ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (October 22, 2019) – Everyone likes a good scare at Halloween, and when it comes to the climate, environmental activists have tried their best to frighten the world into taking radical, economy-killing action to prevent catastrophe.
Turns out, however, that all those scares were about as true as a spooky story told by a campfire at night. 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 will release one video a day – in the 10 days between Tuesday, October 22 and Halloween – debunking some of the most popular climate scares pushed by radical environmentalists over the decades.
See the playlist at this link for a new video every morning from October 22 to October 31. First up: Halloween Climate Scare #10: Al Gore Says the Polar Ice Cap Will Disappear by 2013.
The scares for the videos were picked by staffers at Heartland, as well as our friends at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and the Energy & Environment Legal Foundation.
