According to NBC News, this “once-in-a-lifetime blizzard,” also called a bomb cyclone, that is currently wreaking havoc across America has claimed the lives of at least 57 Americans, some of whom froze to death. [1] And the so-called climate change crisis, defined as the planet’s warming as a result of the use of fossil fuels, has yet to claim its first victim in the United States.
The storm that hit the United States was brought on by a sudden drop in temperature and powerful winds, which made it a terrible storm. Despite the fact that this storm system arrived quickly, there were numerous warnings telling people to stay indoors. Unfortunately, a large portion of the death toll was caused by people who ignored the warning and did not take the necessary precautions due to the persistent promotion of the idea that our planet is warming.
What became of the message that cold kills far more people than heat? Minus 50 degrees, frostbite, hypothermia, black ice on the roads, hurricane-force winds, and a distracted public that believes our world is going to be destroyed because of global warming are a recipe for disaster and death. What a terrible way to die—frozen to death—and there was nothing you could do to prevent it because no one told us to prepare for the possibility of death by winter freezing. The radical climate change message is dangerous, and we are seeing the consequences during the deep freeze gripping our nation.
Fossil Fuel Elimination – Our World Has Gone Mad
One thing that is clear as a result of the recent bomb cyclone is that if it weren’t for low-cost and reliable fossil fuels, a lot more deaths would occur. It is not clean, green energy that is saving lives in this arctic blizzard that is sweeping across the country; it is fossil fuels.
More people would have perished while attempting to recharge their electric vehicles if all residents of the blizzard-affected areas had electric vehicles. Activists with no real insight, however, tell us that we must abandon fossil fuel sources and switch to solar power instead. How are solar panels covered in ice going to help you in these subzero temperatures? They can’t.
• What do you think keeps people alive in minus 50°F temperatures when there is no electricity? It’s not green energy. It is the gas-powered generators that are saving people.
• With no supplies in many communities, who is keeping the people alive? It’s the truckers making deliveries with their diesel-powered vehicles. Everything is delivered by trucks. Thank God for the truck drivers who are saving lives.
• It’s the gas-powered snow plows that are running 24 hours a day that are making it possible for these affected communities to survive. Life-saving supplies are able to be brought in because the roads are being cleared.
Think how much worse it would be if our nation ran on green energy. So many more lives would be lost. Imagine if the snow plows, fire engines, ambulances, and emergency vehicles, including the rescue teams that are riding snowmobiles, had to use battery-operated power. There would be no way to recharge them.
It’s insane what many of these politicians are thinking. They want to eliminate fossil fuels. No, we should thank God for the reliability of fossil fuels and other alternative heat sources, such as wood stoves, kerosene heaters, and fireplaces, that are keeping people warm and saving lives.
If everyone was forced to have electric vehicles or solar panels, we would be seeing record-breaking deaths of people freezing in their vehicles and homes. And still, we have out-of-touch Marxist politicians who will go on about man-made climate change, demanding that we destroy our economies by eliminating natural gas, propane, and fossil fuels.
Embrace Common Sense, not the Climate Hysteria
Instead of educating people about how to prepare for these winter storm conditions, our politicians are too busy propagating gender ideology, the elimination of plastic straws, and the end of fossil fuels. How has this message prepared people for these arctic blizzards? It hasn’t. Instead, the only message that could have prevented fatalities in the current crisis is to urge people to stock up on gas-powered generators, canned goods, bottled water, dry goods, heat-retaining blankets, candles, and first aid kits.
No one should have to freeze to death. Your car’s temperature can be kept above freezing with just one candle. People wouldn’t have lost as many lives if they were only told how to get ready for blizzards. The issue is that these tragedies and fatalities are being caused in part by the climate ideology, which claims that the world is warming up and that soon we might not even know what snow is. It is amazing how the ideology surrounding climate change will cause people to ignore the fundamentals of keeping emergency supplies in both their homes and their vehicles during cold weather.
Neglecting the Warnings
Stay inside during a snowstorm. It is not worth risking your life in order to benefit from holiday sales. Calling 911 doesn’t guarantee that help will arrive if you become stuck in the ice. Emergency services might be rescuing people everywhere and putting you on a waiting list while they do so. You might find yourself on your own in the end. That is what happened, and people froze to death in the vehicles.
Why don’t people heed warnings? This winter storm was well publicized; why were people out in it? It’s just part of human nature to disregard warnings, including God’s. People were advised that this storm was coming and that they should not go out in these conditions.
Where is all this warming we keep hearing about when it is claimed that global warming is the biggest threat to our planet? The warm winters that the globalists predicted are nowhere to be found. Evidently, they are mistaken once more.
If there ever was a time when the nation failed to protect its citizens, this is it. The climate change hysteria is responsible in part for the deaths during this 2022 winter storm. We can’t trust disingenuous politicians who are using the so-called climate crisis to push a political agenda and charge a carbon tax on the people so that they can combat global warming. I believe that this 2022 winter storm that is being called a once-in-a-lifetime blizzard will demonstrate that the CO2 hoax is one of the biggest scams ever played on humanity.

Dangerous policies have consequences. And what a shame that the mayor of New York was vacationing in the Caribbean while people were freezing to death.
Science has become too politicized, just like everything else.
