Will the Climate Industry Move the Goalposts Again? Global temperature was on course to meet the 2-degree target without any emissions cuts.

The international climate alarmist industry comprises a number of special interests. There are the activists, fundamentally anti-human and deeply disingenuous, demanding that billions of the global poor suffer and die in order that the planet be “saved.” There are the “experts” in pursuit of bigger budgets and “research” grants. There are the editors of the peer-reviewed journals, transforming “science” into a propaganda exercise. There are the bureaucrats massively expanding their budgets and powers, the politicians seeking to transfer ever more wealth, and the journalists desperate to produce clickbait even as they remain invincible in their ignorance.

There are the official “environmental” groups whose business model is the use of political, regulatory, and judicial processes to steal other people’s property. There are the foundation officials writing checks in hot pursuit of invitations to the right cocktail parties. There are the Hollywood airheads addicted to thunderous applause on the red carpets. Don’t forget the corporate gasbags myopic, ignorant, incapable of ideological battle, and so naïve as actually to believe that they can placate the environmental Left. There are the international organizations striving toward utopia through ever-greater coercion. And – of course – there are the innumerable useful idiots engaged in virtue-signaling.

Well, IF CONvid don't take you out, by golly CLIMAGEDDON will. Uh, hey brandon. Thirty million acres* in the Gulf of Mexico for windmills? Not the brightest idea. But, I know someone that can sell you bridges to interconnect them all so the maintenance trucks can drive out to them. And also, thinking a new department to help the other may be in order. Since there is a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management don't you think you need a Bureau of Wind Energy Management? Fidiots.

They’ll continue moving the goal posts until hell freezes over.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Agreed.

If the data favors them, they’ll only beat their chests, and say we need to do more.

If the data DOESN’T favor them, they’ll pound the table and say we need to do more.

“We on the east coast are enjoying global warming.”

I say this seriously: Earth might become a more life-friendly place if it were a little warmer.

Ice melting around poles - what’s bad about that?

Sea level rising a bit - what’s bad about that?

Temperate regions becoming a little warmer - ditto

Pollution and the enormous production of trash another matter.

Over the last few hundreds of million years the Earth has been going from ice ages to more mellow climates. Where do you think all that water in Canada and the Great Lakes came from? We are presently in a warmer time. Hang around for a while. It will change and humans won’t be able to survive the cold. The Earth is a living, dynamic thing.

In case you lost the questions for your warmunist friends:

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.

LOL! Use as needed and tell them you’ll wait for the answers.

The report confirms many things about the fraud in the alarmists reports, but if I had any one complaint is that the report could have given the most material facts in fewer paragraphs and words.

Will they move the goal posts? Uh, just how long has it been since Algore first told us we only had ten years to live?

A lot longer than 10 years ago to my memory.

Yep. And the elite don’t care how much energy they use or the cost of it.
