‘Climate crisis’ illness?! NBC News: White House to unveil a ‘national dashboard’ for tracking ‘heat-related illnesses nationwide’ due to the ‘growing impacts of the climate crisis’

Hawaiian Fires: Fueled by Invasive Grasses, a Wet Spring & Human Ignition Sources"According to Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, 98% of all Hawaiian fires are started by people, of which 75% are due to carelessness."


Hawaii warned of man-made threat years before lethal wildfire, but activists scream ‘climate’ now

USA Today features U. of Hawaii professor calling Maui wildfire climate link ‘misleading’ – Instead points to ‘unmanaged, nonnative grasslands that have flourished in Hawaii’USA Today: Clay Trauernicht, a professor of natural resources and environmental management at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, said it would be misleading to simply blame weather and climate for the blazes. Instead, Trauernicht, who noted in 2018 that the area burned annually by wildland fire in Hawaii has quadrupled in recent decades, pointed to unmanaged, nonnative grasslands that have flourished in Hawaii after decades of declining agriculture...“Hawaii’s fire problem could be far, far more manageable with adequate support, planning and resources for fuel reduction projects, agricultural land use and restoration and reforestation around communities and the foot of our forests,” he wrote.
#
Prof. Trauernicht wrote on Twitter: "Yes many parts of Hawaii are trending towards dryer conditions, BUT the fire problem is mostly attributable to the vast extents of nonnative grasslands left unmanaged by large landowners as we've entered a 'post-plantation era' starting around the 1990s."

USA Today: Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, a non-profit based in Waimea on Hawaii Island…”Hawaii has a wildfire problem,” the organization states on its website. “Each year, about 0.5% of Hawaii’s total land area burns each year, equal to or greater than the proportion burned of any other US state. Over 98% of wildfires are human-caused. Human ignitions coupled with an increasing amount of nonnative, fire-prone grasses and shrubs and a warming, drying climate have greatly increased the wildfire problem.”


What NASA & Science Admit but the Media are Failing to Report About Summer 2023 – Volcano injected ‘enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere’
When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The underwater eruption in the South Pacific Ocean also blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.

What Heatwave? Latest NOAA Data Show July Temperature in U.S. was NormalThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has updated its U.S. Contiguous USCRN Average Temperature Anomaly Data through July 2023, and as shown below, the month was unremarkable and continued a long period without a rising trend.

Larry Hamlin at Watts Up With That? comments: The measured data shows no supporting upward trends regarding U.S. 2023 average summer temperature anomalies to date. This reality flies in the face of the out-of-control media climate alarmist incompetent and idiotically hyped ‘tipping point’ climate change temperature propaganda this summer.
Globally, July 2023 was an unusually warm month, no doubt – though claims of it being the ‘hottest ever’ suffer from a multitude of dubious assumptions and data adjustments.



Scientist admits the ‘overwhelming consensus’ on the climate change crisis is ‘manufactured’The UN created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. “The IPCC wasn’t supposed to focus on any benefits of warming. The IPCC’s mandate was to look for dangerous human-caused climate change,” climatologist Dr. Judith Curry said. “Then the national funding agencies directed all the funding . . . assuming there are dangerous impacts.” The researchers quickly figured out that the way to get funded was to make alarmist claims about “man-made climate change.” This is how “manufactured consensus” happens.


DR. MATTHEW WIELICKI: Stop claiming that fires in Canada, Greece, & now Maui are due to climate change
The tragic fire burning in Maui is a result of high winds and dry air associated with Hurricane Dora. Thankfully hurricanes are becoming less frequent, according to NOAA.

Judith Curry: How Climate ‘Science’ Got Hijacked by Alarmists – John Stossel ReportClimate alarmists insist there’s a “scientific consensus” that says climate change is a crisis, and man causes it! Researcher Judith Curry tells me, “it’s a manufactured consensus.”


Climate-Obsessed AP Blames Humanity for ‘Hellish’ ‘Summer of Earth’s Discontent’AP: When going through the litany of this summer’s weather extremes so far, University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann had one question: “How on God’s Earth are we still burning fossil fuels after witnessing all this?” ...
Climate Depot Founder Marc Morano slammed Borenstein for his ridiculous sensationalization in comments to MRC Business. “The AP is hyping every bad weather event it can find globally to fit their narrative,” Morano rebuked. “What they do not explain is that your chance of winning the lottery is very low, but the chance of someone, somewhere, winning the lottery is very high. So the activists essentially hype 'lottery winners' of extreme weather events and try to imply these events are increasing and happening everywhere.”



