Time Is Super Excited To Explain How You Driving A Fossil Fueled Vehicle Has Changed July 4th

Things were vastly different in 1776, and, no one should be shocked that the cult is trotting this out, right? It’s not news, it’s doomsday cult fearmongering

How Has The Climate Changed Since America’s First 4th of July?

The Founding Fathers who gathered in Philadelphia to adopt the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 picked a nice day to do their work. It was a Thursday, and the temperature at 6:00 a.m. was 68°F, going up to a warmish but still pleasant 76°F at 1:00 p.m., according to daily records kept by Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson.

The planetary metabolism at the time was set more for such balmy days than it was for the increasingly suffocating summers we experience in the 21st century. It was in 1867 that scientists would first define the epoch that includes the late 1700s as the Holocene—a period that began 11,700 years ago and is still ongoing. The Holocene was originally temperate, with atmospheric carbon levels measuring about 280 parts per million (ppm)—enough to keep the Earth warm but not stifling. About a billion acres of North America—or 46% of the continent—were covered in carbon-absorbing trees, further helping to regulate the climate. If anything, the planet was calibrated for cold. The first Independence Day occurred during the period known as the Little Ice Age, which ran from 1300 to 1850 and saw temperatures in North America falling 1°C to 2°C (1.8° F to 3.6°F) below thousand-year averages.

Hmm, so, Time mentions that it was a Holocene cool period, and what comes after cool periods? Warm periods. This has happened all throughout Earth’s history, including the last 8,000 year

“It was quite a bit colder [than average] in the 17th century,” says Kyle Harper, professor of classics and letters at the University of Oklahoma and a faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute. “The 18th century is a little less extreme, but it’s still part of the Little Ice Age. The 19th century starts to get even colder for a little bit. And then, of course, it turns around.”

That turnaround—a wholesale reshaping of our world’s climate—has been attributable in large measure to humans, and it’s what makes today’s Independence Day so different from the one 249 years ago.

Of course it was, in cult world. I guess we could go down the road of “what caused previous Holocene warm periods”, but, you already know this, and the cult will never listen to reason. Or give up their own use of fossil fuels.

Nearly 250 years ago, a small group of men on a little patch of that planet raised the flag of a new country. Today, that country—and the 194 others around the globe—face an existential peril the American colonists could not have foreseen.
