I wonder if that is what Times writer Matthew T Huber was going for
DAVID MARCUS: New York Times announces the end of the climate change hoax
For almost the entirety of the half century I have lived on Earth, I have had experts, teachers, politicians and activists hectoring me about how climate change is going to destroy the planet. But this week, in The New York Times, of all places, is evidence that climate alarmism is finally cooling down.
“Democrats Do Not Have To Campaign On Climate Change Anymore,” blared the headline, this week, as author Matt Huber argues that voters are rather turned off by the subject. I would like to suggest that this is because it is the single most expensive lie in human history.
In elementary school, I endured warnings of a coming ice age, then by high school it was global warming that was minutes away from ending humanity. By the time I was an adult, the warming having failed, surprisingly, to occur, we settled on “climate change,” as the vague name for the inevitable apocalypse.
In 2018, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was coming into prominence, she told us that we had a mere 12 years to fix the climate problem or we would all die. In that time, untold trillions of dollars have been spent by the government, along with basically every business in the country, to hold the weather at bay, even though every prediction the alarmists have made has fallen flat.
Let’s flip over to that Times piece
Sam Forstag, a Democrat running for Congress in Montana, is in many ways a familiar kind of progressive: He is a union worker calling for taxing the rich and expanding Medicare for all Americans.
But there’s one topic he appears to avoid, in his platform and in public forums. When asked recently about the growing threat of wildfires and drought in the West, he discussed a terrible ski season and record-high temperatures, but did not name the climate crisis directly.
The Democratic U.S. House candidates Trey Martin, a union ironworker in Oklahoma, and Chris Reichard, an electrician and veteran running in Missouri, are also steering somewhat clear of what was once a centerpiece of many progressive political campaigns. Even in a blue district in Minnesota, Kaela Berg, a Democratic state legislator who works as a flight attendant, only mentions climate change briefly on her congressional campaign website, linking it to bringing down energy costs.
For the past several months, Democratic elites have been debating how much to talk about climate change, if at all — in part because these new candidates have narrowed their focus to energy affordability to win back the working class. It is a striking shift from a few years ago, when many Democratic politicians thought the promise of a Green New Deal would build a coalition based on green jobs and fighting inequality.
Here’s the thing which is being missed by those proclaiming the end of the climate scam cult: it’s not going anywhere. They’re simply keeping quiet about it to win an election. And then it will come right back up, especially if they win the White House in 2028 and control Congress. It’s not about the climate, it’s about power, money, and control. Democrats will never give up on that.
The voters who already prioritize climate action are firmly in the Democratic camp and highly educated and affluent, or as the economist Thomas Piketty calls them, the “Brahmin Left.” What candidates like Mr. Forstag, Mr. Reichard and Ms. Berg seem to understand is that for blue-collar voters, energy is an “end of the month” issue, and affordability should be the overarching policy goal. This is all the more important today, given rising electricity rates and war-fueled spikes in gasoline prices.
In other words, Democrats think the blue collars are big dummies, so, they must be patronized and lied to. Heck, even a barista at Starbucks thinks they are “highly educated and affluent”, even though they offer little of value, unlike folks doing your plumbing and AC. Fixing your cars. Growing your food. And Democrats hate them.
The Progressive Left turning cities into toxic sh*th*les, and the sobbing over the fact that the world is turning into a toxic sh*th*le.
It’s just so easy for people who don’t have concerns about how they’re going to put food on the table this evening to whine about people who do have those concerns being less worried about the temperature 74 years from now.
In one year Mad King Donny has hurt the people concerned with putting food on the table this evening most of all. It’s why his favorability is in the 30s.
But Mr Dana does recognize, if obliquely, a huuuuge problem. The working class is having a hard time making ends meet, much less improving the standard of living.
“Fortunately”, our billionaires and multi-millionaires are doing better than ever! Bezos, Elon, Lutnick, Kushner and his felon father, trumps, Bessent, Huang, Ellison, Buffett, Gates, Zuck, Stephens, Fertitta, Witkoff, Loeffler, Witkoff, Burgum, etc are making mo’ money hand over fist!
