For a bit of lighthearted fun, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to revisit the fevered writings of climate activists at the outset of President Trump’s return to the White House. The following piece offers a look at their rhetoric, anxieties, and calls to “resistance” as they geared up to face what they saw as an existential threat—not to their policy agenda, but to the planet itself. No need to bring popcorn; the drama is provided free of charge.
https://atmos.earth/advice-from-climate-experts-as-trump-is-sworn-in/The spectacle put on by the climate activist class at the dawn of Trump’s second term reads like the world’s most sanctimonious comic opera, except with less self-awareness and worse writing. With Trump about to retake the White House, the self-styled “climate movement” braced for what they saw as an apocalypse, as if Washington D.C. had just installed the Antichrist instead of a guy who likes golf and cheeseburgers. The amount of catastrophism, virtue signaling, and emotional histrionics on display in “Advice From Climate Experts as Trump Is Sworn In” deserves its own spot in the Smithsonian—right next to the collection of failed doomsday predictions and broken hockey-stick graphs.
From the opening paragraph, we’re treated to the familiar drama: “Donald Trump will be marching back into the White House today. Against the backdrop of the raging and deadly Los Angeles wildfires, his proposed environmental policies feel especially alarming”. That’s right, wildfires have become a spiritual weather-vane for these folks. Any natural disaster is immediately a sign of climate Armageddon—never mind that the U.S. had wildfires, droughts, and floods long before the first coal-fired plant or that, for most of recorded history, the forests of California burned whether humans wanted them to or not.
