I keep asking, if global warming is real, why do they keep lying about it? Cui bono?

The media sets to work on the dupes, and the NYT leads the way
Notwithstanding the fact that Florida has been hit periodically by hurricanes throughout recorded history,[the media and Democrtas] blame this one on global warming. The New York Times, which exists to mislead its readers, was particularly dishonest, as is explained at Watts Up With That. The Times claims that severe hurricanes have been increasing since 1980:
But why start the chart in 1980? CO2 has been added to the atmosphere since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. So what is special about 1980? This chart shows severe hurricanes that have hit the U.S., not since 1980, but since 1860. You can easily see the trick the Times played:
Global warming fanatics do this all the time. They begin a chart at the time when a phenomenon (hurricanes, wildfires, whatever) happens to be at its lowest point, and pretend that any random uptick from that point is a climate change trend. In fact, the long-term trend for severe hurricanes is flat or downward.
There’s no statistical or physical reason to produce a chart or data analysis of only Atlantic hurricanes starting in 1970 or 1980.
We have data records going back to the 19th century, with reasonable reliability back to 1945, especially with landfalls.
Let’s consult the leading authority on Atlantic hurricane research: NOAA.
They have assembled numerous task forces, assessments, and workshops to reach a consensus on Atlantic hurricanes and climate change.
A highly detailed website is here:

There is no strong evidence of century scale increasing trends in:
U.S. landfalling hurricanes, frequency of hurricanes or major hurricanes, or the proportion of hurricanes that reach major hurricane intensity.

This conclusion is based upon a research paper in Nature from Summer 2021 from the leading climate scientists in the entire field.
Global warming is the COVID fraud writ large: While COVID was used to temporarily shut down the world’s economy and pave the way for the Great Reset, the Global Warmists are attempting to shut down western civilization permanently. We’d do well to ask why.
