But there is no solid causal that points to "environmental protections" having any impact to weather (what you get) or climate (what you want). In fact if you read the book Unsettled that's actually a HUGE part of the debate.
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe.
Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths:
Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970
Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions
There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity
Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
