No Political Movement On Earth Can Match The Hyperbole Of The Climate-Alarm Community

When it comes to rank hyperbole, no political movement on earth can ever hope to match the stuff that comes out of the climate alarm community. They have treated us to so many dire warnings about having just 10 years or 7 years or 12 years or 5 years to ward off certain impending doom since the global warming movement sprung to life in the 1980s that it has all long since become so much background noise to most ordinary citizens.

That in and of itself is a problem, given that, while we “normals” out here in flyover county laughingly dismiss their latest bit of nonsense, the activists and their coordinating policymakers keep doubling- and tripling-down on their freedom and energy security destroying initiatives. Laugh all you want, but this is all deadly serious business. There are trillions of dollars at stake.

A great example of the seemingly limitless stream of hyperbole came this week from United Nations executive climate secretary Simon Stiell, who told an audience at the Chatham House think tank in London that previous predictions of having just 12, or 10, or 7 years to act were overly generous. In fact, in Mr. Steill’s version of climate reality, the global community is now down to just 2 short years to reverse the flow of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to stave off catastrophic climate change of some sort or another.
