Climate Change Hysteria

Hurricane Idalia made landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast Big Bend region this morning. Over the next 24 hours, the storm is expected to impact Savannah and Charleston before it moves into the Atlantic Ocean. Please join Carol and me in praying for all those in Idalia’s path and for the safety of first responders. 

Whether it’s earthquakes in California or tornadoes in Kansas or hurricanes in Florida, natural disasters of all kinds happen fairly regularly.  They are a tragic fact of life. But we shouldn’t compound the problem with hysterical overreactions.

Sadly, virtually every media outlet, including Fox News, is promoting the “climate emergency” agenda by presenting Hurricane Idalia and every other weather event as “extreme weather” and evidence of “climate change.” 

Just a few days ago, progressives were running around with their hair on fire claiming that climate change was responsible for the fires on Maui. It wasn’t.

But every time so-called “journalists” do that, they are stoking the number one vehicle the left is using to control every aspect of our lives – what we eat, what we drive, where we live, what kind of appliances we can have, etc., etc.

While we can laugh at it, they have been pushing it in our classrooms for decades now and the research is clear: Young Americans are scared to death of the weather. Many college campuses now offer therapy sessions for students struggling with “climate anxiety.” 

Then Republican Beltway consultants insist that GOP candidates must find ways to appeal to the youth vote.  But if they don’t come up with ways to combat the indoctrination in our schools, they will continue to lose the youth vote. 

Here’s a useful fact: More than 1,600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, recently signed onto a public declaration rejecting the idea of a “climate emergency.” 

But when some members of the “Stupid Party” say they don’t want to fight culture wars over what’s taught in our schools, they are delivering their own political eulogies. 

The culture wars matter!
