the air hundreds at a time, to travel to the Moon and get home in one piece, to conquer diseases that have existed for millions of years, to make some squiggles on paper and thereby deduce that Energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light, squared, to MEASURE the speed of light, deduce the nature and structure of things so small no one will ever be able to actually see them…to all of these things, and so much more, like figuring out how to make it so one person can grow enough food for a city full of people without breaking a sweat…and yet are so stupid, that a bunch of liars can convince people who have nothing to worry about of any greater consequence than whether to have steak or chicken tonight, that they need to glue themselves to a highway in order to prevent the world from ending in a few years?

Why are people so easy to dupe, that they will ignore literally everything that their eyes and their sense tell them, and believe, without a single shred of evidence, in a complete fantasy version of reality, told by people who have never been correct in their entire lives about a single thing they have predicted?

How can people who hate cold weather, and will work all year to travel to the hottest place they can afford to go for a few short days and nights, who have for every day of their lives experienced the temp fluctuating by several tens of degrees, and every year they have existed, shrugged off as barely even inconvenient, annual temperature swings over 100 degrees, also believe uncritically that if the weather gets a few tenths of a degree warmer, it is going to be the end of the world?

What the Hell is wrong with people?
