Gaslighting on climate change

RE: Is climate change linked to cold snaps? A CP article by Jordan Omstead. The Hamilton Spectator 1 Feb 24.

The public is being gaslighted on climate change, and this CP article contains many examples of the practice. First off, if something gets warmer, it doesn’t get cold. Second, climate is not a quantity; hence its change cannot be measured quantitively.  Third, climate is not observable, and because it’s not observable or quantifiable, change in it takes a long time to confirm.  Fourth, global warming is supposed to be driven by minor increases in concentration of a minor atmospheric gas, CO2; and these increases are said to be the drivers of climate change.

It is quite untrue to say, “Scientists agree on how climate change, driven by the burning of fossil fuels…” Scientists don’t agree, which is why there is so much contention over so-called “climate change.”

Cold snaps aren’t allegedly changing climate change trends, but yet, rapid warming in the far north could be linked to outbreaks of cold Arctic air? This is pure gaslighting. If the Arctic is warming, why is its air cold? And spreading sourth?

Jet stream undulation is not well understood, and its existence was explained in the 1970s as due to global cooling.

Extreme Arctic cold flowing into southern latitudes is a challenge to the climate change narrative, and the climate cult resorts to gaslighting to keep up appearances. “Nothing to see here,” they say. Scientists have it all explained, they claim.

Nonsense!
