By JOHN H. COCHRANE – The Grumpy Economist

Excerpt:

Three excellent essays last month point to a turning point in climate with, I think, a broad political ramification. As people come to the realization that this boy shouted wolf once again, that this emperor has no clothes, that climate change though real is not the civilization-threatening disaster pitched at Davos, Paris, and the media, that hugely expensive climate policies do no good, they will just add one more notch to their view that the elite consensus has been disastrously wrong and politicized about just about everything, and one more impetus to our current global rightward political lurch into the unknown.

The essay that motivates this post is a surprise admission from the New York Times that not all is well, in the form of a magazine article by David Wallace-Wells. Yes search “climate” on the New York Times website, as I did to find the story, and you will be served up the usual sludge of misleading catastrophism. (“Wildfire Smoke Will Kill Thousands More by 2050, Study Finds. Pollution from fires, intensified by rising temperatures, is on track to become one of America’s deadliest climate disasters”; “Can Hybrid Grapes Solve the Climate Change Dilemma for Wine Makers?”; “The Trump Administration Is Dismantling Climate Policies… it flatly denies the science.”;…) But you will also be served this thoughtful essay. When the church starts to doubt the catechism, you know the game is up.

The way we were

Wallace-Wells does a good job reminding us just how the center of opinion has shifted in 10 years, and how weird 10 years ago looks to us now.

The NY Slimes supports just about everything harmful to the US.     Just like democrats!  Is there a connection?

Many of us have been saying this for years. There are 3 questions that the left refuses to answer.
1) Is it getting warmer? ( objectively probably not)
2)Is it man made?   (man's contribution is minuscule)
3) Is there anything we can do about it?  (nothing that will have an impact)

Long before the Industrial revolution, we had a mini ice age and we came out of it without any intervention by man. It is hubris to think that man can control the weather on a macro level...

Wasn't it Time magazine that told us in the 70s that a new Ice Age was upon us???
When they tell us the " science is settled". That is not how science advances. The paradigm shifts when the facts don't fit the theory. Unfortunately the left has blinders on when the facts don't fit their bogus theory....
