There are many sci-fi plots more believable than global warming. The have resorted to just making things up.

Oh no the planet is getting hotter, the sea levels will drop.

I read the other day where they reported that global warming would cause the oceans to rise in some areas and lower in others....

Yes. And it’s tragic that no counter-arguments are ever allowed. If some researcher wants to claim that climate change is affecting GDP, fine. Let’s see his raw data, and then allow for counter-arguments.

But all such challenges are forbidden. And should some professor somewhere try, there would be angry protestors at his office, and angry protestors at his home.

It really is quite fascist.

If the situation is so dire, why are these folks still flying private jets and living in mansions? Seems like the enlightened class would want to lead by example.

Even if this crap were true consider: AGW aka Climate Change will collapse the world's economy or the world can do everything the climate Experts want done and collapse the world's economy with far less hope of any recovery.
The whole things sounds like an Elitist plan to aggressively collapse the whole world's economy and leave them, the Elite safe sand snug in their walled and fortified enclaves while what's left of the world's ,following the inevitable famine, is used as an army of serfs to produce the food for the Elite and mow their lawns.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

I knew this article was rubbish as soon as they mentioned the Australia fires, which was helped by hundreds of arsonist and careless campers.

The California fires were caused by liberal policies that forbid the clearing of dry underbrush.

Yes, the climate is not static. It has been changing since the earth was formed. The man-made climate myth is the greatest hoax of all time.

Piltdown man was a piker compared to this.

Great quote, but I thought the whole aim of politics was to provide a path to power for the talentless.

Same with Australia. Leftist protesters stopped the needed prescribed burning last year.
