Deafening Silence Proves They Were Never Serious About Climate Change
The hysteria was really about attention-seeking, says narcissism expert Sam Vaknin. "These are serial activists — victimhood professionals"
Michael Shellenberger
May 14, 2025
 
For the past decade, the Left treated climate change not merely as an environmental concern, but as the looming catastrophe around which all politics, morality, and policy had to revolve. The media described climate change as an existential emergency, a threat not just to polar bears and coastlines but to the very survival of civilization. Democrats and the Left halted pipelines. They banned gas stoves. They mandated electric vehicles. They reshaped global financial markets around emissions. President Joe Biden’s $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act was sold as a historic turning point in the global fight to cut emissions. In 2019, teenagers filled city squares and blocked traffic across continents. Greta Thunberg stood before the United Nations, her voice trembling with fury: “How dare you?” she asked world leaders. “We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. 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

Everytime they board a plane, drive in a car they admit they are not serious about it either

They want to ban my oil heat and my propane grill, but hands off their private jets.

Ban private jets, first class, and business class.  Let the bastids fly coach like the rest of us.

Not really on planes -- they can't stop living and the technology they advocate isn't available to replace airplanes.  Cars, if they're not driving an EV, you have a point.  But what really proves they are not serious is that they are not advocating a crash program to build nuclear reactors (esp. small modular nuclear reactors) for electricity generation, which is the only actually feasible way to "decarbonize" our energy usage.

Bernie is not special ... he's just more equal than others.

Old Bern admits he's too important to travel any other way!