For decades, “our” government has been in the business of redistributing wealth from the working class to plutocrat (political donor class). Policies on taxes!!, labor vs capital, trade, pensions, insurance, healthcare, foreign policy… The proof of the pudding is in the tasting… the rich are getting richer (even faster than global warming!) while the workers are treading water and drowning.
But the white-wing applauds punishing Hispanic vegetable pickers and roofers, African-Americans, women, the working poor, LGBTQs…
Enjoy your useless idiocy…
Enjoy your $5 gas. Your Daddy Donny has your back, LOL.
It’s temporary Dipshjt… You Commies are trying to paint a two month conflict with Iran as a “forever” war… The Vietnam War lasted 19 years… Give it a damn minute…
Inventing crisis for the sake of scaring the population is not a blue collar job. We deal in REALITY.
The excitable Teach typed: “Here’s the thing which is being missed by those proclaiming the end of the climate scam cult: it’s not going anywhere.”
Relax, William! You’ve won he political fight, which is all that counts. True, global warming is NOT going away!! But, you elected the hyper-ignorant King Donny the First. We humans will continue to convert the carbon in oil, gas and coal into carbon dioxide at an unprecedented rate which will continue to warm our only atmosphere. Infrared radiation (IR) from Earth is intercepted by CO2 molecules in our atmosphere which blocks some of the IR’s trip to outer space, hence global warming. Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know!
LOL. Donny’s Band o’ MAGAt Boyz (D’BOMB) are worried about a 10 cent increase in gas prices to slow global warming but ignore Donny’s 30% increase in gas to 1) help elect Repubicuns in 2026 and 2) to distract from Donny’s other peccadilloes. You are in a cult.
MAGAts worry about added costs to address climate change but ignore inflation caused by war, tariffs, graft and grift. You make no sense and worse, you lie to yourselves.
No matter how snotty and childish Rimjob’s remarks are to the contrary, the point being made is that there isn’t a crisis.
most polls put Republican belief in climate change at over 50%
Independents at about 70%
That was from UChicago.edu Flat Earth believers 10%
BigFoot believers 20%
Climate change deniers 30%
IPCC models of sea level rise since 2007 have been quite consistent and accurate
IPCC temp estimates have slightly UNDERESTIMATED the increase.
All of that info is easily accessible although absent from this blog. which would rather highlight Greta’s instagram account.
Teach will point out 46 SCIENTISTS ASSOCIATED9/0 WITH IPCC DISPUTE IPCC FINDINGS
while neglecting to point out the context of that number. Over 650 will be presenting papers at this years IPCC
when you read something you want to believe about climate change, do you fact check it?
In my philosophy class on critical thinking we are advised to check everything to avoid confirmation bias
In my philosophy class on critical thinking we are advised to check everything to avoid confirmation bias
Too bad you don’t follow that advice, johnnie boy.
Climate change belief is directionally proportional to educational attainment levels.
Funny how All the Communist politicians who claim “global warming” / “Climate Change” will cause the oceans to rise causing massive flooding, all have beach front property along the coasts.
If what they claimed was true, you couldn’t get a home loan or flood insurance along the coast line…
10 times the so-called ‘experts’ predicted the world would have already ended by now.
Please name the communist politicians with beach front properties. Thanks.
Ask Floridians about home loans and flood insurance.
Please name the experts who predicted the world would have ended by 2026. Thanks.
Were you born this stupid or do you have to work at it?
Obutthole, Resident Auto Pen, John Kerry, Nasty Pelosi a practically every other Communist has beach front property.
Floridians wouldn’t be able to get home loans or flood insurance if cataclysmic flooding were predicted due to “climate change”… That was my point dumb A S S.
10 times the so-called ‘experts’ predicted the world would have already ended by now.– Fox News 3/19/2019.
I was born this way. What is your excuse?
President Obama’s house in MA is on a ridge at least 30 feet above a “beach”.
President Biden’s second house in Rehoboth is on a beach.
Secretary Kerry’s second house at Martha’s Vineyard is over 100 feet above sea level.
