It has been a hot summer. CLIMATE CHANGE! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DROWN IN THE GLACIERS!
This was spotted at American Thinker.
What NASA and the European Space Agency are admitting but the media are failing to report about our current heat wave
The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world’s leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year-and-a-half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.
So, why has atmospheric water vapor increased so dramatically? Because of a historic, gigantic volcanic eruption last year that I – probably along with you — had never heard of. The mass media ignored it because it took place 490 feet underwater in the South Pacific. Don’t take it from me, take it from NASA (and please do follow the link to see time lapse satellite imagery of the underwater eruption and subsequent plume of gasses and water injected into the atmosphere):
Both NASA and the European Space Agency agree that because of the huge amount of water vapor ejected into the atmosphere by that volcano (enough to fill 58K Olympic pools) increasing the atmospheric water load by 13% we will have warmer weather for a couple of years until it dissipates.
REMEMBER: YOU… YOU… are to blame for climate change. Therefore you must be legislated and jabbed into a bio-dissolver tank of some sort to help feed the crickets that will feed the rest of us until we follow you. After all, they can’t put face diapers on volcanos, but they can put them on you.

Personally, I find this summer has been nicely cool and rainy in western Canada.
That said, we’ve apparently entered into global boiling now.
I am in the middle of Patrick O’Brien’s The Wine-Dark Sea ….. how timely!!
From Wiki:
“….The chase of the Franklin brings the Surprise to Peru and the undercover mission so long delayed. Aubrey navigates through an undersea volcanic eruption, which decides him as winner of the chase. …”

[Which it’s a great book!]
Contender post for Father’s Sour Grapes award; I note the linked article omits the latter half of this otherwise emphasised sentence from NASA, “The effect would dissipate when the extra water vapor cycles out of the stratosphere and would not be enough to noticeably exacerbate climate change effects.”
So it could have a negative effect, but it might not.
Alternatively the bushfires down here (or was it another Volcanic eruption?) in the past few years are believed to have created a temporary cooling effect, and even increased rainfall over the last few summers that led to widespread flooding. I guess it depends a lot on what, specifically, ends up in the atmosphere, and in what quantity.
That eruption may not have had wide coverage in the USA but the BBC made quite a thing of it eg https://web.archive.org/web/20220116142036/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-60009944 and both California and Alaska had tsunami warnings. The bang was also reported heard in Alaska. Mercifully, despite the tsunami and the ash the known death toll was only four people.

From the NASA article: “the 2008 Kasatochi event in Alaska and the 2015 Calbuco eruption in Chile – sent appreciable amounts of water vapor to such high altitudes. But those were mere blips compared to the Tonga event, and the water vapor from both previous eruptions dissipated quickly. The excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano, on the other hand, could remain in the stratosphere for several years.“
I don’t know about 2008, but I do remember the summer of 2o15 being particularly warmer than usual. In fact, from 2016 and after, I have not noticed any other summer that rivaled the one in 2015…until now in 2023. Thanks, Fr. Z, for sharing this! I agree that we must get the word out.
This makes me want to have a shrimp boil with corn, potato and an assortment of seafood. I heard some guy from the UN say “global boiling” at some recent meeting. Immediately I said let’s get out the seasoning and have a feast.
Great Posting, Father.
The actual causes of weather phenomena are so much more interesting and thought provoking than the droning on of the “warmers.”
(As for me, I actually like it hot and humid.)
It could be that they are preparing us for calling a “climate emergency” which of course will require emergency powers being granted to the President to do whatever is necessary, such as restricting travel, use of air conditioning, and so on. Just in time for the 2024 election, don’t allow people to drive to the polls, have voting by mail like in 2020, what could go wrong?
A few more thoughts on the “warmer” summer:
1. While the southwest may be hot as an oven, here in New England, it has barely cracked 90 degrees, so at least we aren’t feeling the warming effect.
2. “The world his at it’s hottest than it has been in over 125,000 years” claim is easily debunked since there were no accurate temperature measuring devices back then – or even 100 years ago like there are now.
3. Many of the temperature measuring devices used now to gather the information are located in cities, which are always hotter than the rest of the area – so this skews the figures.
4. The “100 degree water temperature in FL” was again placed in an area where there would be a biased reading. . . . it was literally in a bay area with little if any water circulation to mix the water, to this would naturally be a lot hotter than say the temperature at the beach or ocean.
5. Many of the “record temperatures” that have been posted were actually the “FEELS LIKE” or “WET BULB” temperatures which is a combination of the actual temperatures AND humidity. These kinds of temperatures were only recently developed so there’s no way to accurately compare them to anything more than 50-100 years old.
This isn’t to say that there ARE really hot places this summer (and yes, it DOES get hot in the summer), but all of this Chicken Little panic needs to be taken with even less than a grain of salt!
Ireland seems to be having record low temperatures, c. 16 degrees Celsius. Maybe this bears on a weakening of the Gulf Stream which ensures that Ireland and Britain not as icy as Labrador and Newfoundland which are on the same line of latitude, what this seems to me is a situation where June was warm, July was not, August probably middling and a warm September. Nothing much to worry about.
The Sun controls our climate, both long and short term.

(this is a series of short videos, watch and you will learn why)…
Here is a prediction to test this: The hurricanes in late AUG and early SEP will be very strong. The reason: There is a predictable uptick in the sunspot cycle that will start in a couple weeks. This will induce energy into the earth and the Hurricanes ground the energy from space (the hurricanes are an energy balancing mechanism)…

Academic science – both climate science, and cosmologic science – are in their dark ages. They’ve gone down the wrong path….
My good friend, retired PhD in climatology, has told me about the water vapor effect. He says that the whole anthropogenic climate change movement is a big hoax. There is no evidence that human activity is causing any significant change in the climate. The evidence put forward is distorted or even altered to support the position. Humans cannot contol the climate by limiting fossil fuel use. Academics must toe the line or else no grant money will be forthcoming, no promotions, and perhaps even termination. And everyone else gets on the bandwagon. Even priests and the pope, if you can believe it. It is all a political ploy to gain power. We are being lied to big time on this one.
Things I don’t worry about: climate change, asteroids hitting the earth, extraordinary sun activity. . . these are all in God’s hands and He’s going to do what He wants to do and whatever happens will be for our ultimate good, even if we can’t understand why it’s happening.
I remember the co-founder of the Weather Channel being interviewed on CNN of all places, about 10 or so years ago. He was, unfortunately for the interviewer, asked about man-made climate change, which he quickly shot down with various facts that he knew very well. He firmly stated there is no man-made climate change, and that the reason some will say there is, is because the only people who get research funding are those who state a priori that they ascribe to man-made climate change, otherwise, no funding. I think I shared that once here, but it’s worth saying again because that gentleman is bona fide. He came from the era when people weren’t as easily bought as they are now, and were better educated.
I don’t think this was in the Tonga article, but I just read, that some scientists are wondering if the earth’s core is actually getting hotter or changing in some way, which would make sense for hotter oceans, I suppose.
I sat in a college Physics class at a university in 1985 where the instructor told us that within 25 years we would have no more oil, we would positively run out. He was certain.
A recent article showed a weather person standing in front of their map with the areas temperature in blazing red and showing the current temperatures. Next to it was the same map from a few years earlier, with higher temperatures, but not in blazing red but cool blue. They hadn’t been instructed to make us afraid yet.
It’s all a big power play, like everything else these days.
