Study: Catastrophic Climate Warnings Fail to Shift Attitudes
Breitbart ^ | 04/10/2003 | Simon Kent

Posted on 04/10/2023 7:30:33 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A simulation based on apocalyptic images designed to highlight “the disastrous effects of climate change” had the opposite impact on those who viewed it and failed to shift attitudes, a study from Singapore Management University details.

The work was based on Hong Kong citizens being shown a life-like 3D depiction of a climate-induced six-metre storm surge on their city.

It sought to use virtual simulations of future extreme weather events to communicate climate change risk.

Even starving people reproduce...

The population will always continue to grow, at a greater or lesser exponential rate, unless a truly catastrophic event occurs, and even then, the numbers still rebound, unless annihilation is complete and total.

Most folks watch rich people living on shoreline properties with sky high prices.

If those folks started selling for pennies on the dollar due to fears of rising seas then people would pay attention (whether the panic was justified or not).

It is not happening.

“In order to understand these negative findings, the researchers asked people to explain their feelings.”

So they can better bamboozle them next time.

And man made CO2 accounts for only 3% of the total CO2 poured into the atmosphere each year - the rest is natural.

And they want us to believe that that 3%,which is basically round off error, is going to destroy the earth.

Even worse, after paying lip service to the environmental gods/global warming “industry”, Obama spent MILLIPONS on a beach house in MA. Does that indicate he believes one word of the nonsense he spouts?

These people are horrible examples, and shouldn’t be confused as to why nobody believes them. When they try to say COVID is a result of “climate change” and worse epidemics are coming due to it, it is clear they are fabricating this as they go.

And lately they’ve stopped saying whether we’ll freeze to death or burn to death. They just allude to some type of apocalypse or other that will end the planet.

Puts medieval fire-and-brimstone monks to shame in their fervor.

“just allude to some type of apocalypse or other”

Yes, you are right. They tamped down the apocalyptic visions, didn’t they? As you say, it’s now just some vague end-of-civilization or end-of-earth prediction without much of a timeline.

It’s kind of funny that Singapore Management University resurrected the catastrophe and mortal end fear porn.

They have been hitting us with Global Warming propaganda for nearly 40 years and the world still hasn’t ended, they just changed the name to Global Climate Change. Before it was Global Warming it was Global Cooling. You get to a certain age and just say “Meh, whatever. I’ve heard it all before.”

There is also a point in the middle of winter where I say “A little global warming would feel good right about now.”

More people are becoming aware that nothing we spend can affect the temperature one degree or the sea levels one inch.

“Global Warming propaganda for nearly 40 years”

It was old hat at forty years—here are some that go way back:

https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-of-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions/

The list starts at 1967.

I have been hearing their garbage my entire life—I hate liars.

NETZERO will push 2 Billion more people into Starvation.

Cities should ignore flyover country and go net-zero within urban areas, where most Demonrats live. They have all the votes they need there. Cities do not produce food or energy, so nobody will starve. Cities will just continue turning into open air prisons for drug addicts, criminals, and illegal aliens.

They need to simulate a world with trucks with a 50-100 mile range, a grid unable to support the transportation sector, little fertilizer, little food, and lots of broken down wind mills.

I, for one, welcome our new warmer winters!

Alaska becomes the new Florida! There is a LOT of space in Alaska...

Siberia finally becomes a paradise...lol

Flooding out the blue coastal cities is an acceptable price to pay for new frontiers with balmy breezes...

It needs another guy holding a sign that says Stop Global Cooling, the world will end in 1980, 1990, 2000 (what we heard in the 1970s)

In other words, it’s a kickback scam to force people to buy unneeded products through lawfare, with kickbacks going to the legislators who push the laws.

Easy peasy get rich quick schemes.

The cool thing about all this modern junk is that as the policies fail because they defy basic economic principals or abandon their people (globalist agenda that is contrary to national interests), those in power (politicians and oligarchs) can blame:

-Over population
-Climate change

So, you can have a Jeff Bezos with Amazon working people in cages, part time, without benefits, and sourcing everything from China lecture us how we’re poor because of the climate and over population.

For a little while it was Covid, today it’s Putin a little bit also.

These are all fake/faux arguments that can’t truly be quantified or measured. They are a facades to justify political action or excuse the consequences of idiotic policies that otherwise cannot be justified using a true national security, economic or moral cause.

But... people believe the horse $hit.

Especially those that have a large social media presence, watch a lot of TV and/or MSM news, went to a public school and have a higher education.

Most higher ed degrees are worthless, but those that graduate with these degrees can quote you the philosophical basis of every pop culture social fad/trend with the lingo and all: privilege, triggered, patriarchy, LGBTQIA, racism, misogynist, sexist, climate change, social justice... In fact, they will be almost unable to withhold using these vapid ideas regardless of the topic discussed. You can talk about nearly anything, and somehow one of these ideas needs to be injected, sort of like an American movie with the black-white duo years past (1980s), homo nice guy (1990-2010), or today macho female (2010-present).

Ask someone with a business degree today to do basic accounting, or write a simple contract, tell you in the most basic terms what the FLSA is, and you’ll be shocked at how little they actually know.
