Battening down the BS
To eco-politicians and activist scientists it matters not whether the weather is indicative of anthropogenic climate change, it is delivered as if their 35-year-old theory lives, breathes, and is marching on towards existential disaster. Each time, each allegation is disproven, the green collective continues to push the fabrications trusting their congregants and devotees will not stray towards the path of truth.
From two different articles, I bring forth varying declarations made by advocate climate change fearmongers and the evidence to disprove their claim. The first claim alleges that the world is witnessing more hurricanes, with greater intensities and a greater number of them are making landfall. It should be noted that hurricanes and cyclones are the exact same weather phenomenon, however, hurricanes originate and travel over the Atlantic Ocean while cyclones are associated with the Pacific Ocean. A typhoon is also the same weather occurrence but is used as frequent nomenclature for cyclones or hurricanes in the northwest Pacific.
The first article was written and produced by Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. a political scientist and professor at the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado Boulder and Dr. Ryan Maue research meteorologist at the Cato Institute in Washington, DC. I link the entire article here but reproduce some of the graphs captured from relevant data by the two authors.

Global Accumulated Intensities of Hurricanes from 1980 through 2022
The second article, in PDF format, was written by Steven Milloy, founder, and publisher of JunkScience.com. One can tell Milloy’s ability to agitate the left when the ultra-progressive Wikipedia alleges, “Milloy's career has been spent disputing the science government agencies rely on for protecting the public. His close financial and organizational ties to tobacco and oil companies have been the subject of criticism, as Milloy has consistently disputed the scientific consensus on climate change. I especially like the illusory virtue signaling of the government, “protecting the public”.
Milloy tackles 7 myths published by legacy media kingpins like the Washington Post and the New York Times just during the initial start of 2023. I suppose a favorite would be that The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and American Meteorological Association (AMS) issued a report blaming 2022’s extreme weather on “climate change, yet the NOAA’s own statistical evidence shows that not a single record was set in 2022 for high or low temperature, rainfall, snowfall, hail or any other weather event? Irrespective the ‘chicken little’ media disseminated the news as if the world was destined for disaster.
Another would have been the Washington Post newspaper blaming a deficiency of sea ice due to climate change on a polar bear attacking and tragically killing a mother and her 1-year-old baby. On that specific day, January 16, 2023, in the northwestern Alaskan Village of Wales where this heartbreaking event occurred there was absolutely no shortage of sea ice. The Washington Post had not even confirmed the conditions prior to the placement of the story and before blaming the event as a consequence of climate change.
There will be no retractions, edits or apologies.
