In August, The Hill, a climate-change-embracing publication, published an article by Glenn C. Altschuler, insisting that “Climate Deniers Are Entitled To Their Own Opinions But Not Their Own Facts.” When it comes to facts, though, who is really advancing his own facts about what’s going on with the Earth’s climate?
The article promises a brief summary of facts about climate change and its effect on the lives and livelihoods of all Americans.” Below, I’ve taken each of Altschuler’s “facts” and exposed them to actual facts.
CLAIM:
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
2023 is likely to be the hottest year on record, and possibly the hottest in 100,000 years.
To legitimatize this claim, the author states:
This summer, the temperature in Phoenix topped 110 degrees for 31 consecutive days, and failed to drop below 90 degrees for 16 consecutive days.
FACT:
Temperatures are not climate. The 1930s—long before global warming was dreamed up—registered some of the hottest temperatures on record. This headline is from 1934:
AMERICAN DROUGHT – DESTRUCTION OF CATTLE – HEAVY HUMAN DEATH TOLL
Texas cowboys are reportedly shooting 1,000 head of cattle daily to prevent sufferings from thirst.
And this describes events in Nebraska in 1934:

However, in Adams County, it isn’t the economic depression that stands out in the memories of those who lived through 1934, but the drought, dust storms and heat.
The drought began in 1933 with Nebraska’s driest year in 57 years … For 18 consecutive days from July 8 through July 25, temperatures over 100 degrees were recorded. (Emphasis added.)
Meanwhile, in the lead-up to this past July, NOAA predicted that, in large swaths of the U.S., below-normal temperatures would overshadow the areas of above-normal temperatures.
CLAIM:
“Rising temperatures, early snowpack melt and a longer dry season result in more frequent, severe and longer droughts.”
FACT:
“Early snowpack melt”? Really? That was one of the doomsday predictions from 2001: “Snows of Kilimanjaro to vanish by 2020. Instead,
What has been described as a “cold dagger” struck into the heart of Europe in late July 2023. Also during late July 2023 there was a report of unusual snowfall in the Alps.
