Editor’s Note: Matthew Wielicki, Ph.D., refers to himself as an earth science professor-in-exile. He formerly served as an assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama and a post-doctoral research scientist in the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences and the Institute for Planets and Exoplanets at the University of California, Los Angeles. Since leaving academia, among other projects Wielicki has operated one of the most powerful and informative pages/channels in the substack and online universe, “Irrational Fear,” discussing climate change, the false climate crisis, and, like Climate Realism, exposing false claims being made in the media about climate change. Climate Realism encourages our readers to explore Irrational Fear and subscribe if you are so moved after reviewing the excerpts of Wielicki’s posts.
In the post below, which Wielicki kindly allowed Climate Realism to share in full, Wielicki marshals solid evidence debunking recent news reports claiming that climate change is causing a ‘housing panic.’
The Climate Housing Panic
How Climate Fear Is Manipulating the Housing Market
For decades, we’ve been bombarded with claims that climate change is destroying the housing market, with apocalyptic predictions of collapsing property values in high-risk areas like Florida and California. The media, with the help of the climate industrial complex, insists that sea-level rise, wildfires, and extreme weather are rendering homes uninsurable and undesirable. But when we peel back the layers of fear-mongering, what do we find? A thriving housing market, rising prices, and no data to support the narrative of catastrophe.
This article dives deep into the myths, the numbers, and the motives driving the climate housing panic. Spoiler alert: It’s not climate change you need to worry about, it’s the manipulation of truth for power and profit. First, we’ll examine Florida and California, two states frequently cited as examples of climate-induced real estate crises. Then, we’ll break down the real factors driving insurance price increases, most of which have little to do with climate change. Finally, we’ll explore whether weather-related damages are truly escalating or if this is just another manufactured panic.
