My skepticism came from hearing nearly 2 decades of ‘global cooling is going to end civilization.’
Remember the big hole in the Ozone layer?
When ‘global cooling’ wasn’t evident — temperatures seemed to be holding steady or slightly rising — the fear tactic changed to ‘global warming is going to end civilization.’
More recently ‘global warming’ doesn’t seem to be happening, so the new mantra is ‘global climate change is going to end civilization.’
It is all a money gimmick — a way of getting governments and organizations to cough up massive numbers of dollars to fund research projects.
A-MEN, brother!
Yep, it’s all about Money and Governmental power over OUR lives. It’s a GREAT tool by which to pave the way for totalitarianism.
Until totalitarian regimes can secure their populations by force and threats of force they use misdirection. There is always something “they” are saving us from. Often it is an external enemy, like the United States was to the USSR and China when the US was a beacon of freedom, but now it is more nebulous things like poverty, discrimination, pollution, disease, over population, guns, global cooling, global warming, etc. Regardless, it is all a ploy to gain control of the society.
We, the average American, don’t want a controlled society so they must trick us into accepting their guidance, i.e., control. That is what these pretend threats are all about.
