From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
By Paul Homewood
h/t Ian Magness
It is little wonder only a few people believe in this scam any longer, when the UN chief has to resort to moronic talk of “global boiling” to get his agenda across:
We have seen it morph from global warming (that sounds nice!), to climate change. Then to extreme weather, to climate crisis and climate emergency. Then the Guardianistas thought it would be clever to call it global heating. And all to describe the climate we have had for most of the last 10000 years.
Now its global boiling! Have they got any epithets left?
Answers on a postcard, please!
How about Global Meltdown..?
Possibly Scorched Earth?
Scorchio!
The guy is now decades out of date:
How about a headline, “CO2 will cause the Earth to go Supernova in 14 years!”?
Don’t be so conservative

I think the BBC is turning up the volume to 11 on the climate Armageddon knob because here in the UK the summer failed to load so people are starting to wonder what all this global boiling is all about. I just turne the sound down now and wait for the next propaganda feature to come on.
The BBC sent a reporter to the Arctic to check how much sea ice was left, He reported back that the ice had frozen so quickly the ice was still warm.
He could just have gone here:
Looks like a record high going back a few years for the time of year. Melting has paused.
This graph does not match the National Sea and Ice Data Center graph of today
https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/
Each organization has different methods and algorithms they use to compute (IOW take a WAG at) the amount of ice, as well as what amount is historically normal, etc.
Some are no doubt more brazen in their lies and more politically motivated in their propaganda, while some others may in fact be making somewhat of an effort to be at least consistent.
This is what the BBC was running around like a headless chicken about.
Rhodes on fire!
We get worse fires than this on Dartford Heath regularly.
I get bigger blazes in my BBQ
June in the UK was the warmest June on record. The record starts 1884. So, “failed to load”…?
No it wasn’t
“June in the UK was the warmest June on record….”
If you believe that you’ll believe anything.
The Long Hot Summer back in the 1970’s started with a heatwave in May. It was so hot that it was unpleasant simply standing in the shade in the garden. I think the only other heatwave in the UK that was equally unpleasant was well over twenty years ago.
Also temperature records are meaningless due to urban heating. You can only have a valid comparison between today and 1900 if the weather stations were the same. But they’re not. In 1900 most stations were probably surrounded by grass and trees, which have a significant cooling effect. Today more than half of the stations are at airports, which are usually right next to the runway or taxi way. It’s no surprise that many temperature records were set at Heathrow Airport.
Also July has been consistently quite cool. Bit of a puzzler, isn’t it?

