Psychotic delusion rules the climate establishment. Mental illness is a wicked problem without easy solutions.

Oh god, it is far worse than we thought. The clowns actually spent time preparing and producing that complete train wreck of a production. Why? For what purpose? Did they rehears to be so hopeless at even that basic task? Producing a street act/demonstration that they needed people to relate to , but who ever could?
Pathetic is too kind a word to describe their performance. That is before we get onto the flawed beliefs they hold.
I thought we have it bad in the UK but clearly the USA is equally troubled with dysfunctional alarmists..
Forget the coffee, time to break out the hard stuff.

I need a dose of Alka-Seltzer, after that, and they need a dose of Epsom salts.

They need a dose of senna tablets, they appear to be severely constipated.

We could try an experiment, half, get the Epsom salts, the other gets the senna pods, then stand back.

They must be the actors that failed the “goes wrong show” audition

Yes…. OR — that farce IS an episode of “Gone Wrong.” 🤣

Expecting nick-pick, fungal, the bellboy or simion along any minute to praise the acting skill !!

Oh you know how they are, they have no lives or interests outside of manipulating numbers; they never post on these other topics.

Sad and hard to watch. How these idiots ever got traction is beyond me. How they persist is even more mystifying. Having seen some of the video, I will sleep easier.

They prostituted themselves to big money and now no act is too degrading to perform if it keeps the money stream going.

Especially when climate “scientists” have never been in a lab of any sort, unless you count sitting at a computer making up fraudulent models. Maybe because even the computer bars at them?

December 15, 2023 1:14 pm

Maybe they could stage their little street theater without fossil fuels…

I lasted one minute watching these ‘scientists’ then went to musing on what they are teaching our impressionable children

On X/Twitter a short while ago, Peter Kalmus thinks a thought that could make sense: “I wonder if my brain just works differently or something.”

Please, sir, seek help.

I think about climate basically all the time. And one thing I wonder is why the Earth getting irreversibly hotter just doesn’t seem all that scary or even urgent to most people. To me it’s truly horrific. I wonder if my brain just works differently or something.

“People who follow a vegetarian lifestyle have around twice as many depressive episodes as those who eat meat, according to the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health.”
Vegans and Vegetarians are far more likely to suffer from anxiety, stress and depression than meat eaters – Peter Kalmus became a vegetarian and then a vegan. I think it’s fair to say that his diet is doing him no favours and, whatever supplements he is on, he should consult his doctor about increasing the dosage.

“I think about climate basically all the time. And one thing I wonder is why the Earth getting irreversibly hotter just doesn’t seem all that scary or even urgent to most people.”

Why do you assume the Earth is getting irreversibly hotter? It’s been hotter in the United States in the 1930’s than it is today. If you had been back in that time,you would be saying you are living on an Earth that is getting irrevesibly hotter and you would have been wrong.

After the 1930’s the temperatures cooled by about 2.0C.

There’s no reason to think the current warm temperatures won’t start to cool off just like they did in the past.

Unfortunately, your wrong-think has you believing that CO2 is the cause of the current warming and more CO2 will go into the atmosphere in the future, thus, you think the warming is irrevesible.

The problem with your thinking is there is no evidence showing CO2 is determining the Earth’s global temperatures, and the real problem with your thinking is this should be obvious to someone who looks at all the data available. All the data available does not show that CO2 is the control knob of the Earth’s climate.

Kalmus is basing all his wrong-think on speculation, assumptions and unsubstantiated assertions about CO2 and none of that is evidence of anything.

I don’t know if your brain works differenly, but I do know you are not looking at things objectively, assuming you can do so.

The evidence is out there. The evidence is: There is no evidence that CO2 is controlling Earth’s temperatures. You can’t produce any evidence showing any such thing. That being the case, don’t you know you are not on solid ground? Aren’t you smart enough to figure this out?

