Yes, I am afraid you are right, but now people knows it’s a religion, a belief system, and not a scientific fact.
There is no way to prop this broken crap up anymore, from deleted raw data — Who in their right mind ever does that? To fraudulent computer models. The computer models are modeling something we have no way of knowing, are themselves a fraud. The only computer models that might even be close to reality are those that have been verified by reality.
The only hope they had to make the fraud stick was to convince the ignorant that they understood the science as offered to them — Like my liberal friends on my block.
The children in schools have no idea, few watch what little news there is and no news sites A good bet is 5% under 25 have even heard of this.
The policies of the government have not changes. Our governor Arnie has not acknowledge it - no politician has.
The WH is refusing to acknowledge it and the media will obsess on the climate factual claims from Denmark in a week.
We need a bigger, more public fight and fighters.
