“The UN’s ‘Woke’ Climate Change Propaganda Is An Insult To Science”<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I was always a ‘middle-grounder’, rather than a ‘denier’ \u2013 until I discovered the extent of the dishonesty<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The climate change \u201cemergency\u201d<\/a> is fake news. Many will roll their eyes in exasperation at the conspiratorial bombastry of yet another \u201cdenier\u201d. But for years I have been a plastic recycling, polar bear cooing middle-grounder. In fact, Aristotle would probably turn in his grave at the logical fallaciousness of my long-held presumption that the truth must lie somewhere between those two mutually loathing opposites \u2013 Scepticism and Armageddon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as the doom-mongering acquires the rubber-stamped smell of instutionalised illness, it is impossible to ignore that the \u201cwoke\u201d are the new \u201cslept\u201d \u2013 too deep in their sugar coma of confected hysteria to realise they are being duped by disinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I explain why the climate \u201cemergency\u201d is the most electrifyingly effective propaganda exercise of the 21st century, two clarifications. I have no fight to pick with glaring evidential realities: surface records clearly show the planet is getting warmer<\/a>. Nor do I have a culture war-bloodied axe to grind with the fundamental chemistry: carbon dioxide indisputably contributes to the greenhouse effect<\/a>. But I do take issue with how the mainstream debate has become an insult to both the public\u2019s intelligence and basic science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was clearer than ever two weeks ago, as bureaucratic catastrophists kicked up dystopian dust-clouds on their way into the UN Madrid climate change summit. As Greta Thunberg arrived by yacht<\/a> (after her British skipper likely clocked up 3 tonnes of carbon emissions flying to the US to pick her up), UN Secretary General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres rumbled that, over the horizon, he could see \u201cthe point of no return\u201d. Delegates waved the UN\u2019s latest Emissions Gap Report as if it were both a millenarian death oracle and a methodologically indisputable text; in it, the recommendation to cut emissions by at least 7.6 per cent per year for the next decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
