Every single day, there is something alarming in the news about climate change.
Click on any headline about a natural disaster like a forest fire or a flood or a hurricane, and there will be dire warnings in the article about how this particular phenomenon is worse than ever before because of climate change.
Google the words “climate change,” and you can learn about how it is making poison ivy itchier, glaciers smaller, and the world generally less pleasant to live in.
It is even being theorized that there could be a connection between earthquakes and climate change.
What I don’t understand is why climate change is seen as a bad thing. It’s normal for the climate to change.
Millions of years before the dinosaurs, the Earth was a solid ball of ice. During the time of the dinosaurs, there was no ice at all.
The planet continued to cool off and warm up, all without human intervention, and when humans did come along, they adapted to changes in the climate.
Up until the 20th century, nobody thought that a change in the weather warranted prophesying the end of the world.
Today, there is constant alarmism. The media trumpet melting glaciers and how the rising sea levels will wipe out whole countries, ignoring the fact that 30% of the Netherlands was once underwater.
Is it only in the Netherlands that water management can maintain human habitation? I think not.
Polar bears are seen to be of special concern, with fears that melting ice will cause them to go extinct, yet according to the World Wildlife Fund, they still exist in their original habitat, range, and natural numbers. Such being the case, I take leave to doubt that climate change is wiping out polar bears.
In short, not a single horror that has been predicted for the 21st century because of a changing climate has come to pass.
The human race is adapting, as it has always adapted, to new weather conditions. The planet may warm-up, as it has done in the past, and after it warms up, it will cool off, as it has done in the past.
There’s nothing frightening about that simple fact of nature. The only thing I’ve ever found disconcerting about climate change is the number of people who accept the distressing predictions, without noticing how those predictions get pushed back several decades when they don’t come to pass.

I see where the New York Pravda(Times)is now lying about Climate Change effecting Wine Country that liberal rag tells nothing but Fake News in its pages
Love your line about the world being a less pleasant place to live. However it’s not the weather that has made it that way, the total blame rests on the Communists worldwide who are doing their worst to make life miserable for everyone. We have reached epic levels of propaganda with climate but these horrible people really want to totally control everyone and everything. COVID was, in my opinion released as the ultimate population reduction and control mechanism again by the Communists.
We moved to Australia 40 years ago to Brisbane and the past two months are the coolest i remember nothing on the news ,.And considering our dams would be empty by 2007 they have been full and we are getting steady on and off rain great for farmers . Global warming my ass
Everyone knows climate changes and the scientists that taught you that are now saying that change is happening faster now because of man’s pollution, man-made CO2 and deforestation.
What’s all the fuss? I like warm weather.
Do you also like drought, pestilence and forest fires?
No problem – as long as you can provide an accurate prediction (prophesy) of when the horsemen of the Apocalypse will be coming.
In the meantime stop spending my tax dollars on your delusions.
It’s always amusing to read stories of “climate change/global warming” about one city having hot day(s) that some believe are above the norm.
And some people are foolish enough to blame is all on SUV.s Air Conditioners and meat consumption which proves that P.T. Barnum was right there is a sucker born every minute
