Climate change is a cult religion with an unquestionable dogma, prophets of doom, Al Gore and Greta and a Climate Change Inquisition to root out “deniers” i.e. heretics. There is no semblance of actual science, only the hysteria of impending doom. This cult has become the vehicle for the Great Reset
Wow. Good article. Doubt the press will ever mention this!
International study finds data lacking on there being a ‘climate emergency’
A critical assessment of extreme events trends in times of global warming
The European Physical Journal Plus volume 137, Article number: 112 (2022)

The average surface temperature of our planet has increased by about one degree centigrade from the pre-industrial era.....
They looked at trends in hurricanes, floods, droughts and found no absolute increase in events.
There is a lack of a positive trend of extreme events. In conclusion, the climate crisis that, according to many sources, we are experiencing today, is not evident yet. It would be nevertheless extremely important to define mitigation and adaptation strategies that take into account current trends.
They did find a significant increase in natural disasters reported with one or more of the following characteristics:
100 or more people affected by the event
10 or more people died as a result of the event
Declaration of state of emergency

Since its origins, the human species has been confronted with the negative effects of the climate; historical climatology has repeatedly used the concept of climate deterioration in order to explain negative effect of extreme events (mainly drought, diluvial phases and cold periods) on civilization. Today, we are facing a warm phase and, for the first time, we have monitoring capabilities that enable us to objectively evaluate its effects.
Fearing a climate emergency without this being supported by data, means altering the framework of priorities with negative effects that could prove deleterious to our ability to face the challenges of the future, squandering natural and human resources in an economically difficult context, even more negative following the COVID emergency. This does not mean we should do nothing about climate change: we should work to minimize our impact on the planet and to minimize air and water pollution. Whether or not we manage to drastically curtail our carbon dioxide emissions in the coming decades, we need to reduce our vulnerability to extreme weather and climate events.
......We need to remind ourselves that addressing climate change is not an end in itself, and that climate change is not the only problem that the world is facing. The objective should be to improve human well-being in the twenty-first century, while protecting the environment as much as we can and it would be a nonsense not to do so: it would be like not taking care of the house where we were born and raised.
