Study: Catastrophic Climate Warnings Fail to Shift Attitudes

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.

People get tired of it. Especially when the Eco Scolds declare that pretty much everything that you enjoy is bad. Even the most fanatical Puritan pales in comparisons to these killjoys.

Zero credibility despite billions spent on every type of propaganda the taxpayers can pay for.

They can only cry wolf so many times. People are not moved by repeating lies.

Before I clicked on this thread I was thinking, well maybe they need to use even more hysteria driven words like "apocalyptic", and sure enough, right in the first sentence:

A simulation based on apocalyptic images

Now that the freaks have already gone to '11', what remains for the poor cretins?

Minds are made up on this issue. But the left has cleverly turned it into a religion, and continues to recruit new members of the cult through the public school system.

They win.

One day they will force me to buy an electric car. Meh, I won’t be driving it very long.

“NETZERO will push 2 Billion more people into Starvation.”

But, they can feel good about themselves for saving the planet! /s

Nothing they have said would happen, hasn’t. Why listen to them?

I hope the people wake up to this BS they call Climate Change.

Say, didn't ManBearPig say Florida would be totally submerged by now? I wonder why no sane person listens to, or believes this cr@p.

[rktman]

Hmmmmm!? Could that be because, despite the dire WARNINGS, none of them actually came to fruition? And haven’t since “they” started this lie. Could that be why?

The "warming trend" ended in July 2015 and that trend was NOT "man-made".

CO2 levels are a LAGGING INDICATOR relative to temperature change an NOT a leading predictor.

That means CO2 levels DO NOT DRIVE TEMPERATURE INCREASE!!

LOL...they hired an artist to make a "a life-like 3D depiction of a climate-induced six-metre storm surge." Now THAT is some real science, I tell you!

What about the earlier "life-like 3D depictions" that artists drew? Didn't they work? There are these classics from 2004, nearly 20 years ago...

There's always the opposite prediction as shown in this "life-like 3D depiction of a climate-induced" warming. If that didn't wake people up, then nothing will...
