US consider declaring climate emergency as wildfires tear through California - BBC News

US President Joe Biden is said to be considering whether to declare a climate emergency as wildfires tear across California.
Around 6,000 people have already been evacuated from their homes as firefighters admit high temperatures are hampering their efforts.
A state of emergency has already been declared around Yosemite National Park where ancient woodland and wildlife could fall victim to the fires.

Carbon dioxide at 0.04% is a 2,500th part of the atmosphere. that means to warm the climate by just 1"c carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2,500"c of heat energy. That is impossible. It also breaks the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more impossible. To cause 1°c of heating methane would have to capture 600,000°c of heat energy. Problematic as this is over a hundred times hotter than the surface of the sun. (Methane rapidly breaks down in sunlight). However, the climate is changing. This is because of deliberate geoengineering programmes, inparticular ozone thinning away from the poles. Though largely unreported ozone thinning effect is directly observable producing an unnaturally bright sun and even a bright moon. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. (Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, ripple patterns caused by HAARP installations, bizarre and unnatural cloud formations). Climate change is a programme to force change in accordance with the implementation of agenda 21/2030. Current events demonstrate this transition is well underway and will involve massive population cull through injected nanotech (re transhumanist programme), engineered famine, conflict. Agenda 21 also sees the permanent loss of all property rights with the introduction of universal basic income (ref nesara/gesara) and has/is being promoted by the World Economic Forum. 'You will own nothing and you will be happy' WEF In a depopulated world the surviving brainwashed and controlled population will be confined to mega cities. Carbon limits will be used to restrict consumption and liberty. Meanwhile the re-greened wilderness will be the exclusive playground of the ultra rich elite posing as conservationists. The co2 hoax amounts to the theft of the world and the enslavement of humanity by a parasitic few. Welcome to the future! _________ I have included a debunking of 'accumulated heat' as it is so often used to explain how trace elements, so called 'greenhouse gasses', can warm the planet. Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is. When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating co2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case. Nasa and even nobel prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how co2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years co2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect. As I have just explained, this is totally impossible and fundamentally violates all the laws of thermodynamics. That respected scientists should support such uneducated, unthinking nonsense is disturbing and only reflects that in terms of being able to think clearly about a subject they have no facility or inclination. These are the dark ages of science. Belief has outweighed logic or any critical thought. It tells us that we should not unquestioningly accept anything we are told, that experts can be fools. (nb: Be aware of attempts to discard thermodynamics by talking about biology. eg. 'it only takes a drop of arsenic to kill a person.' This would be somewhat desperate, muddled thinking. clearly biological processes based on the reaction of a cell are not the same as the laws of physics/thermodynamics). This argument is described as 'the butterfly effect', that insignificant changes can have massive ramifications by knock on consequences. Not only is it illogical, a butterfly cannot repeatedly demolish a brick wall for example, it is against the notion that the earth has robust ecosystems. Were this otherwise the most minor changes to almost anything would have long since rendered the planet uninhabitable. In short, 'the butterfly effect' is simply magical thinking, to wish 'this must be so though I don't know how'.

[@doobidoo095]

Continued... It is impossible to trap more energy than the energy available. This is the first law of thermodynamics. Furthermore, climate change models require that this heat must be from radiant heat from the Earth's surface. The reason this must be so is explained by the thought experiment as follows: 'Five photons of energy from the sun, one photon is absorbed by CO2. Does the planet warm more than if all five photons had hit the surface? ' Anything that captures radiant energy will in turn radiate 50% of its energy back to space. This is as much a point of logic. It is also easily proved by everyday experience. When a cloud passes overhead it immediately becomes colder, this is because radiant energy is absorbed by the water molecules and the same will be true of CO2. Carbon dioxide can only reduce surface temps though as I explained the proportion of CO2 is so fractional as to have any measurable effect. Clouds, and the fact that nights are colder than days, also demonstrates that Earth loses heat extremely quickly and shows the importance of surface heating from direct sunlight. It also explains why all those peddling the CO2 climate hoax have to ignore infrared in direct sunlight. Were they not to do so the whole charade falls apart as it means half of all infrared energy from the Sun will be radiated back out to space. This is problematic as almost half of the Sun's radiant energy IS INFRARED!!! ... OUCH! Fractional elements have fractional effects. We understand this in everyday common sense as proportion. To imagine carbon dioxide can capture this magnitude of energy is absurd and breaks the basic law of thermodynamics. Were it so all energy needs could be solved through the magical energy capturing power of CO2. There are many other fundamental problems with the CO2 climate change model. Eg that CO2 is highly soluble and is washed out extremely quickly in rainfall; that CO2 levels fluctuate drastically seasonally showing on earth with its high rainfall CO2 is not a gas that accumulates; that heat cannot be trapped in oceans as described in climate models as they are more 'energy dense' than the adjacent air, rather if oceans are becoming warmer it can only be from direct sunlight; that increasing biomass increases CO2 because it increases the carbon in cycle; that correlation is not causation otherwise it could be said daisies cause hot temperatures because there are more daisies when it is warm; that there is extremely dodgy Victorian science/politics behind Ice Ages which is never questioned or examined - eg mammoths, which were the initial reason why Ice Ages were proposed, despite claims otherwise are not adapted to cold but rather appear to be cold temperate animals similar to highland cattle, their blood is not antifreeze as claimed, they have no sebaceous glands, hair is long but sparse - even yaks being hairier, mammoth remains as far south as Mexico; that how can ice cores be an accurate record of the past if miles thickness of ice have supposedly melted?; that Milankovitch Cycles mean that the Southern Hemisphere is currently in the middle of it's Great Ice Age; that the hypothesis that burning of forest subsequent to Ice Ages resulted in warming is logically inconsistent as 'no new carbon' has been introduced into cycle this all being carbon already in cycle and in any case would be washed out almost immediately; that CO2 levels are at a geological low; that the oxygen cycle is intertwined with the carbon cycle and dependent on it; that life is carbon based and CO2 is essential; that a halving of CO2 levels would result in the extinction of nearly all plant species - problematic as it in turn means theorised measures of atmospheric CO2 during Ice Ages cannot be correct - contrary there was a proliferation of megafauna; that alarmingly, plants already struggle to get enough CO2 for growth which is why farmers will often increase CO2 in greenhouses to promote yields; that the so called 'proofs' showing CO2 is able to capture radiant heat energy only prove the opposite and how very minor this is - that atmospheric concentrations of 0.04% CO2 thermal effect would be far too fractional to even be measured; that comparisons to other planets eg Venus/Mars prove CO2 does not capture the proportion of energy claimed and maybe this is why these comparisons are done less and less; that in order to explain vastly higher concentrations of CO2 in the geological past the sun is deemed to have increased its output this despite losing solar mass (gravitational mass) as fuel, this in turn meaning that the orbits of all the planets are all moving away from the sun - such hypothesis where solar activity is used to exactly compensate for holes in the CO2 climate theory is to ignore other evidential explanations of stars such as the 'electric universe theory'; that the geological archive shows periods of millions of years when CO2 and temperature were heading in opposite directions... etc).