‘Blatantly wrong’ – Physicist Dr. Ralph Alexander: ‘Hottest in 125,000 Years? Dishonest Claim Contradicts the Evidence’"The claim, repeated mindlessly by newspapers, magazines and TV networks in lockstep, is blatantly wrong. Aside from the media confusing the temperature of the hotter ground with that of the air above, there is ample evidence that the earth’s climate has been as warm or warmer than today’s – and comparable to that 125,000 years ago – several times during the past 11,000 years after the last ice age ended."

This is real; it's happening. People who say climate lockdowns are a conspiracy haven't looked at France, which actually banned two-and-a-half-hour flights or less to save the climate. The EU is looking at six-hour bans. This is the here and now, not theoretical or in the future."

Listen: Morano on Joe Piscopo Show on NYT vs. LA Times in battle of bicoastal elites over AC in your home vs. community ‘cooling centers’ – ‘We have not seen battle like this since the 1990s when the East Coast Rappers battled the West Coast Rappers’
Broadcast August 9, 2023 - Morano: "You have the New York Times telling us we can't travel anymore because our air conditioning has made the earth so uninhabitable that now we're forced to stay home and huddle around the air conditioner. See: NYT: More people will find themselves confronting personal and increasingly tough decisions — and, like Ms. Barber, perhaps choosing a less appealing but more comfortable option: 'We just all stayed home and huddled in a room with the air-conditioner on,' she said."
But, this is now a battle between the bicoastal elites. The LA Times is telling people they can't stay home huddled around their air conditioner because you can't have individual air conditioning in your home. You got to go to community 'cooling centers', which government will provide public transportation to and from. See: LA Times: Instead of air conditioning running in your home during heatwaves, the LA Times interviews experts suggesting "investing in a wider network of cooling centers, with transportation to help people get there."
The New York Times vs. the La Times in a battle of bicoastal elites. This is like the old rappers' battle from the 1990s. The East Coast Rappers versus the West Coast Rappers. I think the LA Times is going to win this battle because the idea of having a cooling center and no air conditioning in your home seems to be the future -- they're controlling our thermostats as they did in Colorado last summer.

Watch: Morano on Rebel TV explains how arson is ignored while blaming wildfires on ‘climate change’Broadcast July 31, 2023 - Rebel TV - Ezra Levant Show
Marc told Ezra that the same principles that apply to making people think they'll win money at a casino or in the lottery are being used to sell climate hysteria:
Morano: "I call it the 'casino effect'. You walk in a casino, and you see a wall of slot machine winners. There's a $10,000 winner, there's a $100,000 winner — look that person won $300,000. [And you think to yourself], I've got to play the slots, everyone's winning. It gives you the impression that everywhere, they're paying out huge sums and you've got to play because you're going to be a winner too. Your chances of winning the lottery are very low. The chance of someone somewhere winning the lottery is very high.
So what they do with wildfires, and all extreme weather, is they highlight every single event to show you this is some kind of unprecedented record-breaking event and they combine them all over. You can always find a lottery winner, you can always find a slot machine winner, and they put (extreme weather stories) together on the nightly news and the corporate media and they run with it as though it's unprecedented — it's not."

Bernie Sanders continues to rail against fossil fuels, insists all nations phase out relianceClimate Depot founder Marc Morano, who criticized Sanders’ op-ed for piling on to the seemingly endless outcries of climate change. "Every day we wake up and find some new unelected bureaucrat is seeking to ban something to save the climate," Morano said. "Every day we're bombarded with unscientific claims of how the Earth is in some kind of unprecedented meltdown as every politician yammers on about the alleged 'climate crisis'."
"This is nothing more than a shakedown," Morano told Just the News. "Sen. Sanders is proposing politicians and Attorney Generals have the ability to blame every bad weather event on fossil fuel companies and extort them for huge sums of money, which, then, the politicians can use to help get themselves reelected and fill the government coffers." "Make no mistake: Allowing Senator Sanders and Democrats to get huge checks from fossil fuel companies will not in any way change the weather or the climate, but it will make a lot of climate activists and bureaucrats richer," he added.


Watch: Morano on Fox News w/ Jesse Watters on how arsonists are responsible for ‘climate’ wildfires – Not ‘climate change’ – ‘There are other forces at work’Fox News Channel - Jesse Watters Primetime - Broadcast July 28, 2023 - Are arsonists responsible for global wildfires? 'The Green Fraud' author Marc Morano says there are 'other forces at work' as wildfires rage across the planet on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'

.

