Essay by Eric Worrall

A group of psychologists have claimed fear drives deniers to reject the truth. But they ignore evidence academic groupthink hysteria is the real “climate crisis”.

Time to freak out? How the existential terror of hurricanes can fuel climate change denial

As TVs across Florida broadcast the all-too-familiar images of a powerful hurricane headed for the coast in early October 2024, people whose homes had been damaged less than two weeks earlier by Hurricane Helene watched anxiously. Hurricane Milton was rapidly intensifying into a dangerous storm, fueled by the Gulf of Mexico’s record-breaking temperatures.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So the deniers have not learned the lesson of the Kobayashi Maru? Or have we just recognized the fear mongering for what it is?

FACT MATTER!!!

The only scientists I have heard claim climate change is a hoax.   That there are 32 different models for climate change, 32 countries, each with their own, and only one is correct.  The rest have ASSUMPTIONS in their models which are fraught with error.

The only folks espousing climate change are stinking, lying politicians, i.e. Al Gore, and that idiot girl from Sweden.  I have NEVER heard a scientist that supports the notion of climate change.  NOT ONE!!!

BTW, the model that is correct indicates that climate change is NOT AN ISSUE!!!  According to what sounded like a credible scientist!

Idiots from Hollywood need to focus on their craft, which has been making garbage for 30 years.  I can only think of two movies I would ever watch again made in the last 25-30 years.  TWO MOVIES!!!  The rest are at best mediocre, or outright crap!!
