Great post and the funny thing, is that not one single part of the drivel being spewed by “Dr. Wilde” is or will be true in 50 years.
What happens when you grow up and learn that everything you’ve been told is a flat out lie? You become like poor Greta, who was used by the green grifters, robbed of an ordinary childhood, and was last seen screaming and getting arrested at an anti-Israel protest. She’s turned into quite the shrew.
I believe Greta finally woke up, she is far from a shrew, she like millions of others are sick of watching Israel slaughter innocent babies, mothers and fathers, they are the Palestinians in Gaza and now in Lebanon. Please go have a look on X at Gaza Notifications, theres also a documentary called "The Evidence" on there you may find eye opening or mind opening.
Fantastic post 👏👏👏, but the necessity for it and the proximate cause ( that propaganda masquerading as truth and aimed in the direction of often gullible youth) is very disheartening. I agree with your conclusion that as the climate activists continue to misappropriate resources and inevitably cause a decline in both the freedom and wealth of those individuals and countries subject to their mandates, that the money will eventually run out and the cost become evident, even as it inevitably has for other socialistic ventures, as Margaret Thatcher correctly pointed out.
But I still bemoan the tragedy of the financial and psychological damage inflicted on so many but these misguided and often power hunger elitist zealots.
Climate education should be the history of the earth, not weather propaganda. The schools allowing this need to be challenged and the school boards ( or whatever governing body there is) need to be challenged and the social justice warriors of the left need to be removed. Leftists everywhere need to be challenged vigorously. The return to normal and regular will never happen by sitting on the couch. The leftists are widespread and make it easy to agree with them while difficult to oppose them. They wield their political offices and government positions as a weapon to further the leftist movement. At every front they need to be resisted to the point of their failure and removal from elected office and government employment. The attack on children is a sneaky attempt to corrupt moral values. Don’t tolerate any leftist activity.
Dear Irina, the COP29 affair was not really about the $100 billion under the present agreement started in 2015, but the level of wealth transfer intended to start from 2025 until 2030. Yes! $1.3 trillion, per year!
Those currently paying asked major players who don't pay anything into the fund (China, India) if they would contribute. The answer was no. Thus we see COP29 and the impending COP30 as nothing but a grift fest.
Nobody knows where the current funds are spent (less than $100 billion per year), and so have no idea what it's doing. It seems those who like free cash just want more - and more - and more...
The plethora of Campbell’s Soup acronyms in today’s “world order” represent all the grifters that we should be separating ourselves from immediately. Budget Balanced!
I found it adorable they included a mention of the $1.3 trillion as they struggled to agree on the $300 billion, which infuriated the developing countries. It was fun!
Our owners figured out decades ago the best way to enslave us was to get into the schools and take them over. Young minds are easy to manipulate, especially when you have them and their complete attention 6-8 hours a day. Right now the only way to break this strangle hold is to home school OR be very active in your children education. OUr owners now will not allow opposing opinions into their system. If a student speaks out they will be ostracized by the teacher and by students. It takes a strong willed, a person with a I don't care attitude to stand up to these thugs. To expect a child to do that is asking way too much. We as parents need to go to parent teacher conferences and voice our opinions, firmly but politiely.
Indeed. We have been lucky with school teachers so far but we have been actively engaged in the process, as you say. It is already paying off, which makes me feel much better about my child's future.
Pretty much the same on mainstream news in Germany. The accepted bias is now so ingrained that any questioning results in being labeled a ‘climate denier’. I fully accept that the climate changes. It has always changed. 5 ice ages in 500,000 years is proof in fact. The bias is that we must DO SOMETHING. We must STOP the climate change!That is the accepted position and bias. Everything flows from this false premise.
Unfortunately the ‘cures’ only exacerbate the real issues we will face adapting to the climate.
Of course, you only looked at two paragraphs! I mean c'mon man, they're just a bunch of highly certified autocratic psychopaths profiting off the theft of your freedom and prosperity and despoiling every inch of the planet in the process. What's your problem with that?
This ostracism push is perhaps even more effective a tool than passing the propaganda as education. Kids want to belong, exclusion feels like a death sentences => they conform.
Thanks for the link, I'll see how many paragraphs I'll be able to go through. :D
It was home schooling & school choice that eventually destroyed the early 21st century public school climatastrophe cabal. The previous sentence was lifted from a history of public schools on planet Earth, written in 2121 AD. 🤘😎🤘
The worst is that this climate “education” is not only alarmist, it is also plain wrong. In the image you shared, it is claimed that hurricanes and floods will get worse as temperatures increase. There’s just one tiny problem — the IPCC AR6 reports and NOAA, aka “The Science”, explain that over the past 100 years, there have been no changes in hurricane intensity or frequency. We also don’t have evidence that flooding has increased (increased precipitation intensity doesn’t automatically lead to more flooding). The authors of the books probably have no clue about climate science.
Hey! You can't bother the leftists and their useful idiots with facts and other minor details, dude! You'll hurt their tender feelings - and that, my good sir, is the greatest crime of all!
Thank you Irina! As we know, climate is now a secular religion: one is apparently either a denier or an activist (or zealot), and reasoned debate or nuanced views (where I claim to be) are crowded out. Dogma replaces fact. I read yesterday that Chris Wright, Trump's choice for Energy Secretary, is a denier; never mind that he's on record to the contrary.
The new religion is doing what religions have always done unashamedly, which is to indoctrinate children. If you wish, you can relay to your daughter advice my mother passed to me from my great-grandfather: believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see. From your description, you are doing a grand job raising her anyway.
I will pass this on, Ian, thank you. We have made it our job to encourage her to ask questions and not take everything at face value. Luckily for us, we're spared the curse of peer pressure. She doesn't care about peer pressure. :D
You're very kind but in fact she takes after her father and her maternal grandfather, so I guess you can say there's a part of me there. :) I used to be a perfect case of the willing conformist, anything to be part of the in group. Took me years to get over it but when I did, I did it with a bang. At my daughter's age I used to read my life away and question its purpose and The Meaning Of It All. She gets excited by science, formulae and, gods help us all, bird taxonomy. Couldn't have wished for a better kid, to be honest. I've developed a whole new appreciation of genes since we had her.
They have in Japan. SDGs are omnipresent in Japan. My eldest kid is 11 and in the 5th grade. Their cram school text book had it last year and their elementary school text book has it this year. The childrens’ newspaper we get for them has either half page or full page ads for SDGs. For these last few years convenience stores and others have hosted SDG poster competitions for kids here. The Ueno Zoo has a billboard sized sign extolling SDGs. The supermarket the dry cleaners we use have SDG posters up as do the trains here. SDGs are everywhere here.
Hopefully the rebellious nature of most kids and the eternal desire for more stuff, more travel, better food will kick in, and after all this repression it will kick in hard. Anyway, none of them think they’ll ever be 50.
Good point but my hope is slim, given that the climate activism movement grew and swelled under the banner of holding governments accountable, while in fact these same activists advise the governments, so they're in the same camp. More illusions.
"The world cannot be dependent on energy technology that is dependent on the weather to change the weather!" - Unknown...........facts don't care about your feelings.....
Well, we are all going to find out soon enough. It's clear now that "The experiment must continue!" and so it will. If the deniers are right, boy will the alarmists feel silly! If the alarmists are right, well... too bad for the current ecosystem; the planet will of course be just fine -- it has grown a new one from scratch many times. But H. sap. may not be in it.
The track record so far is firmly in favour of the deniers. Sooner or later, likely later, alarmists will be right, when the Sun explodes, which none of us would be around to witness and feel silly or vindicated so why bother with either, come to think of it.
Great post and the funny thing, is that not one single part of the drivel being spewed by “Dr. Wilde” is or will be true in 50 years.

I wonder if Barry the O is paying attention and will be selling his seaside manse in Martha's Vineyard...
Psst, you left out the one in Hawaii
I believe Greta finally woke up, she is far from a shrew, she like millions of others are sick of watching Israel slaughter innocent babies, mothers and fathers, they are the Palestinians in Gaza and now in Lebanon. Please go have a look on X at Gaza Notifications, theres also a documentary called "The Evidence" on there you may find eye opening or mind opening.
You are both shrews. And no. Remember the Liberty.
Greta looks horrible in a keffiyah. At least it is unlikely that she will ever reproduce.
They won't acknowledge it was a lie, they'll cognitive-dissonance the hell out of it.
Of course, when it’s a religion, faith is frequently blind. Perhaps this explains why they’re always angry, miserable, and in need of therapy.

So do I. It will be a problem when these children grow up.

UNFCCC is UN edifice.
UN = wealth transfer from West to East and North to South.
Not…about…climate.
This was obvious when Scholz and Macron went to Africa and Canada and anywhere else they could in search of oil/gas in summer 2022.
Indeed. A politicians excuse to run up big expenses without doing much. No change there!
Amen!

It was sweet. The wealthy holding out the begging bowl, while destroying the source of the wealth. Unique. UN.

"Piss off"? Language, Irina, language!
You are not using strong enough language!
Hahaha! I must say the decision to keep it polite and delicate was a tough one. It's certainly not the word I use in my mind.
We'll said. And I liked the title of your post.
How appropriate, a fictional expert blathering about a fictional issue. Too bad the expert isn’t real as I’d rather piss on him.

Of course, because facts and objectivity are symptoms of white supremacy.

NOW you're gettin' it!
At least we can enjoy the schadenfreude of watching the leftists melt down...
Indeed. Yet it is being presented as indisputable fact and that's exactly how many would take it.

What a great start in life! I sense she takes after her Mum.

Superb! It seems the genes, like the stars, have aligned.
Just wait till they start learning about SDGs.
That would be outright cruelty, including SDGs in the secondary education curriculum. Or have they done it already?
They have in Japan. SDGs are omnipresent in Japan. My eldest kid is 11 and in the 5th grade. Their cram school text book had it last year and their elementary school text book has it this year.
