Climate, Science, Panic, Etc

Dr. "Richard Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Science at MIT, says global warming fear isn't driven by data, but by money and control. He recently told the Daily Mail that politicians saw climate policy as a multi-trillion dollar opportunity to reshape industries, to push globalization. The public was fed panic over a minuscule temperature change that means almost nothing. Lindzen calculates that even a doubling of CO2 would warm the planet by only half a degree. He argues nature stabilizes, not amplifies, climate swings, and that today's warmth and CO2 levels actually help plants grow and expand farmland. "People are finally starting to question this," he said. "It'll be an embarrassment to our era.""

"How do I know that the climate *crisis* is a scam? Here are five reasons: 

 1️⃣ None of the politicians, celebrities, or “scientists” yammering about it have altered their lifestyles an inch. If they opted to forgo using O&G products, then I’d take them seriously. Actions speak louder than words. 

2️⃣ Climate conferences aren’t being held virtually on Zoom using their large meeting extensions. It’s doable, they just choose not to. They like to fly overseas to lecture us about reducing our “carbon footprint” all the while they do nothing to lower their own. 

3️⃣ Wealthier alarmists are still living on or buying oceanfront property. If ocean levels were really rising at a catastrophic rate (as opposed to the gradual increase that is actually occurring), then they would move inland and banks would not approve loans. 

4️⃣ Alarmists rarely, if ever criticize China and India, and they always come up with all sorts of wonderful excuses as to why those nations get a free pass to continue emitting so-called “carbon pollution.” 

5️⃣ The only solutions they offer involve increased governmental power. Higher taxes. EV mandates. Restrictions or bans on the energy sectors they don’t like. 

And, as an added bonus, no real-world data proves, much less suggests that we are facing an “existential crisis.” Even the IPCC doesn’t use such rhetoric because it isn’t based on science. I don’t deny that climate change exists. It always has. And, I don’t even deny that at least some of the increase in temperatures is anthropogenic. But I just don’t care because it isn’t that big of a deal. Extreme weather cannot be taxed away. Our vulnerability will continue to increase so long as we build in disaster-prone areas. Politicians cannot take our wallets and set a thermostat on the planet."
