When the Washington Post set out to map 485 million years of global temperatures, they uncovered an inconvenient truth in the climate change story: Earth’s been on a 50-million-year cool-down. ZeroHedge has more:
In recent years, particularly around mid-July (the peak of the Northern Hemisphere summer), there has been a noticeable surge in headlines featuring the “hottest day” ever on record in corporate media outlets – which is of course pushed by climate alarmist journalists citing questionable studies. This timing coincides with hot weather, so naturally, it’s quite convincing to persuade readers that the world’s oceans are boiling and planet Earth will ignite into a fireball unless drastic actions are taken – such as more climate taxes, ‘carbon credits’, banning cow farts, prohibiting new petrol-powered vehicle sales by X date and pushing spending bills to procure more solar panels from China, to save the planet.
The problem is that corporate media only focuses on recent history – and not “in context” (as they love to say). Context is particularly important when it comes to climate change – as their narrative collapses when looking at a long enough timeline.
To wit… a funny thing happened when the Washington Post tried to map out half a billion years of global temperatures and the “disaster of global warming” …
WaPo journalists cited a new study about Earth’s global surface temperatures over the last 485 million years. In 2023, Earth’s average temperature reached 14.98°C, well below the average 36°C the study showed around 100 million years ago. The trend shows Earth’s temperatures have been sliding for 50 million years. …
Maybe, just maybe, the level of human-caused global warming doom porn pushed by the Government, corporate media outlets, global NGOs and far-Left billionaires is not as apocalyptic as they make it sound.
