Even Bill Gates is backtracking — the air’s gone out of the climate-crisis balloon

As soon as Bill Gates weighs in on a subject, you can write it off as hysteria (at best) or a full-blown hoax.

The guy is a college dropout with no professional training or credentials that I’m aware of … and yet in the media he’s peddled as an expert on infectious diseases, climate, or any other issue du jour that useless totalitarian bureaucrats are using to exercise control over people.

This loser should have focused his time and energy on fixing the viruses in his own company’s operating system.

The Left is very good at crafting fear narratives and effectively branding them. The Republicans don’t even know what a narrative is.

Just like I suspected.
He is backing off as the message is “wrong”.
Solution is “change the message”

“They never give up.”

So true. They are motivated to win and they are of offence all the time, mainly because they never run into any resistance.

Anybody remember this exchange at the end of "Three Days of the Condor"? Cuz we're there when it comes to "Climate Change"...

Higgins: It's simple economics. Today it's oil, right? In ten or fifteen years, food. Plutonium. Maybe even sooner. Now, what do you think the people are gonna want us to do then?

Joe Turner: Ask them.

Higgins: Not now - then! Ask 'em when they're running out. Ask 'em when there's no heat in their homes and they're cold. Ask 'em when their engines stop. Ask 'em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They won't want us to ask 'em. They'll just want us to get it for 'em!

No, I am not “missing the point”. Large quantities of cheap energy is always a good thing. The fact that the new reactors also allow “carbon free” energy generation and drastic reduction of radwaste are bonuses.

What do you suppose their next “crisis” will be?

They’ve about exhausted homos and trannies. They about exhausted climate. Sex with kiddies is a hard-sell. The racism fad might have peaked and BLM and antifa are now passé. Forcing people into EVs isn’t working out (subset of climate). Forcing people to eat bugs is a tough sell.

What’s next on the execrable progressive hit parade?

Shutting down farms might be an up-and-comer (also a subset of climate).

Everything under the UN Agenda 2030? Of course, that embraces all of the above.

He realizes that inflation is eating away at what’s left of peoples’ disposable income and they’re not going to tolerate the elites pushing their expensive green agenda on them. Gates is worried about backlash. That’s what is causing him to back off his self-serving push for costly green programs.

“Imagine if we had a party that pushed for things. Wouldn’t that be nice.”

No kidding. Just ONCE I’d like to hear somebody say “Your entire progressive project is lunacy, will not work, will impoverish everybody, will lead to totalitarianism and hundreds of millions of dead. We are going to stop it cold.”

One man has had the courage to say that - President Trump. And he is reviled and repulsed by his party.

"There is NO climate crisis to solve"

Exactly. Just as there is and never was a "COVID" crisis to solve, and there is no "systemic racism" crisis to solve (though I would suggest that there IS a serious racism problem, but it is black racism against whites and Asians).

They are all invented crises, created for the purpose of expanding power and control.

*************

Maybe back to global cooling. LOL

Whatever it is has to include a fear component to underlie their blame game and justify more government programs. Every “crisis” requires lots of money and bureaucracy don’t you know.

He's backing off just for now. He'll be back soon enough with some other spin.

“They are all invented crises, created for the purpose of expanding power and control.”

***********

That in a nutshell is their game.

Notice how every “crisis” always benefits them.

Trump fights back and in the process exposes the rest of his party for the weak and feckless frauds they are. So they resent and revile him.

Who needs "climate Change" when COVID gives them everything Climate Change could only dream of.

Most people still don't know that the computer virus is a scam similar to COVID, Bill Gates left a window open on purpose and you better pay up or the virus protection companies will send you a virus

Bill Gates is an evil prick and now he is selling COVID virus protection
