- I’m starting a new series where I share a chart each day that will help calm climate anxiety. The point of sharing these is to show the average person that the science around climate change is complex and it is not an end-of-the-world scenario. These charts are ones I’ve saved
00:00 - It took me five years to find the courage to speak out against climate alarmism. I was only able to do so by following in the footsteps of brave climate realists like @curryja, @AlexEpstein, @ShellenbergerMD, Steve Koonin, @BjornLomborg, and countless others who faced realToday, Bill Gates admitted that pushing climate doomerism was a mistake. @LLBiggers: “That shift to common sense is welcome, but it comes after decades of fearmongering that harmed young people, stalled development, and punished dissenting scientists.”

00:00 - Day 2 of my Calming Climate Charts series! Today, I’m looking at a NASA chart that shows the global greening that has occurred since the 1980s due to increased CO₂. When I was deep in the climate movement mindset, I believed CO₂ was an evil pollutant—literally killing the
00:00 - Day 3 of my Calming Climate Chart series! Today I reference the work of @AlexEpstein who has been a huge inspiration for me. We’ve never been safer from the climate and yet young people walk around thinking deaths are getting worse. The misinformation and fearmongering from the
00:00 - Part 2: My Influences That Made Me Question the Climate Alarmism Narrative Today I want to share some of the influences that helped me wake up to the fact that the climate movement is pushing an alarmist narrative that’s doing more harm than good. Right now, most young people

- Day 6 of my Calming Climate Chart Series. Today I tackle hurricanes! Despite the scary headlines there is no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes! Why is this not more common knowledge?
