Those who actually DO science always question the science. It's how real science gets done.

Perhaps someone could explain that to Nature using very small words and short sentences. Pictographs perhaps.

It would probably require bullets.

Lots of bullets.

How come nobody is suing these various government/NGO agencies asking them to prove that their "science is settled" by showing the work of those who are not using "models" but instead are using accurate historical data and the geological record, who are not paid by governments or their proxies, and who are not using "climate change" to secure a lifetime of employment? How come nobody is suing to force these climate Jeremiahs to defend THEIR position?

Additionally, we have been casting trillions of dollars into the Climate Change ocean for quite a few years now. Their "settled" science seems to be based on a few decades of "evidence" so shouldn't there be some hard evidence, over these same few decades, showing that all the money, all the windmills and solar panels, and all the electric cars, etc., are having some positive effect by now?

Instead of showing us that all the measures that we are being forced to take are actually having the positive effect on the climate that they say these things will have, all we get are more and louder prophecies of doom promising the certitude of our imminent climate heat death. Surely there should be SOME measure of success by now. Unless, of course, there isn't any because the whole thing is a scam and they know it, and we know it, and they know we know it, but they don't care because they are getting filthy rich from it.

Just the legal profession that conceives, writes, passes, enforces and interprets the laws, roaming about looking for revenue sources. Does Hell have enough room for them all?

Just FYI, oil company Chevron is located (head office) in California. They recently announced that they will be moving their head office out of California to a friendlier jurisdiction, in this case, Texas.

So yes, oil companies ARE moving out.

The first thing we do is, let’s sue all the lawyers. OK, maybe not sue.

We are carbon based lifeforms in a carbon based world, expelling carbon in the form of CO2, which plants convert to O2 and send back to us.

How can you control carbon emissions when we are carbon?

Eventually people will wake up to the fact they are the “carbon” the elites want to decarbonize to meet the true Net Zero goals. They will just the good old biblical methods of war, famine and pestilence, except this time using 21st century technology at global industrial scale.

T H Platt has done a great job of explaining the eco grift in a novel, based around the destruction of the timber industry. A good read and education at rhetorical same time. https://open.substack.com/pub/thedarksideofhungermountain?r=z3b3q&utm_medium=ios
