Natural Disaster Nonsense

RE: Canada’s premiers face escalating climate change-related disasters. CP story by Lyndsay Armstrong

“”…many of them remained consumed by climate-related disasters that have only escalated since they returned home,” claims the story.  Actually, climate-related disasters can’t possibly escalate since natural disasters aren’t due to climate. Or to climate “change” for that matter.

What is climate “change,” after all? Change is a process: the actualization of a potential.  In climate change, you start with one climate and end with another climate; and all the intermediates are climates also. So, climate change affects only climate; and climate does not cause weather events: even places with desert climate experience torrential rainstorms from time to time.

It is positing a false cause to say that climate or climate change causes weather events, period, or natural disasters. However many disastrous hurricanes pass over Florida, hurricanes are not the climate of Florida, nor is the climate of Florida the cause of Atlantic hurricanes.

Claiming helplessness on the basis of “climate change” or of it “escalating natural disasters” should not fool people.  The premiers, and the rest of us, have to dig in and deal with what nature has in store for us, and enough of the blaming and the deflecting of blame.

Climate change is a false narrative to justify political control and actions that harm the economy.
