The 1841 book "Extraordinary Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay pretty much summarizes the human-caused global warming/climate change panic. In this case, cynically, the myth is being propagated to a scientifically dumbed-down populace by the government, media and academia for globalist, socialist ends.
Like the Dutch "Tulip Bubble" and the Y2K madness, this too will pass. But it will leave an extraordinary amount of economic and intellectual/scientific damage in its wake.
There was a post a few days ago that speculated ‘global warming’ was a Russian disinformation scam to get ‘first world counties’ to throw away money and ‘advantage’... it seems possible.
Such a simple concept, in an age reason.
This ain't that.
