“Put Al Gore and the greenies on suicide watch.”
Nope Al gore and the greenies are just looking for a carbon neutral way to burn this heretic at the stake. “Climate change” isn’t science, it’s a religion.
I’m old enough to remember the doomsday predictions of the Club of Rome. Back in the late sixties and early seventies, they commissioned computer modeling of world resources and demographics, and concluded that world government was essential to mitigate the certain doom that awaited humanity. Lots of people were impressed back then by any study that used a computer: the doomsday predictions were the settled science of advanced computer models.
That makes me old enough to remember also Paul Ehrlich’s original doomsday predictions.
The people who believe this stuff are typically secularists who scoff at the religious. Most are too dense to see that they are just as superstitiously absurd as are members of the doomsday cults that predict that the end of the world is around the corner. Of course, there are a few who know exactly what they are doing.
It’s not surprising to the objective observer that their prognostications fail to materialize. And it’s not surprising that a charlatan would behave like the Wizard of Oz, pretend that he remains a wizard, and proceed to make new predictions. The amazing thing is that these charlatans routinely get a free pass when their predictions fail. The credulity of their believers defies rational explanation. It really does seem like universal doomsday fears are hardwired in the psyche of a large fraction of humans.
