Even Bill Gates is backtracking — the air’s gone out of the climate-crisis balloon
New York Post ^ | Sep. 25, 2023 | Glenn H. Reynolds

Has the air gone out of the “climate crisis” balloon?

It’s starting to look like it. Some other causes du jour are looking limp lately, too.

Oh, hysteria is still out there. In Boston this month, I passed a church where the door bore a lurid poster reading “DUE TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS, WORSHIP IN SANCTUARY 9-17-23 CANCELED.”

If it were really a global crisis, wouldn’t you want to be praying?

...

While the soldiers of God had fled the scene in advance, the armies of Mammon were out in force on the Boston Common, in the form of a massive cannabis fair. Say what you will about the stoners, they’re not prone to panic or overthinking

...

But this seems actually a case of closing church so parishioners could go to New York to “Join us in the March to End Fossil Fuels,” which is even more amusing, since traveling uses a lot more fossil fuels than staying in Boston and praying for an end to fossil fuels, which would be at least as effective.

Bill Gates, however, is pumping the brakes on climate panic.

...

he observed that heavy-handed policies won’t work: “If you try to do climate brute force, you will get people who say, ‘I like climate but I don’t want to bear that cost and reduce my standard of living.’”

As Gates noted, many of these people are in middle-income countries, like China and India, that are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions today and whose emissions (unlike those of the United States) have been growing.

...

Gates softening his tone; it feels as if climate outrage has passed its sell-by date.

"What’s their next Scam ?"

I predict some type of water crisis, they are probably in the lab working on a poison to put in the water that only they will have the antidote for

or maybe a nuclear bomb storm and blame it on Russia

Gates belongs in prison for racketeering where he can be safely stored behind bars

It’s a hoax. We are still in an ice age and CO2 is a plant nutrient and not a pollutant.

I can see why he gave up. Methane levels have gone vertical. Last time that happened was just before the start of the last ice age, 2.5 mil years ago. Ice melted globally and ocean levels rose 100’ more than present within a few hundred years. Then CO2 levels crashed due to over active biosphere then... Malenkovic cycles, etc. = Ice.

“Every “crisis” requires lots of money and bureaucracy”

Yes, not just lots of money, but lots of money FLOWING to the pols and unscrupulous exploiters. Racism is a billion dollar “industry.” Climate is a multi-hundred billion dollar “industry.” All of our money flows to groups who produce nothing of value, but they sop up huge amounts of money to enrich themselves.

Of course, “defense” is a multitrilion dollar industry that puts all of those wannabes to shame.

It’s a balmy 65° here in La Jolla, going up to 71°. If this is global warming, I’ll take it.

If there was a major climate crisis on a global scale, it would be out of our hands to correct. Chances are it would be the sun, which is the biggest factor in the earth’s climate, apart from our planetary orbit, which we despite science fiction, cannot do anything about either.

The transcrap agenda has redpilled a lot of people who didn’t really pay attention to climate propaganda before.

But having realized how FOS the powers that be are on the transcrap, the are now questioning the climate crap because it’s the same people pushing both ideologies.
