On his Fox News Channel program “Unfiltered” on Saturday, December 18, Democratic Strategist Nomiki Konst peddles the typical alarmist line that humans are causing climate change, which is making tornadoes and hurricanes more powerful and dangerous.
To his credit, Bongino likes to have liberals and leftists on his program to debate hot topics. Unfortunately, Konst is neither a scientist nor familiar with the data on extreme weather.
Bongino is familiar with the data and cited both The Heartland Institute’s work and statements by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change showing that climate change is not making tornadoes more frequent or powerful in the United States.
For the layman, he even put up a tweet from The Weather Channel showing that the US recently set a record for the longest period without an EF5 tornado being detected.
Stick around to the end of this short video in which Konst starts going apoplectic because she is unwilling to believe actual data. It seems she prefers to trust her feelings.

OK. Let’s clear things up. AL Gore used his fake books, fake documentary, and fake speeches to drum up business for the real money making schemes…

Scammers rarely ever charge for their sales pitch.
Al Gore has not made single cent from his climate books, movies or speeches – he donates every dime and has for 20 years. All in the public domain- an educated person would know that.
More mindless repetition……
Unfortunately Nomiki Konst will have learnt nothing from her interview with Dan and this is the constant problem. Mostly, Nomiki and others like her have no idea why they believe in climate change and human causation, so when confronted with facts to the contrary, they go off into a tail-spin objecting by sprouting unrelated waffle.
Gore made few thousands over his Snake Oil he sold to the usial suckers while reciting his stupid little poem to them and Greenpeace opposes Fossil Fuels while sailing all over the world using Fossil Fuels

Good for him. The “inconvenient truth” is most of his “speel” regarding climate is misinformed & misleading. Not really HELPFUL if you want to have an intelligent, fully informed & sensible debate (as needed) on climate & attendant energy transition policy…
Reality is, in the energy transition you only have to answer ONE fundamental question: “What CLEAN, SUSTAINABLE, SCALABLE, cost effective alternative do YOU propose to REPLACE 80% of our domestic primary energy? You do realize that renewables currently account for 3-4% of our primary energy, right? Don’t believe me, all you have to do is go out to the EIA website and you can verify those numbers. Slogans like “100% renewables by X Date” have no more validity than the government mandating we will “openly defy gravity by X date.” The energy transition to (eventually) replace fossil fuels will take DECADES, whether all the environmental “fanatics” like it or not. Lets pace ourselves. INSTEAD of vilifying energy produicers, let’s start an adult conversation about what the REAL challenges are in this arena. Welcome aboard Al & Company…no EASY BUTTON in this arena…
P.T. Barnum said THERE’S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE your is what he was talking about
Really?!

It’s 46 degrees today in Louisiana, and I’m freezing. When will the global warming kick in to stop this cold weather in the south?
Typical dim-witted liberal. They fall apart when confronted with the facts in a climate debate. Good for Dan. He shredded her and reduced her to screeching.
Yeh, she lost it as soon as she was confronted by the facts. And she put “world leaders” in with so called experts as people who know all the facts. The phrase
“world leaders” should be redefined as “parrots.” (My apologies to all the pretty parrots out there.)
