If you've been reading or hearing about climate change lately, you may have noticed the trend toward linking global heating or cooling with weather events such as blizzards or hurricanes, something increasingly called Climate Alarmism.
"The public instinctively knows this, all this is, is they're weaponizing every weather event to turn it into political activism," says Climate Depot publisher Marc Morano.
"One meteorologist dubbed it 'climate ambulance-chasing,' which is exactly what it is."
"Bad weather hits, a blizzard, a tornado hits in Tornado Alley, a hurricane hits during hurricane season, and they claim we caused it, because of our SUVs, because of our coal plants, because of our air conditioners.
There are scientists and meteorologists who have said that most extreme weather, such as today's winter storms in the US, are not directly linked to man-made climate change. Others disagree, and many say extreme events aren't caused by man-made climate change but are made worse by it. Morano says there's no link, and even if there were it would be extremely hard to prove.
Climate catastrophe proponents usually say extreme weather events are caused by climate change, "and this is true despite the fact that in the latest United Nations reports, buried in the report they admit hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and droughts are either not trends, or are declining trends," Morano says. These weather events are either declining in number or not increasing in strength or number.
Mario lumps together the United Nations, the news media and climate activists in perpetuating a myth that every unusual weather event has roots in the climate change narrative.
But that's what it is, he says, a narrative. And a narrative is a story that isn't always true.
