Dont trust the climate doomers spooking us with lies

“Climate change will make Earth a living hell!” claims popular astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson.I don’t believe him.The media say, “All Arctic ice will soon melt away! Polar bears are dying off! Global warming causes food shortages!”Bunk, bunk, bunk.They are addicted to scaring us with climate myths.Myth 1: It’s worsening droughts.The Environmental Defense Fund wins donations partly by claiming, “Climate change is worsening drought!” Media morons parrot the claim.It’s just not true.The EPA: “The last 50 years have generally been wetter than average.”Globally, there’s been no increase in drought.Heartland Institute Research Fellow Linnea Lueken notes, “The media ..

.completely ignore previous years where there were record-low amounts of drought.

Every individual drought that occurs in the United States, or anywhere in the world, is not evidence of catastrophic climate change.It’s weather.”Myth 2: Climate change is worsening wildfires.During California’s wildfires, silly people at NBC News ranted, “Climate change, creating infernos larger than ever!”Bunk.US Forest Service data shows fires burned much more in the 1930s.But the climate has gotten warmer! Doesn’t that dry trees out and cause wildfires?No, laughs Lueken.

“One degree of change does not dry out all of the brush ..

.The real driver of these issues is land management.”Poor land management.

California restricts clear-cutting — removing almost all trees in an area.And they don’t allow small fires to burn like they once did, naturally.So overgrowth builds up and fuels bigger fires.Also, today’s wildfires affect more people not because of climate change, but because there’s more suburban sprawl.

More people build more houses in the path of grass fires.Myth 3: Sea-level rise will soon cause catastrophic damage.In 2004, The Guardian wrote, “A secret report ..

.warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas .

..

by 2020!”By 2020 ..
