The Childish Climate
I have consistently written on the child abuse associated with the unrelenting and ruthless marketing of anthropogenic climate change. Children are becoming horrified by a grotesquely imaginary world callously created and crafted by adults using an unproven theory for political and personal gain.
During a climate change trial pitting several youths against the US Government, known as “Juliana v. United States”, expert testimony by Lise Van Susteren, a clinical psychiatrist, typified standard evidence of this type which precludes any physical or psychological injury by a modification or revision in weather or climate.
In the linked article Judith Curry, an American climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology writes, “The apocalyptic and misleading rhetoric in the media and political discourse about climate change is arguably the driving impetus of these adverse psychological health effects”.
With all cases such as this, as well as reports and advanced studies, anthropogenic climate change is assumed and deemed a conclusive concept despite consistent and continuing evidence to the contrary. Subsequently lawyers, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers will unite to make a dubious abstraction a lucrative, money-making venture.
This is effectively psychological “ambulance-chasing” based on a hypothetically concocted accident.
Here is a list of others that benefit significantly from the selling and promotion of climate change:
Proponent researchers receive more funding, and the scope of the research can expand scientific orthodoxy as long as it’s rooted in climate change advocacy;
The various forms of media can accentuate sales thereby increasing advertising and subscription revenues;
Environmental and activist groups receive more funding and donations;
Politicians can receive attention and notoriety for providing funding and in turn anticipate continuing acquisition of votes; and
Governments now have the ability to secure additional funding through carbon taxes, climate-action taxes, regulatory licensing and numerous other schemes.
You will note in this list that a monetary gain is the root of every motivation.
Of course, the greatest beneficiary of the climate change hypothesis is China, or more precisely the Chinese Communist Party. As western politicians terminate fossil fuels, which in turn stagnates domestic manufacturing, China with an ever-increasing inventory of coal plants, is the epicenter for manufacturing and export to the west.
Naturally, for purely economic reasons and rationale China is a cheerleader for the west’s increasing satiation of the climate change message. The world’s leaders seem to misconstrue that the air we breathe is global and that the oil and gas extracted is from the same planet. Or at least they persistently disguise that fact from their citizenry.
Besides the beneficiaries that profit from climate marketing, there are the instructors of children and young adults at every level, who, in the broad majority, identify as progressive and champion climate change at every opportunity. In a recent high school survey, conducted by the Washington Post, there were 87 Democrat teachers for every 13 Republican teachers. The latter only had more teachers in the math and science departments. In an upper academia poll of tenured college professors, Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 10 to 1 – in another survey Democrats tallied a total of 87% of all professorships. Thier propagandizing of youth is purposefully done so they bring the implanted message home to adults.
Is the instructional partisanship working? In a worldwide survey of 10,000 children conducted by The Lancet in December of 2021, over one-half were convinced that humanity was doomed as a result of climate change. As Judith Curry concludes, “It is difficult to avoid concluding that children are being used as tools in adults’ political agenda surrounding climate change. This tooldom is having adverse impacts on the mental health of children and young adults.”
