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.
Things are so bad The Guardian has allowed a DeSmog “journalist” to write a story about it, and we can tell. As bad as The Guardian journos are — they have nothing on the poison pen of a DeSmog jilted writer — you denying denier, you.
Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the environment. Where’s the pushback?
“In my 26 years of being focused on climate, I’ve never seen anything like this. Trump is gutting everything they ever stood for,” Marc Morano, a long-time climate denier, said in January at the World Prosperity Forum, a five-day event in Zurich, Switzerland, billed as a rightwing alternative to the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“Billionaires are silent. Democrats in Congress have been silent. Climate activists. There has been no pushback on this,” Morano said – and he may have a point, according to some experts who research the climate denial movement.
The billionaires have left the room
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 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, National Center for Atmospheric Research, in December.
“And nothing happened. There wasn’t even a whimper. I never thought I’d ever say this: Marc Morano is correct.”
For Brulle, the environmental sociologist, addressing the growing hush around climate must go beyond talking. “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.
Maybe try building something on evidence instead of models?
Once upon a time big money managed to whip up some rent-a-crowd school girls to glue themselves to paintings. But now that the grants are gone, the groups don’t have the mojo, or the money to arrange the death-robes and the printed placards.
The polls always showed that only a few percent cared enough to want to donate money or buy carbon credits.. Half of Australia doesn’t want to pay a single cent on Net Zero targets...
The fact that the giant ship of climate angst ran out of steam so quickly shows it was never powered by much anyhow.
