Yes Virginia, there were storms and natural disasters before the 21st century.
Bjorn Lomborg wrote an interesting editorial that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Friday. It's about a paper published in the respected journal Lancet, that's gotten a lot of press coverage. It claims rising temperatures have increased global heat deaths among people aged over 65 by 68% over two decades. Lomborg notes that the authors failed to note that the population of people over 65 had increased by 60% over two decades. So the increase in heat deaths was almost entirely due to the increase in the population! That's an incredibly stupid oversight.
Lomborg goes on to say that many more people die from cold than die from heat. He estimates that the higher temperatures cause about 17,000 more heat deaths in older people. But more than 500,000 fewer deaths from cold!

What's worse than a pundit or politician opining on something he knows nothing about? Well, how about a sanctimonious, uneducated, mentally-ill 19 year old woman telling us the world's going to come to an end because of fossil fuels. And having heads of state including Barrack Obama take her seriously. The icing on the cake is that now Thunberg is calling for the downfall of capitalism.
Thanks for the link. I didn't know that Thunberg had expanded her agenda. What's interesting, she also says that "socialism, liberalism, communism, conservatism, centrism, you name it" have all failed too. What does she want? A return to an anarchistic agrarian society, horses and buggies? Well, I'm not sure. Animals fart, and apparently that's a problem too.
Oliver's right, given the opportunity these blockheads would throw a lot more people into poverty.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti admitted recently that the true motivation behind introducing the Green New Deal is to overhaul the “entire economy.”
Chakrabarti said that addressing climate change was not Ocasio-Cortez’s top priority in proposing the Green New Deal during a meeting with Washington governor Jay Inslee.
“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal, is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all,” Chakrabarti said to Inslee’s climate director, Sam Ricketts, according to a Washington Post reporter who attended the meeting for a profile published Wednesday.
“Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing,” he added...

it's always been about income redistribution. these arrogant UN assholes and socialists like Saikat Chakrabarti have bragged about it for decades.
it's also about destroying the US and capitalism and ushering in a global elite ruling class of uber rich socialists (who got rich from capitalism) while making the rest of the world (that they allow to live after a massive population reduction) to be their serfs.

You left out the best parts,
The Green New Deal, proposed earlier this year by Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey (D., Mass.), would transition the U.S. economy entirely away from fossil fuels within ten years while simultaneously providing a federal jobs and healthcare guarantee. It would also, according to its proponents, advance “social, economic, racial, regional and gender-based justice and equality and cooperative and public ownership.”
All told, the proposal will cost up to $93 trillion in new government spending over ten years, according to a recent report by the conservative American Action Forum.
Well, my baby's nothing if not bold. (In Winn Dixie's absence, I've adopted his vernacular, although I'm applying it to a woman who's actually attractive, instead of Nancy Pelosi.)
