Friends and neighbors,

I wanted to draw your attention to data that once again provides important context to the climate hysteria that has overtaken many of America’s institutions.

Many of you have heard the press tell us that 2023 was the hottest year on record.

The reality? During the summer of 1936, it was significantly hotter in many more cities than this year.

Please do not reflexively buy into the hysteria. Climate models have been frequently incorrect in their temperature predictions, so we must be skeptical about the accuracy of future projections and claims that rely on those models. There are a lot of factors that influence climate data. There have also been instances of manipulation.

The reality is that the Earth's climate has always experienced periods of warming and cooling, and current changes are part of those natural cycles.

I hope we can all continue to follow the science and not the frightening headlines.