Morano: "Arson, of course, happened in the United States. Jesse, you mentioned the Yosemite fires. What that was a Democratic donor who had actually given to Democratic candidates started the fire. So we have Democratic politicians blaming wildfires on climate change when in reality it was one of their donors who actually started the wildfire. And this goes on in Australia 42 percent of the Australian fires were said to be caused by mankind. They've had 700 unnatural fires started and over 250 arrests a few years ago in Australia.
This is a global problem of people starting fires. Now is it climate change? Well, this would be the equivalent of blowing up a dam or sabotaging a dam and allowing a valley to flood and then saying 'Oh look, climate change is causing more floods.' There are other forces at work here, Jesse."

Jesse Watters: "All right Marc. Thank you so much. You're always on top of this. We appreciate it."

Biden Moves Closer to Declaring a Climate Emergency – ‘Could see gas rationing, restrictions on electricity use, & limits on air travel’ & meatHeartland Institute: President Joe Biden and the UN are likely to declare an “official” global climate emergency next week. All the signs are there. The chatter, and the behind the scenes maneuvering. The UN’s website now has a climate emergency page. Biden the other day stopped short, but when the new temperature numbers are issued on August 15 by NOAA, that may be all the justification Biden needs. The “melting in Antarctica and the supposed subsequent sea level rise” will be another, and Lahaina in Maui burning to the ground will be cited as yet another.
If Biden declares a climate emergency, will climate lockdowns follow? History suggests “yes.” In a plausible scenario, we could see gas rationing, restrictions on electricity use, and limits on air travel. Enjoy steaks? Well, you can forget those.


White House: ‘All’ Big Storms ‘We Continue to See Are Definitely Caused’ by Warming, Might Declare EmergencyWhite House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that President Joe Biden hasn’t decided whether he’ll declare a national emergency on climate and that “all the severe storms” that “we continue to see are definitely caused as a result of what’s going on in the rising temperature across the globe.”
Kirby said, “The President hasn’t made a decision yet on declaring a national emergency on climate, Poppy. But, for all intents and purposes, he’s treating this with all the due gravity and the seriousness that the climate crisis deserves. It’s been a focus for him since day one.”
"As an administration, we’re going to stay focused on the climate crisis. It is front and center. It is right in front of us. And these wildfires and all the severe storms that we’re — that we continue to see are definitely caused as a result of what’s going on in the rising temperature across the globe. And so, we’ve got to treat this seriously.”


‘Vampire charging’: Electric Vehicle Charges Grid: ‘EVs can feed excess power back to the grid during peak demand, helping to prevent blackouts’ – ‘Vehicle-to-grid charging’Terence West reported Wednesday for EnergyPortal that “PG&E, is exploring the potential of electric vehicles (EVs) to support the state’s fragile power grid.” What that means in practice is that CEO Patti Poppe wants a future where “EVs can feed excess power back to the grid during peak demand, helping to prevent blackouts.” ...
The concept, known as “vehicle-to-grid” charging, involves sending power from an EV’s battery back to the grid while the car is parked and plugged in. This technology is still in its early stages and faces significant costs, hindering widespread adoption. However, EVs could play a crucial role in ensuring grid stability during periods of high energy demand and solar power shortages. ...
Then there’s the matter of cost. “To encourage drivers to participate in bidirectional charging,” West conceded in his report, “utilities may need to offer incentives such as monetary compensation for the kilowatt hours contributed.”

Except when it’s really hot’ – ‘This summer has been rubbish in UK…It’s been cold, wet’Both NASA and the ESA reported that the Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano eruption in January 2022 increased the amount of stratospheric water vapour by a minimum of 10%, possibly up to 30%. So vast was this expulsion of H2O that it is likely to increase average global temperatures for several years to come. If you are looking for LM reports on the staggering global climate impact of this event, don’t bother. There aren’t any.

Biden: I’ve Declared a Climate Emergency ‘Practically Speaking’

CNN: ‘Biden incorrectly claims he has declared a national emergency on climate’CNN: While Biden has taken a series of significant legislative and executive steps to combat climate change, he has stopped short of declaring a national emergency, which would unlock sweeping new federal authorities and funds to combat the climate crisis. Climate activists have called on Biden since the earliest days of his presidency to declare a national emergency. ... The president seemed close to declaring a climate emergency in the summer of 2022 after it appeared Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, had tanked the Inflation Reduction Act – Biden’s signature climate and health care bill. In a July 20, 2022, speech in Massachusetts, Biden strongly hinted that he could declare an emergency.


Politico: Biden says he has ‘practically’ declared a climate emergency. But he actually hasn’t…YET – ‘Would give him a host of new powers to combat climate change’“We’ve already done that,” Biden said Wednesday when asked whether he was prepared to declare a national climate emergency during an interview on The Weather Channel. “We’ve conserved more land, we’ve moved into rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. We’ve got a $60 billion climate control facility.” When pressed about whether he has actually declared an emergency, Biden responded, “Practically speaking, yes.”

