Back in the mid-70's, when Global Cooling was going to bring about mass Global Starvation, I told anybody who would stand still long enough to listen that this was nonsense and was going to be used to separate the gullible from their money. I had no idea.....

Like Jone's Town, Xcientology, Xhristianity and Wicca the current Climate Followers are a Cult. (Yes Victoria it is spelled correctly)

And like all cults, facts, data, logic and any form of dialogue is a waste of breath, time and energy.

Unfortunately, like all other cults it is a massive money spinner for the leaders, (St Al the Gore for example)

So like the Romans and the early Christians, you can't change their minds so the only answer is to feed them to Gladiators, lions and other wild animals.

People never, ever learn. :

"In April 1856, 15-year-old Nongqawuse and her friend Nombanda, who was between the ages of 8 and 10, went to scare birds from her uncle's crops in the fields by the sea at the mouth of the Gxarha River in the present day Wild Coast region of South Africa. When she returned, Nongqawuse told Mhlakaza that she had met the spirits of two of her ancestors.[4] She claimed that the spirits had told her that the Xhosa people should destroy their crops and kill their cattle, the source of their wealth as well as food. Nongqawuse claimed that the ancestors who had appeared to them said:[4]

The dead would arise.

All living cattle would have to be slaughtered, having been reared by contaminated hands.

Cultivation would cease.

New grain would have to be dug.

New houses would have to be built.

New cattle enclosures would have to be erected.

New milk sacks would have to be made.

Doors would have to be weaved with buka roots.

People must abandon witchcraft, incest, and adultery.

In return, the spirits would sweep all European settlers into the sea.[5] The Xhosa people would be able to replenish the granaries and fill the kraals with more beautiful and healthier cattle. "

For details https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nongqawuse

They killed 300,000 - 400,000 cattle, destroyed their crops and the Xhosa went from around 105,000 to 27,000 as a result of their actions.

And we get Greta!

"Almost all the global warming has been in the winter, at night, and in the far north."

Sounds like localised climate at the hemisphere level at the very least. Have not confirmed the claim, btw, just found it interesting.
