Climate alarmists, despite what CBS debate moderators asserted, “can’t demonstrate that emissions are really having any effects on anything other than maybe they’re helping the planet get greener, which means there’s more life,” Junk Science’s Steve Milloy told PJ Media.
The CBS vice presidential debate moderators, Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan, tried to tie Hurricane Helene to “climate change” and pressured both Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz to endorse government climate action. But “the notion that this is a man-made or -enhanced or -caused weather event is just without a foundation,” Milloy explained.

Milloy, a Senior E&E Institute Legal Fellow and former Trump EPA Transition Team Member, insisted that there’s “been no increase in strong hurricanes. There’s been no increase in the frequency of hurricanes. The sort of storm that hit the Big Bend of Florida has happened before.” Indeed, as of Jan. 2023, data indicated major hurricanes were becoming less frequent.
In terms of “observational data,” Milloy continued, the theory that “emissions have somehow warmed the ocean water is completely faulty, because it’s physically impossible for the atmosphere to warm the ocean. So it’s impossible for emissions to warm the ocean.” While Helene “may be a record weather event … that’s not really going to be unexpected, because we’ve been through a pretty extraordinary past year, which is not explainable by emissions. It was an El Nino year. There are other factors.” Helene wasn’t caused or intensified by human actions.
