The Hidden Agenda of the Climate Alarmists…

The subject of climate change has been taken over by a group of pseudo-scientists using badly flawed models, selected data, and hyperbolic claims amplified by a largely ignorant media and opportunistic politicians looking to increase their own power

There’s a lot of hysteria right now about record heatwaves, flooding, and other climate-related disasters that are supposedly proof that the climate is spiraling out of control and that immediate, drastic action is required to stop it.

Climate alarmists are trying to exploit these events to ram through their radical climate initiatives. Today, we’ll see why the current hysteria is unwarranted.

Climate change is measurable and real. Climate alarm is hysterical and cult-like. Unfortunately, the two exist side-by-side in the public square and are easily confused by non-experts (and many experts as well).

The confusion is not accidental. Climate alarmists wrap themselves in the blanket of climate change to distort science and discredit non-members of the climate alarm cult.

If you point out uncertainties or inconsistencies in the climate alarmist playbook, they label you a “climate denier” and put you in the same category as paranoids, lunatics and malefactors who deny well-established truths.

Of course, the climate alarmists are the ones in denial about the truth. They always call you what they’re guilty of themselves.

I’ve written a lot about climate change from a scientific perspective. There is some evidence that average global temperatures are warming slightly, although some areas are getting colder.

The warming (on average) is not due to higher high temperatures but to higher low temperatures. That means that while the average is going up, the planet is not getting hotter.
