Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well.
So, climate change activism is all the rage.
At the September 20th strikes for climate change, about
four million people in 150 countries went on “strike” for climate
change.
Also, the United National general Assembly Climate Summit
took place on September 23 in New York, where world leaders came
together to discuss the predicament of the planet, and just what we
should all do about it.
As I’m sure you all know, the climate strikes were inspired by sixteen-
year-old climate activist, Swedish Greta Thunberg and her School
Strike for Climate Change.
She also spoke at the UN climate summit, delivering an impassioned speech which had
her holding back what looked like tears of anger.
She was even filmed giving Donald Trump a filthy look when he turned up at the summit
I don’t think he saw it though, and if he did, I don’t think
he’d care.
Now, on the surface, this activism seems all well and good.
I mean, it’s common sense to want to protect the
environment.
And what better than people exercising their right
to free speech by gathering in peaceful protest for a cause that matters
to them?
I am all for all of that.
However, despite their presentation as the enlightened class who are
willing to sacrifice life and limb to save the world, climate change
activists, or more to the point, climate change alarmists, often have a
sinister ulterior motive, or total lack of empathy, or both, which they
hide under the mantle of “working for the common good”.
See, many of these activists are actually extremists, who are violently
opposed to considering anyone else’s views, and will go to any
lengths to implement what they believe is the correct way of doing
things.
There is a very Machiavellian streak to them that is often
ignored by the media, which is not surprising since the mainstream
media is full of climate change alarmists posing as journalists.
So, having observed the past six months or so of climate change
activists, from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Greta Thunberg
to the Extinction Rebellion protestors in Brisbane, Australia who lay
on their backs and glued their hands to the road in the middle of the
city to protest the Adani coal mine, I’ve decided to sit down and take
stock of this group of people who are becoming increasingly, dare I
say it, radicalised.
Now, to be very very clear, this video is NOT about my opinion on
climate change, or whether or not climate change exists.
I am not a denier or a sceptic, I am a climate centrist
who is interested in and willing to listen to all sides of the argument
so we can come to the best possible solution.
I’m not pushing any agenda here.
All I want to do is highlight the fact that many of those who claim to be acting
in good faith, and purely for the good of the planet, are in actual
fact doing no such thing.
I don’t like extremism, or radicalism, or
alarmism, no matter where or who it comes from, children included.
I especially dislike tribalism and cultish, doomsday prophesying.
All of which is characteristic of today’s climate
change activist movement.
So, I’m going to do what I do best, and call them out.
Or at least start to; I think this might be two videos worth.
If you’d like me to further drag the bad behaviour of climate change alarmists,
let me know in the comments, because trust me, I am more
than happy to do so.
One of the most glaring issues with this group of ideologues is their
do as I say, not as I do attitude, especially among the wealthy ones.
Which is a lot of them, actually; radical climate change activists can
often afford the consequences of radical climate change action.
See, they tend be from the “progressive” class, who, according to a
2018 study of America’s political landscape called Hidden Tribes, are
the most likely political tribe to be earning a salary of $100,000 USD
or more.
As such, they can afford the higher power prices that come with
renewable energy.
They can afford to have their incomes slashed in
half by taxes and not lose any quality of life.
And for those young people who are part of the climate alarmist
ranks, they’re often university students who expect to be taken
care of by the state anyway.
Or, in the case of Greta Thunberg and her adolescent-led climate
movement, children and teenagers whose parents feed them and
pay the bills.
None of these activists have any concept of the
ramifications of large-scale climate change action.
As the gilet jeune, or yellow vests protestors in France said of
Macron and his cronies when they proposed a fuel tax, the elites are
thinking about the end of the world, whereas the yellow vests and
those they represent are thinking about the end of the month.
Nevertheless, the global elites tend to sneer the little people who
point this out to them, and continue to preach about “doing better”.
Which would be fine, if they all did better themselves.
But a lot of the time, they don’t.
Take, for example, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are well known for their
opining about climate change.
Which is why so many eyebrows were raised last month
when it emerged that Harry, Meghan, and their little son Archie had
taken four private jets in an eleven-day period.
Now, private jets emit more tons of carbon dioxide per person than
your average commercial flight.
Their first trip is estimated to have generated about six times more carbon dioxide
per person than a scheduled flight.
The second trip generated an estimated seven times more.
And while it was explained away as serving the family’s unique
security needs, that excuse came crashing down when, days later,
Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their little ones Prince George
and Princess Charlotte, took a commercial flight, Loganair to be
precise, to Scotland and back.
True also of the do as I say not as I do attitude are the celebrities
who attended the fabled annual “Google summer camp”, a celebrity
summit held at the Verdura Resort in Sicily to discuss the dangers of
climate change.
The A-listers only three-day congregation is organised by Google co-
founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and the guest list included, as
well as Prince Harry, Barack Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Katy
Perry to name a few.
However, it seems that, like Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle, these global elites have a little trouble practicing
what they preach.
The Italian press reported that 114 private jets were expected to
show up to the resort, which would have projected 100,000 tons of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Along with the gas guzzling private jets were a number of gas guzzling
private yachts.
You can see how this stuff leaves a bit of a bad taste
in the mouths of your average Joe or Jolene, right?
Not very motivating.
