DO NOT LET THE CLIMATE PHOBES RULE

Learn not the ways of nations, nor be dismayed at the signs in the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them, for the customs of the peoples are false (Jeremiah 10:2).

The wicked flee when no one is pursuing (Proverbs 28:1).

Climate change will be one of the major themes of election year politics for the foreseeable future.  The purpose of making "climate change" a political issue is to elect politicians who will be extremely sympathetic to using unConstitutional means to stop the the "global climate emergency."  There are a lot of climate phobes out there who are true believers that there is a climate crisis.  Yes, there are horrendous storms, as we have seen in our area recently, but, statistically, we are no more likely to experience a severe weather event now than they were 50 to 100 years ago.

The century-long trend in hurricanes is slightly down, not up, according to the national hurricane center.  As for tornadoes, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration says there has been no change in severe tornado activity over the past 55 years.  Regarding extreme heat and cold temperatures, NOAA's U.S. Climate Extremes Index of unusually hot or cold temperatures finds that over the last 10 years, five years have been below the historical mean and five years above the mean (Dave Bierman, Wallaces Farmer letter to the editor, June 2014).

America has always been "The land of the free and the home of the brave."  This is no time to be frightened by the climatephobes, the pseudoscientists and the freedom-grabbing politicians.  Certainly, we must always care for the environment, but in a way that guards the freedoms and jobs of the American people.  Do not panic, the climate will be doing just fine when the Lord returns in 2060!

Our Father's Blessings,
Tom
