We interrupt this trip report...

For alarming news on global warming.

According to today's media coverage of climate change, scientists are reporting "the end of civilization as we know it", and an NPR luminary is referring to the "death of a planet".

And here we are, blithely on our way to Phoenix.

We may not make it.

The ground may dry up and burn with fervent heat before we get there.

If we do make it, no doubt the lakes and streams will all be dried up, and the ground will crack and groan as the earth lets out its death wail.

On the other hand, there's good science to indicate that the climate fluctuations we are undergoing are well within what is considered historical norms, e.g., the warm period during the middle ages in Europe. And, there are also solid indicators that we are within ten years of a reversal and a global cooling trend.

So, maybe we should just hang in and enjoy our trip.

Now, get back to whatever it was you were doing.

Enjoy life!

This program appeared on the BBC in England, much to my surprise.

It explains that CO2 has no effect on global warming. The major influence is our local star.

This is a very long video 1hr 15 min.

You may need high speed and a lot of spare time.

The force driving the global warming movement today is not actual global warming but buckets of government money.

De-fund the idiots and the nonsense will stop.
