GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE: THE POLITICAL BENEFITS OF AN INFALLIBLE ARGUMENT
It’s not our fault; there was no governmental mismanagement; it was “hydroclimate whiplash”…
How hydroclimate whiplash contributed to the severity of California wildfires Experts say hydroclimate whiplash—the rapid shift between wet and dry conditions—likely contributed to the severity of the wildfires burning in Southern California. In recent years, parts of the state shifted from a major drought to an extended period of above-average precipitation that allowed for abundant vegetation growth. After that, a stretch of intense, record-breaking heat dried out much of that vegetation and provided ample fuel for large and fast-growing wildfires. <Source> [ABC Reporter] Joining me now is climate scientist Peter Kalmas, who has researched climate change and its impacts on extreme weather events, specifically. Peter, thanks for being with us. Officials are still investigating how this particular wave of fires began. But what does research tell you, tell us, about the effects of climate change on wildfires in particular? [Climate Scientist Peter Kalmas] Yeah, so climate change is making the planet hotter. It’s making areas like Southern California drier. And this is causing much worse fires, as we’re seeing.
In my opinion, this is a kind of a tipping point. So you have like more fuel, more dry fuel, more drought, hotter temperatures, possibly stronger Santa Ana winds. And so you’re seeing a kind of fire that we haven’t seen before.
I think it’s completely wrong to blame mismanagement, to blame emergency responders. This is climate change. This is caused by fossil fuels.
The fossil fuel industry has been lying and blocking action for decades. And in my opinion, they are the arsonists here.

Politicians have a unique talent for turning a simple question into a masterclass of word salad.
They can dodge, weave, and spin like Olympic gymnasts, delivering speeches that sound impressive but say absolutely nothing. Their motto is, “If you can’t dazzle them with facts, baffle them with bullshit.”
They’ll promise every citizen the moon, the stars, and a puppy—then deliver a parking ticket and call it progress. It’s a well-rehearsed dance of doublespeak, where the only thing more evident than their intentions is the smoke they’re blowing up your ass.
- Fact: Weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions in a specific place, such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind, over hours or days. On the other hand, climate describes the long-term patterns and averages of weather conditions over extended periods—typically decades, centuries, or millennia.
-
Fact: the weather is constantly changing, leading the progressives to declare that warming, generally known as summer, is the product of global climate change, cooling, customarily known as winter, is the product of global climate change, and moderate weather in spring and fall are also part of global climate change. Weather resulting in mass discomfort or damage is labeled “extreme weather.”
-
Fact: An Infallible argument refers to an assertion that is indefensible or unfalsifiable, meaning it is incapable of being proven wrong or challenged; an infallible argument or statement is so strong, accurate, and specific that no evidence or reasoning can dispute or contradict it—something so absolute and unassailable, there is no room for error or doubt.
-
Fact: There is no such thing as an infallible argument in science. Science is inherently a process of continually testing, questioning, and refining ideas. Even well-established theories and models are always open to revision in light of new evidence or better explanations. This self-correcting nature is one of the strengths of science, as it adapts to new information and improves over time. An “infallible” argument would imply absolute certainty, but scientific knowledge is always provisional and subject to change as we learn more about the world.
The truth about global climate change is simple and unimpeachable at this point in time.
1. Man cannot identify, isolate, and measure man’s climate signal against the noise of natural climate variability.
2. Man cannot determine the optimum temperature of the Earth that is beneficial to life from the equatorial latitudes to the polar regions.
3. Carbon dioxide is required for life, is not a pollutant, and is not a significant driver of climate change other than in computer models with incomplete or faulty assumptions and highly manipulated suspect data.
4. The significant drivers of climate change are the Sun’s energy output in all spectral bands, cosmic ray production, the Earth’s position relative to the Sun, the Earth’s rotational and precessional dynamics, plate tectonics and vulcanology, deep ocean currents, and the most significant greenhouse gas: water vapor. All seemingly interlinked with feedback and response mechanisms to support life on our planet. And all impervious to man’s control.
5. There is no evidence that any public policies or initiatives have altered or can alter our short-term weather or long-term global climate.
6. the elite climate change activists and supporters have accumulated additional wealth and power at humanity’s expense.
Bottom line…
The benefits of an infallible argument for climate change are clear: greater political power over populations and economies, accelerated shift to authoritarian communism, and unlimited profits drained from those whose daily toil is increasingly taxed.
No compelling evidence supports climate change, which remains an unproven hypothesis.
We are so screwed.
