Don't worry as promised by the World Economic Forum and their minions like Biden, Harris, AOC, Trudeau, etc. all those union paying jobs will be replaced with high paying jobs in renewable energy except for the fact stats show that they actually make way less but that is just a formality. Same as global warming or now of course they had to change to climate change as the earth is getting cooler as the sun enters a solar minimum which even NASA has confirmed but again just a formality. Science like the rule of law no longer exists in the US or anywhere in the west as they simply make it up as they go along from lockdowns to masks to social distancing to climate BS to election fraud to censoring especially the riots still going on in some cities by BLM, Antifa to vaccines, etc, etc, etc.

“Why Global Warming was a Total Farce & it’s Now Incorporated into the Great Reset”

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, your computer and you have been correct on everything from politics to markets and even climate. You said we would be headed back to global cooling. Was this based on the solar waves of energy from the sun?

Thank you for the thought-provoking blog

ANSWER: This is the Western Plague in research. They always seek to reduce whatever it is to a single cause and effect. I am so tired of this nonsense about CO2. Here in Flordia, we had a red tide and instantly the politicians were blaming it on farmers that certainly are not in this area. All I did was Google red times and there it was, the first one reported was by the Spanis during the 17th century long before farmers in Florida using chemicals.

The output of energy from the Sun oscillates but that is NOT the single cause of the effects of global warming and cooling. There are other aspects that come into play such as Arctic Oscillations.

The Arctic Oscillation (AO) refers to an atmospheric circulation pattern over the mid-to-high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. The most obvious reflection of the phase of this oscillation is the north-to-south location of the storm-steering, mid-latitude jet stream. Thus, the AO can have a strong influence on weather and climate in major population centers in North America, Europe, and Asia, especially during winter. This is something the Climate Change people seem to be oblivious to these days.

The Weather forecasters are probable much to blame because they will refer to the Jet Stream dipping down which brings cold and ice storms to Texas for example. However, what seems to NEVER be articulated is what makes the Jet Stream dip in the first place? The AO’s positive phase is characterized by lower-than-average air pressure over the Arctic paired with higher-than-average pressure over the northern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The jet stream is farther north than average under these conditions, and storms can be shifted northward of their usual paths. Thus, the mid-latitudes of North America, Europe, Siberia, and East Asia generally see fewer cold air outbreaks than usual during the positive phase of the AO.

Conversely, AO’s negative phase has higher-than-average air pressure over the Arctic region and lower-than-average pressure over the northern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The jet stream shifts toward the equator under these conditions, so the globe-encircling river of air is south of its average position. Consequently, locations in the mid-latitudes are more likely to experience outbreaks of frigid, polar air during winters when the AO is negative. In New England, for example, higher frequencies of coastal storms known as “Nor’easters” are linked to AO’s negative phase.

Now look closely at this chart. Note that the strong negative spikes down were going into 1970 and again in the mid-1970s. I really cannot explain why in the West science seems to be void of really comprehending that everything functions in a cycle. Because the summer in 2020 was hot, they immediately say it’s global warming and I am wrong. They shut up then now 50% of the country is freezing. During the 1970s, we had climate charlatans calling for a new ice age. Looking at this no different than any time series, the low was 1977 at -3.767 which was followed by a gradual warming trend where the high took place in 1993 at 3.495 and the low thereafter was 2010 at -4.266. Thereafter, the AO index swung up into 2020 at 3.417 which was a retest of the 1993 high.

However, 2020 then went into a Panic Cycle and by year-end, it had closed negative extremely rapidly. This warned that the extreme heat into 2020 would then be followed by a crash into extreme cold into 2021. It will be extremely cold post-2032 into 2037. We are looking at wild swings and post 2032, we are likely to make new historic lows in this index which will be very cold temperatures. By shutting down fossil fuels, this may become the primary reason for the drop in population post-2032 that our model is suggesting most likely brought on malnutrition as food shortages dominate the end of this cycle.

Here we have the front cover of Time Magazine predicting climate change back to an ice age. That was dated January 31, 1977 corresponding to the sharp spike down into a negative AO in 1977.

The extreme cold also hit in 2010. I remember in New Jersey, we had not seen snow like that since I was a kid.

2020 closed negative warning that this winter would be a highly volatile and cold year which may even exceed 1977 or 2010 on the negative side with respect to the AO index.

We now have the World Economic Forum, Bill Gates, and Al Gore, all swearing the global warming trend from the 1977 low into the 1990s was all man-made added by soccer-moms drive the kids around. I just cannot get over the total lack of any scientific investigation that is now being used to destroy economies and jobs because these people are total idiots when it comes to understanding weather, science, or cycles.

