For nearly 40 years, the global warming cabal has spread fear and wasted resources on an emergency that doesn’t exist. While their influence has begun to wane, as their credibility has crashed and their lies have been exposed, the fabrications, exaggerations, and junk science continue. [some emphasis, links added]
How much longer will we have to endure their campaign of rancid propaganda?
The dawning moment of the global warming movement was NASA scientist James Hansen’s June 1988 testimony before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
“In my opinion,” he told lawmakers, “the greenhouse effect has been detected, and it is changing our climate now.”
There was evidence, he insisted, “that the Earth is warming by an amount which is too large to be a chance fluctuation and the similarity of the warming to that expected from the greenhouse effect represents a very strong case.”
And yet 38 years later, there’s been no climate catastrophe.
Reality hasn’t slowed the flood of lies, though. Let’s take a look at a few.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee reflexively blamed his state’s wildfires on climate change. Soon thereafter, a man was arrested in connection with one of the three fires burning through Spokane County and has been questioned in arson investigations into other fires.
And as our friends at Power Line have noted, wildfire damage, [when measured by] acres burned, peaked nearly a century ago and is down more than 80%.
NPR wants Americans to believe “climate change is now threatening a pillar of childhood: summer break,” which has become “increasingly dangerous through heat, wildfire smoke, floods, and storms.”
Retired meteorologist Anthony Watts says “the premise is false, ridiculous even,” with NPR relying “almost entirely on anecdotes rather than evidence.”
“What has changed is not that summer suddenly became dangerous. What has changed is the media’s insistence on framing ordinary weather challenges as catastrophic symptoms of dangerous climate change.”
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who is responsible for the migrant invasion from Morocco, swears that “climate change kills.” And not just people, but also “our ecosystem, our biodiversity” as well as “the things we as a society hold dear – our houses, our businesses, our livestock.”
And where is the evidence? He offered none because there isn’t any. Why do voters in Western nations keep putting loons in office?
