LETTER: Many lies published about climate change

Climate activists and far-left politicians routinely claim that global warming is the biggest, most urgent problem facing the world.

Not so fast.

In Chicago alone there were 660 murders in 2017 and 777 in 2016, largely due to gang violence and illegal drug activity.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed on 9/11/01 in New York City by radical Islamists.

Changes in weather caused by humans has killed how many?

Many “drop-dead dates” from climate experts such as Al Gore have come and gone many years ago.

Other similarly politically motivated elites travel by private jets and yachts to global climate summits — preaching about the sins of fossil fuel.

World-class hypocrites.

Another influential person who has been exceedingly vocal of imminent doom is Barack Obama.

He has recently purchased a mansion on the east coast, in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., for $15 million.

This location reportedly is to be underwater per previous projections of rising sea levels.

Why did he make this purchase when he knows it will soon be covered by the Atlantic Ocean because of rising sea levels caused by climate change?

Many lies have been published regarding climate change, including by the United Nations’ International Panel on Climate Change.

Work accomplished — and manual labor saved — by internal combustion engines (the villain of climate alarmists) is impossible to overstate.

This work/travel won’t be replaced by battery- or solar-powered alternatives anytime soon.
