The short, sharable videos, debunk some of the biggest phony climate scares meant to spook kids and adults, alike
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (October 31, 2019) – For environmental activists, every day is Halloween as they try to scare children about supposed catastrophes that will soon befall the earth due to climate change. They also try to frighten politicians in the United States and around the world into taking radical, economy-killing action to “stop” global warming.
But like most spooky stories told around Halloween, those climate scares turn out to be tall tales. From the supposed polar bear population crisis, to children never experiencing snow, to coastal cities being uninhabitable, one scare after another has proven false.
The Heartland Institute has released 10 videos for Halloween that debunk some of the most-popular climate scares pushed by radical environmentalists over the decades.
See the playlist at this link for the 10 videos that were released one per day for the last 10 days leading up to Halloween.#10: Al Gore Says the Polar Ice Cap Will Disappear by 2013
