- The Media’s Rank Dishonesty About ‘Climate Change’ & Hurricane Ian
- Globull warming, Hurricane Ian edition: ‘Linking of Hurricane Ian to climate change is ridiculous’
Biden’s linking of Hurricane Ian to climate change is ridiculous for a lot of reasons. Let’s consider just a few:
Forecasters had predicted a worse-than-usual hurricane season. They were dead wrong. Storm activity was unusually low, not unusually high.
While a bad Hurricane, Ian was hardly out of the norm for hurricanes that make landfall in the US
NOAA research shows that as of yet there is little to no evidence that climate change has had any impact on storm frequency or severity
It is impossible to link any particular storm to climate change. A NOAA official even had to correct Don Lemon on precisely this point before the hurricane struck
Increases in hurricane losses over time are attributable entirely to the increased value of the real estate investments on the coast.
- Biden says Hurricane Ian ‘has ended is the discussion about whether or not there is climate change & we should do something about it’
- Shellenberger: Media Lying About Climate & Hurricanes – ‘The media are consciously & deliberately misleading the public’
The Financial Times reported that “hurricane frequency is on the rise.”
The New York Times claimed, “strong storms are becoming more common in the Atlantic Ocean.”
The Washington Post said, “climate change is rapidly fueling super hurricanes.”
ABC News declared, “Here’s how climate change intensifies hurricanes.”
Both the FT and N.Y. Times showed graphs purporting to show rising hurricane frequency using data from the U.S. government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
All of those claims are false. The increasing cost of hurricane damage can be explained entirely by more people and more property in harm’s way. ...

- Meteorologists D’Aleo & Bastardi debunk media claims about Hurricanes with data and history
Meteorologist Joe D'Aleo's charts show declining Florida hurricane trends:
D'Aleo: "The US hurricane trend like Florida is down."
Meteorologist Joe Bastardi noted: “There were SIX hurricanes that hit the Southern part of Florida, below a line from Tampa to Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic in the last 57 years. If you look at the prior 50 years, there were SIXTEEN strikes!”
- NYTimes Hurricane Analysis is Purposefully Misleading
There’s no statistical or physical reason to produce a chart or data analysis of only Atlantic hurricanes starting in 1970 or 1980. We have data records going back to the 19th century, with reasonable reliability back to 1945, especially with landfalls.
NOAA: "There is no strong evidence of century scale increasing trends in: U.S. landfalling hurricanes, frequency of hurricanes or major hurricanes, or the proportion of hurricanes that reach major hurricane intensity."

Angry Polish miners hold mock Greta Thunberg funeral to protest EU climate policies – Chants of ‘thieves!’ at the EU building

Wash, blow dry & talk to me about global warming please: Hairdressers trained to talk about ‘climate action’ to customers
Guardian: A salon in Sydney is spearheading workshops for hairdressers on how to steer small talk about the weather into conversations about global heating. ... More than 400 hairdressers have attended workshops as part of a project called A Brush With Climate...During the sessions, hairdressers hear the basics of climate science and get to role play how conversations might go. They also take one of the posters back to their own salons. ... Dr. Hannah McCann, a senior lecturer in cultural studies at the University of Melbourne, is researching the social and emotional role that hairdressers have with their clients. She says the hours at a time spent together, and the fact there’s plenty of touching, makes the relationship different from almost any other. ...
Garcia tells a story about one regular client, a mother of two. After having the climate chat and talking about solar power and ethical banking, she left happy. “She came back eight weeks later and she’s made all these changes. She was really proud."

WaPo: Why climate ‘doomers’ are replacing climate ‘deniers’ – ‘How UN reports & confusing headlines created a generation of people who believe climate change can’t be stopped’
Wash Post: There are different flavors of doomers. Some are middle-aged and have been influenced by outspoken scientists — like retired ecologist Guy McPherson — who claim that human extinction, or at least the breakdown of society, is imminent. (“I can’t imagine that there will be a human left on the Earth in 10 years,” McPherson has said.) These doomers drift toward conspiracy theories, sometimes claiming that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is downplaying the seriousness of the issue. ...
Another climate activist: "The most difficult think I face being a 'climate doomer', is recognizing the shear pointlessness of everything that isn't focused on mitigation or limitation. Earning money to pay bills seems utterly ludicrous, I should be growing veg and collecting rainwater."
