Douglas Murray scolds Biden and Democrats for politicizing deadly tornado to advance climate change agenda
In November, Biden claimed climate change is 'an existential threat to human existence as we know it'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Author Douglas Murray accused President Biden on Monday of politicizing the deadly tornadoes to advance his far-left climate agenda as Democrats rushed to cast blame for the devastating storm.
"Natural disasters now are used by Democrats and people on the climate left in particular as just another opportunity to push a particular political ideology," Murray told "Fox News Primetime" host Will Cain.
BIDEN USES TORNADO TRAGEDY TO PUSH CLIMATE AGENDA

"All I know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of the warming of the planet and climate change," Biden said. "The specific impact on these specific storms, I can't say at this point."
Murray rejected the implied correlation, citing a recent article from the Economist Magazine that proves that the data shows "no significant increase no change in the number of tornadoes affecting the United States in recent decades."

In November, Biden claimed climate change is "an existential threat to human existence as we know it" at the United Nations' COP26 conference and apologized for former President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.
