Media Lying About Climate And Hurricanes
It's time to state the obvious.

Michael Shellenberger
2 hr ago

Over the last several weeks, many mainstream news media outlets have claimed that hurricanes are becoming more expensive, more frequent, and more intense because of climate change.

The Financial Times reported that “hurricane frequency is on the rise.”

The New York Times claimed, “strong storms are becoming more common in the Atlantic Ocean.”

The Washington Post said, “climate change is rapidly fueling super hurricanes.”

ABC News declared, “Here’s how climate change intensifies hurricanes.”

Both the FT and N.Y. Times showed graphs purporting to show rising hurricane frequency using data from the U.S. government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

All of those claims are false.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Anytime there is a catastrophic weather event, the TV town criers wail how Global Climate Change is to blame without presenting any evidence.  They only offer conjecture and anecdotes.

Was Noah's Flood caused by Global Climate Change?

The Climate changes.  The issue is how much man's activities effect it.  It is hubris to believe that humanity can regulate the Earth's climate like a thermostat or a light switch.

There are forces beyond man's control and understanding at work.

Maybe humanity has created a Global Climate Change deity instead of humbling themselves to accept there are greater forces at work.

The goal should be reduction of man-made pollution and climate resilience ... not undoing the progress of Western Civilization since 1492.
