That Activists Keep Talking About?<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item\">\n<p>Climate change hysteria has been an ongoing point of social contention since at least the 1980s.\u00a0 For the past 40 years, western countries have been relentlessly bombarded with global warming propaganda and predictions of an environmental cataclysm.\u00a0 Many people spent their formative childhoods and school years being indoctrinated with tales of oblivion &#8211; A world in which the oceans rise hundreds of feet and land masses are swallowed by the waves.\u00a0 A world in which exponentially rising temperatures create havoc with the weather as millions die from hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and drought. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As many of us now know, all of these claims ended up being false.\u00a0 The glaciers and polar ice caps never melted.\u00a0 The land is not covered by the seas.\u00a0 The only famine today is a result of economic disaster, not climate disaster.\u00a0 And, most endangered species have not disappeared from the planet.\u00a0 But, climate scientists chasing billions of dollars in funding from governments and globalist think tanks still say the weather Apocalypse is coming; they were wrong for 40 years, but we should trust them now.\u00a0 The &#8220;debate is over&#8221; they say, and we must defer to the &#8220;experts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But where is the evidence of this climate crisis that these well funded scientists and activists keep talking about?\u00a0 Where are the weather effects?\u00a0 One can see the very tangible results of our ongoing economic crisis; inflation and high prices, floundering consumers relying on credit cards, mass layoffs in the tech industry spreading to other sectors, etc.\u00a0 People are experiencing the downturn and they can witness the consequences for themselves.\u00a0 If the climate cult wants people to take them seriously, they will have to show some kind of visible proof that global warming is real and a legitimate threat. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The problem is, they have no proof, and so they are forced to dishonestly connect every single bad weather event to &#8220;climate change&#8221; as a means to frighten the public.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s look at the real weather data and see if supposedly dangerous man-made carbon emissions are somehow contributing to weather calamity. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The US is often cited as a primary carbon polluter (even though nations like China produce 30% of global carbon emissions while the US produces only 14%).\u00a0 Let&#8217;s look at a track record of US weather data and see if we can find signs of impending disaster.\u00a0 If the problem is global, then it should certainly be visible in US weather as much as any other country. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How about hurricanes?\u00a0 Every time a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast the mainstream media rants about climate change as the cause.\u00a0 But has there been a significant increase in hurricanes in the US?\u00a0 No, there has not according to long term data.\u00a0 Storms are forming at a rate consistent with <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/climate-indicators\/climate-change-indicators-tropical-cyclone-activity\" rel=\"noopener\">the historic record<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" data-image-external-href=\"\" data-image-href=\"\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/cyclones_figure1_2021_1.png?itok=EXCUgdaz\" data-link-option=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/cyclones_figure1_2021_1.png?itok=EXCUgdaz\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What about major flooding events?\u00a0 Has there been more downpours and raging rivers?\u00a0 No, there has not.\u00a0 Flooding events are not happening at a greater frequency or severity today than they have in past decades.\u00a0 Even climate scientists are forced to admit that US and global flood damage has been in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/sciencepolicy.colorado.edu\/admin\/publication_files\/2013.38.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">decline for decades<\/a>.\u00a0 Data of damage as a proportion of GDP shows this.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" data-image-external-href=\"\" data-image-href=\"\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/usfloods-gdp.jpg?itok=S0gpVDq8\" data-link-option=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/usfloods-gdp.jpg?itok=S0gpVDq8\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"57a727fc-1714-4b44-ad93-f1b96e534f75\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" height=\"401\" width=\"500\" class=\"inline-images image-style-inline-images\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/usfloods-gdp.jpg?itok=S0gpVDq8\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Does this mean we are facing increasing drought conditions?\u00a0 Surely, global warming is causing significant damage through loss of rainfall?\u00a0 Nope, that&#8217;s not happening either.\u00a0 The worst droughts in recent US history occurred in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/climate-indicators\/climate-change-indicators-drought\" rel=\"noopener\">1930s and 1950s<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" data-image-external-href=\"\" data-image-href=\"\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/droughtrecord2.png?itok=fvdqGwSf\" data-link-option=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/droughtrecord2.png?itok=fvdqGwSf\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"4137e771-0f49-440d-b999-b2f67302f0e0\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" height=\"318\" width=\"500\" class=\"inline-images image-style-inline-images\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/droughtrecord2.png?itok=fvdqGwSf\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maybe we can see a noticeable shift in tornadoes and sever weather inland?\u00a0 Are there more deadly tornadoes today than decades ago?\u00a0 No, there are not.\u00a0 In fact, dangerous tornadoes have been declining. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" data-image-external-href=\"\" data-image-href=\"\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/tornadoes-1954-2018.jpg?itok=YnpRb_dZ\" data-link-option=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/tornadoes-1954-2018.jpg?itok=YnpRb_dZ\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-entity-type=\"file\" data-entity-uuid=\"bf6f0f43-f601-45d3-810e-5d3d48d759bb\" data-responsive-image-style=\"inline_images\" height=\"348\" width=\"500\" class=\"inline-images image-style-inline-images\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/styles\/inline_image_mobile\/public\/inline-images\/tornadoes-1954-2018.jpg?itok=YnpRb_dZ\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Climate change hysteria often relies on the theory of temperature &#8220;tipping points&#8221;