Where is Speaker Pelosi’s “beach” house?
On the other hand, Demented Donny’s Mars-a-Lardo estate is only a few feet over high tide level. Recall too that Donny’s Irish golf resort at Doonbeg “proposed a large-scale, two-mile-long armor stone wall, citing erosion from “more extreme Atlantic storms and sea level rise”.
funny how climate change deniers are so often misinformed
Obama has “beachfront ” property, but it is 200 feet from the beach and 15′ above high tide. that should be A Ok for 100 years, well beyond his lifespan
Al Gore? his house is about 500 feet above current sea level. Biden? he didn’t have enough money to buy beachfront.
Your Daddy’s comments are typical of misinformed climate change deniers
It’s not about the climate… It’s about power and control… And another scare tactic to raise money from useless idiots. Fear sells…
The “environment” by definition, is everything around you…
The Communists know that if they can control environmental policy, they can control everything around you through judicial activism and Commie regulations…?
Conspiracy theories abound!!
Here’s one: Iran was 2 weeks from having nuclear armed ICBMs to destroy the western world so the U.S. needs $2 billion a day to stop ’em, $1.5 trillion next year and a $1 billion East Wing bunker to protect Mr trump. Fear sells. Did you know the trump lads are in the defense industry now??
The atmosphere continues to warm, although most of the warming is absorbed by our oceans. Thank the gods that they created the “high specific heat” of H2O!!
You truly are stupid.
Once the Obutthole/Biden Communist regimes forced the good, God loving, patriots out of the federal agencies they lowered the standards and qualifications and replaced them with like minded “woke” CommuNuts who will carryout their agenda.
This is a Communist tactic known as “entry”… A changing of the guard, so to speak.
It’s not just the top tier of every federal agency… It’s the low level Communist operatives working quietly and unnoticed behind the scenes.
Many of Obutthole and Auto Pen’s bureaucrats remain in place. President Trump should have done a complete overhaul and gotten rid of all the CommuNuts.
Just to prove my point: The Communist bureaucrats can wait out the president unless he fires them…
They have the ability to slow-walk or even ignore Trump’s directives…
Case in point:
In 2019, when President Trump ordered John Brennan’s security clearance be revoked, the Deep State Communist bureaucrats simply ignored Trump’s order.
Rand Paul: Deep State Ignored Order to Pull John Brennan’s Security Clearance– Breitbart 6/5/19
Also, Rand Paul: The Deep State Is Protecting Their Own, Not Listening To President’s Orders. — Real Clear Politics 6/5/19.
Rimjob already admitted he was born stupid.
Many of our conspiracy “theories” have turned out to be real conspiracies…
The 2020 coup for instance.
By the way, if we would have claimed just six years ago that “doctors” would be mutilating our children’s genitals, and that, judges, teachers, and government officials would be telling our children that boys can be girls and girls can be boys, you same Communist pukes would have labeled us conspiracy theorists… Yet, here we are.
The climate has been changing since the beginning. Whose SUV caused the glaciers to melt?
I endured warnings of a coming ice age, then by high school it was global warming that was minutes away
But they never admit they were Wrong.
Your Daddy is living his life in fear.
It’s amusing to read of debate about climate change. Of course the climate is changing. How could it not change? Virtually all natural systems change. The issue is Whats driving it. I seriously doubt plant food like CO2 is at fault especially because we know so little about solar cycles. It’s hard to believe a government that cant stop spam calls could control the weather if only we’d pay more taxes.

have you an alternative reason why the climate is warmimg so fast? When the Ice Age was ending it tool over 1000 years to warm 2 C. it is warming 10x as fast now.
Most recent kwh contract price for renewable electricity is 8/9 cents per kwh.
How much do you pay?
anybody want to fact check David Marcus?
he is almost 50 born after 1978. Elementary school say 198. By 1986 Ronald Regan was president and warning us not of snowball Earth but instead Regan was warning us of carbon pollution due to burning fossil fuels. Dude can’t even keep his own dates accurate.
Teach remembers 1986 and remembers the warnings of Reagan but chooses not to remember them
