Clinton's Climate Change agenda: The death of science and humanity

At a rally Oct. 11 focused entirely on climate change, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made it clear that she would continue and intensify President Barack Obama's climate change agenda.

Whoever wrote her script understands little or nothing about climate science, but that made little difference to a mostly young and equally ill informed crowd.

Clinton began her pseudo-scientific rant by citing multiple unfounded dangers of climate change, while attacking Republican candidate Donald Trump for denying them.

She then claimed that Hurricane Matthew, which passed east of the Florida coast and made landfall in South Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane, "was likely more destructive because of climate change."

To the contrary, hurricanes have no connection to climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared that there is no significant correlation between climate change/global warming and extreme events like hurricanes, droughts, and floods.

In fact, the United States continues in the longest period since before 1900 without a major (Category 3 or higher) hurricane making landfall. It will be 11 years as of Oct. 21.

Just to the set the record straight, climate has been changing since Earth began. Warming and cooling occur in cycles. No "climate skeptic" denies climate change. What skeptics deny is that human-induced warming is so dangerous as to warrant spending trillions to reduce it.

Climate data for the past 2,000 years gives us a rather contrasting picture to that painted by Al Gore, Obama, and Clinton. Temperature reconstructions show that global temperatures have risen and fallen on scales comparable to that of the 20th century....



...The victims of climate alarmism won't be limited to developing nations like India. The transition to renewables will cause a massive hike in energy prices across the developed world, too.

The marginalized would end up spending a major portion of their insufficient income on energy bills.

Clinton's apathy towards climate science and misplaced trust in Al Gore not only dangerously undermine the integrity of science, but also, if she is elected and implements her policies, will have a devastating impact on billions of people.
