Tuesday's Absurdity of the Day: Now Climate Change is Hazardous to Your Health
The Climate-related brainwashing effort expands again.
You have to hand it to the climate change hysterics: They are relentless in their efforts to brainwash the public. Having already corrupted the global historic temperature records kept by NOAA; having already turned the Weather Channel into just another propaganda outlet; having already corrupted the central mission at NASA; having already forced the U.S. military to pretend that climate change is our most dangerous security threat; and having ensured that every local weather forecast is larded up with subtle and not-so-subtle messaging promoting climate propaganda (what do you think those more severe “feels like temperatures” are all about?) the woke hysterics and their minions in the Biden administration on Monday turned their focus to yet another front from which to push climate-related brainwashing and fear onto you and your children.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, headed now by openly Marxist Xavier Becerra, announced Monday that it is creating a “new office” that plans to deal with climate change as a threat to public health, complete with the communist language code name of the Office of Climate Change and Health Equity.
Becerra wasted no adverbs or adjectives with his message: “History will judge us for the actions we take today to protect our world and our health from climate change. The consequences for our inaction are real and worsening. We’ve always known that health is at the center of climate change, and now we’re going to double-down on a necessity: fighting climate change in order to help protect public health in our communities.”
But wait, the false climate propaganda gets even worse than that. Check this out:
With the threats of extreme heat and drought, growing wildfires, and a high risk of hurricanes so evident this summer, HHS is mobilizing its resources to protect the health of all Americans. The World Health Organization estimates that at least 250,000 deaths will occur every year due to climate change. The threats to health are serious and numerous. But we have the ability to protect people, especially in our most vulnerable pockets of America.
Here are the facts, though: wildfires are a small fraction of what they were just 50 years ago thanks to proper forest management; the frequency of hurricane events has fallen dramatically in this century, their severity is unchanged; as I detailed for you on Saturday, actual threats to human health and life from natural disasters has fallen dramatically over the last 65 years, to the point where it has been all but eliminated outside of small pockets of the world that have no building codes or modern infrastructure. Where hurricanes are concerned, we just witnessed the passage of a monstrous, Category 4 storm named Ida that resulted in the loss of only 4 human lives.
The truth is that you are vastly more likely to die from a fall in your shower than you are to be harmed by anything related to “climate change.”
But these propagandists are absolutely relentless, and know they can get away with spending billions of your dollars on propaganda efforts like this one anytime and anywhere they happen to be in power. Once established in our federal government, completely wasteful and unneeded propaganda efforts like this one never go away.
Just tune into your local PBS channel for the most blatant example.
That is all.
