Here’s something I don’t understand. “Climate change” used to be “global warming.” For decades, we were told: “The earth is warming. Catastrophe is coming, and it’s imminent. The science says so. Al Gore says so. It’s all man’s fault, and we must have a government-run economy, and outlaw fossil fuels, in order to survive.”
Then, all of a sudden and with no explanation, “global warming” became “climate change.” It’s the same thing. “Government-run economy, unaffordable electric cars mandated by 2030, no more gas stoves, no gas water heaters, etc.”
How do we know? “The science says so.” Where do we get the science? “From the government, of course — who else can be trusted?” What about the scientists who challenge the data or the reasoning? “You may not hear from them. They’re racists.” Their funding is cut off, and their YouTube accounts suspended.
We were told the winters would get warmer but, if anything, the winters are getting colder. Hard data from scientists with no ties to the government point out evidence that we’re heading toward another Ice Age, if anything. It’s impossible to know for sure, because these things happen very, very slowly. It’s incredibly naive and self-centered of us to think it’s all happening RIGHT NOW, at once.
It would be kind of like Chicken Little saying, “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” Then all of a sudden — the sky WASN’T falling. Instead it became, “The earth is turning upside down, the earth is turning upside down!” But if they were wrong the first time, why should we believe them this time? Why should we ever have believed them at all?
When I hear the words, “Climate change,” I literally hear the phrase: “Weep, and repent.” These people are not worried about climate change. Their science is no more scientific than what we saw in 2020-2022 with COVID.
What they’re really after is human production, human achievement, life on earth as sustainable for human beings. These are the things they loathe, fear and despair. What they really seek to destroy is human happiness.
