This grinds my gears so fucking hard because I remember that climate change was supposed to start destroying the world by this time. In the 90's and 2000's, all the "scientists" assured us we would start seeing the effects by the mid-2020's. They really amped this propaganda up in the 2010's. Now it's the mid 2020's and there ain't shit going on.
What's even worse is I don't even necessarily disagree with all the prescriptions of environmentalists: renewable energy is worth developing (even if it's not perfect right now) and we should curb pollution because the improvement in air quality alone over the past three decades has had clear positive effects. The problem is these morons committed lock, stock, and barrel to the doomsday narrative, which will undoubtedly destroy legitimate environmental causes in the near future.
The thing is that pollution, in any serious way, was already eliminated for all intents and purposes from western industry once CFCs were banned. The one thing you can NEVER eliminate? Carbon.
Once the ozone layer healed itself, which we were all told was impossible by the same scientists, the goalpost moved to carbon dioxide. If you can't remove CO2 from industrial outputs, how do you solve that? by reducing industrial activity.
If western nations can't build new factories and have to shut down existing ones, how does shit get made?
The two biggest nations guilty of pollution, India and China, were somehow exempted from all climate agreements. Some parts of China, the citizens wear respiratory masks 75% of the time due to the air being so poisonous, but that is the only place you can make shit anymore. India, if it wasn't full of retards, would have become a massive economic power due to being able to build factories that had no handcuffs on them, but jeets gonna jeet, and China accounts for the bulk of global production of manufactured goods.
If you look into the main drivers of climate policy, people like Maurice Strong come up. The guy was a Pierre Trudeau lackey, and infamously once outlined a scenario he advocated for the UN to take over all governments at gunpoint like a fucking James Bond villain scheme.
Carbon Dioxide reduction has ALWAYS been a front for global wealth redistribution. Three decades of a hypothesis being wrong should never happen, let alone with constant doubling down on the disproved theory.
