Stance on Climate Change
Hage is a signatory to an open letter claiming that “’Climate change is real’ is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified. Global climate changes all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural ‘noise.’”6“Providing Insight Into Climate Change,” Friends of Science.
