By Samuel Strait, Reporter at Large – September 3, 2021 – Picture credit to NOAA/EPA After listening to our "empty suit", governor, Gavin Newsom, parrot "wildfires in California are the result of Climate Change", it will no doubt come as NO surprise when Hurricane Ida completes her tour of the Southeast and on up into New Jersey and New York that climate alarmists will be trumpeting Climate Change is the cause. A recent revelation that the group known as "Climate Attribution" has come to the realization that by hyping climate change connected to natural disaster is a way to shift public opinion on climate changes to purported crisis level. Unfortunately the group's hype is largely political rather than based on scientific fact. That still will no doubt not prevent allies in major media from a literal flood of articles and 30 second sound bites from local television stations moaning about the imminent collapse of civilization due to Climate Change. While many might just be savvy enough to understand the distinction between weather and climate, the folks at Climate Attribution are counting on the fact that many do not. The hope is to piggy back on stories of Natural Weather related Disasters to reclaim the world's attention on Climate Change and the removal of carbon based fuels from society. The feeling that the needle for more attention on "fixing the Climate" has faded over the course of the last nineteen months with the Pandemic, has stirred anguish in the Climate Change Extremist community and resulted in their need for more dramatic exposure. Unfortunately science has worked against them and it has become clear to some in the scientific community that spouting weather related disasters such as isolated heating in small areas of the country, or wildfires, hurricanes and flooding are climate induced disasters doesn't fare well under scientific scrutiny. The appearance of media driven coverage of millions of dollars of damage that will likely emerge after Ida has completed her waltz through the Country, unquestionably will be connected in some way to Climate Change not an isolated instance of weather. As much as Climate Alarmists wish to make the connection, it cannot be said that weather equates to climate. One only has to highlight arguments used by opponents of catastrophic global warming when they point to periods of cold weather in portions of the United States as an example of weather not climate, something that alarmists are quick to point out. Yet that same argument is ignored when fires in California due to hot weather, or hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico appear when California's Governor opens his mouth to proclaim Climate Change. While there remains a significant enough portion of the Country and the World for that matter that has been convinced that the Planet is doomed. More level headed members of the scientific community are not in that camp. Most firmly believe that human innovation will rise to the top and turn what is being broadcast as a disaster of epic proportions into a chance for a much brighter future. They tend to be more concerned with the propaganda spouted by groups such as Climate Attribution and others that continue with "the world will end, if something is not done immediately". After all, when the world does not end by 2050, where will climate alarmist go to hide?
