“There were one quarter the number of human beings on the planet in 1930, but there were 28 times more deaths caused by climate and natural disasters than today. This was because the weather then was more extreme than now, and we lacked the early warnings we get today when extreme weather is approaching.”
That quote from Joe Bastardi should put it all into context for those who still believe the sky is falling. Climate Change or Global Warming, whatever you prefer to call it, is nothing more than a war on weather!
Joe Bastardi is a meteorologist who, as Chief Forecaster for WeatherBELL, must be right far more often than your local TV weatherman. With boundless energy and enthusiasm, as well as 45 years of experience putting his knowledge on the line, Bastardi has no qualms about contesting political correctness on climate change. This is because he is paid to forecast the weather by companies whose very economic futures depend on it. Bastardi, who just published a new book titled The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony Climate War, joins program hosts Dr. Jay Lehr and Tom Harris this week to discuss what really drives weather.
As shown by the photo on the cover of his new book, Bastardi is also an amateur bodybuilder, having won the National Amateur Bodybuilders Association American Championships. At 66, he is a sterling example of how to stay fit as we age.
Join Dr. Jay Lehr, Tom Harris, and guest superstar meteorologist Joe Bastardi in this week’s episode of The Other Side of the Story to learn how, as Bastardi puts it: “Nature is in control, not man and hurricanes are a way of showing that. Don’t be fooled when they’re weaponized!”
