I’m not denying a hotter summer. Or the potential for extreme weather. I’m questioning the hype and bullshit cheerleading squad in every marketing department that gets paid in clicks now.

Keep that in mind and temper your fears with a results-based look at the onslaught of OMGWTF world-ending predictions from the weather warriors over the last five years. You’ll find an imaginary death toll greater than every Cold War scenario that never happened.