[@a.m11558]

@@ruairievans The biggest issue no longer lies in our continued CO2 emissions, despite what the media says. Scientifically-speaking, the major problem is the emissions we’ve already produced and the effects they are having on carbon which is naturally trapped. By that I mean the fact that the vast majority of unnatural, human-induced CO2 emissions have been captured by our oceans, but our oceans are now at their maximum threshold and cannot continue to suffer from the strain of all that carbon. Thus, the ocean is acidifying, and we are losing our coral reef systems, which are the most valuable weapon we have against CO2 in the atmosphere. The Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the world and the most important, is now at about 5% of its remaining size, with the other 95% of it officially dead as of last year. So... What can we do? Well, we need to capture carbon ASAP. We need to immediately stop cutting down trees, as they are fantastic at carbon capture, and we need a gigantic, global initiative to plant trees pretty much wherever we possibly can. This will have a carboniferous effect (not as bad as it sounds) which will result in mass carbon capture and also a less-than-ideal bi-product of a shit load of oxygen being released into the atmosphere, but, that’s easier to deal with and we can cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, carbon is the issue. But deforestation is continuing at a higher rate than it ever has, and every year a chunk of the Amazon the size of Jamaica is lost to logging. We just can’t do it... We’re out of time. It takes a minimum of fifteen or twenty years for trees to grow, and the ones we need (the big, jungle trees) take several decades at least. So, to answer your question, no, not really. There isn’t much we can do at this point unless world governments miraculously decide to get their shit together and throw every ounce of the resources they have at solving the problem. But you and I both know that will never happen. In short, we fucked up big time. It will be okay, it will be a mass extinction event for sure, and most of the Earth’s organisms will probably die, but I think humans will survive. We’ll establish some colonies in the Solar System and we’ll just have to adapt to life on Earth by living underground and only really coming out at night or in the middle of winter. It will take centuries for the planet to recover, probably even longer, but it will. It’s been through a lot worse than this at least a dozen times over the eons. Yeah. It’s gonna be a tough lesson.

Resulting in thousands of square miles of scrub land being left to dry out and burn out of control... These fires would have been happening 2 decades ago if the management then was at the level it is now !

It’s a typical summer here. It’s not welcome, but it’s typical.

Its DEW time to put an end to the fires.

Governments too concerned with making money to address this. It's getting very serious now!

The problem with fire is that most occur naturally, but then people try to stop them before they do their intended work. Fire is a part of nature, maybe we should get out of the way.

"Maybe we should get out of the way". So in other words let the fires burn through towns and communities. And let the fires destroy trees that are thousands of years old as in the Sequoia in Yosemite. 🙄. Many, but not all fires are natural. Some are caused by lightning, but many more are caused by people. Such as campfires not extinguished properly, and some are caused by arson. But these fires are not natural in the sense that for much of the 20th century every fire was extinguished in a misguided attempt to stop all wildfires. This allowed undergrowth to increase so that when fires start they can burn through underbrush quickly and also use the underbrush to reach the crowns of trees, crowning. Fires can spread much faster especially in strong winds running along crowns of trees. And now because of climate change the drought has worsened and these fires move much faster and become a danger to fire fighters as well as home owners. Remember Paradise, the Camp Fire?? 88 people died. They couldn't get out of the way fast enough.
