Hundreds of years ago, communities built dams recognizing the very real threat of floods to life and livelihood. These structures became a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. Fast forward to today, and in the name of environmentalism, we're tearing down these barriers—239 removed in Europe alone in 2021—only to blame climate change when floods devastate towns. This is insanity. We've forgotten the lessons of the past, dismantling protections that safeguarded generations and then pointing fingers at climate when nature inevitably takes its course. #Floods #Environmentalism #ClimateNarrative #Valencia #DANA

Check out a series I'm doing investigating predictions made by the most newsworthy #climate papers of the past decade. Part 1:https://irrationalfear.substack.com/p/examining-the-most-newsworthy-climate Part 2:https://irrationalfear.substack.com/p/examining-the-most-newsworthy-climate-4c5 Part 3:https://irrationalfear.substack.com/p/examining-the-most-newsworthy-climate-c1e Part 4:https://irrationalfear.substack.com/p/examining-the-most-newsworthy-climate-bda

Examining the most newsworthy climate papers in the last decade (Part 1)... The most newsworthy paper in 2014 predicted an increase in lightning in the USA due to climate change. Lightning fatalities, injuries, and costs are all down since the publication. irrationalfear.substack.com

Examining the most newsworthy climate papers in the last decade (Part 2)... The most newsworthy paper in 2015 predicted that the future climate of Southwest Asia would be uninhabitable to humans. Let's see how populations have changed in SW Asia. irrationalfear.substack.com

Examining the most newsworthy climate papers in the last decade (Part 3)... The most newsworthy paper in 2016 predicted that Antarctica has the potential to raise sea-level more than 1m by 2100. For the last 3 years Antarctica has added ice mass and lowered sea-level. irrationalfear.substack.com

Examining the most newsworthy climate papers in the last decade (Part 4)... The most newsworthy paper in 2017 discussed the dire future of the Great Barrier Reef system. Recent results show that 2/3rds of the GBR are at 36-year highs in coral coverage. irrationalfear.substack.com

Spoiler alert... none of the catastrophic predictions have come true.

"In summary, despite many socio-economic challenges, the agricultural output of regions in Africa, predicted by the IPCC to decline up to 50% by 2020, has increased significantly. Clearly, the changing climate has had little negative impact on the agricultural output of African regions, despite the claims of the IPCC. How many times can you cry wolf before people start to ignore you?" https://irrationalfear.substack.com/p/has-the-ipcc-got-anything-right-at

There is physically not enough material at current extraction rates to produce one generation of technology (which needs to be replaced every 20 years or so) to phase out fossil fuels. We either better start ramping up our mining efforts or drop this fantasy.

"In the 20 years beginning in 1980 extreme weather affected 60% of the global population, including 18% of the global population dying in extreme weather events. In the following 20-year period beginning in 2000, only 56% of the global population was affected by extreme weather, including only 7% dying due to extreme weather. In the last 20-year period, when more anthropogenic GHG emissions were added to the atmosphere than ever before, the number of people affected by extreme weather declined." https://irrationalfear.substack.com/p/does-climate-change-increase-the
