The cult of global warming wants all your money. The more enthusiastically you pay for skyrocketing food and fuel costs — part and parcel of the World Economic Forum’s dreams for a centrally controlled economy — the more piously you can demonstrate that the good “green” spirit has filled you to the brim with virtue. Are you worthy of Mother Earth’s blessings? That depends! Do you drive an electric vehicle? Are you committed to the eternal gospel that all hydrocarbon molecules are evil and that free market economies cause inclement weather? Do you regularly condemn “climate skeptics” as charlatans deserving of censorship, persecution, and even death for their lies? You don’t doubt the prophecies of Klaus Schwab, Barack Obama, George Soros, Al Gore, or any of the other church elders, do you? To question the climate change prophets is to blaspheme! To question man-made global warming is to sin! To question that the “science is settled” is to invite an apocalyptic hell dooming the planet! Disciples, commit yourself to the climate change church, do what you’re told, preach the “green” dogma to wayward doubters, and without exception, always…penitently…obey!
Climate change zealotry is a scam. That so many hundreds of millions of human beings around the world have allowed themselves to get caught up in the greatest, most diabolical con game of all time is endlessly vexing. There is no better example of how dangerous a mind virus can be. When people are shamed into turning off their critical thinking skills and blindly accepting an idea on faith alone, the damage is never less than immense.
I don’t know how many times I’ve had some version of this conversation with otherwise rationally thinking people: So you agree that power corrupts and that governments routinely lie? Oh, of course. And you recognize that the U.S. government, like all others, has spread waves of propaganda at different points in history to affect public opinion, justify wars, win elections, increase budgets, avoid responsibility for heinous crimes, etc.? Isn’t that obvious? Right, okay, but on this one issue — that man’s use of cheap and abundant supplies of hydrocarbon energy, which has raised the global standard of living exponentially over the last century like no other time in human history, is coincidentally so dangerous that it must be regulated and controlled by a handful of wealthy global economic elites who promise to save the planet only if we do as they say and obey — you believe that those same liars are telling the truth? Of course! Who could make up such a lie? It’s backed up by science! Right.
