The absurdity of the “carbon” crisis and “global warming” is so amazing I find it incredible that there are still articles and studies going on. What it tells me is that there are no real crises. At least not ones anyone can get behind to resolve. Social Security, illegal immigration, government overreach all easily come to mind as much more real and immediate than carbon or global warming. But mention them and someone waves his hand and says, “We’re all gonna die in just ten years.” They’ve been ten-yearing the rubes since the sixties when the crisis was the coming ice age and peak oil. I remember an article stating we were all going to die in the freezing dark by 1975.

So much of the Climate Crisis is about selling newspapers, magazines, stick with us for breaking news, or getting clicks on YouTube today. Meaning the more outrageous the headline, the more likely someone is going to read it. If you put the polar bear floating on the ice berg on the cover of Time magazine they are more likely to buy it.

Now, IF you make a click bait statement, someone is more likely to read your stupid article on the internet or watch your video on YouTube. The more clicks, the more you make.

There will never be a headline that reads “all is well, no reason to worry, have a nice day”

“I find it incredible that there are still articles and studies going on.”

This has everything to do with the endless supply of grant money for anything that contains the word “climate”.

“But mention them and someone waves his hand and says, “We’re all gonna die in just ten years.” “

That’s sooo yesterday! The latest “we’re all going to die!” prediction is in two years according to the UN climate chief.