Then of course, there was the recent 2020 Democrats steak fry in
Polk County, Iowa, in which seventeen of the 2020 candidates took
part in frying 10,500 steaks.
Participants included Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren,
Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar.
The thing is, this jolly occasion comes after weeks of climate change
doomsday prophesying from the Democrats, including from the
candidates in attendance.
Yang stated at CNN’s 7-hour climate change town hall that “it’s good
for the environment, it’s good for your health if you eat less meat.”
Harris and Klobuchar have both supported reshaping dietary
guidelines to encourage less consumption of red meat, and Harris
even suggested putting climate impact labels on food.
Bernie Sanders signalled that he supported the idea of a “meat tax”
to lower meat consumption in order to tackle climate change, while
Beto and Buttigieg have both supported a carbon tax to balance
emissions from the meat industry.
And yet there they are, with their big smiling faces, frying up 10,500 steaks.
Okay then.
Another very large problem with climate ideologues is their
unashamed abuse of children.
I’m guessing most of you are familiar with Greta Thunberg.
Just a few months ago, she was a lone teenager sitting outside the front of Swedish
parliament buildings every Friday to “strike” for climate change
action.
Fast forward, and she’s leading a global movement of young people
and talking to world leaders about her list of climate demands.
Only, Greta isn’t driven just by youthful vigour
and innocent teenage idealism; she is, very regrettably, driven
by a sense of genuine fear and panic, that she is more than happy to
project onto everyone else This constant state of terror she lives in
is very much in part because of her history of mental and neurological
health problems.
She has autism and Asperger’s, she has a history
of depression, and anxiety, she has OCD, she had an anxiety-induced eating
disorder at the age of eleven, and she also has selective mutism.
Now, ordinarily, a girl
with that kind of mental health rap sheet would be protected from
this climate alarmism.
She would be counselled out of her fear and worry to ensure she can
enjoy some quality of life.
Instead, she is being indulged and exploited by adults who should know better
as a convenient mascot for climate change activism.
Why?
Because she is a teenager, and girl, and she has Asperger’s.
This makes it very very difficult for opponents to criticise her ideas
and actions, lest they be accused of attacking a child.
As this very sensible person put it
When you can’t defend your position, march children onto the front lines
and dare your opponents to attack them.
However, it isn’t just Greta’s mental health that has induced the
constant state of terror she lives in.
It is also because she is only sixteen, and does not yet have a fully developed
human brain or adult sense of perspective.
This is why we don’t allow children and teens below eighteen to vote.
With very few exceptions, they are not fully equipped to rationalise
information and stimuli they receive as either fact or hyperbole.
And given the fact adult climate change alarmists
have very deliberately upped their rhetoric over the past year, it’s
no wonder more and more children and teens are running spooked
by the alarmist nature of what they are being fed.
For example, in May this year, The Guardian updated its house style
guide in terms of how it reports on climate change.
In order to make everything seem more catastrophic, the phrase
“climate change” is to be swapped for climate emergency, climate
crisis, or climate breakdown.
Global warming is now to be known as global heating, and the term
climate sceptic is to be abolished and everyone who is not an
alarmist is to be called a climate denier.
Anyway, this rhetoric from the Guardian is mirrored by other media outlets,
celebrities, politicians, even the Pope.
Now, if you’re an adult hearing this stuff, you have the capacity to
sift through it, and work out whether the people saying this are
trying to push an agenda or get a response.
However, a kid, Aspergers or not, is generally unable to do
that because they don’t have the life experience or healthy cynicism
that comes with adulthood.
As such, if you tell a kid that the world is going to end in 12 years, or
that the planet is going to die and we’re all going to be underwater
or the earth is burning…they will genuinely believe those things.
They take everything very very literally, and that kind of language
understandably terrifies them.
This is not speculation.
The Climate Psychology Alliance, or CPA, who are a group of psychologists working with
the University of Bath, have reported an increasing number of children
suffering from “eco- anxiety”.
The symptoms mirror chronic anxiety, but are, of course, caused by
the existential terror these children are feeling over the perceived
threat of climate change.
The group feels so strongly about this that they are campaigning for anxiety caused by
fear for the future of the planet to be officially recognised as a psychological
phenomenon.
In fact, symptoms in some children are so profound that the CPA
reported they needed psychiatric drugs.
And all because a bunch of ideologically driven, irresponsible adults
can’t be bothered to find a child-friendly way of explaining themselves.
And even if they could be bothered, they won’t, because it’s far too
convenient for them to have little adolescent foot soldiers towing
the line, ready to pick up the extremist mantle when they mature.
I hate to sound like a cliché, but all I can
say is
Whether climate alarmists intended to terrify children into a state of
clinical anxiety to the point where they need psychiatric drugs I don’t
know, but I’m guessing the most sociopathic of them view it as a
happy accident.
And they would be loving the fact Greta Thunberg has further added to the hysteria by getting
up at the UNGA Climate Summit and doing this
Well, as a few people have said, she’s right about a couple of things.
Yes, she shouldn’t be up there, and yes, adults have stolen her
dreams and her childhood…just not in the way she thinks they have.
This is nowhere near the extent of the bad behaviour of climate
change alarmists.
We haven’t even got to the economic ulterior motive driving the most Machiavellian of them…so
stay tuned for my next video.
It’s going to be wild.
