Climate Change Drop off

Saw this today and would like to get your thoughts as this community is committed to battle climate change. I have had my doubts about the climate crisis for sometime but would like to see what you all think.

Scott Adams explores possible reasons why the climate change hysteria has suddenly vanished.
 •It was funded by billionaires for profit, but funding dried up
• AI industry's energy needs overshadow climate concerns
• Greta Thunberg's shift to other causes undermines her climate focus
• Europe's financial woes reveal climate as a "luxury belief"
• All data is fake Which do you think is most likely?

    Who says concern about climate change has vanished?? Not in any world I'm living in, especially with the wildfire danger and destruction increasing constantly, and obvious climate change that is starting decimate local/regional ecosystems. And let's ask Indians how they feel about it, and millions and millions of them are suddenly being displaced by horrific flooding every year, while others there and across the middle east suffer from heatwaves that are making their cities literally uninhabitable. I don't think their "hysteria" has disappeared either.

    Middle East? They live in a Desert for Christ sake. Was there no flooding and no changes in weather throughout  earths history? I think a lot of you have been duped.

    Is that supposed to be funny or what? I assume you have heard of heat? It is getting so hot in many populated places in the middle east that they're becoming uninhabitable. And I'm not about to debate the science of human-caused climate change vs natural climate fluctuation through history with you. That you are bringing up historical climate changes as some kind of proof that humans have had no impact on the current climate crisis tells me that debating it with you is a complete waste of our time.

  • If you’re from the biblical school of thought, there is no climate crisis because man is a product of god and god made the natural environment. As such, man is natural and part of the natural environment, all made by god. Man’s impact on the environment is preordained and god given and endorsed. Going against it is going against God’s will and will result in you going to hell. So, don’t worry about it because god wants this for us.

    Humans have very little to do with climate change if any. You're giving yourself too mush credit. You need to worry about the poles shifting.

    I am not God fearing...You need to fear Ice ages (they really suck because you can't grow anything)  and the Poles shifting (Its over for everyone) . Earth is gonna earth....

    Their is no such thing as "climate change."

    It is all part of a liberal plot to...

    Abort your babies
    Allow more non-white non-Christian people into the country
    Create more govt
    Legalize gay marriage
    Legalize weed
    Raise your taxes
    Take away your guns
    Wokeify the American public

    I always liked Dilbert....I saved some of the comic strips from like 1995 because they related to my work environment so much.

    Scott Adams went total fucking looney tunes at some point though. Total fucking idiot.

    Most of you live in such a bubble. You hear no outside voice on any matter. You think you're always right and are very snotty about it. You sit in your ivory towers and want to make life miserable for everyone becasue you're miserable. Climate Change is/was a money grab and you all got had..Remember all the horror stories good ole Al Gore told that didn't come true? Remember this one? They tried in in 1978 and it didn't work.
