So you are an "environmental sociologist"? What the hell is that? Sounds like you are part of the HIGW industry yourself. So, I can see why it is impossible to talk sense into you. The old saying is that ""you can't make a man understand something is his job depends on not understanding it."

Got your snout and front trotters in the trough?

LEGO,

You sound jealous.

Good post, ALTRAV. If you don't understand "why", I will explain it to you.

A group of politically motivated, publically funded scientists, who's obscure profession of Climatic Research was not considered important, in the way that Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Geology, and Engineering are considered important, proclaimed that their research had discovered a previously unknown catastrophic world crises. This was the second climatic catastrophe these fortune tellers had foretold in fifty years, and they hoped that the public had forgotten the first one, which flopped.

Their new prediction created well funded demand for their services, and also created a new priestly caste of politically activist scientists who felt they now had the moral authority to dictate policies to governments and tell everybody else how we all should live.

This supposed world catastrophe, was seized upon and publicised by the world's media who are always looking for impending "end of times" catastrophe stories to frighten the public into purchasing their supposedly informed publications. This was especially so for publically funded media, who saw in climate change as another way to promote a government "of the public service, by the public service, and for the public service." I'll be that Max is another public servant with a impressive sounding non job of zero productivity.

For almost forty years, climate skeptics have been treated by the press as crazy kooks and most of the media simply refused to interview them. But any HIGW scientist can say any blithering nonsense, or make any ridiculous prediction, and the media hangs on their every word. Governments lavish spending on climate scientists. Nobody funds skeptic scientists. They are the ones who get sacked from their government jobs.

HIGW was also seized upon by left leaning politicians who immediately grasped the concept that here was a fantastic way to destroy free market democracies, greatly increase taxation, and increase government regulation without any discontent from a frightened and cowed public.
Not to be outdone from exploiting this farce came the kooky vegans, who jumped on the bandwagon and demanded that all humans must stop eating meat to save the planet.

(continued)

Next to jump on the bandwagon was the growing brahmin caste of educated elitists who realised that here was another opportunity for them to strut and preen, look down their noses at their working class inferiors, and display their moral superiority to the business class, who are usually their parents.

Totally mortified that the mainstream press was no longer house trained and acting as their echo chamber, and upset that the press was no longer just accepting the climate change cultist party line without question, they resorted to acting like tantrum throwing 2 year olds. They demonstrated, screamed, and hyperventilated. They shut down debates on campus using threats and violence. They bizarrely hoped to gather support from the public by super gluing themselves to busy city roadways during peak hour, a tactic which clearly backfired. Especially since so many of the activists looked like extras from a low budget horror movie.

Next came the worldwide tactic of marshelling school,children to hand out leaflets on street corners and railway stations, some kids literally crying and claiming that adults were taking away their futures. Using children as your foot soldiers for political advantage hardly impresses the adult voting public either. The sight of 16 year old Greta Thurnburg sneering "How dare you!" to the representatives of every nation at the UN was a stunt more worthy of hilarity than serious consideration. Every parent has seen such adolescent disapproving and lecturing behaviour before, and this from world saving kids who demand to be driven everywhere, and who can't even keep their bedrooms tidy.

LEGO, good work and well reasoned.
I can only agree.
I have delved into this and more for some years, and at the risk of sounding like a "nut job", I wonder what your take is on the info I have been following, regarding activities that have names like, The Elite, One world order, and much more.
These people form a group of the wealthiest people in the world, and to my surprise,(or not), are Jews.
Any thoughts?
I realise it is off topic, so if you do not wish to comment, it's OK, I understand.

Hi Altrav,

Do you mean people like the Rockefellers:
