Wrong, Euronews: Climate Change Has Not Created a Food, Energy, and Economic “Meta-Crisis”

Euronews claims climate change has evolved into a “meta-crisis” threatening food security, energy supplies, economies, water resources, and international security. This is misleading because the article largely substitutes predictions and assertions for measurements of what is actually happening. The data show global crop production and yields reaching record levels, deaths from extreme weather collapsing over the long term, and many of today’s energy and economic problems arising from political choices and geopolitical conflicts rather than changes in climate.

Euronews builds its case primarily around an interview with Emmanuella Doussis, UNESCO Chair on Climate Diplomacy at the University of Athens. Doussis declares climate change an economic, social, political, and geopolitical problem, linking it to competition for resources, migration, water shortages, food insecurity, and the energy transition.

Those are sweeping claims. Curiously, Euronews provides remarkably little observational evidence demonstrating that climate change is actually causing the worldwide “meta-crisis” its headline announces.

Perhaps the most obvious contradiction concerns food.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Keep in mind that Europe has been involved in a full-on assault of farming, animal husbandry (what we call "ranching"), conventional and reliable means of generating electricity, even fertilizer.
If food and energy are short, it just might be a question of policy, not the ability fo the various sectors to provide their product if left unmolested by government.

Government creates the problem.
Government claims it's because of something else.
Government proposes more Government to correct the problem.

Lather, rinse, repeat...and if there even IS a problem now, it only gets worse or government creates it.

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.
