Why Climate Change Is Not A Crisis

President Joe Biden contends that the recent hurricanes that hit the United States prove we’re in a “climate crisis.”

It’s a “code red” for the world, the president warns. White House national climate adviser Gina McCarthy added that climate is now a “health emergency.”

It is, no doubt, quite convenient for politicians to treat every hurricane, tornado, and flood as an apocalyptic sign from Gaea — and then blame political apostates for the existence of nature.

But it’s an irrational way to think about the world. Because our situation is, in most ways — including our ability to adapt to the vagaries of climate — quantifiably better than before on nearly every front.

This reality is probably difficult for a generation subjected to decades of fearmongering to accept, but climate anomalies are nothing new.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Partly because we have the technological ability to adapt. If we throw that away, sacrificed on the altar of greenness, we won't have that ability, and we will not be able to adapt. That would be a crisis, but manufactured out of stupidity, not tailpipe emissions.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
