Mr. Speaker, the Obama administration recently released a report that tried to tie extreme weather events to climate change. This is the administration's latest effort to scare the public into supporting its radical climate agenda. The report ignores science in order to justify the administration's dire predictions. For example, the administration's report says that hurricanes are projected to increase. But hurricanes have not increased in intensity, frequency, or damage since 1900. The same can be said for almost all other extreme weather events. The administration continues to incite fear so that Americans will wrongly believe that extreme climate events are due to climate change, but the administration should not push costly climate regulations on Americans when there is no good reason for them to do so. ____________________
