Environmentalists ‘Ignore the Winter’ While ‘Hyping Up’ Summers to Maintain Climate Narrative, Expert Claims

The ongoing narrative presenting the current hot temperatures across the world as something alarming is ludicrous, according to Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of the national nonprofit advocacy group Power the Future, who insists that environmental activists are hyping up heat events.

Earlier this month, Christopher Hewitt, director of climate services at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), said the world is in “unchartered territory” as the organization reported “record-breaking temperatures.” However, in a July 19 interview with Joshua Philipp on EpochTV’s “Crossroads,” Mr. Turner called such claims “laughable.”

Mr. Turner’s organization advocates in Washington for American energy jobs. He pointed out that very long ago, when the Sahara desert was an ocean, the world’s average temperature was about 30 degrees hotter than it currently is.

“There were no humans that caused that. It was just the natural earth cycle,” he said. “So the environmentalists are all up in arms that we’re 1.2 to 1.8 degrees Celsius warmer than we were 150 years ago. And that’s really kind of a negligible number when you look at the billions of years that the Earth has been around.”

The Earth saw its “coolest June in the last 30-some-odd years,” according to Mr. Turner. However, this fact “barely made the news cycle because it wasn’t a fun, sexy story. So they just kind of ignored it.”

Even though the United States is seeing a hot July right now, that isn’t surprising since it’s part of the Northern Hemisphere, where the months of July and August “should be hot,” according to Mr. Turner. He criticized environmentalists for hyping up heat while ignoring the intense winters.

“It’s very strange, though, that the environmental left loves to talk about the summer, they love to talk about the heat. Because it’s sexy, the heat is oppressive, it’s very uncomfortable. But the cold is actually much more deadly,” he said.

“On average, four times more people die of the cold. And yet when we have terrible winters, we don’t blame that on climate change. We just call that winter because it doesn’t fit the narrative that the planet is getting warmer.

“So they just ignore the winter.”
