If anybody has noticed that the hysteria surrounding Global Warming Climate Cooling Change© is ratcheting up, you’re not alone. However, the reasons for this increased hysteria — fueled by the spate of summer heatwaves* consuming Yurp and Murka alike — are not surprising. Why? Because government and especially the Marxist wing thereof constantly affirm the wisdom of H.L. Mencken:
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
Now that the dreaded Covid has essentially subsided into a “seasonal flu” category, this eco-nonsense has perforce had to take its place:
There are a lot of religions on this planet, but none so demanding of one’s faith as the Church of Climate Change. It’s a cult whose message is so pervasive in our culture that many take it at its word that mankind is indeed changing the climate of the Earth, but once you start looking at the data you can see pretty quickly that a lot of its claims are based on half-truths or full-on lies.
The dirty secret about the Church of Climate Change is that all things considered, it’s a suicide cult. It wants humanity to die off and stop having so many children. All this to, ironically, save you from yourselves.
Moreover, its goal is to get you to give up on human advancements and regress back to a time when humanity worked with lesser technologies and fewer rights. It wants you to hand power to them, not only in the government but personal freedoms such as your ability to travel freely and eat what you want. It wants to regulate businesses into obeying rules that would cripple and restrict them.
As Jeffrey Tucker points out in the Epoch Times, the media is currently using the fear-inducing models they created for COVID-19 to push the climate change scam. There are orange and red “tracking maps” on major networks following big heat increases in the same way they would highlight COVID-19 outbreaks.
Executive summary: don’t believe the hysteria, especially because the media is using that to attract eyeballs. That it happens to coincide with the totalitarians’ aims is in itself no coincidence.
However, there are at least a few signs that this nonsense is finally being recognized for the foolishness that it is — not by us, the public, but by government officials. Good grief, even squishy BritPM Rishi Sunak is snapping back:
He added: ‘If you or others think that the answer to climate change is getting people to ban everything… I think that’s the absolutely the wrong approach.’
Yeah duh, Rishi old man; welcome to our party.
But if there’s one thing we can be certain of, it’s that climate change hysteria is not going to abate, but get more frantic.
*Note that there’s a perfectly good reason for said heatwaves, but blame can’t be laid at the door of airliners, SUVs or Republicans so it’s being ignored by the media:
In the study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, Millán and his colleagues estimate that the Tonga eruption sent around 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – equal to 10% of the water already present in that atmospheric layer.
Oh.
Maybe we should ban volcanoes. What the hell, it makes as much sense (and as much chance of success) as any of the other initiatives proposed by the Greens.
Climate hysteria is a 100% leftist project, therefore I, and millions of others, reflexively recoil from it. This is a healthy reflex, which can and should be applied to every single programmatic of the left.
Spend a few minutes drooling over a topographical global map.
It’s the height of arrogance to insist mere human smears on portions of the planet are affecting it’s change to the detriment of all.
Gaia was here billions of years BEFORE humans and will be here for billions of years after them.
The loudest climate grifters are the most successfully criminal ones.
Take Gore for example.
If Leftists were shot upon the opening of their mouths, we would be rid of their hysteria, and the population would be reduced to some degree.
I’m trying to find fault with your assertion, and I’m having a little difficulty…
only so much ammunition can be produced and whacking commies could cut into our recreation ammunition supplies
There just aren’t enough ropes and lamp poles.
Hold on there, Citizen! How do you know until you try?
I do my best to ignore the climate change hysteria. Some days are cold so I wear a wool shirt or grab a sweater. Other days are hot so it’s shorts and a t shirt unless I’m going into town. I remember when the problems were Global cooling and the coming ice age, acid rain of the 80s, then Global warming and now it’s Global Climate Change because they can’t figure out if the planet is cooling or warming. They also claim that the sea level is rising yet the wealthy still buy ocean front property that is not in Colorado.
There is a certain value to the environmental movement such as dispose of waste appropriately, protect the clean water supply and such but that once rational movement has been infiltrated by communists who seek nothing more than to destroy human prosperity brought to us by the free market enterprise system.
JQ
The problem is that WE can ignore the hysteria all we want, but it’s the media and politicians who matter. If THEY buy into this bullshit, then sooner or later the hysteria becomes the rationale and basis for a bunch of horrible fucking laws.
Witness gun control.
I suggest we start serving these loudmouthed imbeciles a heaping helping of knuckle sandwiches
