If we have any real climate issue, it’s the political climate - Climate Change Dispatch

Los Angeles is burning and the East Coast and Midwest have been walloped by cold and snow. - I & I Editorial Board 

Naturally, the global warming alarmists screech and honk about human reliance on fossil fuels.
It is a gross and irresponsible assumption...

• Overshadowed by the tragic Los Angeles fires is the Arctic blast that dropped temperatures and snow in much of the country. This too, is man’s fault. But then when it doesn’t snow, well, man is to blame for that, as well.

As we have been doing regarding global warming for about three decades, allow us to offer some facts that don’t scream as loudly but are facts nonetheless:

• ...climate researcher Anthony Watts, “a closer look at history, meteorology, and land management reveals that these claims are often oversimplified by low-information journalists, and fail to address more immediate, actionable causes.”..
• Tony Heller helpfully points out that “Pacific Palisades was largely destroyed by fires in 1938 and 1961.” Yet we’re supposed to believe that our oil and gas needs set California on fire this time...
• Claims that wildfires have increased are false...
• In California, wildfires have fallen sharply since the late 1980s, from nearly 14,000 a year to about 7,000...
• The real reasons for California’s devastating fires aren’t “weather whiplash” or any other new theory. It’s human error, repeated mistakes made by California’s clueless progressive political class.

If we have any real climate issue, it’s the political climate...
