“Do not ignore the science” | OK, I won’t


SCMP -- with the likes of this article and repeated David Dodwell scare pieces -- has become Climate Alarmism Central. 

*The Science*:  data from Hong Kong Observatory shows Typhoons in our region (Northern West Pacific and SCS) have slightly reduced in number and intensity in recent decades. And we know how to handle them. Why then, all the typhoon scare-nonsense from "PhD in chemistry" Martin Williams who focusses on typhoons? 

He mocks the HK Climate Action Plan with emphasis on “decarbonisation” with a “lack of urgency”. What should be done? “Advocate for changes by companies and governments”. That’s it?! My simple answer: Nuclear and gas. And ditch the catastrophism. 

Williams says he’s fear mongering because “doom and gloom climate news may scare, but also encourage audiences”. Beg to differ. Didn’t work for Covid (people became hyper scared). And has made young ones depressed and without hope on Climate

I’m heartily sick of these climate alarmist articles. It’s all that the South China Morning Post carries now. They have become Climate Alarmism Central. There is nothing anywhere else either, in mainstream media, that is anything other than alarmist. Yet most of what is happening to the daily weather -- temperature aside -- is not measurably changing due to climate change.
