Climate Ambulance Chasers Without Borders! Every Location Now Designated The Climate “Ground Zero”

As the pause extends and many regions not cooperating with the earlier forecasts on a number of measures, climate alarmists and activists media have been left with chasing isolated weather events across the globe and designating them the “ground zero” of climate.

Reader Jimbo has complied a list of these so-called “climate ground zeros”, scattered all over the world, in places as isolated as Antarctica, the Sahel, or even Utah. Each claiming the selected location is the “front-runner” (There can only be one frontrunner).

Climate Ambulance Chasing Across the Globe

By Jimbo

For years Warmists have confidently told us about the canary in the mine of global warming and the ground zero of global warming. The problem is trying to figure our which one is right. Where exactly is the ‘ground zero’ of ‘global warming’ and/or ‘climate change’? It seems to be all over the place!