The only thing it can be is you are not able to distinguish real evidence from speculation, assumptions and assertions. You think speculation, assumptions and assertions about CO2 *are* evidence. That’s not science.

Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds
Excerpt:

From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25.

An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet’s vegetated regions. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States.

Oh yeah, the planet is deeeeeply suffering from being greener and more abundant life growth that is awful Earth is smiling happily for the increased CO2 in the air floating around.

Yes,
They cherry pick only bad things and attribute them to a fake climate crisis while ignoring even more good things.
Booming biosphere/greening planet as you showed, for instance.

Massively increasing crop yields and food for most life. Growing seasons extended in mid/higher latitudes, agriculture expanding.
Less cold and less extreme cold. Fewer deaths from cold, that still kills 10 times more humans than extreme heat and 200 times more life than heat.
Best weather/climate for most life in the past 1,000 years (the last time it was this warm, during the Medieval WARM period).
Slightly LESS global drought, not more.
Less violent tornadoes because of the reduction in the temperature gradient between the higher latitudes that are warming the most and the mid/lower latitudes.

Objective scientists, using the authentic scientific method would ALWAYS provide information that relates to BOTH sides of any scientific discussion.
Always. No acceptations.

Failing to do so, by definition of the scientific method means that THOSE scientists are biased and using ANTI scientific standards.

Completely ignoring the key role that CO2 plays in the indisputable law of photosynthesis is as anti scientific as it gets.

Any source that pretends that’s not relevant is ignoring the building block for all of life……..that’s currently only half the optimal level for plants and much of life, since animals eats plants or something that ate plants.

Ignoring the truth of the past. Life on this planet always did best when the temperature was a bit warmer than it is now and always did worse when the temperature was colder than this.

And this is expected to continue past the end of this century……..based on authentic science/photosynthesis!

Global Green Up Slows Warming
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146296/global-green-up-slows-warming

Even deserts are greening up with CO2 making plants more water efficient and heat tolerant as an additional bonus.

Deserts ‘greening’ from rising CO2

https://phys.org/news/2013-07-greening-co2.html

Ironically, the REAL green energy sources have already proven themself worthy of that title via authentic science and photosynthesis using OBSERVATIONS and proven physical laws.

Instead, we call energy sources like wind “green”. Wrecking the planet, killing birds, bats and whales. Destroying landscapes and ecosystems and tearing up the earth for raw materials. To generate diffuse, unreliable and expensive energy.

Wind, solar and batteries are NOT about authentic science or the physical laws of nature, energy or economics.

The fake climate crisis feeds on enrichment schemes using crony capitalism, political/government agendas, corrupt science, dishonest, ratings seeking, sensationalizing media and often sincere but incredibly misinformed environmentalists.

The lab coats, if brown rather than white, would be a fair match to the US Cavalry “Stable Coat” that a trooper wore when cleaning out a stable. So, equine rather than bovine, but the aroma is very similar.

Some of the stupidest people on planet Earth.

I like biodiversity, so I’m 100% with oil companies without which those climate clowns would not even exist.

December 16, 2023 5:36 am

that was painful. It demonstrates the intellectual level of the target audience, perhaps. I chuckled that the “oil executives” were the only ones who could memorize their pedantic lines.

1st impression: bad theater, irregardless of the cause. Next thought, frustrated climate cultists looking for grant money to continue their existence without having to actually do manual labor of some sort. Is it time to confront these fools with requests, or demands, that they live the life of being truly divorced from “fossil fuel” products in their existence. As a lesson for all of us, of course. Not that I would like to see any of them buck naked living in thatched huts, but it might be more entertaining than this theater of the absurd. Just sayin’.

I managed to watch almost a minute before I started gagging badly.

Idiots versus idiot fakes.

So, a machine spun, woven, stitched, shipped white coats distinguish scientists?

No, the white lab coats are strictly props for foolish pseudo actors and their equally fake opponents pretending knowledge or science they never performed or read.