“The Long Hot Summer back in the 1970’s started with a lav -heatwave in May. It was so hot that it was unpleasant simply standing in the shade in the garden. I think the only other heatwave in the UK that was equally unpleasant was well over twenty years ago.”
We were playing and rehearsing Tchaikovski 6th in that heatwave in August. It was unforgettable but the conductor was so inspiring we asked for extra rehearsals.
YEAR 1976.
Back home in Oxfordshire by sheer accident I made a graph of the daily temps and rainfall.
As far as I remember it didn’t rain for more than 90 days, and then storms.
We had a well in the garden for our water and the level was low but fine.
The irony, we ran out of water when the heatwave was over – in september/october and had to be fed from a nearby farm.
Here in France – 2023,
we have had a VERY hot mid May-June-Mid July heatwave.
However despite all the government scare tactics of drought, there is no lack of water, and there has been plenty of rain.
Bourgogne is an exception and has a mini climate – considerably warmer from Dijon down…
BUT
then again, we have the post 14-16th august drop in summer temps roughly a month early, with no likelihood of seeing those high 30s again.
+
There was a warm period in Jan-Feb so skiing in the alps was difficult, then it all recovered later in the season.(I ski in MAY)…
…but farmers were complaining again about late frosts again.
In all, a perfectly normal set of WEATHER, nothing remotely approaching the 1976 I remember so well.
And now in the heart of the summer is being gutted with cooler and wetter weather.
I thought this was a “lost in translation” moment. Nope. Does that make it worse?
“Answers on a postcard, please”? Gosh! How quaintly 20th Century…
Ahh… for the good ol’ days.
It’s a British idiom basically means
A brief, concise answer, reply, or opinion, especially one meant as a quick response to a general question.
Not heard as much as it once was these days
It’s 20 C
So, for water to boil the pressure has to be ~0.02 to 0.03 atmospheres
Not likely, is it?
The reason the climate alarmists are getting so strident is that they are losing the intellectual debate and the empirical evidence refutes their meme.
Scary proclamations and name-calling are all they have left.
All they’ve ever had.
Definitely all they have ever had.
They certainly don’t have any evidence to connect CO2 and the behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere and/or weather. None, whatsoever.
Tom, you’re correct about lack of evidence. For instance, how do the CAGW True Believers explain Global Boiling and 10% Greening of the Earth? Lat time I checked (looking out the office window at my lawn now) boiling reduces greening.
Aka religion
Aka religion
I think we’re beyond even “cult” at this point.
It’s not about the climate, its about politics.
The route to global governance is by convincing everyone to vote for the left because they are kind and considerate and are saving the world from the evil climate.
Those nasty right wingers, you know, the sceptical mob who are inclined to critical thought rather than blind obedience, are resisting this because they have a weird concept of personal choice.
The problem is now the bills are beginning to hit the mat for all this ‘safety’ the public is starting to ask questions.
After 50 years of patient indoctrination of the global citizenry, when the finish line hove into view the left couldn’t resist piling on on the coals (pardon the term) and making a dash for it.
Because money is meaningless to the left and ideology is everything, they expected the public to ignore the vast expense and inconvenience caused by heat pumps, EV’s, home insulation, wild energy bills, ULEZ, Hydrogen, 15 minute cities, cycle lanes, and the censorship required to stifle dissent.
The answer to the poverty and misery this would induce is socialism, of course, the ideological solution to everything which, we on the right understands only impoverishes people further.
Ironically salvation from all this may come from BRICS nations. Russians have very fresh memories of the misery of the far-left under Stalin and his successors and don’t want to revisit that. China has been emerging as a capitalist nation in all but governance since Mao’s Great Leap Forward, which is also fresh in their minds.
There are a great many wealthy people in both countries; and whilst some might accuse them of benefitting from state corruption, who can possibly contend the west’s own oligarchs have not themselves thrived on state corruption? How many US, career politicians are millionaires, if not multi millionaires?
Xi announced to the world last year that there would be more change in the coming short term than there has been in the last 100 years. If the BRICS nations launch their own trading currency it means the west loses the ability to print more $Trillions of debt for itself. It will see more contraction of economies than ever seen in history.
Nor do I believe for a moment China and/or Russia want to see western economic collapse, or that they want to dominate us militarily, culturally or politically. We are their biggest customers, and we are doing enough ourselves to culturally change western demographics with unrestricted immigration across western continents. It’s the western Globalist’s wet dream. We don’t see China and Russia opening their borders to all comers.
Change is coming folks, and it’s not climate change, but it is a New World Order, just not the one Klaus Schwab planned for.
Mostly agree. But I would not say money is meaningless to greens or, rather, the Western banking industry driving the artificial investment cycle in green energy and EVs. Also, carbon tax scheme is another permanent goal of greens, which is also money. And money is power, so it is as much about money as about ideology and politics. Regardless of what they say, their thinking is, how can I profit from this now?
