Can we all get a refund? Now UN climate experts admit climate change won’t destroy Earth tomorrow (only 4.68 years left)

Apocalyptic climate-change predictions were box-office gold for Hollywood but they did untold damage to the public psyche, economy and the average man’s pocketbook.

Now the United Nations’ influential climate change committee has quietly discarded the dire temperature-rise scenarios used in two previous reports predicting horrific consequences of global warming if greenhouse emissions weren’t curbed.

For years, lefty outfits — based on dubious climate science — screamed about the coming climate catastrophe: The New York Times warned that “Climate Change Is Harming The Planet Faster Than We Can Adapt,” “Climate Change Is Speeding Toward Catastrophe” and “A Hotter Future Is Certain.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) insisted the world would end by 2030 if we didn’t address climate change — by which she meant waste trillions on the Green New Deal and return to Stone Age-style living.

Democrats went full-tilt in accepting the UN-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report’s forecasts of a dramatic rise in sea levels, rapidly melting glaciers, global crop failures and even the ultimate extinction of mankind.

But let’s face it: The UN scenarios were overblown from the start, and the left’s climate crusaders hyped them even more.

The newest IPCC report credits renewables, global climate policy and recent emission trends for making the most dire forecasts “implausible.”

But even earlier IPCC reports, when read thoroughly, made clear the looming catastrophe the left predicted was nothing more than a politically useful fiction.

Last year, Dutch researchers refuted projections of calamitous sea level rises by actually looking at data gathered from coastal sites around the globe rather than on models extrapolating from biased assumptions.

Do people actually believe this nonsense? That is what’s really amazing.

In the 1960s it was “THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!” that was going to destroy us.
When that did not happen it was “THE COMING ICE AGE”going to freeze us.
When that didn’t happen it was “GLOBAL WARMING!”
Then “CLIMATE CHANGE!”
Now we are returning to “THE COMING ICE AGE” threat again.

Rush was right, especially on this one. The “climate change” proponents should have seen through this stuff a long time ago, but apparently did not. I don’t know how many people may have spent an untold amount of money on something that has never materialized or how many will keep on spending. Glad to say that I have never been sucked in on this one.

See through global warming hoax? Not likely. The global warming eco zealots were salivating at the prospect of mass extinction. The communists saw as a vehicle for undermining the west. The average Democrat saw being a greenie as a badge of being a good person. Mind numbed robots all of them. I sure miss Rush more and more every day.

Remember this?

From Politico in 2022:

Historic climate bill to supercharge clean energy industry.

The climate and energy provisions of Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act would speed greenhouse gas cuts and put the U.S. on track to deliver the lion's share of President Biden's target for 2030.

Senate Democrats delivered a dramatic win for President Joe Biden’s effort to fight climate change on Sunday, passing a bill that will devote hundreds of billions of dollars to clean energy sources and speed the U.S. transition away from fossil fuels.

The bill that includes $369 billion in climate and energy provisions that will transform how Americans get their energy and shape the country’s climate and industrial policy for decades. And it represents an extraordinary turnaround from just months ago when the Biden administration pivoted from its climate priorities to press for increased oil and gas production to combat the energy crisis that sent energy prices skyrocketing.

Pure grift for democrat camp-followers.