No worries, you will NEVER read anything about cycles in mainstream media. They will NEVER print anything along these lines because they will NOT tolerate any possible debate. The United Nations needs the climate change argument for that is the only way they can gain power. They argue that no single country can stop global warming. It will take a one-world government with mandatory compliance by member states. Yes, my bias is to freedom whereas their agenda is to suppress the world.

Then there is the complexity of the Milankovitch Cycles. The climate activists dismiss it because they argue while physical evidence shows that the variation in Earth’s climate is much more extreme than the variation in the intensity of solar radiation calculated as the Earth’s orbit evolves. If orbital forcing causes climate change, science needs to explain why the observed effect is amplified out of linear proportion to the theoretical cause. They simply do not understand the complexity and it cannot be reduced to a single cause and effect as they have done with CO2.

Still, there is other research the United Nations ignores because they are using climate change to argue for a one-world government. The real experts on the oceans and how they function were at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. It was in 1956 when they published A theory of Ice Age by Maurice Ewing and William Donn. They were the most influential oceanographers to date, yet the Global Warming people have completely ignored their work and bastardized it for political gain. The core of what they unveiled was that if the Arctic Ocean would get warmer and the ice melted, this would signal an Ice Age, not the sinking of coastal cities. A warmer Arctic Ocean would mean that water would flow more freely between it and the Atlantic, dissipating the cold making the Atlantic colder. There is the key to an Ice Age. If all the ice melted in the Arctic Ocean leaving open water that was then warmer by mixing with the Atlantic, then a warmer Arctic Ocean surrounded by colder land around it would produce evaporation and that water would then return back to the land as snow. More snow that falls in Greenland and Northern Canada is what makes glaciers grow deeper. When the Arctic Ocean is covered in ice, then there is NO EVAPORATION and thus we do not move into an Ice Age.

We are dealing with people who think only in a single dimension and constantly try to reduce everything to a single cause and effect. They are seriously causing the West to collapse and their theories of Climate Change are leading us into absolute disaster post-2032. They will not tolerate opposition. To further illustrate my point, Joe Biden has taken down your right to Petition the White House. The petition system has been around for many years. There were hundreds of active petitions but Biden did not want petitions filed because of his Great Reset and Climate Change agenda. If you had previously gotten 100,000 signatures, the White House was supposed to give an answer.

Under his previous Obama Administration, there was the “Free Assange” petition that the Obama Administration was obligated to answer. Biden does not want to answer anything with respect to his Build Back Better or Climate Change Agenda where he is taking direction from the United Nations and the World Economic Forum. So much for We the People! Biden is doing the very same thing as Big Tech – censorship. The Biden White House does not promote unity nor does it represent 49.6% of the population it did not win. Biden has fully embraced that Cancel culture where someone is shutdown from social or professional circles both online and in the real world. Those who are subject to this ostracism are said to be “canceled” so Biden has canceled 49.6% of the American public. Trump’s lawyer has been canceled by the law school for representing Trump during the impeachment. Lawyers are supposed to defend even the guilty. Looks like this is one law school you better not attend!

Anyone who believes in man made climate change is either uninformed or completely dishonest. CO2 levels rise and fall in direct response to changes in the earths temperature, they do not cause changes in the earths temperature. The 2 to 3 ppm increase we see in CO2 levels every year is consistent with the 1 degree per century temperature rise the earth is undergoing from coming out of the Little Ice Age over 200 years ago. Two thirds of all man made CO2 was dumped into the atmosphere between 1995 and 2015 and didn't even tweak that 2 to 3 ppm per year projection. We are destroying the national economy and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Canadians either out of stupidity or criminality.

Steve Williams, the chief executive of Suncor, has said that his company will stay in the oilsands for 100 or 200 years, solving carbon technological problems as it goes.

"We will earn the right to be here for the next 100 or 200 years. We have an absolutely world-class resource that's been given to us Canadians," said Williams at an anniversary event in Fort McMurray.

I went to google Martin Armstrong to see why I should read this, if I should.

Martin Arthur Armstrong (born November 1, 1949) is an American self-taught[1] economic forecaster and convicted felon who spent 11 years in jail for cheating investors out of $700 million and hiding $15 million in assets from regulators.[1]

Well Mr. Armstrong... that's not a good start. I guess people will really believe whatever it is they want to believe.

Why did AB lay off thousands of nurses during a pandemic and slash post secondary education, while giving every possible break to big oil?

There is more to the economy than oil. Oil workers aren’t some kind of hero that need to be worshipped.