Other than personal wealth, money is no object to the left because it’s other peoples money they are determined to spend. And spend it they must or they cannot demand more unless they run up an overdraft.
Every year in the UK, at least, local authorities spend, spend, spend when they approach their financial year end. For example, and the most obvious, road works sprout like early spring flowers. If they don’t spend all their money and more their budget will be cut the following year.
Don’t be misled by either sides propaganda, the banking industry, investing on your behalf, is not particularly interested in climate or anything else. It’s duty bound to return a profit to its investors always maintaining due process. However, they are no more able to predict the future than you or me, so they hedge their bets, always.
When you see lurid accounts of high profile banks and investors (Larry Fink) favouring ESG leaning projects, you can bet your bottom dollar they are balancing that with investments in secure positions elsewhere.
Carbon tax schemes are just another tulip investment banks and investors know will go rapidly south. But it makes sense to make hay while the sun shines. It will be the dumb suckers holding the baby when that particular market bombs. It’s a fad market and everyone in the business knows it.
Money is power when used wisely. Spunk money away, as the left does, and it’s worthless.
Money husbandry, the ability to save more money than you earn is real power.
Imagine a local authority or national government at it’s financial year end, having achieved all it’s community objectives for the year, handing back taxpayers money they hadn’t spent.
How much power would that authority be handed by it’s community to carry on it’s good work.
That’s Democracy as it should work.
You are sorely mistaken. The West is not China’s biggest customer. Even counting Hong Kong, only 37% of China’s GDP is from trade with all partners. The US is 16%, and the EU/UK a fraction of that. It’s mostly with Asian partners, who I’ll admit could be considered Western in political culture.
Below is a list highlighting 15 of China’s top trading partners in terms of export sales. That is, these countries imported the most Chinese shipments by dollar value during 2022. Also shown is each import country’s percentage of total Chinese exports.
United States: US$582.8 billion (16.2% of China’s total exports)Hong Kong: $297.5 billion (8.3%)Japan: $172.9 billion (4.8%)South Korea: $162.6 billion (4.5%)Vietnam: $147 billion (4.1%)India: $118.5 billion (3.3%)Netherlands: $117.7 billion (3.3%)Germany: $116.2 billion (3.2%)Malaysia: $93.7 billion (2.6%)Taiwan: $81.6 billion (2.3%)United Kingdom: $81.5 billion (2.3%)Singapore: $81.2 billion (2.3%)Australia: $78.8 billion (2.2%)Thailand: $78.5 billion (2.2%)Mexico: $77.5 billion (2.2%)Approaching two-thirds (63.7%) of Chinese exports in 2022 was delivered to the above 15 trade partners.
But most of China’s economy is domestic.
Ask Indians, Tibetans, Uighurs, Mongolians, Manchus, Chinese, South Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, Singaporeans, Filipinos, Malaysians, Indonesians, Vietnamese and Thais whether they think China is not a militarist expansionist hegemon. Not to mention Brunei.
For that matter, ask Russians, despite its current alliance of convenience with the expansionist communist regime in China. The CCP’s policy, declared by Mao, is to regain the Siberian territory lost in the unequal treaties of 1860. But its ambitions go far beyond, to all of resource-rich Siberia, with its mere (at most) 30 million inhabitants. Ditto Australia, with even fewer.
Then there is its penetration of west Asia, Africa and Europe via Belt and Road debt slavery.
All the CCP, enemy of all humanity, starting with its own enslaved subjects, needs the West and Taiwan for is to steal our technology in order to defeat and subjugate us as well.
The CCP’s drive for world domination is at risk more from its failing demographics and economic contradictions than from resistance by the decadent, declining West.
Indians, Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchus are all border nations of China. They have border conflicts. What is America/NATO the UK doing in the middle east or Ukraine?
Uighurs are Muslims and responsible for terrorist attacks within China. Perhaps the Chinese thought it better to put them to work rather than imprisoning them and providing the 3 squares a day and an XBox!
South Korea’s problems are with North Korea. A nation independent of China but with a similar purpose to Ukraine, to act as a buffer state between itself and US/NATO hegemony and nuclear missiles pointed at Beijing.
China’s military conflict with Japan ended many generations ago. Meanwhile, Japan is a favoured trading partner of the US, a country it attacked at Pearl Harbour.
China didn’t occupy Hong Kong and Singapore during WW2, Japan did. WW2 was also an opportunity for China to annex Japan, but it didn’t even engage in the conflict never mind attack Japan.
We can’t ignore it. It’s “current alliance of convenience” is reality, as is the current alliance of convenience between to former bitter enemies, France and Britain.
Mao is long dead. His Great Leap Forward recognised as a monumental blunder largely despised by the Chinese as it’s within living memory. I witnessed the fall out from it first hand.
China has one single trade route out of China, into the South China Sea. If hostile nations decide to blockade it, China starves. As for debt slavery, the belt and road is a trade route and both Russia and China invest in west Asia Africa rather than allowing it to wither on the vine as western nations have historically done.
