CLIMATE ALARMISTS SHOULD BE WORRIED… PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP TO THE TRUTH!

By Cliff Reece / Chris Talgo

Climate alarmists have controlled the narrative as they methodically and successfully injected their relentless fearmongering and bogus science throughout academia, the mainstream media, and just about every major cultural institution.

While this has paid giant dividends in recent years, it has also fuelled a backlash that we are finally starting to see bubble to the surface.

Let’s begin by briefly recapping how the climate alarmists were able to hypnotize so many people into believing that climate change was an existential crisis – which it is not – in the first place.

At the end of the twentieth century and into the dawn of the twenty-first century, we began to see more and more calls for international bodies to address what they initially deemed “global warming.”

In 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was born, which was intended to combat “dangerous human interference with the climate system.”

Since then, the United Nations and several other influential international organizations have pounded the climate change message while weaving a spiderweb of agreements, treaties, and protocols to mitigate the so-called ‘climate crisis’.

While these powerful global institutions were ringing the alarm bell that the future of the planet was in immediate jeopardy due to humanity’s use of fossil fuels, a network of grifters emerged who were more than ready to capitalize on the alarmist narrative.

From former US Vice President Al Gore to scores of scientists, it became clear that if one jumped on the climate alarmist bandwagon in these early days, there was money to be made and government grants to be obtained.

Not much later, we began to witness high-ranking political officials from both sides of the aisle succumb to the climate alarmist narrative.

For instance, way back in 2001, then-President George W. Bush was touting his administration’s climate change agenda.

Then came the cultural deluge as K-12 educators, professors, actors and actresses, TV and radio personalities, social media influencers, and even one uneducated child activist from Sweden persistently peddled the climate alarmist narrative.

However, what goes up must come down.

After more than two decades of unyielding climate alarmism, climate realism is slowly starting to take hold.

How do we know this? Because ordinary, hard-working people are no longer buying into climate alarmism.

According to multiple polls, climate change is no longer a top concern for the vast majority of people.

We are finally starting to understand the truth about climate change while also becoming aware that climate alarmists have ulterior motives at hand, many of which are in direct opposition to the fundamental best interests of everyday citizens.

We are more able than ever to receive accurate information dispelling common myths and lies pushed by climate alarmists.

As anyone can read at ClimateRealism.com, the seas are not rising and weather events like hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts, etc. are not becoming more frequent nor deadlier. In fact, in many cases, the exact opposite is occurring.

Another huge factor that helped people realize the dubiousness of the climate alarmist narrative is that their solutions make no sense, do not address the so-called problems, and all too often end with less liberty and more government.

We are beginning to understand that climate justice, for instance, is mostly about wealth redistribution and has little to do with a cleaner environment.

A few weeks ago, Americans went to the polls and clearly rejected the climate alarmist nonsense that has been hoisted upon the nation over the past four years.

Without doubt, the Biden-Harris and Albanese-Bowen governments have been the most zealous when it comes to global warming. From mandating electric vehicles to even deciding the type of appliances we can purchase, both governments have been hell-bent on promoting climate alarmism.

But this is not what Americans or Australians want. Nearly all of us want to protect the environment and have clean air and water – but we don’t want our lives upended and bank accounts drained under the guise of ‘saving the planet’.

We want reliable and affordable electricity. We want cheap fuel. And, we want our governments to take full advantage of the abundant energy reserves right under our feet.

This is at least partly why President-elect Donald Trump won the White House and the Republicans took control of the U.S. Senate and House of Reps.

With Trump back in the Oval Office, we can expect U.S. energy dominance, not climate alarmism, to rule the day.

That is welcome news for hard-working Americans, albeit a total nightmare for climate alarmists and the cottage industry it has spawned.

Hopefully, climate sanity will also be achieved here in Australia – but that’s clearly not going to happen anytime soon with an Albanese-Bowen government.
