Government policy should be founded in fact rather than fiction

Hoping the Democrats will be honest for once is a pipe dream.

For decades, the public has been warned about the existential threat of global warming and climate change based on computer models. An outlet out last year even reported on an admission from scientists that models weren’t accurate because they didn’t accurately model clouds — the article was aptly titled “Scientists Conclude Dire Climate Change Models Were Wrong, Now What?”

The public has been told that Earth has warmed one to two degrees in the last 150 years. Yet, this article asserts the “experts” overestimated the temperature of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica by 2.7 degrees. Why should we believe their other estimates are more accurate?

Here are some actual and very recent climate events that have occurred despite 150 years of exponential growth of coal, oil, cars, planes, gas stoves, methane, and all the other things that we are told cause an irreversible threat of rapid warming and severe storms.

You’d think news of pleasantly mild hurricane season would be widely spread, yet almost all the media buried it because it didn’t fit the agenda to scare people into capitulation.

In December there were record snows in Buffalo. In January there was record snow and rain in California. The experts predicted another dry California winter; they were way off. Why should we believe their long forecasts when they can’t accurately predict short forecasts?

China is a massive polluter, is the most populous nation on Earth, and continues to build many coal plants, yet a town just saw its coldest temperature on record: 36 degrees below normal.

Control of the means of production has always been a leftist goal. Why is this surprising?

Not surprising at all.