GM shuts plant in Oshawa, crickets from AB.
Oil workers at risk, END OF THE WORLD OMG!!

This problem is very much "socialism in the streets, and capitalism in the sheets". When all is fine and dandy, sure give oil workers all the high paying jobs with little to no specialty or training. When their jobs become obsolete, you want to deny climate change and subsidize their industry now?

Can't have it both ways, my friend.

It's weird right, Albertans and the Alberta government (for some strange reason) seem to care about jobs in their province - why oh why could that be? Seriously mate, if that auto plant was in Alberta they'd be screaming bloody murder! And if all the oil was in Manitoba or Ontario or Quebec, their respective governments and residents would also be screaming bloody murder!

Yeah and when there is one single tree left the lumber industry will cut it down to save jobs.

I was not clear.
Why is Alberta fine with slashing healthcare and education while going all out to save oilfield jobs?
I lived there for years. The idolisation of anything to do with oil is nuts.

The shift away from oil is inevitable, and helping the Alberta economy and employment shift away from it with retraining and support now will be less painful in the long run. If politicians took a long term view instead of no farther than the next electoral cycle we would all be better served.

If Canada and Alberta don't make the shift we will become increasingly isolated among western nations and be excluded from trade and cooperation. If we think our trading partners will just look the other way as Canada becomes a dinosaur we are kidding ourselves. We will be uncompetitive in new technologies if we insist on massive subsidies to oil at the expense of other industries. Change needs to happen now.

Do you honestly believe that in the last 6 or so years, there have been more healthcare job losses in Alberta compared to more oil industry job losses? Even when things are bad in the oil business; Alberta spends more per capita on healthcare and education than pretty much every other province - that's a fact - more than BC, more than Ontario, etc.! One only need to look at the starting salary of a 1st year nurse in BC vs Alberta to know that Alberta pays alot more per capita on healthcare. And here's the dots you can't seem to connect - those provincial dollars to pay for all the healthcare and education come from tax revenues - tax revenues that are (to a certain degree) provided by the oil industry. So when the oil business is good, provincial spending goes up and when the oil business is not good, provincial spending goes down - I know right, you're mind must be blown!

You don't even need to have lived in Alberta for years to understand the very logical relationship between tax revenues and government expenditures - when tax revenues go down, provincial spending tends to go down and when tax revenues go up, provincial spending tends to go up. This is not an Alberta phenomenon, it happens with all governments! So if you want nurses and doctors in Alberta to continue to be paid the highest in the country, then naturally, you would want the Government of Alberta to have more revenues to pay for it - which means, given the composition of their economy, you should be advocating for a strong oil industry in Alberta (because they pay a boatload into provincial coffers). You can't have a strong public sector (i.e. healthcare system, education system, roads, etc.) WITHOUT A STRONG AND HEALTHY PRIVATE SECTOR! It's the private sector that provide the tax revenues - as the old political saying goes, it's the economy stupid!

Now, if you're like some people, and are happy that the oil industry in Alberta (and in Canada) is hurting and has been for the last several years - so be it, that's your right to dislike whatever industry you want to dislike. But you can't then start complaining out of the other side of your mouth and whine/bemoan cuts in Government spending on healthcare, etc. You might want it both ways, but as is the case in life, you can't have it both ways - you can't be happy that the "dirty oil" business is suffering in Alberta than complain that healthcare spending is cut as a result. You can't have your cake and eat it too - in life, you generally have to pick your poison!

Financial blogger "dustinthewind" posts amongst posters who sometimes make analogy quoting scripture. Referencing Martin Arthur Armstrong, I suppose says something about Christian forgiveness after prison time served and penchant for home schooling. More than that, the academic secular reference to "deplorables" during the US election.

Until someone figures out a way to fly a 747 full of people on electric motors powered by batteries I don’t see oil going away. I don’t see the CPR converting to electric locomotives any time soon and the myriad of cargo ships plying the oceans won’t be running on batteries in the forseable future. Oil isn’t going to disappear for many years.

I agree that Oil use will not disappear, but it will likely be reserved for those industries like rail and shipping that need the power of internal combustion engines. These highly dependant forms of moving goods are also comparatively efficient. Nothing is going to change over night, but as we move away from oil in many sectors the cheapest and cleanest means of oil production will be favoured by the increasingly green aware world. Unfortunately oil from bitumen is neither cheap nor clean to produce, therefore Alberta must move it's economy now before the world no longer wants it's oil. Unfortunately Canada's oil economy will be taken away by market forces long before oil itself disappears.
