Climate Change Obsessions is a Cult
DTA // American Thinker // Published March 2, 2021
For 51 years, climate scientists have warned us of the grave and existential threat of man-made climate change. In 1970, the Boston Globe published a news article with the headline "Scientist predicts a new ice age by 21st century." Five years later, in 1975, the threat was moved to red alert when the editor of New Scientists declared that "the threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind." Avid skiers and winter apparel brands were giddy with excitement — until they received some devastating news.
While the predicted ice age never came, and the climate coolers were forced to admit they had been wrong, they assured us that global warming would fulfill their prophecies instead. In 1988, scientists and leading climate experts predicted that the Maldives and Manhattan would be underwater by 2018.
In 2014, the French foreign minister standing alongside John Kerry declared, "We have 500 days to avoid climate chaos." The more the climate changers' predictions failed to come true, the more disastrous their predictions became and the less time we were told we had to act to avert catastrophe. Makes sense if you don't think about it.
Today John Kerry says the Earth has only nine years to avert the worst consequences of climate crisis. Two years ago, in 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told us, "The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change." I don't know whom to believe. Is the world ending in 2030, as Kerry says, or 2031, as Ocasio-Cortez said?
