For all of this writer’s life and longer, the left in America and across the world have been trying to scare everyone with the mythical ‘climate change’ crisis. In the 70s, the narrative was that we were on the verge of a new ice age. Then, in the 80s, that switched to global warming and that the ozone layer was disintegrating. The goalpost moved once again with Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth in the early 2000s, predicting the global ice caps would be gone and that all of us would be underwater long before today.
None of these predictions came true, of course, but that didn’t stop the left. They adjusted the name to ‘climate change’ and, recently, Bernie Sanders, AOC, John Kerry, and Greta Thunberg have all warned that the Earth will be gone in a decade if we don’t tax everyone much harder.
It has always been a scam. But sadly, that scam infected the American military and intelligence apparatus as well in the 21st century, particularly during the Obama and Biden administrations. For the past several years, intelligence briefings have listed ‘climate change’ among our nation’s top security threats.
