The thing is, the big shots in the climate cult do listen, and try and shove climate cult policies down the throats of the little people, who are also listening. They just don’t like the policies in practice, knowing how it will hurt their own lives. And, most are tired of the doomy prognostications from people who do not seem to practice what they preach
These Climate Scientists Are Fed Up and Ready to Go on Strike
Sometimes, Bruce C. Glavovic feels so proud to be an environmental scientist, studying coastal planning and teaching future researchers, that it moves him to tears.
Other times, he wonders whether any of it has been enough. Scientists have proved beyond doubt that climate change is transforming the planet for the worse. Yet their work has mostly failed to spur governments to address the issue. When all the signs are telling scientists that their research is not being heard, it is tragic, Dr. Glavovic said, that they just keep producing more of it.
“We’ve had 26 Conference of the Parties meetings, for heaven’s sake,” he said, referring to the United Nations global warming summits. More scientific reports, another set of charts. “I mean, seriously, what difference is that going to make?”
Twenty six, eh? When they all take fossil fueled flights to great vacation spots to push politicians to implement controls on citizens.
It was this frustration that led Dr. Glavovic, 61, a professor at Massey University in New Zealand, and two colleagues to send a jolt recently through the normally cautious, rarefied world of environmental research. In an academic journal, they called on climate scientists to stage a mass walkout, to stop their research until nations take action on global warming.
Who will miss them? People who love doom-mongering? If they stop doing research government won’t give them money, and that’s where the majority of funding is coming from.
Predictably, many researchers balked, calling the idea wrongheaded or worse — “a supernova of stupid,” as one put it on Twitter. But the article gets at questions that plenty of climate scientists have asked themselves lately: Is what we’re doing with our lives really making a difference? How can we get elected officials to act on the threats that we’ve so clearly identified? Do we become activists? Would we sacrifice our credibility as academics, our cool composure, by doing so?
What credibility? They’re simply doom-mongers. What are they doing with their lives? Pushing hyperbolic, over-wrought missives of Coming Doom in an attempt to get governments to take more money from citizens and force citizens to live their lives in a certain way. Authoritarianism. Do they even consider what they’re trying to create?
Dr. Glavovic says he believes a pause on research would give his fellow researchers a chance to think, really think, about how best to use their skills in the slender window humans have left for altering the planet’s trajectory. “The clock is ticking,” he said.
Let’s see all of you stop using fossil fuels and make your own lives “carbon neutral.”
Yes, it is a cult #ClimateCrisisScam https://t.co/z94tdhhbGY

If you have to use the backdrop of war to push your climate beliefs, you’re a cult, an activist, not a scientist.
