Climate Change Brings a Flood of Hyperbole<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Despite constant warnings of catastrophe, things aren\u2019t anywhere near as dire as the media says.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued its latest report assessing the state of the climate and projecting its future. As usual, the media and politicians are exaggerating and distorting the evidence in the report. They lament an allegedly broken climate and proclaim, yet again, that we are facing the \u201clast, best chance\u201d to save the planet from a hellish future. In fact, things aren\u2019t\u2014and won\u2019t be\u2014anywhere near as dire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new report, titled AR6, is almost 4,000 pages, written by several hundred government-nominated scientists over the past four years. It should command our attention, especially because this report will be a crucial element of the coming United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. Leaders from 196 countries will come together there in November, likely to adopt more-aggressive nonbinding pledges to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous climate-assessment reports have misrepresented scientific research in the \u201cconclusions<\/a>\u201d presented to policy makers and the media. The summary of the most recent U.S. government climate report, for instance, said<\/a> heat waves across the U.S. have become more frequent since 1960, but neglected to mention that the body of the report shows<\/a> they are no more common today than they were in 1900. Knowledgeable independent scientists need to scrutinize the latest U.N. report because of the major societal and economic disruptions that would take place on the way to a \u201cnet zero\u201d world, including the elimination of fossil-fueled electricity, transportation and heat, as well as complete transformation of agricultural methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
