Hurricane Milton made landfall a little over a week ago, leaving behind a trail of destruction and death, though thankfully the final numbers ended up far less devastating than originally feared. Still, the latest reports put the death toll at nearly 20 human lives lost.
But that's not all that Milton destroyed. For those paying attention, those not maintaining an a priori allegiance to the assumptions and presuppositions of the neo-pagan religion of environmentalism, Milton exposed the callous arrogance of climate alarmists to such a degree that their credibility should be added to the final casualty count.
Not that the Democrat Media Complex will do their job in acknowledging this reality. They have a vested interest in prolonging the con: Hysteria means attention, attention means advertising, advertising means money, and for their favored politicians, it all adds up to power.
That's why men like CNN propagandist Bill Weir are somehow willing to reveal their pitiless cruelty to the world when interviewing hurricane victims like this:
It's why a week after the hurricane blew across Florida, Weir's colleague Ray Sanchez is writing harrowing tales of survival that begin like this:
In a harsh new world of climate disasters, Amber Henry clutched her four young children as they stood atop the oven in their home in Lakeland, Florida.
Oh, for goodness' sake. "New world" of climate disasters? In fact, the only thing "new" about a mid-October Category 3 hurricane coming ashore in Florida is that it is now, for the sake of profit and power, being attributed to "climate change." An attribution that is conjecture, and poor, unscientific conjecture at that.
Make sure you follow that. Results (as in data, numbers, statistics, and figures) do not support the claims (opinions, guesses, wishes, estimations) that increases in gas emissions from mankind has led to more frequent or more destructive hurricanes in the Atlantic.
This means that every story you read, every assessment you hear, every report you see that says otherwise, is not based in evidence. It's sensationalism with a panic-peddling, fear-mongering, agenda-driving. What it's not is science.
The worst part of all this actually isn't the dishonesty. It's what the dishonesty costs us all. This whole global warming charade has led governments to invest countless dollars into "renewable energy" money pits that have devastating effects on the nature they claim to be protecting:
I'll need someone smarter than me to explain how it makes any environmental sense to destroy rare trees (that help clear the air of that dreaded CO2 gas) and expend more carbon emissions in the construction, transportation, and installation of solar panels than those panels will ever save. And that's especially true when natural disasters continue to do this to those brilliant investments:
Imagine for a second if all the money we are dumping into these unproductive ventures that line the pockets of left-wing "green energy" companies but do nothing for the environment - imagine if it was instead being put into hurricane preparedness, or disaster relief. Imagine if we were creatively engaged in responding to nature effectively rather than futilely pretending like we can control it.
