Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the climate gravy train. Where’s the pushback? By Rei Takver at The Guardian.
As Donald Trump assaults the legal foundation of America’s ability to regulate global warming emissions, climate deniers have been privately celebrating what they claim is the “silent” acquiescence of billionaires, Democrats, climate activists and even reporters to the president’s aggressive pro-fossil-fuel agenda. …
“The Trump administration just marched in and destroyed the crown jewel of climate science in the United States,” Robert Brulle, a professor of environment and society at Brown University, told me, referring to the Trump administration’s dismantling of the country’s premier climate research center, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in December.
“And nothing happened. There wasn’t even a whimper.” …
“I think the climate movement in the United States has failed. It has flat failed, and that means we need to rebuild this movement in a completely different manner,” he said. …
Instead of pushing back on this blitz, many Democratic party representatives have retreated from talking directly about the climate crisis across social media, podcasts, speeches, and in Congress. …
The growing “climate hush” is not limited to the US — a silence about the climate crisis has expanded across the globe.
At Davos in January, world leaders across business and government talked noticeably less about addressing climate change than in previous years.
Donald Trump has driven a poleaxe through the Climate Voodoo Machine — destroying the legal basis for climate activism, pulling out of 66 Globalist agencies, setting the dogs of DOGE onto the climate cheerleaders and threatening the cabal of Banksters. Yet, despite all that, there are no hordes in the streets begging for carbon credit schemes.
Could it be that no one really ever cared?
Even the devoted billionaires can’t manage a press conference from a private yacht to “save the world”.
The people have figured out that climate change was a scam and The Democrats know it. They don’t want to talk about climate change in case they turn off the voters. …
The Guardian has no idea, but Climate Change is dying for all the right reasons. The public figured out that their electricity bills would never go down, and the believers were always wrong. So in the US the voters voted for Trump, and the firestorm that unleashed was exactly what they wanted.
Instead of protesting, Bill Gates dropped everything he used to say and suddenly said we should worry about other environmental issues. And BlackRock and the bankers are more interested in AI. Everyone was more interested in AI, and the datacenters ate the business case for unreliable energy for breakfast.
The climate scare is dying because people have noticed:
- The climate predictions have failed to come true. (Yes the planet s warming, but not even as much as the minimum warming rates originally predicted — even according to their dodgy temperature measurements that exaggerate the warming).
- The temperature and climate data prior to 1990 was thrown out and completely revised by the CO2 people. History was flatly contradicted and changed.
- The temperature measurements of today are made in opaque fashion by the CO2 people. Self-interested, what?
I could tell you precisely what is wrong with the climate models and why they are wrong (but basically unfixable, given today’s state of knowledge), but no one is interested and I’d rather stay out of trouble.
I could also point you to my study using advanced maths of the relationship between the Sun and temperatures on the Earth’s surface, which accounts for the warming since 1650, the little ice age before that, and the medieval warm period before that. In 2015, I predicted a temperature peak in about 2017 then mild cooling for the next decade. That prediction is coming to pass, with the notable caveat that in 2022 an underwater volcano called Hunga Tonga threw up a lot of water vapor high into the stratosphere, which warned the planet dramatically but is now fading as the water vapor gradually falls out of the stratosphere — which will take about five years. (Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas. It is most potent when in the stratosphere, but normally the stratosphere is basically free of water vapor. By the way, jet aircraft emit water vapor in the lower stratosphere where they cruise, and global warming is mainly a northern hemispheric phenomenon.)