Putin and Xi have the support of upwards of 80% of their people, assessed by independent means.
China’s cities are vast, modern, and import more Rolls Royces than any nation on earth. Visit Harrods someday, it’s full of wealthy Chinese tourists, bussed in, buying the most expensive goods in London. These are not the elite flown in, these are wealthy Chineses business owners on a weeks vacation.
Ah! Now there you have me. Except that their ‘domination’ relies on trade, not military might.
The west? Well several hundred NATO military bases around the world as opposed to around ten between Russia and China might just give you a clue as to what methods are preferred by the west.
It’s also a clue that mass, undocumented immigration is not tolerated in Russia or China. But America and Europe accept this as an inevitability of borderless Globalisation.
Being as you clearly don’t live in Russia and probably never been to China, let’s put it this way…those wonderful dictatorships you blithely are worshipping are doing their best to stuff people like you into prison camps as fast as possible.
“Russians have very fresh memories of the misery of the far-left under Stalin and his successors and don’t want to revisit that.”
Yea right,
so WTF is Kara-Murza doing getting poisoned repeatedly as was Navalny both nearly fatally…after what happened to Nemtsov, Politovskaya and worse…
Seems like Brics cum Kremlin Narrative wants to make me throw up from your ex-plod background.
As far as I am concerned you can f..k your Hotscot idiot narrative and start saying it like it is – where Uigurs in PRC get clapped inside Gulags with no escape route…and Tibet becomes a dystopia.
Just saying…your propaganda is equally crappy as those autocrats in the Brics – inc INDIA btw.
I’m Chinese by birthplace.
I don’t worship anything. Not even incompetent western governments which have run up national debts that will take several generation of taxpayers money to pay off.
But the CIA and MI6 never do anything like that. No, of course not, they are honourable chaps in sparkling white trilby’s drinking coffee in roadside cafe’s.
Grow up FFS.
What has my “ex-plod” background got to do with BRICS narrative. You are now delusional bordering on hysterical.
That would be Uigur Muslims who have committed terrorist attacks within China, a concept we are familiar with in the UK, and who the Chinese government have decided to put to work rather than locking them up on the taxpayers dime, with three hots and an xBox for company.
“From the 1951 Seventeen Point Agreement to 2003, life expectancy in Tibet increased from thirty-six years to sixty-seven years with infant mortality and absolute poverty declining steadily. Professor Lin Chun summarizes, “Roads, factories, schools, hospitals, and above all, modern conceptions of equality and citizenship, however undemocratic they might be, had transformed the land of snows where the cruelty and hardship of an ancient serfdom had been evident.” (Wikipedia)
“According to the Chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Qiangba Puncog, Tibet’s economy has grown on average 12% per year from 2000 to 2006. The per capita GDP reached 10,000 RMB in 2006 for the first time in Tibet’s history.” (Wikipedia)
Anything but, you clown.
You believe Joe Biden’s propaganda?
WoW!!!
Well yes. They have lost their minds so the chance of intellectual debate is zero.
Oh No’s, we’ve reached the tipping point into Global Cheese on Toast!!!
Next stop, Global Boiling Strawberry Jam!!!!!
Take to the lifeboats! climate alarmists and the global elite first!!
F*ck the women and children!
F*ck the poor, the women and children!
Define poor.
People being denied cheap oil and gas to raise their standard of living by eco-colonialists
Fair enough. You’re the only person I have ever asked that question of to give a considered answer.
They are extremely desperate as most people don’t believe their lies anymore.
We will look for global boiling and not seen any, so thanks for ending the climate BS quicky.
There is nothing boiling on the planet that is not related to volcanism.
Most people are conformists, they just do not care enough to have a position, they go along with whatever the official narrative is. By an average Joe’s reasoning, if they say so all the time, it must be true, or at least there is some truth to it. Especially vulnerable are gullible children. Yesterday I heard from a 13 year old, that June was the hottest month ever, and July will also be.
PS And when I suggested to him this was totally made up, he had a look on his face, like, what, the adults I deal with every day are lying to me? No way, it can not to be true.
Primordial Earth? The planet magma? Broiling tonight?
Sooner or later the alarmist will run out of ‘hot’ words. They are already borrowing from food network so I expect that not only will Boiling and Broiling continue but they have added or will add:
Blanching, frying, roasting, baking, poaching, steaming, saute’ing, braising, simmering, basting, smoking, searing, flambeing…
Not sure how about sous viding or dutch ovening will happen
Anyone else read the climate warnings using the Movie Title Voice Over guy?
For example “In a world where the seas are boiling, the sky is falling and the seas rising, only one thing stands between climate distasters and the end of humanity. FEDERAL TAXES!”
It must be Summer. How about Gut-Errors just stop talking.
Or even Gutwrenching….
Used to be that everyone was taught in school about the boiling point of water being 212 degrees F. Because of the lack of training in physics and math and the lack of the US adopting the metric system, 100 degrees can be stated to be boiling as the uninformed know water boils at 100 degrees something. Mostly applies to the U.S.
Does the phrase have something to do with the reporter? Louise Boyle? <sarc>
