Scientists and meteorologists on the front lines of the climate wars are testing a new strategy to get through to the skeptics and outright deniers.

They've only got another twelve years to make it happen. GO!

Yeah, we ran the heating system from late September to mid May last year. Things are getting so warm around here 60 miles north of NYC. LOL I can’t remember the last time that happened.

Climate change is natural. Those four words piss liberals off because, of course, it’s not political. Whatever is happening to the climate, it’s going to happen whether we want it to or not.

” Leading climate scientists and meteorologists are banking on a new strategy for talking about climate change: Take the politics out of it.”

If they added drama like “we’re gonna die tomorrow!” it would be more effective s/

How about falsifiable predictions and repeatable results? A bit old fashioned, grant you, but that’s sure to charm those stubborn skeptics.

The “Cult of Catastrophe” must have more followers or else.

So we’re going to do it anyway.

What’s the point, we’re all going to be killed by climate change in 12 years.

Just ask the bipolar manic jack@ss.

I am reminded of an old NANCY cartoon from fifty five or sixty years ago in which Aunt Frizy Ritz has Nancy look at the TV to find out the weather forecast was.

The weatherman uses such terms as would make a person’s head swim, like “isobars”, “negative tilted trough”, “occulated front”, “POSITIVE ISOTHERMAL VORTICITY ADVECTION”.

So Nancy goes next door and asks the old man there...”Mr Jones, what are your bunions saying about what tomorrow’s weather will be?”

If they want to get by my near instant antagonism towards their efforts, they will stop using the SEMANTICALLY LOADED descriptor of “DENIER” and its formulations. These proponents latched onto this word in order to equate and INSINUATE that non-proponents, of any stripe, are the same as the deniers of the Holocaust Genocide of WW2. Such a match is abhorrent and an insult to the survivors & families of the latter and is an intellectual disgrace in the comparison of the issues.

Non-proponents of anthropogenic climate change (or whatever is the ad hoc descriptor of the day) can be called disputers and skeptics. There is no prejudicial valuation attached to either nor a host of other synonyms. Get a thesaurus and have at it or admit to dishonesty and fraud.

When they switched from Gore-Bull Warming (because it wasn’t warming) to Climate Change, they seriously underestimated the number who know that the climate has always changed.

Just like any small time conman practicing on the sidewalk of the big city.

If the suckers catch on to the scheme, they don’t change the scheme, they just change their patter.

Take the politics out of it.

Take the heartland out of it and regulate the cities where the socialists have all the votes they need. 80% of pollution is generated on behalf of high spend city socialists so don't sweat the remaining 20%.
