Sorry, Al Jazeera—Climate Change Isn’t Behind Indonesia’s Flooding
Sorry, Al Jazeera—Climate Change Isn’t Behind Indonesia’s Flooding Poor infrastructure, deforestation, and land mismanagement are the real drivers of Indonesia’s deadly floods. By Linnea Lueken Al Jazeera blames climate change for recent deadly flooding in Indonesia, in a post titled “Indonesia counts human cost as more climate change warnings sounded.” [emphasis, links added] There […]
BEAR-MAGEDDON: 7 Outlets Scaremonger Polar Bears ‘Rewriting’ DNA to Fight Climate Change – Morano: ‘When current reality fails to alarm…they make scarier & scarier (unfounded) predictions of the future’
Excerpt: Climate Depot founder Marc Morano blasted the media outlets perpetuating this nonsense in comments to MRC Business. “Scientists and scientific data have known for decades that ‘climate change’ was not threatening polar bears in the Arctic. The number of polar bears in the Arctic has increased dramatically in recent decades, particularly since a hunting ban was imposed.” Specifically, said Morano, “The polar bear population exploded from an estimated 5,000 in the 1960s to 30,000 or more today.” …
But this is a load of bunk, as Morano joked to MRC. “It is safe to say that polar bears are disappearing, but only from Al Gore’s books and movies!” He joked that “In Gore’s 2006 film, he made the polar bear a poster child for global warming, but fast forward to his 2017 film and book sequel, and Gore did not even mention them.” Scientists have testified before Congress that “polar bears have survived several historic episodes of much warmer temperatures over the last 10,000 years, and they have adapted,” Morano noted. In essence, polar bear adaptation to a changing climate isn’t even a new thing.
Morano argued that what the new study does, if anything, is reveal “some insight into one of the many ways these bears have adapted.” …
But the seemingly nuttier bits of climate change tomfoolery continuously oozing out of the media eco-sphere shouldn’t be expected to fade away, Morano said. “When current reality fails to alarm, the climate activists will continue to make scarier and scarier (unfounded) predictions of the future.”
