A Winter Message John Shanahan with comment by Howard Lowe December 21, 2023
Greetings! Most of the human population lives in the Northern Hemisphere where December has the longest night of the year. It is cold. Plants are dormant. Animals are less active. Birds and butterflies have migrated to warmer climates. In the silence of the winter nights, there is a special wonder for the human spirit. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Winter Festivals that have been celebrated for at least 2000 years. This year, there are more sad stories and things to fear than in better times. Many politicians and power seeking evil people desiring power over others are working hard to create fear and misery when there is so much we can be happy and joyful about. Here are four photos that say a lot about the health of nature and climate. People should appreciate this and try to emulate these wonders in our personal lives.

WINTER
This winter scene tells a story of weather the whole year through and long term weather patterns - climate. It says that all four seasons are IDEAL for this tree to thrive. Winter is cold enough to produce this incredible scene of ice magic. There is no sign of catastrophic man-made global warming from use of fossil fuels

SPRING
Forsythia are a first sign of spring in many parts of the world. In Germany, forsythia bushes are part of an important scientific data set that proves the catastrophic man-made global warming fear mongers are completely wrong. Since the 1950s, scientists in Hamburg have recorded the date of the first forsythia blossoms at the exact same spot, the Lombard Bridge. If the world were getting warmer, then there must be a clear trend of the forsythia blooming earlier and earlier. But that is not the case in Hamburg. The date of the first forsythia blossoms is getting later in the year. A sign of cooling.

For twenty eight years, the United Nations Conference of the Parties, COP, has met and people seeking unjust powers over humanity have proclaimed that the world is getting warmer and warmer, even "boiling" because of our evil use of fossil fuels that created the wonderful modern world with plentiful energy and 6000 incredible by-products. See Ronald Stein. For most of the last five hundred years, the weather and climate around the world has been wonderful and beautiful. The main troubles have been periods of cold weather with crop failures and mass starvation. How fear-mongers in the UN, the World Economic Forum, the European Union, Australia, Canada and the USA, who scheme to gain terrible power over humanity, get by with their false alarms about humans creating a climate crisis is a mystery to scientists and engineers.

Comment by Howard Lowe, Geologist How far are we getting when colleges, universities, high schools and even grammar schools are loaded with Diversion, Equity and Inclusion, DEI, training and Woke teachers. Kids can't read beyond 4th grade levels, they know nothing about history. They know nothing of science or mathematics. And we allow them to demonstrate against Israel - these are not protests or demonstrations; they are a hideous return to Holocaust time.
