3 Facts to Debunk Global Elites’ Climate Crisis Lies
Humanity Opens the Gates of Hell
During the Climate Ambition Summit in New York on Sept. 20, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres made a powerful statement, declaring that “Humanity has opened the gates of hell.” This event, attended by global elites, followed two days of meetings.
For decades, scientists and experts have been making catastrophic climate predictions, often relying on flawed models endorsed by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. However, these predictions have consistently been proven wrong.
The U.N. chief continued, stating that “Horrendous heat is having horrendous effects. Distraught farmers watching crops carried away by floods, sweltering temperatures spawning disease, and thousands fleeing in fear as historic fires rage.” He placed the blame on fossil fuels.
In a bizarre moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled halfway around the world to lecture Americans about reducing their carbon emissions. He claimed that “humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives” and warned that “islands and countries” would soon “disappear underwater.”
An ‘Existential Threat’ Causing ‘Climate Anxiety’
President Joe Biden emphasized the need for increased investment in green-energy solutions to “climate-proof the world.” He stated that his administration has treated the climate crisis as an existential threat from the moment they took office.
Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the issue of “climate anxiety” among young people, questioning whether it makes sense for them to have children or aspire to buy a home. However, a study published earlier this year found that those who are most worried about climate change tend to know the least about it.
If Harris and others were genuinely concerned about climate anxiety, they would stop using fearmongering and alarmism for political gain. They would follow the example of billionaire Bill Gates, who recently stated that “there’s a lot of climate exaggeration” and reassured that “the planet is going to be fine.”
Despite the constant apocalyptic messages, here are three important facts about the climate:
1. Wildfire Rates Have Declined Since 2001
Contrary to popular belief, global wildfires are burning at their lowest rate in decades, despite claims linking them to climate change.
2. Hurricanes Are Becoming Less Frequent
Severe landfall hurricanes in the U.S. are actually decreasing slightly, not increasing, according to reliable data spanning over a century.
3. Climate-Related Deaths Are Down
Thanks to fossil fuels, capitalism, and human innovation, climate-related deaths have decreased by 99 percent worldwide over the past 100 years.
How does alarmist rhetoric around climate change impact the fight against it?
Ed climate change as an “existential threat” and acknowledged the existence of “climate anxiety” among the global population. Biden called for urgent action, urging countries to step up their efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to renewable energy sources.
While it is undeniable that climate change poses significant challenges and that collective action is necessary, we must also be cautious of alarmist rhetoric that fuels panic and despair. The phrase “humanity has opened the gates of hell” used by the U.N. Secretary-General is not only sensationalist but also unproductive in the fight against climate change.
By focusing solely on the negative impacts of climate change, we risk overlooking the advancements and innovations that have been made in renewable energy and sustainable practices. It is important to acknowledge that progress is being made, albeit slowly, and that there are viable solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change.
The blame placed solely on fossil fuels is also misleading. While it is true that fossil fuels contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, it is essential to recognize the complex and interconnected nature of our global energy systems. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is a complex process that requires extensive research, development, and investment. It cannot be achieved overnight.
The focus should be on incentivizing and supporting the development of clean technologies, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering international cooperation. This includes engaging with developing nations to provide them with the necessary resources and support to transition to cleaner energy sources without hindering their economic development.
In addition, addressing climate change requires a multi-faceted approach that goes beyond energy production. It involves sustainable land and water management, biodiversity conservation, and the promotion of circular economies. By adopting a holistic approach, we can better tackle the interconnected challenges of climate change and ensure a more sustainable future for all.
Furthermore, instilling fear and panic through alarmist language is not conducive to effective climate action. It is important to create a positive discourse that inspires hope and encourages individuals and communities to take action in their daily lives. By promoting education, awareness, and empowerment, we can collectively work towards a more resilient and sustainable future.
Climate change is undoubtedly a pressing issue that requires urgent attention and concerted efforts from all sectors of society. However, it is crucial to approach it with a balanced and pragmatic perspective. By acknowledging the progress that has been made, promoting collaboration and innovation, and fostering a positive narrative, we can effectively address climate change and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
