No, Bloomberg, Climate is Not “Killing Buildings”

An October 21 article in Bloomberg claims that Climate Change is Killing Buildings in Slow Motion. This is demonstrably false, as buildings have been affected by weather for millennia, not just during the present. This is a classic case of conflation of weather and climate, used to push the idea that a “climate crisis” is a clear and present danger, when, in fact, there is no such thing as a climate crisis occurring, except in the imaginations climate alarmists and the mainstream media that seemingly blindly accepts and publicizes their every pronouncement.
First, it should be noted that science says climate and weather are not the same things. Weather is what we (and buildings) experience on a day-to-day basis. Climate is a mathematical average of weather parameters such as temperature and rainfall over a 30-year period. Climate does not act as a tangible atmospheric phenomenon that can deteriorate buildings – weather does.
Weather has been deteriorating buildings since mankind has been building them. Only recently has the focus switched from blaming weather for deteriorating infrastructure and falsely blaming climate instead.
