Christian Aid brazenly claim hurricanes will get immensely worse because of “climate breakdown” Yet, the best study shows global hurricane costs 0.04% of global GDP today. In 2100, with stronger hurricanes bc climate change, cost will be *lower*: 0.02% https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate1357 …pic.twitter.com/gJ0pRyHxLt

Everything will not go to hell, with “catastrophic warming” making 2018 seem insignificant. Nobel Nordhaus, shows total cost of climate might hit 2-4% of GDP by 2100, when the average person in the developing world will be 400% to 1,000% richer https://www.nber.org/reporter/2017number3/nordhaus.html …pic.twitter.com/8PyMFqIRaT

Most ironically, Christian Aid, claims to help the world’s poor Yet, they just include one damaging weather event from the developing world, supposedly happening because of climate change: The floods in Kerala. The one problem: not caused by climate http://www.geosocindia.org/index.php/jgsi/article/view/137443 …pic.twitter.com/xi5oJZ3qaa

This emphasizes the problem with the Christian Aid’s approach to helping the poor world Sure, blaming climate sells more t-shirts in the west But it doesn’t help with the real issues causing the Kerala floods like land use change, encroachment of flood plains etc.pic.twitter.com/bCKvhEjxHk

Christian Aid is asking the world to focus on climate, when the world’s poor tell us that is is their *least* important issue From the UN survey of top priorities: education, health, jobs, no corruption and food Dead last: climate http://data.myworld2015.org pic.twitter.com/FUlScAbRZe

In an era of clicktivism, Christian Aid even suggest that the solution to the climate problem is more promises Really? The world needs more leaders making grand promises of future CO₂ reductions that somehow never seem to happen?pic.twitter.com/bddeRe9jRO

The solution to climate change is to focus not on more broken promises, but invest dramatically more in green energy innovation. If we can make green energy cheaper than fossil fuels, we’ll fix climate, otherwise we won’t https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/climate-change-self-defeating-alarmism-by-bjorn-lomborg-2018-12 …

The BBC ought to know better than to publish such fake news pablum It even allows the ever alarmist Mann to claim that we’re now seeing unprecedented superstorms, when the data clearly shows there is plenty of precedence http://policlimate.com/tropical/ pic.twitter.com/VqLYzhsaK6

Sensationalizing climate impacts with shoddy costs helps no one We need smart policies of green energy R&D to fix climate, not more empty promises The world’s poor need help with so many other issues first: what they need most and where we can help mosthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prrbooi9PNw …