However, no such declaration has come from the White House. Experts say Biden could invoke the 1976 National Emergencies Act to give himself the power to order the manufacture of clean energy technology, deploy renewables on military bases, block crude oil exports or even suspend offshore drilling — though that would require compensation to the owners. Though the law limits emergency declarations to one year, it could be renewed annually to address the increasingly troubling impacts of climate change.

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration plans to announce on Wednesday a new federal system to track heat-related illness nationwide and is considering additional measures amid pressure to do more to help Americans deal with crippling summer heat, according to White House officials.
The new national dashboard, which will be overseen by the Health and Human Services Department, maps emergency services responding to heat-related illness calls across the country, officials said. The “EMS HeatTracker” is intended to help ensure sufficient medical aid gets to Americans who need it most during severe heat, officials said.
“Heat is no longer a silent killer. From coast-to-coast, communities are battling to keep people cool, safe and alive due to the growing impacts of the climate crisis,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “President Biden is committed to providing communities with the resources they need to stay safe.”
Federal data shows that millions have experienced unprecedented stretches of record-breaking temperatures, with little respite, making heat waves the largest weather-related killer nationwide.
Biden is under increasing pressure from lawmakers, local and state elected officials and Americans across the country to do more to address an extreme heat crisis that has defined the summer of 2023. The issue has elicited calls from some of the president’s key supporters as he campaigns for reelection — namely climate activists and elected Democrats — to take stronger action, such as formally declaring a climate “emergency.”
While the president hasn’t formally declared a climate emergency, he argued in a recent interview that his administration has “in practice.” “We already done that. Nationally, we’ve conserved more land. We’ve moved into rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. We passed a $360 billion climate control facility,” he said.
White House officials said discussions about possible additional measures are ongoing. For now, they hope Wednesday’s announcement will be welcomed,while acknowledging some limitations the government has when it comes to heat.
Officials said the “EMS HeatTracker” will break down patient characteristics by age, race, gender and urbanicity so local officials can better understand which populations are most at-risk for heat-related illness or death.
More people die from extreme heat than floods, hurricanes and tornadoes combined, according to National Weather Service figures cited by Biden this week. But the Federal Emergency Management Agency is restricted in what it can do to allocate critical resources for heat crises in the way it can for other deadly disasters.
Lawmakers like Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego, who introduced the “Extreme Heat Emergency Act” in June, are calling on the Biden administration to do more, particularly to address recent life-threatening temperatures in Phoenix, which saw 31 straight days of 110-degree highs.
Gallego told MSNBC on Tuesday that he personally appealed to Biden on the tarmac after Air Force One touched down in Arizona this week.
“It’s only going to get worse. FEMA has not been very responsive to this growing problem. We Arizonans pay taxes to the federal government and we should be able to receive some of those services back because it is severely taxing a lot of our municipalities and counties trying to deal with this extreme heat,” Gallego said. “We need them to understand that this is a very severe situation.”
For many, the unrelenting heat in places like Phoenix has led residents to alter the way they do basic, everyday tasks.
Valerie Harris, who chairs a local Democratic Party organization, said that she wakes up before dawn just to walk her family’s two 10-pound dogs so they don’t suffer in the heat.
“I’ve lived here more than 50 years. It’s literally getting hotter and hotter,” Harris said. One of her dogs, a chihuahua, “has no hair and it’s too hot for him. The pavement gets so hot. We get up literally before the sun comes up so that we can walk him around the block.”
Marilyn Behrens, secretary of the group, said: “The overnight lows are so warm. When it doesn’t get below 90 degrees at night, it exhausts you in a different way.”


