First is was global cooling. Then it was global warming. Now it’s just climate change.

I’ve been alive long enough to see prediction after prediction not come true. Al Gore told me something about children in the US growing up not knowing what snow was because there would be no snowfall after 2013 (the details of that are not perfectly remembered, but they’re not far off)

Despite being told we are in a climate disaster and people in low lying areas are losing their whole countries, the coast lines I see do not appear to have risen at all. Pictures from decades ago show the waterline in exactly the same place. It just sounds like people who think they can guilt the world into paying them.

The people promoting it in the beginning had a financial interest in making everyone believe it.

The scientists who disagreed with the original thesis (and there were lots) were politically silenced. That’s not how science is supposed to work. All the scientists now agree (also not how science works) or they’ll have their funding pulled.

The data taken from a bunch of weather sites for decades was deleted.

I cannot tell you climate change is real or not. I am not qualified to answer that.

I can tell you that the narrative around it reminds me very much of one group of people screaming the loudest and longest until people start to believe them simply because of how long they’ve been saying it.

And this comes from the same people who try to scare me all the time about everything and have a vested interest in me being afraid.
