This country is a mess! I don’t believe any thinking American could disagree.

I listened as the leaders of our various branches of the military declared the biggest threat facing America is climate change. What?! Bigger than China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other countries that wish us harm?

Our military is so woke, I don’t believe they could defend us if we were attacked. How can they protect us when they can’t even admit who the enemy is?! It’s terrifying that it’s come to this.

Al Gore’s film “Inconvenient Truths” sparked a global warming hysteria. That was 30 years ago and he’s still the go-to guy with the media for up-to-date information. He won many awards for his reporting and predictions.

The problem is he was spectacularly wrong on almost every one of them. The glaciers are not gone, there is still snow on Kilimanjaro, the seas didn’t rise 20 feet, severe hurricanes didn’t increase, they have decreased. We now know Gore’s film was either a masterful deception or a massive cruel doomsday hoax meant to frighten us to do stupid things.

In the paper “A critical assessment of extreme events trends in times of global warming,” a team of Italian researchers in the fields of physics and meteorology reviewed the literature and examined the data with regard to extreme weather events. They found no increasing trends for heatwaves, tropical cyclones, extreme precipitation events, tornadoes, droughts, floods and crop failures.

Climate change has become almost a religion among many, especially to young people. They have been terrified by the horrifying predictions they’ve heard all of their lives and there just isn’t any way to prove to them they have been deceived.

However, most people over 40 see all of the horrible predictions have not happened and the computer models aren’t reliable at all. And most believe climate change is real and has been for centuries. But I believe it doesn’t pose a threat to mankind, if we just respect nature. That doesn’t require trillions of dollars, giving up our freedoms and placing some in government in charge of remaking our country to their benefit.

That’s why I believe the climate change leaders are trying to advance the spending because they realize many of us that were supporters are now climate change deniers. I’m a Christian and I believe that the God that created all this beauty has and is doing a great job of protecting it. He controls the clouds and ocean temperature. We can’t control the weather, but He can and what a blessing that is!
