Snowy Colorado; Obfuscation At The Hill; Nothing To See Here

Snow is making headlines across Colorado peaks as the first flakes of the season blow in.
Obfuscation At The Hill
  • The Hill recently reported 2,325 heat-related deaths in 2023 and suggested that extreme heat be classified a “major disaster” event. While the headline sounds alarming, these deaths represent only 0.07% of the 3.3 million U.S. deaths annually.
  • Despite this small percentage, the media continues their scary fire and brimstone rhetoric, failing to point out that cold-related deaths outnumber heat-related deaths by 15 to 1 in the U.S., yet there are no calls for a similar “major disaster” classification.
  • How can global warming be labeled a “crisis” when heat-related fatalities are so small?...
