The Misplaced Focus of Climate Alarmism in the Face of Human Suffering
I am appalled by climate alarmists who use every opportunity to promote a fake globalist climate agenda, like recent claims that hurricanes are getting worse, while ignoring the historical context of storms on the East Coast, especially as urban development encroaches on flood-prone areas. The real human suffering in North Carolina and Georgia should be our primary concern.
Why did aid from Trump and private organizations like Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse arrive swiftly while government officials lagged in providing support? It took 5-6 days for Harris and Biden to show up! We need a shift in focus towards effective recovery and practical solutions rather than perpetuating alarmist rhetoric.
Biden Drained $1B from FEMA to Fund Illegal Migrants and Mayorkas has Stated FEMA is Out of Money! Congress Just Approved Appropriation of Another $20M. Where’s the Money, Shelter, and Material Help-Where’s FEMA?!
People are reporting that men, women, and children are starving and without water or sanitation. Dead bodies and body parts are floating downriver and are even snagged up in tree branches. Young children are wandering naked in the mud, crying for their parents. Entire communities are gone. Militias are forming to self-police what’s left of their communities. As of now, over 7,000 residents in North Carolina have registered for FEMA individual assistance following the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene, and 600 individuals have been reported as “unaccounted for.”
Rumors are surfacing that towns like Chimney Rock have been seized by the Federal Government to be leveled, and countless reports that the dead are not being collected. Friends are being threatened with arrests for flying in supplies to aid these rural areas. It’s almost like there’s a conspiracy to prevent these poor folks from receiving help. It reminds me of the Maui fires when a significant effort was made to snatch up land from the lifelong locals, and where FEMA was housed in luxury hotels nowhere near the crisis and offered up little to no help. It’s probably time to shut down FEMA and return this role to the states.
We must acknowledge the long history of hurricanes and severe storms in the region, from the Great Hurricane of 1752 to recent events like Hurricane Helene. More than 80 million people live in High-risk hurricane zones in the U.S., primarily along the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Coast, and certain areas of the Pacific Coast.
Hurricane Katrina suffered 1800 fatalities, making it the most devastating hurricane on record in the 21st Century. Still, multi-thousands died in the Great Hurricane of 1780, and 2,000 were claimed in the Sea Islands Hurricane of 1893.
North Carolina has a long history of hurricanes, severe storms, and flooding dating back to the earliest written records of the colonial era, with flooding a common trial, including:
Great Hurricane of 1752: Described by settlers as a storm that destroyed towns along the coast, including New Bern.
1821 Norfolk and Long Island Hurricane: A powerful storm, recorded through ships' logs and town reports, which caused significant flooding and damage along the Outer Banks.
1899 San Ciriaco Hurricane: Described as bringing devastating winds and unprecedented floods, it submerged entire islands.
Hurricane Hazel (1954): One of the most devastating hurricanes, causing widespread damage.
Hurricane Fran (1996): Massive flooding and wind damage, especially in inland areas.
Hurricane Florence (2018): Record-breaking rainfall and severe flooding across the state.
Georgia also has a rich history of hurricanes, severe storms, and flooding events, including the Sea Islands Hurricane (1893), which killed over 2,000 people, and Hurricane David (1979).
Historical data reveals a consistent pattern of hurricanes and severe storms and provides no evidence to support the claim of exponentially worsening storms over time. Every year, between June 1st and November 30th, it’s hurricane season in the Gulf and South Atlantic States; it always has been and always will be.
Instead of sensationalizing climate change, the media should focus on actionable reporting, identifying where help is needed most.
Where is the compassion in prioritizing climate narratives over the immediate needs of communities in crisis?