She should at least know the law
PV=nRT
Many people on both sides don’t seem to understand that particular law.
They still think that tiny internal atmospheric radiative effects can over-ride it.!
Analysis of balloon data shows that they don’t have any effect…
… and that PV=nRT governs the atmospheric energy gradient.
If it goes beyond warming then we may well have it hot enough for fusion to occur naturally here on Earth – then we will all be saved and we can live at one with the planet! …. Have I missed something?
“We have seen it morph from global warming (that sounds nice!), to climate change”
People keep saying this, but the phrase “climate change” has been in common use since the IPCC was created more than 30 years ago.
This is true.
maybe, but ‘global warming’ was definitely pushed into the closet through choreographed efforts … cuz it wasn’t warming appropriately.
I seem to remember the term Global Warming being used shortly after the Next Ice Age in the 70’s, long before the IPCC decided that any shift in the climate could be described as a catastrophe.
I suspect Climate Change was adopted by the IPCC in order that they could never be considered dispensable even were a new ice age to hit us tomorrow.
Hence the “Day After Tomorrow” Syndrome, ie catastrophic global cooling caused by global warming.
Whatever happens is bad, and it’s our fault. Where “our” means capitalism, not the far more polluting industries of the communist second world.
Yes, they definitely came out at first calling it Global Warming.
That would make sense since they had been talking about Human-caused Global Cooling just before the temperatures started warming in the 1980’s, and they switched to Human-caused Global Warming.
Global Armageddon? It’s lame, but so is whatever they’ll come up with next.
Too Christian
The Rupture is nigh!
“Story Tip”
From the flaming electric car department: A ship carrying thousands of cars is burning and the problem is made much worse by a large number of electric cars, which are very hard to extinguish. link (I don’t speak Dutch, my browser has a translate option.)
They’ve quit trying to cool the ship because pumping all that water aboard causes the possibility of sinking. They’re not sure if it will sink anyway. It’s near an ecologically sensitive area and could cause an environmental disaster.
Someone said the fire started in the battery of one of the electric cars. Is it possible that insurance companies will refuse to cover ships carrying electric vehicles? I’d bet a friendly coffee that could happen.
“”Insurance company Alliance points out that the number of fires on large ships has increased significantly in recent years and that fires are now the third cause of shipping losses in the last decade.””
https://swzmaritime.nl/news/2022/02/21/ship-fires-among-biggest-safety-concerns-for-the-shipping-industry/
These auto-transport ships are going to have to start transporting the EV’s without the battery packs installed, and they can tow the battery packs in a barge behind them, and if the batteries catch on fire, they can scuttle the barge and not lose the ship.
I heard on the news this morning that the Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a hearing yesterday that there had been about 100 fires related to electric bicycles over the last year in the United States.
If you use a lithium battery in your vehicle, you should assume the worst and not park it where it can catch your house or apartment on fire.
I’m no greenie but even I would object to contaminating the oceans with toxic chemical leeching batteries sitting on the seabed.
That’s almost barely larger than a drop in the ocean.
This is true for a deep open ocean, but a for shallow inland sea close to a shore, it could be different.
Two ships in two years, and there are single digit percentage battery cars on the roads today.
Is there any chance you could think beyond the end of your nose?
Reports for the total number of cars vary from 2857 to 3783, and electric from 25 to 498, including hybrid. This must be similar to the one that sank in Feb 2022, and there was at least one more before that.
What is interesting, this time they outright name the cause of fire an electric car. With the previous ones, they said it was unknown. Perhaps the surviving crew reported this.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m really, really, really tired of the pack of UN clowns and buffoons flapping their pieholes about the imaginary threat from the climate. This latest flap from the UN just seals the deal for me. Close the building in NY down, send the “diplomats”(more like dipshits) home and let them experience the real world for a change.
The only “crisis” they will encounter is the realization that no sane person would hire them to clean toilets, much less make loud noises regarding anything remotely serious.
“I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m really, really, really tired of the pack of UN clowns and buffoons flapping their pieholes about the imaginary threat from the climate.”
What I’m even more tired of is the Leftwing Media pushing these climate change lies all over the world They have a huge, well-funded climate change propaganda conspiracy going amongst themselves, and are misleading and scaring millions of people.
It’s criminal. It’s inhumane.
You bring up an interesting point about no sane person hiring them, I’ve often wondered if we were able to actually close down the departments of redundancy and cut the budgets of those left by 25% (just a start) what would happen to the detritus? They’ve go no marketable skills, no degrees in anything of value to the economy – would we just be adding to the population of homeless? For instance, what new grift would John Kerry have to involve himself in?

