This is the way the climate scare ends; not with a bang, but a whimper
What does the future hold for the climate change debate? Will there ever come a day when we see the headlines across the globe, ‘It’s Official – There Is No Climate Change Crisis’? Hardly – for unless we find some way to leap ahead in the currently highly immature science of climate change and manage finally to pin down the exact direct and indirect (via feedbacks) warming effect of adding greenhouse gases to our atmosphere and the exact effects of natural changes in our climate the outcomes will remain uncertain.
The eminent scientist Stephen Koonin has stated that, ‘Today’s best estimate of the sensitivity [of the atmosphere to the addition of carbon dioxide]… is no different, and no more certain, than it was 30 years ago. And this is despite an heroic research effort costing billions of dollars.’ Basically, unless the ‘Uncertainty Monster’ is slain (and there is absolutely no reason to believe that will happen in the foreseeable future) neither the believers nor the skeptics can ‘prove’ their case. In which case we seem to be in a ‘wait and see’ position. But for how long?
Even if the current global warming Slowdown persisted for decades it would still be possible that dramatic and dangerous warming was just about to resume. Indeed in 2015 The UK’s Royal Society expressed the view that it would take 50 years of divergence between the observations and the climate models before they would be convinced that the theory of anthropogenic climate change was flawed. We cannot be absolutely sure that there will be no climate change crisis – only that it is becoming increasingly unlikely. So the politically-correct scientific shibboleths of the ‘climate change crisis’ idea may well persist for a great many decades.
Having persuaded the world to spend trillions of dollars on fighting man-made climate change is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) really going to admit that the causes of climate change are actually far more complex than they originally thought and so they may have been fundamentally mistaken about both the attribution and quantification of warming?
And what about the UK’s Royal Society and the American National Academy of Sciences, those most renowned of scientific institutions; are they going to admit that they may have put political correctness and scientific funding concerns before scientific objectivity? What about all those climate scientists who have been so careful to tacitly collude with the IPCC and not rock the climate change crisis boat; are they going to admit that their judgments may have been skewed by considerations of the self-interest of retaining their jobs, careers, incomes and pensions?
And the many climate research units around the world; are they going to say, ‘Well we must go where the science takes us – if the science says that there actually isn’t a problem then we’ll just have to shut up shop.’ What about all of the senior politicians in the western world who have foisted an avalanche of regulations, taxes and controls on their electorates to ‘fight climate change’; are they going stand up and admit that their scientific illiteracy led them to be completely fooled? Are all those prestigious environmental organizations, such as the WWF, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth going to admit they had only ‘signed up’ to the global warming scare because it happened to suit their agendas, attracted donations and increased their influence?
Is the BBC, that globally respected bastion of impartiality and objectivity, going to admit to the people of Britain that it abused its position of trust by simply taking on face value the selective and spun science fed to them and taking an irresponsible and unjustifiably partisan editorial approach to the climate change debate? What about all those newspaper journalists who for years have been repeating NASA and IPCC Press Releases as ‘objective facts’, neither subjecting them to critical analysis nor asking any awkward questions?
What about all those celebrities who have lined up to pledge their support for fighting climate change by flying less frequently in their private jets to reduce their ‘carbon footprint’? What about all those school teachers who (willingly or unwillingly) taught their pupils about the climate change crisis as though it was an undisputed fact? No, it just isn’t going to happen – far too many reputations and far too much money is at stake.

the climate change cult has gone so far down the rabbit hole, that they’ll never abandon their “settled science”.
I hope Trump drop kicks the Paris Accord into the Atlantic ocean.
Rule number 1,Never admit the Con.

That’s right, Annie Girl. It’s why we’ll always have the myth of the ozone hole and CFCs. And why Hillary will die unexpectedly of undetermined illness, yet without autopsy.
I’ve lived through all of them.
Global cooling. Global warming. Global climate change.
They’ll hold on til the bitter end.
Wasn’t this in a Monty Python skit? 🤣
It’s time to shift the scientific focus back to vernalization, eugenics and alchemy. I’ll bet with proper public relations, there is still money to be made here.
“man made” assumes man has control.
Okay, make it 30 in Atlanta and 25 in Miami tomorrow. Too soon? Okay, make it whenever. Pick a date. Any date. Man makes it, I want to see it. Do it.
Come on, Inigo. It’s iocaine! Colorless, tasteless, odorless…I’d recognize it anywhere.
Of course we win. I Never understood the label Denier, I’m not in denial about Global Temperatures at all. You libs are in serious denial.
I’m just Observing while you run around like Chickens with their heads cut off !.
They should have used a Ploy that we were causing the moon to shift Orbit.
Now that would’ve scared the crap out of Me !
Maybe Libs think it’s one in the same.
As long as the left is allowed to control education in this country, the climate cult will never fade away, because there will always be a new generation of naive, fresh minds to infect with climate cult ideology along with all the other diseased beliefs of marxist hordes.
In short, leftist ideology in all its facets is like a herpes infection. It fades away from time to time only to come back with you least expect it and just as bad as it was before.
I’m glad Trump kicked Eurabia in the teeth on the
Paris accord.
CLimate Change / AGW Advocates – The other Bitter Clingers.
The Left are atheists, proud that God Is Dead.
They’ve renounced all the values of Western Civilization.
“Climate Change Settled Science” is the only absolute truth they can cling to.
Sad, angry, bitter clingers.
Climate Change is unconstitutional.
I remember something about government not having the authority to establish a religion ….or something.
The whole climate change alarmist crap has pulled into the station and has run its course. It came to an end on the eve of Nov 8, 2017. The think tanks and NGOs and other liberal morons can continue to wave their arms about sea level rise (barely exists, what they are seeing in most cases is subsidence they are too stupid to understand that), carbon credits, and carbon taxes, and fantasies about 80% (not a typo) reductions in total US CO2 in 40 years. But it’s over. All the agencies — NSF, NASA, DOE, UCAR/NCAR that have been funding this crap with our tax dollars are getting their climate budget wings clipped. The funding reductions, along with mountains of scary predictions that never have materialized, are bringing the whole damned thing down upon itself. HOORAY!
They cannot renounce their religion.
The cult allows NO apostasy.
Socialism is a sub-set of Nihilism and Globaloney Warming is another of the foolish illusions to which they (Nihilistic Socialists) promote – both to “give meaning” and to consolidate their power over their retarded acolytes. It, or something similar, is as necessary as air, water, and sustenance.
“Man cannot live by bread alone” is true amongst the retarded fanatics of Socialism as well as among humanity. The Nihilistic Socialists realized this at an early phase and have concocted various schemes and subterfuges to keep their insensate followers in a state of morbid ecstasy.
The “cult of personality” extended to the masters runs dry when the mystery fails – as it did with HRC and the Kenyan faggot – dullard humanity simply tires of them – thus the invention of the amorphous fantasy that can never be proved and will never come to fruition: the Third Empire (Reich) just over the rainbow.
