"The danger of cold weather is seldom acknowledged by an MSM that has sold its soul to the apocalyptic narrative."



[From Bjorn Lomborg's post 'The Heresy of Heat and Cold Deaths']

"The mainstream media (MSM) wants the world to believe that climate change has turned us into rotisserie chickens. However, real-world temperatures are not warming to dangerous levels, nor are they going to.
    "Australia’s ABC news, for example, tells its readers that the 'influence of climate change ensures nearly every season is now warmer than normal.' Yet, in 2022 Australia experienced the coldest spring in 30 years! Major cities like Melbourne, Adelaide, and Canberra recorded their coldest maximum temperatures.
    "This mismatch between reality and the MSM narrative has been widening in recent years....
    "Northern Hemisphere snow accumulations and Greenland ice mass are at historic highs. Satellite temperature readings of the Arctic show no major warming since 2014. Data illustrate a dynamic climate system with the likelihood of all types of weather, not a planet uniformly and disastrously overheating....
    "The danger of cold weather is seldom acknowledged by an MSM that has sold its soul to the apocalyptic narrative. For the common people in the Northern Hemisphere, cold events pose more of a risk because the entire policy framework emphasises addressing a supposedly warming world than being prepared for frigid spells....
    "The challenges of winter weather would have been much more manageable if European leaders had not shifted their economies away from coal, oil and natural gas in favor of expensive and unreliable green technologies. Of course, the damage of this folly has been compounded by the disruption of energy markets by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
    "Human progress in the last two centuries has been phenomenal, and one of the greatest achievements has been the development of electricity and fossil fuels to fend off the cold of harsh winters. We are now undoing this feat and putting millions at risk of freezing in the name of a faux climate emergency. Society’s most vulnerable will suffer most as political elites remain comfortable in plush abodes."
