See, people are getting sick (not many), people are scared (a lot), so, hey, it’s time for the doomsday cult to do their thing
Blog: Humanity must unite to beat coronavirus and climate change
The Coronavirus pandemic will have a huge global impact in 2020, not only on health and well-being, but also on our societies, economies and politics.
It is worth thinking through what the impact of the pandemic may be on climate change and climate actions – in terms of emissions, global and national politics, and social change. (snip)
If handled badly, the pandemic could suck the energy out of public action and public policy as prosperity declines. Governments will need to provide stimulus to economies that suffer from the impact of the coronavirus.
One way could be to fund elements of the green transition, thereby creating jobs. Helping economies and societies that suffer to recover and start the shift to a low emissions future is a way to meet both short and long-term social needs.
Governments need to respond effectively and fast to the coronavirus. That could distract attention and divert resources away from focusing on the climate crisis in the short term. (snip)
Perhaps the pandemic will produce changes that make societies more willing to act on the climate crisis in the long run. Strengthening recognition of our interdependence – that everyone’s health is everyone else’s business – could strengthen the understanding that compassion and empathy are functional traits for humanity.
This is not some random small blog like mine: this is from the Red Cross Red Crescent’s climate center website, which seems to be hoping for Doom in order to push ‘climate change’ policy, which is a push for a massive government dominated and controlled society.

Governments have ‘historic opportunity’ to accelerate clean energy transition, IEA says
Political and financial leaders have “a historic opportunity†to usher in a new era for global climate action with economic stimulus packages to confront the coronavirus pandemic, the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) has said.
In an interview with Climate Home News on Tuesday, Fatih Birol said stimulus packages to prop up economic recovery marked a critical moment for governments to “shape policies†in line with climate action.
“I am talking with several governments and international financial institutions leaders because they are all busy designing stimulus programmes for the economy – the plans they will put together will be extremely important,†he said.
“This is the reason I am telling them that we can use the current situation to step up our ambition to tackle climate change.â€
