Lately I think I see two things:
1) A steady stream of evidence that there is no global warming, and it’s all fraud. Or at least that human contribution to any such trend is virtually nonexistent. Volcanoes matter. Your SUV doesn’t.
2) Authorities doubling down on the panic, announcing that last year was the warmest on record and that we are all going to die.
I consider this to be the prime topic for gaslighting.
Agree with your points 1 and 2.
Meteorologist Joe Bastardi has a theory that undersea volcano activity accounts for a large portion of ocean warming. It just so happens that dramatic ocean warming has been measured in the vicinity of the “ring of fire”, particularly in the western Pacific. The Tonga volcano by itself increased atmospheric moisture content by 10%. That is huge and will have a profound effect on temperature going forward in places like Siberia and the poles where it is very cold and dry. Saturation mixing ratio isn’t a suggestion or a theory. It’s measurable.
To me, they showed their hand when they changed the name from Man-made global warming to global warming, and then to climate change. Really, climate change? That goes on all the time. And the climate can get colder or warmer! How convenient!
Anyway, what they meant was the first name: Man-made global warming. They gave it up because they knew it was BS.
To be accurate, the empirical data have consistently shown a small gradual increase in the global average atmosphere since the end of the Little Ice Age. About a degree per century. That is not fraud, it is the seed of truth in a far greater fraud, which is the idea that such a small natural variation is an existential threat.
There is no evidence to support the alarmist claim of”catastrophic” manmade global warming. None. That part is purely political. The whole sham has survived because deliberately or otherwise, people on both sides have commingled the science with the politics. Separate the two domains, and the issues quickly become clear.
The plandemic was a field test which was so successful that we will see a continuous eddy of gaslighting on multiple topics to manipulate that which is becoming a growing bloc of the malleable population.
