In US, climate anxiety churns up psychological storm

In the melting Arctic, communities are racing to maintain their way of life. In the rising Pacific, residents are sounding alarm bells. And in Rhode Island, Kate Schapira and her husband are not having a baby. Fears about climate change are prompting worldwide action, but one knock-on effect in the United States is mounting anxiety about everything from plastics to class-based environmental disparities. Schapira, a 40-year-old senior lecturer in the English department at Brown University, is addressing that unease in a number of ways. The decision not to have children was not just about concern for their future wellbeing amid environmental degradation, she explained, but also about not wanting “my sense of responsibility to the world to shrink down to the size of one person.” Schapira also says she has likely taken her last flight.

I did a search and nothing popped up with this header. Even using just key words. This disclaimer is due so being in FRepper Jail for: REASON---learn to search.

So, no doubt the psycho trade is raking in some serious coin with these dumbasses. A simple way for them to come to terms with the lies is to answer the following:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

I see they exposed the root cause of her mental illness.

Thankfully she won’t be flying any longer. At least commercially. Broomair, maybe.

I believe in mathematics and the scientific method, so I can’t believe in manmade global warming. Any credible analysis of temperature and its relationship to another factor would have to first find an independent measure of the sun's radiance. The difference between night and day temperature should tell you that. Such a measure (Mars) was not possible before the late 70's and the climate models pull in supposed data from millennia ago; so much for any interest in the scientific method.

After the 70's when an independent measure of the sun’s radiance was possible, teasing any trend out of an open system as complex as global temperature requires the most complex of mathematics and then only a measure of probability can be the result. Since all discussions propose a certainty equivalent to boiling water a 212F, mathematics is never considered.

The Arctic isn’t melting.
The Pacific isn’t rising.

The liars are lying.
The idiots are believing.

The “psychological storm” is a brew of fools.

Good- if a person is dumb enough to let a natural cyclical warming trend scare them then they are too dumb to raise kids!

You can conclude with: If AGW was a Scientific Theory there would be one model and it would be predictive. AGW has thousands of models and every single prediction it has ever made has not come to pass.

The media knows its role. It has carried out its mission to convince the public that “climate change” is valid. Movies, TV shows, magazines all are committed to causing the public to go crazy in preparation for oppressive legislation that will not solve the problem of “climate change.”

CA has already started. The EU and the UN are clamoring for similar laws.

It’s a good thing believers in the global armageddon refuse to have children.

Putting young people into a panic, viewing a new baby as an environmental liability instead of a gift from God, is the true goal of the AGW zealots and “thought leaders”. Creeps.

You will never meet anyone as stupid as an "academic." It seems a paradox, but the times have given it proof.
