Where Have All the Climate Alarmists Gone? | 5-Minute Videos | PragerU

After years of dire warnings, the climate panic is quietly fading. World leaders barely mention it, voters rank it near the bottom of their priorities, and even Greta Thunberg has moved on.

So what changed? Bjorn Lomborg, Hoover Institution fellow and author of False Alarm, investigates.

The alarmists are still around. Their proportion may have decreased somewhat, but I have no doubt that they will still do a great deal of harm in Western Europe. And the EU, which completely undermines the sovereignty of its member states, can still impose a great deal of suicidal nonsense on us. The U.S. Constitution is subject to no other authority. The French Constitution is partly subordinate to the European constitution. A denial of democracy.

Climate change was just a tool that worked for a while. They will find or create other tools – that is ALL they think about. They are obsessed with it. To create a great big marxist utopia where the few elites have all power, money and control.

Greta Thunberg remains CLUELESS that the word ENERGY is comprised of 3 topics:
1.      Transportation fuels
2.      Products
3.      Electricity

She and Net Zero Green Energy Ideologists are OBLIVIOUS to reality that the “Energy Transition” is only an “Electricity Transition”.

•        They demand that we shut down the energy and economic systems that make our lives, health and living standards possible, because they insist on forcing us to eliminate those that work – and replace them with just electricity generated by favorable weather conditions that bring blackouts, poverty, disease, deprivation, joblessness and shortened lives!

•        They tell the poorest people on Earth that they must renounce their God-given right to modern technologies, health and living standards – and sacrifice their landscapes and wildlife with wind turbines, solar panels and occasionally generated electricity trash on their altar of climate fanaticism?

Wind Turbines and Solar Panels have limited capabilities:
1.      CANNOT produce the transportation fuels required by airplanes, trucks, merchant and cruise ships, construction equipment, and vehicles.
2.      CANNOT make any of the more than 6,000 products made from fossil fuels for today’s materialistic society and economies around the world.
3.      ONLY generates electricity under favorable weather conditions.

When it comes to actually “energy”, wind and solar are barely a scratch, as REAL energy continues to provide the vast bulk of supply.

It should be pointed out that the REAL energy used to construct that tiny amount of wind and solar infrastructure is probably similar to, or larger, than the energy actually produced.

Sure, but in the UK your graph tells our glorious leaders that we must have even more solar and wind.
They are still fearful of the devil carbon dioxide.

The Marxist are already on to their next narrative to capture the people’s minds. They’ll leave behind useful idiots to carry on, and they will until the shine comes off the AGW narrative completely. In a Color Revolution only winning counts and losses aren’t considered.

There are reports that Soros is bankrupt. How much of the funding has gone ?

Consider the climate alarmist’s view. They claim that CO2 added to the atmosphere by man will cause catastrophic global warming. They have succeeded in convincing governments to spend trillions of dollars and force citizens to give up certain goods and behaviors while accepting less reliable energy at a much higher cost. All of this and CO2 has continued to increase. I can’t think of a bigger failure.

I expect that many are merely waiting for a Blue Sweep of the US Senate and House of Representatives, followed by a Blue Sweep of the Presidency in 2028.