Arizona officials have pointed to the fact that the nighttime is considered just as dangerous as the daytime in some instances because high temperatures aren’t coming down enough and many people can’t afford the proper air conditioning to contend with such overwhelming warmth.
…
Last month, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities urged Congress to act quickly in a series of letters.
“Enabling extreme heat events as eligible for disaster declarations would widen the amount of crucial federal resources available to cities as they continue to work towards saving lives, protecting infrastructure, and adapting to the impacts of a rapidly warming climate,” wrote Tom Cochran, CEO of the Conference of Mayors, which represents 1,400 cities.
Typically, when a major winter storm is looming, states and municipalities can ask the federal government for things like snow plows or heating centers. That’s not the case with oppressive heat.
The White House has taken action to help Americans battle blazing temperatures but states like California, Arizona and Nevada say they would like to see even more cooling centers and water stations for those who are experiencing homelessness.
One of the challenges, even if FEMA could declare a disaster for heat, would be deciding how to deploy teams to a weather event that could span dozens of states at a time and could go on for unpredictable amount of time, whereas other natural disasters are usually more limited in location and duration.
Another issue is just how FEMA would delegate resources, since it currently offers individual and public assistance for damage from things like tornadoes and hurricanes, but heat affects people more than it does infrastructure.
In its existence, FEMA has only received three requests for extreme heat declarations (two in 1980 and one in 1995), and all were denied because “they did not demonstrate that state and local capacity had been exceeded,” an agency spokesperson said.
“The most effective way to save lives from extreme heat incidents will be through an increased focus on preparedness and resilience,” the spokesperson told NBC News. “Key actions include improved messaging and public education, modifying structures and landscapes to reduce urban heat impacts, and addressing economic issues or other community challenges that result in lack of access to air conditioning.”
Some cities have appointed chief heat officers to help manage the blistering temperatures. White House officials said the president fully supports such moves, encouraging states to do everything they can on their own.

3 New Studies Conclude 21st Century Cold Temps Led To 7-10 Times More Deaths Than Warm Temps
Lancet’s Heat-Related Deaths Con Trick: ‘Lancet conveniently forget to mention that cold kills far more people than warmth does’
Bjorn Lomborg: ‘Warming saves 166,000 lives each year:Heat deaths make up about 1% of global fatalities a year—almost 600,000 deaths—but cold kills eight times as many people, totaling 4.5 million deaths annually. As temperatures have risen since 2000, heat deaths have increased 0.21%, while cold deaths have dropped 0.51%. Today about 116,000 more people die from heat each year, but 283,000 fewer die from cold. Global warming now prevents more than 166,000 temperature-related fatalities annually.

Recent scientific research has countered the claims of a health threat from climate change.
After 100 years of climate change, ‘climate-related deaths’ approach zero – Dropped by over 99% since 1920

Meteorologist Anthony Watts: “New data shows the global climate-related death risk has dropped by over 99% since 1920. Despite the near constant caterwauling from climate alarmists that we are in a “climate emergency”, real-world data, release at the end of 2020 shows that climate related deaths are now approaching zero. The data spans 100 years of “global warming” back to 1920 and shows “climate related” deaths now approaching zero. Above is an update of the graph in the 2020 peer-reviewed article by Bjørn Lomborg: Welfare in the 21st century: Increasing development, reducing inequality, the impact of climate change, and the cost of climate policies.”

‘Climate Homicide’: New paper in Harvard Env. Law Review calls for ‘prosecuting’ big U.S. oil firms for ‘climate deaths’

UK Guardian: Authors of paper accepted for publication in Harvard Environmental Law Review argue firms are ‘killing members of the public at an accelerating rate’
Climate Homicide: Prosecuting Big Oil For Climate Deaths – Harvard Environmental Law Review, Vol. 48, No. 1, 2024
‘Climate homicide’: Could Big Oil be sued for disaster deaths? ‘Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Death’ urges new paper in the Harvard Environmental Law Review– The paper, “Climate Homicide: Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Death” — written by Arkush and Donald Braman, an associate professor at George Washington University Law School — will be published next spring in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. “We concluded there aren’t really any legal or factual barriers to prosecution,” Arkush said.

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano Response: “The wacky world of climate change strikes again! Blaming fossil fuel companies for ‘climate homicide’ is all part of the plan to merge public health and climate change. We have already seen a doctor diagnose the first patient in the world as suffering from ‘climate change’ in 2021.” See:B.C. doctor clinically diagnoses patient as suffering from ‘climate change’ – ‘Picked up his patient’s chart & penned in the words ‘climate change’

Morano: “Climate change concerns are also limiting medical treatments for patients. We have seen calls for cancer treatments to be cognizant of its ‘carbon footprint’ and efforts to restrict anesthesia based on climate concerns. We already have academics demanding that ‘climate change’ be added to death certificates as a cause of death.” See:Calls to add ‘climate change’ to death certificates – New study demands ‘climate change’ be added as ‘pre-existing condition’
Morano: “Of course, the reality is exactly the opposite. During the era of fear about ‘global warming,’ climate-related deaths have dropped dramatically, proving that mankind has adapted to climate change by using the very oil and other fossil fuels that Harvard Law now wants to charge companies with murder over!” See:After 100 years of climate change, ‘climate-related deaths’ approach zero – Dropped by over 99% since 1920

Get ready CNN and MSNBC to pound stories like this frequently, and couple it with daily tallies of an alleged climate change “death toll”, all designed to spur calls for the need to take drastic “climate action” to stop the deaths from our alleged “climate emergency.”
