The global warming edifice is beginning to crack.
Since well before the publication of Al Gore's Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit in 1992, we've been told we can "save the planet" by eliminating fossil fuels. Many environmentalists ride bikes to work, refuse plastic bags at stores, and vote for more solar and windmills, but is any of it "saving the planet"?
Bjorn Lomborg's book False Alarm exposes a host of false claims by environmentalists, including the notion that warming has been producing more storms, drought, and floods. In fact, all of these have remained at the same level over the past 100 years. As Lomborg writes, "deaths caused by climate-related disasters have declined precipitously over the past century" (p. 73) — not because of fewer storms, but because increasing wealth has made it possible to protect ourselves from climate events. The real danger lies in useless spending on climate change that will bankrupt societies and make it impossible for their people to protect themselves.
The global economy has now constructed an entire edifice atop the myth of catastrophic man-made global warming, and activists like Gore collectively have made billions if not trillions of dollars off their predictions of doom. Environmental activism became a lucrative business, in the form of non-profit revenues and income from corporate consulting.
Now under Biden, activists promise to transform the global economy at a cost of hundreds of trillions. An SEC proposed rule on "climate change reporting and control" would, if enacted, lower profits and productivity for large businesses and bankrupt smaller ones. And the SEC is just one among hundreds of federal agencies targeting fossil fuel emissions and exposing the private sector to huge reporting and legal costs.

It is how the left plans to destroy the free enterprise system. Control energy use and choke off private companies.
There is an innate belief in apocalypse.
They don’t believe the Bible anymore so they believe a novel apocalyptic scenario.
I don’t think the elites believe in the apocalyptic scenario; Obama bought a beach house for millions. Do you think he really believes a rising ocean is going to swallow his investment?
They don’t give up their limos or jets, or the private homes they buy for themselves but would deny us. No, they don’t believe a word of it.
“Global warming”/”climate change” is pushed because as the West has sent its jobs to Asia, the rising middle classes there will want the same trappings of middle-class life previously enjoyed in the West - specifically private homes, automobiles, and children. The 1%ers see no other way to head this off than to deprive the Western middle classes of those things - that is their goal.
Global cooling hysteria and gloom and doom BS during the 70s.
Global warming hysteria and gloom and doom BS from the 80s till the enviro-idiots changed such to global climate change hysteria and gloom and doom we are currently experiencing.
Idiocy is about as real as those who stand on street corners holding up ‘The End is Nigh!’ signs, which has been ongoing for a millennia plus.
I’m talking about the people that actually believe it.
You are right that it did replace religion - and the believers really think that separating their recyclables will offset their otherwise-immoral lifestyles in the larger scheme of things.
I hear cohabitating childless “couples” describe how they are saving the world by adopting a puppy and putting up a birdfeeder...
CO2 is only .04% of the total atmosphere on this planet and humans are responsible for only .05% of that. That's so insignificant that it shouldn't even be a topic of discussion......
The 1%ers also know the only way the left won’t harangue and harass them, is if they stay on the climate change bus.
No, they FUND that part of the left - they control it.
“It is how the left plans to destroy the free enterprise system. Control energy use and choke off private companies.”
Russia makes that difficult when he won’t listen to them...hence the Ukraine War to ‘Weaken Russia’ and the US plan to then ‘decolonize Russia’ by breaking it up:

We’ll see who wins, the Globalists so that they can break up Russia and thus lock-down their energy, or the Russians.

The oligarchs don’t care a whit about climate or the earth. They want to reduce carbon (the non-compliant serfs) and turn the compliant serf class into the servant class to serve the ruler’s needs.
They need to start by taking the western world, in particular the USA, down a peg or two.
deaths caused by climate-related disasters have declined precipitously over the past century”
/\
Floods used to kill many until the resivour and hydroelectric dams were built.
And now the greenies have forced pissing the resivours dry ‘ for endangered species” and are tearing dams out.
They are out to destroy our nation.
Period.
Control their food and their needs you control them for ever.
Lenin and Stalin smile
