Climate Change Is Spiraling Out of Control
By Alan Singer
At the United Nations in September, United States President Donald Trump declared “This ‘climate change,’ it’s the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion. All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people that have cost their countries fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success. If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.”
Guess who the stupid one is and guess who is going to pay the price?
According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service of the European Union, 2024 was the hottest year on record. The previous hottest year was 2023. Meanwhile the World Meteorological Organization reports the average level of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere climbed by the highest amount ever between 2023 and 2024 because of the burning of fossil fuels.
