Over the past decade, Americans have begun to realize what a con game the climate study industry has played on the American public. Repeatedly we see examples of how climate studies are fabricated to scare the uneducated into buying into draconian climate regulations and huge taxpayer investments in ecological projects that give huge amounts of money to the Democrat elites.
This is all facilitated by the mainstream press that joins this charade by hyping any scientific study that can be used to scare the public into believing that the earth is burning out of control.
A recent example of this behavior occurred in the Nature scientific journal. The scam is always the same. Scientists at Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research published a typical “scare piece” masquerading as a research paper. The scientists projected that climate change would result in $38 trillion in economic damages A YEAR by 2049. This number is so extreme because these activist scientists needed a huge number to justify spending trillions of dollars to slow climate change.
The mafia used to work this way. They would approach a shop owner and remind him that it would cost the owner $200,000 to repair his shop if it caught on fire. If the shop owner would only pay the mafia $2,000 per month they would make sure the business did not burn down.
The climate change charade works the same way. Claim that $38 trillion a year in damages could be avoided by giving a few trillion to the Democrat controlled NGOs to solve the problem.
This time the environmental scammers went too far. Scientists from around the world noted inconsistencies in the data in the study. They also noted problems with the methodology used to reach the outlandish conclusions.
The study was so atrocious that the magazine, Nature, had to retract the study. This is very unusual for a scientific study. This was a huge embarrassment for world-wide governmental agencies that have relied on similar studies to set public policy.
Sadly, in the past these studies were not fact checked as they are today. For years the “climate crisis” industry could publish studies based on weak data and no one in the mainstream media would question the accuracy of the data and the conclusions of the study.
Today, with Artificial Intelligence and a more skeptical public, the scare mongers are being forced to retreat. Even Bill Gates has admitted that climate change will not wipe out civilization. The tide has changed so dramatically that Greta Thunberg has switched from fighting climate change to cheering for Hamas.
