Obama administration scientist slams claims of climate ‘emergency’: Heat waves are ‘no more common than they were in 1900’
Climate alarmists are wrong to call perceived drops in temperature and other climate changes an “emergency,” a scientist who worked for the Obama administration argued.
Of course they are wrong.
“Both research literature and government reports state clearly that heat waves in the US are now no more common than they were in 1900, and that the warmest temperatures in the US have not risen in the past fifty years,” Steven Koonin, the undersecretary for science at the Department of Energy in the Obama administration, wrote in an op-ed on Saturday.
So we should look at the actual FACTs.
“Humans have had no detectable impact on hurricanes over the past century,” he wrote, adding that “Greenland’s ice sheet isn’t shrinking any more rapidly today than it was 80 years ago.”
“The global area burned by wildfires has declined more than 25 percent since 2003 and 2020 was one of the lowest years on record,” he said.
But that is not what the media is saying.
“There are abundant opportunities to get things wrong — both accidentally and on purpose — as the information goes through filter after filter to be packaged for various audiences,” Koonin said, describing how “the public gets their climate information almost exclusively from the media.”
“As a result, most people don’t get the whole story,” he added.
Of course! If if does not fit the narrative, it is removed.
Koonin explained that the public narrative about the climate has shifted away from any actual scientific data and is, instead, being driven by alarmist phrases, such as “climate emergency,” “climate crisis,” and “climate disaster.”
The scientist said that President Joe Biden has added to this alarmist language by appointing climate envoy John Kerry and announcing that the administration will spend almost $2 trillion to combat the “existential threat to humanity.”
Scare and frighten the masses to do what THEY want to do.
Misinformation and intimidation to push an agenda.
And this coming from a former DEM administration official!
So you can’t blame anyone not on the left as it is coming from the left.
