NOAA data shows no long-term trends in hurricane or tornado intensity over past decades.
Flood damages tie to coastal developments, not climate, as property values surge in vulnerable zones.
Financial firms like FirstStreet push “climate risk” narratives to sell data tools, critics say.
Media uncritically promotes alarmism, diverting focus from real causes of mortgage and insurance inflation.

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
