<p>“If you make your graph tall enough and you cherry-pick a particular period of time, you can make anything look scary. It’s really what they don’t show you,” says longtime environmental activist Michael Shellenberger.</p> <p>U.N.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report? When it comes to heat waves, forest fires, and sea-level rise, what are journalists today often not telling us?</p> <p>Shellenberger is the founder and president of the nonprofit Environmental Progress and the author of “Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Thank you American Hartford Gold for sponsoring American Thought Leaders.</p> <p dir="ltr">There are still companies like American Hartford Gold, that value freedom of speech and honest discourse—and are sponsoring shows like ours.</p> <p dir="ltr">With inflation on the rise, investing in gold is another option to diversify your assets.
