Decades later, there is still no solid scientific evidence that anthropogenic climate change is real or a bona fide climate condition. There has actually been more scientific substantiation of its fallacy. However, the discipline, irrespective, has been so ingrained and embedded into the communal culture of society, that it is almost impossible to be in opposition.
People, ignorant and often ill-mannered call those who have judged climate change, and its predecessor global warming, deceitful and dishonest, a denier, or a flat-earther. To us, skepticism comes, not from an uninformed belief, but a long-term study of all facets of the manmade climate change claim – this brings into question the science, the politics, the individual politicians, and the parishioners of the climate change cathedral, and the motivations behind them all. They seem to unwittingly generate the BS that we call them out on.
The masses that merely accept climate change as true, are the ones, that my mother would refer to as cliff jumpers - “If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too?” In the case of my writing, I too am jumping off that cliff, hopeful to save a few.
Where the genuine ugliness of the deceit rears its hideous head, is in its heartlessness and callousness towards children. Initially, I link a story from Future Net Zero that starts with, “A new campaign by renewable electricity supplier 100Green shows that children are increasingly worried about the impact of climate change” and, “The campaign follows research by children's charity, Save the Children which found that nearly 70% of the surveyed 3,000 children struggle with climate anxiety.”
Several of my articles describe the illnesses associated with climate anxiety or eco-anxiety and the wide-ranging decay in mental health that ensues – all the way to contemplating suicide.
Linnea Lueken, a Research Fellow with the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy, takes the Future Net Zero article to task, starting her reprisal with, “A post at a UK website Future Net Zero (FNZ) claims that climate change is causing anxiety in children. This is false. Since climate change is not perceptible, and weather isn’t getting more extreme, it can only be the constant stream of media scare stories and schools pushing the false idea that the planet is doomed without immediate climate action that is traumatizing children.”
I link that story here. I encourage readers to review Ms. Leuken’s article.