Did you catch the one about the West End show called Tony and Tina’s Wedding?
Its adverts were banned by TfL because they featured a picture with a wedding cake in it – and cake isn’t healthy….

It would be funny if it weren’t so serious – this incoherent elitist rambling is the epitome of madness
For UN clarity, the boiling point of water is 100degC, at sea level
The UN over reach is astounding these days – an unelected organisation, handed billions of taxpayer money every year that failed in its original mission to rid developing countries of famine, poverty and disease, is now regressing developed nations down that path to a dystopian, authoritarian oblivion
like the WHO, the UN is making the world a less safe, less happy, less healthy place
“its original mission to rid developing countries of famine, poverty and disease”
I think it’s original mission was to end war. Since it couldn’t succeed at that, it decided to end famine, poverty and disease. It hasn’t succeeded in that- so it’s found a new mission- one that can sustain it for generations. An eternal war- like the Catholic Church’s eternal war against Satan.
(Wikipedia)
There has been nearly one major military conflict every year in the world, since the end of WW2 when the UN was established.
In no commercial environment would this staggering level of failure be tolerated.

Yeah, and then the cool weather fronts will move in, and all this hysteria won’t have anywhere to go.
It’s going to be about 100F in the northeast U.S. today. In a few days, it’s going to be 82F in the northeast. Maybe the UN can explain where the climate boiling went.
I once posted a distorted picture of some cars on a road in vegas and said global warming is melting the tires, and people believed me. There are people who will believe any nonsense like this.
Thanks to post-modern education that number grows considerably every year
Yes, there are a lot of clueless people running around. Just watch a “man on the street” interview, to see how really divorced from reality some people are. And these people are old enough to vote, which is the really scary part.
“Yes, there are a lot of clueless people running around.” It’s a shame it (i.e., cluelessness) has become a requirement to hold office here in the US. But, common sense isn’t necessary to make a fortune in D.C. As one ex-congressman said, once you achieve office you have so many people from K-Street throwing money at you and tell you your poop don’t stink, pretty soon you begin to believe ’em.
A few years ago, there was a picture of the plastic coverings of street lamps that had partially melted. The article claimed that this was the result of global warming.
Turned out to be the result of a dumpster fire.
Turned out to be the result of a dumpster fire.
A metaphor for this whole thing…
Well, since the climatistas don’t know when to stop escalating- what’s going to come after global boiling?
hmmm…. They may say that a supernova will occur in our galaxy not far away and it’ll utterly destroy the Earth- and, they’ll blame the supernova on—— carbon emissions!
Tony Heller’s latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNhnJDWi-wQ&t=338s shows the UN honcho discussing the boiling planet. he said, “The era of global warming is ending- the era of global boiling is here”.
Poor teddy, he obviously got very confused with his temperature units.
But then the guy is a basically an uneducated socialist troglodyte.
When a big cheese at the UN makes a statement the media has to pass it along. That’s what press conferences are all about.
Hmm. If it’s really boiling, we should be able to capture the steam and use it to run turbines and ….. generate electricity to power the net-zero world! What’s not to like about that?
It’s no wonder people are growing weary of all of this exaggeration. Crying wolf in the extreme – first it was a fox, then a jackal, then a coyote, wolf, direwolf and now a werewolf! But nothing ever appears! Life goes on, and the flocks peacefully graze, unmolested by the devastating monster we’ve been warned about for 40+ years.
And in my neck of the woods (central Maryland, where I’ve lived most of my life) I am struggling to notice much of anything with regards to temperature changes. The only thing that is different then when I was a kid (in the 70’s) is that we had a lot of snow storms back then that are less common now. But winters are still cold – almost no one goes around in a tee shirt in January! And for summer, I recall more heat waves back in the 80s and into the 90’s then in the last 20 years. This is the first time (today and tomorrow) the Baltimore region will be bumping the 100 degree mark in many, many years.
Sorry, but myself and others can just walk outside every day and see few or no changes.
When the oceans boil away, that should take care of sea level rise, so don’t sell your beachfront property yet!

