The Spin

Despite meteorologists warning about storms this severe, anti-science misinformation — aided by social media — continues spreading. Whether it's those who need to ride out a storm to believe in its strength or people who believe the government is controlling the storms, everyone must accept that burning fossil fuels leads to global warming, which causes record-breaking storms.

Climate alarmists are again trying to scare everyone to death. Deaths from natural disasters make up a fraction of what they did a century ago and property damage has also fallen as a percentage of GDP over the last 30 years, all while more buildings are being built. Everyone would be better off if all the data was talked about, rather than just the doom and gloom.
