Jane Orient, MD, President, Doctors for Disaster Preparedness: A “climate emergency” has been declared, echoed by Democratic Presidential aspirants and by thousands of street protesters worldwide. There is an existential threat related to climate, as Climate Strike activists claim, but it comes from the radical political agenda being promoted under cover of “saving the planet.” The evidence refutes the claim that human emissions of carbon dioxide can catastrophically disrupt the earth’s climate. Continuing to spend trillions of dollars to “fight climate change” will have no effect on the climate and cannot meet human energy needs with “renewables.”
