She then claimed that Hurricane Matthew, which passed east of the Florida coast and made landfall in South Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane, “was likely more destructive because of climate change.”

To the contrary, hurricanes have no connection to climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared that there is no significant correlation between climate change/global warming and extreme events like hurricanes, droughts, and floods.

In fact, the United States continues in the longest period since before 1900 without a major (Category 3 or higher) hurricane making landfall. It will be 11 years as of Oct. 21.

Just to the set the record straight, climate has been changing since Earth began. Warming and cooling occur in cycles. No “climate skeptic” denies climate change. What skeptics deny is that human-induced warming is so dangerous as to warrant spending trillions to reduce it.

Climate data for the past 2,000 years gives us a rather contrasting picture to that painted by Al Gore, Obama, and Clinton. Temperature reconstructions show that global temperatures have risen and fallen on scales comparable to that of the 20^th century.

Also, since about 1850, Earth has been bouncing back from the Little Ice Age, which lasted for 600 years. The modern warming started long before carbon dioxide concentration rose enough to contribute significantly.

Clearly, none of the earlier warming trends were caused by man, and there are no convincing reasons to claim that the current climate trend is driven primarily by manmade carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. Moreover, even scientists who advocate for dangerous global warming have admitted that Earth’s atmosphere has failed to warm significantly in the past 19 years.

So if anyone is denying climate change, it is Clinton and Gore. They falsely extrapolate actual climate science data to fit their alarmist agenda. In condemning the climate realists, they have become the real climate change deniers.

Their goal is to force a transition from fossil fuels to renewables. Climate change is just their excuse for the massive overhaul of energy production, forcing countries to abandon traditionally reliable and affordable fossil energy sources.

The Paris agreement on climate change, despite massive hype, is at best a makeshift policy that will have no major impact on global temperature levels. Even if all countries meet their goals and more than $1 trillion is spent every year until 2100, the global atmospheric temperature won’t be reduced more than 0.3˚F (0.17˚C).

But this futile exercise of reducing carbon dioxide emissions won’t be achieved without a massive compromise of the energy security of developing countries, in turn slowing their conquest of poverty.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that India and China have both ratified the Paris agreement. The agreement is based on individual commitments made by each country. Countries like India have made very shallow commitments, but have concrete plans for the prolonged use of fossil fuel resources. The agreement will only impede economic growth in these countries, where millions die each year because of poverty.

In countries like India, slower economic growth leads to the loss of millions of lives. Renewables cannot meet India’s energy demands, and their small contribution will be at an increased cost.

The victims of climate alarmism won’t be limited to developing nations like India. The transition to renewables will cause a massive hike in energy prices across the developed world, too. The marginalized would end up spending a major portion of their insufficient income on energy bills.

Clinton’s apathy towards climate science and misplaced trust in Al Gore not only dangerously undermine the integrity of science, but also, if she is elected and implements her policies, will have a devastating impact on billions of people.