I’ve noticed an increase in the number of attractive women dressed in a manner to deal with this summer’s Global Boiling. Perhaps we can blame distracted driving on climate change? It’s worse than we thought!
Women?
Transphobic bigot alert!
Perhaps I should have said womxn? I’m not judging, but I blame the global boilage for my transgression. 😉
🤣
A couple of weeks ago we had a Just Stop Oil ‘spokesman’ (who looked about 20) stating that people boil in their own sweat when the temperature gets hot, perhaps the ‘boiling’ thing is meme of the month from Global Heating central HQ. The youthful spokesman got a bit upset when the presenters interviewing him couldn’t stop laughing.
Thanks for that. I looked it up and it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. “When it gets hot enough, you LITERALLY boil in your own sweat! I know it sounds like I’m exaggerating.”
And he was talking about 40C temperatures, lol! It’s a wonder we don’t boil to death every time we get a fever!

Perhaps Guterres has unwittingly created a faux pas with this ridiculous ‘global boiling’ phraseology. If it becomes common parlance people might begin to wake up to the con. Lets use it sarcastically.
“Lets use it sarcastically.”
Especially in the wintertime.
Maaaaaate!
It’s worse than we thought :
Alarming!
I hate to bring more bad news, but something similar is happening in Canada starting from late November to mid April. Occasionally, the fallout from the boiling oceans and lakes comes down from the sky as boilflakes – accumulating on our roads and causing traffic chaos. When compacted the flakes become hardboiled and extremely slippery! In the last couple of years vast swathes of land have been completely covered by this fallout for months on end! No crops can be grown because of the fallout and many trees even seem to shut down in the face of this disaster that, shockingly, seems to be an annual event in our new boiling climate paradigm. It’s essentially a wasteland until the April rains wash away all the boilflakes.
I’m not sure how we’ll survive.
Pan-Terrestrial Sublimation Disorder? . Damn! PTSD is already taken.
The weather forecasts on TV in the USA are now using Heat Index instead actual temperatures. That allows them to show a higher number with humid conditions. It’s gotten ridiculous
The News Organizations like to say ” (X-number of) millions of people are at risk” from the weather.
I’m one of those people “under risk” but I don’t see anything outside I need to worry about.
It’s all hyperbole. It’s no different today than it was in the past. Nothing new to see here. Climate Alarmists are trying to make something out of nothing.

He has jumped the shark.
That is beyond the fringe.
His standing will sink like Bud Light sales.
(P.S. Anyone remember “Beyond the fringe”?
“Charlie”, she said, “rationing has been imposed and all that that entails.”
“Never you mind my dear,” I said to her, “you put on the kettle and we’ll ‘ave a nice cup of boilin’ hot water.”)

That’s next to The North Sea as well. Why penguins and polar bears don’t co-exist in that frigid mire is a mystery to everyone up/down the UK’s east coast

In 1303 and 1304, the Rhine, Loire, and Seine ran dry. In 1615, the heat throughout Europe became excessive. Scotland suffered particularly in 1625; men and beasts died in scores. Meat could be cooked by merely exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dared to venture out between noon and 4 p.m. In 1718, many shops had to be closed; the theatres were never opened for several months. Not a drop of water fell during six months.

