Mother Nature loves to confuse

In the midst of a mid-western heat wave in the US with record temperatures being recorded for June in many places global warming jumps to the lead explanation. But reality is often full of counter examples begging for an explanation. Many areas in the US are simultaneously recording their record lows for June. And not only the US is experiencing cool June temperatures. Sweden had a cool, wet June. As did the UK.

While the 'heat trapping' qualities of CO2 are exhibited in some states others are shivering despite their local atmospheres being loaded with just as much CO2. This should tell us that CO2 has nothing to do with setting record high temperatures and send us off in another direction for an explanation that fits both sets of facts.

We might want to look at the movement of cold and warm air masses as well as the behavior of the jet stream for an explanation. Neither will have anything to do with the amount of CO2 in the air.

This won't interest those who are vested in the CAGW theory as their path to social justice. It is important to demonize CO2 so that green solutions can be imposed on people that will transfer wealth from the haves to the have-nots.

It is interesting to note that the US through energy efficiencies has been reducing its CO2 output without any mandates from the Feds.

This is not true in the developing world at least partly because of their reliance on pre-coal methods of energy production and use. Supporting evidence comes from the Japanese Ibuku satellite.
