The wheels are coming off the Good Ship Climate Change, and crop yields from Wind Farms are expected to be low once again this year.
The sky continues not to fall, and predictions that Fort Bragg soon will be submerged beneath 16 feet of melted igloos are, once again, predicted to be predictably wrong.
Bill Gates is among the latest (and once among the loudest) of the Climate Change cheerleaders to commit apostasy; more to come. The gates are open, word is out, and the longest running hoax of our time is being shredded.
The entire climate change industry is, in fact, facing an existential crisis. If drastic steps are not taken immediately it’s certain to bring about social and economic horrors: lower gasoline prices, construction of nuclear power plants and curtailment of federal government mandates on the kind of car you are permitted to own. “Journalists” and columnists will be forced to shelve their climate stories along with the ones on the Russian collusion hoax and all the stories on Joe Biden being fit as a fiddle and sharp as a tack.
Also: unemployment checks for Michael Moore, Bill McKibben, Greta Thunberg and Al Gore.
It never made sense, in the same way it never made sense men could literally become women by donning a dress and telling nearby morons that He is now She. Or that Lives Mattered based on skin color.
Or that diverse viewpoints should be censored, which was the reality for opinions ruled unacceptable by climax czars on every campus and at every major media outlet.
And Global Warming never made sense in its own day-to-day operations. None of the hot predictions ever materialized.
How did all the (supposedly) brightest minds at universities and other government employment agencies go astray in their full-throated endorsements of Global Cooling? (next, Global Warming, then Climate Change.) How could several decades of “science” have tumbled into a face-plant in so inglorious a cul-de-sac?
Maybe it turned sour when it was decided the so-called “science” was settled and no further discussion, opinion or research need be considered. The New York Times, when it banned contrary theories about future climate shenanigans, led the way to closed minds on climate discourse since the 1990s.
The science-y experts had used computers, you see, that produced precise readings of how climate would manifest in coming months, years, decades and forever, despite these same experts being unable to tell us whether or not it would snow on December 15th. Or who will win the Super Bowl.
No one was allowed to dispute these fanciful ‘facts” nor the opinions of Los Climatistas when it came to guarantees of melting snowcaps, rising tides and a dismal future for you, me and spotted owls. Alternate viewpoints, they said, came from slow-witted sorts who didn’t work in important government and university labs, in and among the mooing herds in the science chorus.
In the parallel world of realistic evaluations, four years ago more than 1300 scientists, including 300 in the USA, signed off on a detailed statement refuting the climate change narrative; our friends in major media outlets ignored the story. But when President Lobotomy told us climate change was a greater threat to humanity than atomic warfare it was solemnly reported by, yes, the New York Times.
Ten years ago the Paris Accords were hailed as the biggest world news since the Magna Carta. They mandated limits on everything, all to save the delicate planet, if it isn’t already too late and if we spend all our money right now! Or next week by the latest. Today, those agreements everyone went dizzy over are mostly ignored.
Americans have been lied to for so long, the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf needs re-imagining: Al Gore staggering about the village shouting “Real big catastrophic climate emergency again today!”
We recall Gore’s apocalyptic and dishonest film “An Inconvenient Truth” that promised pterodactyls dying on melting sand dunes and frozen boiled whales in Lake Mendocino. Congenital liar Bill McKibben (hero to environuts everywhere) fudged climate statistics with “hockey stick” adjustments and 8-year old Greta scolded farmers in Nebraska for declining to plow fields with oxen.
I’m predicting the Global-Cooling-Global-Warming-Climate-Change game has entered its Sudden Death overtime period. Soon cheerleaders and propagandists from Big Media will quietly turn down the volume and dial back coverage of imaginary catastrophes.
The noise will die down, much the way delirium over safe spaces, Trump-is-Hitler, proper pronoun usage, Me Too! and yodeling have gone quiet.
Finally, TWK can quit wearing his propellor powered beanie and Tom Hine can resume burning tires in his back yard.
Lots of exaggeration in an attempt to mask the truth; the climate IS changing and human activity is the cause. The science is clear on this point.
Weather and climate-related disasters will get worse before they get better. And they will only get better if we take more concerted action to counter climate change now.
What is certain is the climate is warming. What is uncertaIn is the degree humans are contributing to the warming. A good book to read on the subject is “Unsettled?” by Steven Koonin. Koonin understands accepted scientific standards, data, and computer models as well anyone does. His critique breaks down the government Climate Change narrative into what meets accepted scientific standards, and what fails to do so. The only response I have read challenging his book has consisted of logical fallacies.
