Tampa mayor warns residents they will 'die' if they don't evacuate, as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida
Business InsiderOCT 2024
Meteorologists have been warning about a storm like Milton for decades, but even after it's arrived, the spread of anti-science misinformation is growing faster on social media. This includes people relying on lived experiences to downplay the hurricane's threat, and others claiming the government is controlling the weather. What the real science shows is simple: burning fossil fuels leads to global warming, and global warming is causing record-breaking storms.
The climate alarmists are yet again trying to scare everyone to death. The problem with talking about death, however, is that natural disaster-related deaths now make up a fraction of what they did a century ago. With respect to property damage, that, too, has also fallen inas thea percentage of GDP over the last three30 decadesyears; the amount of damage is also due to more buildings being built. Everyone would be better off if all the data was talked about, rather than just the doom and gloom.