I haven’t seen it used for a while, but they used to use Hiroshimas a lot to describe the amount of heat (according to them) that the oceans have absorbed, and continue to absorb daily. So, perhaps “Global Climate Hiroshima” could be next.
The depressing thing is that nearly all of our social circle still do think AGW is bad and our fault, and something needs to be done, although they still fly away on hols and drive around burning ghastly fossil fuels. I despair sometimes.
How so?At least half of America has and is voting for a group of politicians who are hellbent on destroying our energy infrastructure and way of life all in the name of Global Boiling.
And then there’s the majority of the MSM screaming non stop about it.
Plus most of the social media sites still “fact check” anything to the contrary.
How so?
You’re right. I continually point out that it’s pervasive outside of places like this. Watch DIY shows like This Old House, read magazines like New Pioneer, Fine Homebuilding, Fine Woodworking. (plus many more on a wide variety of subjects). Discover, Science Channel, etc.. You can’t get away from it.
Even a lot of the rural farmers and firefighters where I live buy into it.
The time has come, the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax —
Of cabbages — and kings —
And why the sea is boiling hot —
And whether pigs have wings.
— Lewis Carroll. The Walrus and the Carpenter
That’s very good.
Put it with the quote and send it… somewhere. At some point a smart copy editor will get the irony and see the common sense, and voila: some notoriety. I count notoriety very highly.

“Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on the findings.
“The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived.”
Global boiling. Covid did not come from a lab. The vaccine is safe and effective.
Yeah, ‘the world is flat’ etc… (I saw it on a map).
I’m amazed you can read a map !
Do you really “believe” the globe is “boiling”
Are you dumb enough to “believe” the vaccines are safe an effective?
Which booster are you up to now.. 9th, 10th
Would explain the lack of cognitive ability. (although I suspect that is innate)

“… You can keep yer land line.” Sorry, that one’s in a different category I guess.
When will we hear: “Climate change, global boiling, will make the next pandemic much worse!!!!!”
Don’t … give them ideas.
How about the era of global insanity.
That guy in the center has two left arms, and his right arm doesn’t appear to have a hand.
The next mantra they will be chanting is “global change lockdown”
Mark my words.

Global burning is next I think
Darn it, where Nick-pick or Foolish Nitwit to tell us that the oceans really are boiling.
Surely they support one of their cult leader’s comments.
If not, why haven’t they come out and said that Teddy is a moronic idiot.

The reporter, Louise Boyle, has a 2007 BA degree in English literature from Edinburgh University. Now there is an authority on climate! She can probably also recite Chaucer’s Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. (So can I, so that must make me an authority on English literature)
What evidence is there that “only a few people” believe in the “scam”?
Homewood, characteristically, provides none.
I would say that most people capable of observation ‘believe’ in what is obviously happening all around us, globally.
Well, basically everyone capable of rational thought ability or scientific understanding knows there is no scientific evidence.
Even you must have figured that out by now, with your absolutely failure to produce any.
Anyone capable of looking at actual data KNOWS there is absolutely nothing untoward happening.
Apart from those on the climate trough, only the most gullible and scientifically illiterate could possibly support the scam…
It is all now just political agenda and cult-like virtue-seeking.
btw.. EVERY time you fail to produce any scientific evidence.
people notice. 🙂

They know they are toast. Lying and cheating can not stand.
This summer is what happens when too many children that have grown up indoor in air conditioning staring at screens all day become climate ‘scientists’ and ‘climate reporters’.
Hot weather is very uncomfortable for the first 1-2 weeks if you’re not used to it, but your body quickly adapts. When I was living in Saudi Arabia as a kid (going to an American school), we would laugh as the new arrivals from overseas would be red-faced, sweating profusely and asking how the rest of us seemed so unbothered. They’d be fine, of course, after a couple of weeks.
To put it into further perspective, we were in the hottest part of Saudi Arabia (the Rub Al Khali desert). Average daytime highs were nearly 40C, and mid to high 40s (up to 120F) was not uncommon. And we played soccer in the sun outside during every recess.
July the ‘hottest on record’? Tell that nonsense to the peoples of northern Europe where it is positively chilly, 3 to 5 degrees below ‘normal’.
Who do they think they are kidding? And how dare they!
