“A world without dangerous weather is an imaginary ideal. Press even the most ardent climate activists, and they’ll admit as much. The actual claim of most establishment-approved climate scientists is that human activity has generated a marginal increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather and that a total elimination of emissions could eventually bring global trends back in line with the natural frequency and intensity of such events. … if we’re serious about tackling the problems caused by dangerous storms and other natural disasters, the solution lies in better adapting to bad weather, not pretending we can eliminate it. Fortunately, humans are very good at adapting to bad weather. And, while we have been for most of our history, we have become incredibly good at it in the last two hundred years thanks primarily to one thing — the economic growth that resulted from the Industrial Revolution.” (10/09/24)
