Climate change fanatics achieve real political and economic goals by advancing a narrative they know isn’t true but that suits their desires.
In combating the global warming (aka, climate change) movement, we fail to understand that the radical left today lives in a value-relative phenomenology shaped by a mixture of postmodernism blended with neo-Marxism. It misses the mark merely to refute the hoax science behind the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s decision to eliminate the use of hydrocarbon fuels.
The sad truth is that government-funded climate scientists know CO2 is not the control knob of Earth’s temperature. The postmodernist mind lives in the John Lennon world where “reimagining” is required to advance us into their carbon-free utopia. In this bizarre world, post-modernism rejects the Enlightenment’s confidence in a fact-based, rule-driven reality anchored by scientific proof that overrides subjective desires. To them, reality is a “language game” (in Wittgenstein’s terms) or, as they say, a “narrative.”
In his 2006 DVD and book An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore treated us to many upcoming climate disasters, establishing a precedent holding that hysterically predicting those disasters is sufficient to force governments to abandon hydrocarbon fuels. Michael Mann fabricated the “hockey stick theory” [i.e., the fallacious claim that global temperatures rose dramatically only after the dawn of the industrial age] on similar climate fearmongering.
In 2008, Mann published Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming, a beautifully illustrated book of every imaginable IPCC-conjured climate disaster. Two years later, in The Hockey Stick Illusion, Climategate and the Corruption of Science, A.W. Montford debunked it all.

The goal has always been government control of the means of production even before it was “Global Cooling”.

For years, the IPCC claimed there was NO SCENARIO where climate change posed an Existential threat.

Radical climate change is not a reality. The earth is a huge heat sink, gaining in warmth only very slowly, and radiating away that warmth at about the same rate as it is gained on a daily basis.
And the great moderator on this homeostasis the earth has achieved is - water. Water in all its forms, as the liquid, as the solid ice, and the gaseous water vapor, has two very interesting and highly unique properties. One is that there is a “triple point” at which the H2O molecule can exist simultaneously as a liquid, a solid, and a gas at the same time, the difference being the amount of heat energy necessary to transform from one phase to another.
The second is the actual transformation from one state of matter to another. To change one gram of ice to water requires 80 calories per gram, the “latent heat”. To change one gram of water to one gram of water vapor, or steam, requires 540 calories per gram, and vastly increases the volume necessary to contain that gram of water vapor, the “heat of vaporization”.
This heat has to come from somewhere and it has to go somewhere, as the process reverses. Therefore the temperature of the earth as a whole stays within a very narrow range within what is known as the “biosphere” the portion of the surface of the earth where life is possible, including the lower strata of the atmosphere and the upper strata of the oceans covering much of the surface of the earth.
The effect of carbon dioxide on this cycle is miniscule, negligible for any computations, and has a completely different function in the life cycle anyway. Without carbon dioxide, we would not have free oxygen in our atmosphere, and life everywhere would perish. It is impossible to remove much CO2 from the atmosphere, and total removal would be a fool’s errand at best, a death sentence to virtually all life in its worst.
Current Warmist dogma goes something like this: “Even though the issue was hyped and the science fudged wasn’t it for a good cause? Even if there is only a small possibility of these things happening isn’t thatreason enough for us to enslave humanity?” — Captain Compassion
