Hurricane Helene Used for Climate Change Alarmist Propaganda, By James Reed

As is very predictable now, the increasingly intellectually desperate climate change alarmist lobby has jumped upon the opportunity to use "fear porn," over the devastation brought by Hurricane Helene in the US. The hurricane was said by the mainstream news networks, and the US Democrats, to be a product of human-caused climate change, so all the more reason for following the agenda of the elimination of fossils fuels, the deindustrialisation of the West, and allowing the rise of communist China with its new coal fired power stations built at record speed. Global warming is real, it is proclaimed. The mainstream media has pushed the line that natural weather disasters are on the increase, even though the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) does not hold to this, as too many scientific papers are against it.

Dr. Matt Wielicky, former assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama, has detailed how two consecutive similar tropical storms that hit North Carolina in 1916 were even worse than Helene despite lower carbon emission levels: "The 1916 event occurred even though atmospheric CO2 levels were approximately 120 ppm lower than they are today," Wielicki said. "Blaming the fossil fuel industry for all weather-related disasters overlooks the complexity of natural climate variability and the role of poor urban planning in flood-prone regions."

We see the same ideology pushed each year when the inevitable disasters caused by bushfires in Australia occurs. These are natural events made worse by the crazy Greens laws that prohibit clearing and pre-emptive burning of scrub. Consequently, flammable material builds up, creating a towering inferno. There is no global warming or climate change problem, just a Green/environmentalist problem.

"Even as the death toll from Hurricane Helene continues to rise, pundits in the mainstream media are rushing to use the disaster as an excuse to promote their narrative that "global warming" is real.

As reported by Just The News, a number of prominent anchors, commentators, and other television personalities have used the occasion of the hurricane to spread lies about so-called "global warming," also referred to as "climate change."

"We are living in an era of extreme weather that requires new language," said CBS News' Major Garrett. He went on to falsely claim that the world has seen an increase in the number of every kind of natural disaster, despite this having been debunked by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

CNN's Angela Fritz declared that Hurricane Helene was caused by "fossil fuel pollution," claiming with no evidence that "the atmosphere, warmed by more than a century of fossil fuel pollution, is hotter now than it was in pre-industrial times." However, studies have shown that carbon dioxide emissions are created by just about every single process in existence that provides basic necessities to the population, including the shipping of materials and products, ranging from food to clothing.

Fritz went on to further claim that "More than 90% of warming around the globe over the past 50 years has taken place in the oceans, and it's making storms more likely to undergo these rapid intensification cycles."

But this claim has also been disproven, with Dr. Matt Wielicky, former assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama, explaining how two consecutive similar tropical storms that impacted North Carolina in 1916 were even worse than Helene despite lower carbon emission levels overall.

"The 1916 event occurred even though atmospheric CO2 levels were approximately 120 ppm lower than they are today," Wielicki confirmed. "Blaming the fossil fuel industry for all weather-related disasters overlooks the complexity of natural climate variability and the role of poor urban planning in flood-prone regions."

The subject of global warming was brought up at the vice presidential debate on Tuesday night, with CBS News' moderators blaming global warming for the hurricane. After both candidates gave their answers on the statement, the moderators falsely claimed that the "scientific consensus" is that global warming is real, even though there is no such consensus.

The overall death toll from Hurricane Helene has risen to 139. The storm impacted the southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia."
