When Did Changing Weather Become Climate Change?

What’s the difference between weather and climate? According to the National Weather Service, weather is the atmosphere's state at a specific time and place, involving temperature, moisture, wind, and pressure. Climate, on the other hand, is the long-term average of these conditions over significant periods. In simple terms, weather is short-term (days to weeks), while climate is long-term (years to centuries).

Currently, the weather is sunny and warm, but it was snowy and cold just a week ago. Some might call this climate change, but it’s just natural weather variation. The United Nations defines climate change as long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, which can occur naturally but have significantly been driven by human activities since the 1800s, chiefly through fossil fuel consumption.

The Earth’s temperature has fluctuated throughout its history, including significant changes 10,000 years ago when glaciers melted. The UN, however, claims humans are the primary driver of modern climate change without clarifying how earlier significant climate changes occurred with little human impact.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports alarming findings about climate changes that are unprecedented in thousands of years, leading to irreversible changes such as sea level rise. However, the claim that today's climate is "unprecedented" warrants scrutiny, as researchers have accessed data showing the Earth’s temperature has varied more than previously thought and that current temperatures are low compared to historical data.

Historical records show significant climate fluctuations, such as the freezing of the Thames River multiple times from 1309 to 1814, illustrating that cold weather occurred even without modern influences. Today, contradictions in media reports highlight short-term weather patterns labeled as climate change, such as drought followed by severe flooding in Spain, showing different weather extremes.

Major media outlets like The Guardian and CNN also struggle with consistent narratives around climate change. In one year, they claimed both extreme drought and severe flooding in Spain were due to climate change. This inconsistency suggests that all variations in weather are attributed to climate change, creating a distorted view of how weather operates.

Confirmation bias plays a role in shaping people's perceptions surrounding climate change, selectively interpreting data that fits their worldview. Moreover, the IPCC admits that long-term climate predictions are inherently unreliable due to the chaotic nature of the climate system, yet many climate activists claim to predict future scenarios with certainty.

There are calls to consider new perspectives on climate narratives, as seen in Joel Gilbert's film that critiques the established narrative around climate emergencies. Contrarily, some proponents insist that strict regulations are needed to control human impact on the climate, often overlooking natural climate fluctuations throughout history.

The climate is indeed always changing, and rising temperatures might occur regardless of meant interventions. Attempts to regulate nature might lead to unintended consequences, highlighting the complexity of climate systems and human interaction.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

FDA & U.S. Postal Service Linked to Black Market Abortion Pill Cartels.

 Mexico-based drug cartels facilitating an increase in unauthorized, self-conducted abortions in the United States continue unimpeded partly due to insufficient regulation by the Food and Drug Administration and the United States Postal Service, according to a report by the American Life League. Katie Brown, ALL's national director, criticizes the FDA and USPS for failing to adequately regulate the distribution and screening of abortion-inducing drugs like Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Subscribe here The report, titled Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel, highlights the operations of Las Libres, a Mexico-based organization that advocates for universal abortion access. It promotes the distribution of abortion pills through online networks, reaching women and girls across the U.S., often sending the drugs via USPS. RISKS. ALL emphasizes that these pills frequently come from unregulated sources, heightening the risks of additional harmful substances being prese...

James Ray Epps Breaks Federal Law Lying To FBI Agents, Again, In Never Before Released Leaked Audio: ‘You Are The Boss’

 The Gateway Pundit has obtained more leaked audio of James Ray Epps' providing materially false statements during an abnormally friendly interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigations about his role in the Capitol riot, a crime punishable by up to eight years in prison. Joined by his attorney John Blischak, a former FBI agent, and his wife Robyn Epps during a voluntary March 3, 2021 interview, Epps assured the feds while laughing and cracking jokes that he only traveled from Arizona to Washington, DC to protect his son James Ray Epps Jry and "Try to deescalate" a "Raging" crowd amid a terrorist attack he suspected would transpire involving a bomb. On the 8th, Epps insisted at least fourteen times that he only traveled to DC to "Try to calm them down." Conspicuously, in thousands of hours of January 6 footage, Epps is never seen with his son. Epps claimed Baked Alaska, who served 60 days in prison for protesting at the Capitol, was to blame for in...
