Three huge problems for the climate hoaxers. In 1989 the UN Climate Council first publicly predicted the collapse of civilization in 10 years due to what was then called "Global Warming". When the dire predictions fizzled, they changed the name to "Climate Change" so that they could predict disaster even if temperatures did not consistently rise. Every hurricane , tornado, wildfire, and even in some cases earthquakes have been held up as evidence that the Global Climate Warming Change boogeyman was just about to kill us all. NOW the climate hoaxers have burned their bridges with decades of shrill and exaggerated claims. If they told us that the sun was going to come up in the morning, no one would believe them. Since the solutions were always HUGE government subsidies to unworkable solutions, ignoring cheap and practical alternatives like nuclear power, even the slowest members of the public have figured out that this is a scam.
Second problem is that scientists have toasted themselves. By faking test results and using grossly exaggerated predictions of COVID mortality and vaccine effectiveness to support totalitarian control over citizens, "scientists" scr3wed the pooch. They managed to demonstrate SO effectively that scientists are cheap wh0rres that lie for money and political influence that it will be 20 years before even the most gullible citizens will "believe in science" again.
Thirdly, progressives have convinced young people that the earth is dying, and only rapid human depopulation can save it. So when the climate loons run down the street wild-eyed saying "the climate is falling, we're all going to die", the response of the under-30 crowd is "Oh, thank goodness, I hope a lot of people die quickly". They have no human compassion or concern for the lives of the innocent. They believe human death is virtuous.
I predict that in order to arouse public concern, excess deaths ( deaths above and beyond other normal causes) due directly to the climate will need to significantly ecceed the rate of abortion. A society that can applaud the slaughter of over 1 million innocent babies a year ( just in the US) ,because babies night harm gaia, is going to need to see a LOT of pain, suffering, and death to be motivated to action.
Face it folks. The climate well has gone dry, there ain't gonna be any more big bucks going out based on scare tactics.
