Not a single horror that has been predicted for the 21st century because of a changing climate has come to pass.

2020 had 30 named storms of which 14 became hurricanes and 7 became major hurricanes. This is the most since 2005. Looking back to 1920, there were 5 named storms & 4 hurricanes. I guess it would depend on your definition of "horror"?


1920? You had to go back 100 years?

Did it ever occur to you that we are much ore capable today of identifying/tracking storms than in 1920?

Today, there is constant alarmism. The media trumpets about melting glaciers and how the rising sea levels will wipe out whole countries, ignoring the fact that 30% of the Netherlands was once under water. Is it only in the Netherlands that water management can maintain human habitation? I think not. Polar bears are seen to be of special concern, with fears that melting ice will cause them to go extinct, yet according to the World Wildlife Fund, they still exist in their original habitat, range, and natural numbers. Such being the case, I take leave to doubt that c*****e c****e is wiping out polar bears.

It's normal for the climate to change. Millions of years before the dinosaurs the earth was a solid ball of ice. During the time of the dinosaurs there was no ice at all. The planet continued to cool off and warm up, all without human intervention, and when humans did come along, they adapted to changes in the climate. Up until the 20th century, nobody thought that a change in the weather warranted prophesying the end of the world.

Polar Bears Are Thriving: Go and See Them for Yourself!
The first part of the title is true. The second part is tongue-in-cheek as very few people can get to the Arctic, never mind counting all the polar bears there. That is why eco-alarmists nearly always pick subjects that are either invisible, like CO2, or so remote, like polar bears and coral reefs, that the average citizen could never check their story out to see if it was actually true.
It was in the early 1970s, while I was helping to found Greenpeace in Vancouver, Canada, that it became clear to wildlife biologists that polar bears were severely over-hunted in the Arctic. It had become easy to get there by aircraft, find an Inuit guide, and go home with a big rug to put in front of the fireplace. As a result of this knowledge, all the polar countries, including the U.S. and Canada, came together in 1973 and signed a treaty to end the unrestricted hunting of polar bears. At that time their numbers were estimated to be 6-10,000 animals. Today they are estimated to number between 26-58,000 with a median estimate of 39,000. The polar bear's recovery is one of the most successful conservation efforts during the past century, yet the negative bemoaning continues, usually with a fundraising component.

There have been archeological finds of thriving fruit orchards, and vineyards in Europe. They did not grow for several hundred years because it was too cold. They still don't grow well. Two thousand years ago it was hotter.
The US uses about 12 percent of the world's coal, but only causes about 5 percent of the pollution associated with it. That figure is dropping every year. The US has stopped building new coal plants. The rest of the world, which produces the other 95% of the coal caused pollution has increased building new coal plants. Even if anthropogenic g****l w*****g is true, we are only responsible for a very small part of it. Go to Beijing, China, find your boy Biden's bosses and b***h at them. They produce far more pollution than we do.

Water levels may rise for other reasons, but melting ice is not one of them. That's one of the funnier things that liberals say about g****l w*****g. Put an ice cube in a glass of water and watch it melt. The level of water in the glass does not go up when the ice cube is melted, just like the water in the oceans won't rise when polar ice melts! They must not have been paying attention to their fourth-grade science teachers! 😂


Glaciers are above water and when they melt they increase the water.

Some people still won't pay attention when their errors are corrected. I'm so used to being right, a lot, it generally takes a crowbar.

Metaphorically speaking!

Anthropogenic g****l w*****g alarmism is a s**m perpetrated by anti-capitalist, power hungry demagogues with a political agenda. They, themselves, even admitted as much.
