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?

Global warming alarmism is drying up because one of its biggest money guys, who was on the board of the Sierra Club, just pled guilty to STEALING $248 million dollars.

The only place it exists is in Canada

It’s weird how climate change is stopped by borders

Wrong. Man made climate change is entirely blown out of proportion. The Sun is responsible for all the climate issues we are seeing. Will man have an impact…maybe in about a million years, but, before we abandon common sense we can develop the technology to replace fossil fuels with something truly sustainable. Until then, we are only being stupid trying to get rid of it before anything else is ready.

@jayplemons Did I say the issue doesn’t exist? I said the issue of man made climate change is over exaggerated and so is the governments response. Come off your moral mountain and read what i said.

They've also realized since their awesome and much cherished CENSORSHIP STATE project failed, and they don't have the draconian SPEECH CONTROL they'd planned on to protect their climate change policies... ...the only way they're ever going to get the American public to submit to their agenda is by using terrorism.

Short version: It was an economic/govt scam to drive industry away from petroleum and create new markets not necessarily based on profit.

@claricefeldman7 AI is the big one. Needs all existing capacity now. Nuclear no longer a dirty word. Just peachy. Who will build it? Pay for it? (Already paying for it, electric up 25% over last year). Ever feel like you’re financing your own extinction?

The climate change emperor had no clothes.

I have another theory about this. There's a huge contingent of us that used to be on the left and covid opened our eyes to the nonsense of the experts and many scientists (i.e. the ones being paid to push a certain outcome). After covid, I personally started questioning the climate nonsense and watched many other independent podcasters on the left go through the same journey. I would guess there are a huge number of former believers who blindly followed science who suddenly stopped and said, wait a minute, if they lied about covid, the vax, etc... what else were they lying/being paid to push, etc....

The Democrats lost and could no longer use the government to push their hoax. With no tax money gravy train to plunder, scammers started looking elsewhere.

Here are the actual reasons: -The planet is not too hot, it is too cold. -A warmer earth is not a problem, a colder Earth is. -CO2 is not dangerous and is not a pollutant, it is the essential molecule from which the entire biosphere is constructed. -CO2 in the air is not too high, it is far too low. -Taxing ourselves into poverty will not save the planet, it will lead to greater environmental destruction. -Frozen wastelands are not important for life, they are a catastrophe for life. -There is no place on Earth too hot to survive, but large parts of the planet are deadly cold.

When you predict doom & catastrophe for decades and it never happens, many people wise up to your scam; when you predict lower electricity costs with wind & solar & they skyrocket, people lose faith in your religion.

Time and data caught up to them; one can only say the sky is going to fall in 10 years so many times before 50 years pass, and even the most easily brainwashed can’t unsee the reality that it didn’t. Time is the great levelizer.

Great point! Climate change is only a problem when it’s profitable to be so. Sounds a lot like war. Take away the profitability of war and war will end.

Let’s not forget. It’s no coincidence that these luxury fads have faded with an end to USAID and the funds it provided and the cover it gave to NGOs and others to promote this nonsense.

How about the fact that Antarctic ice is the highest it's been in decades despite supposed continued warming? Or the fact that there was more biodiversity on Earth when atmospheric CO2 was much higher?

I would say that 'funding has dried up' and 'Europe's financial woes' are the most likely. The other ones were never a factor when the fad/grift was active...but the flow of money is pretty decisive.

Greta lost her core audience when she demanded that, to save the planet, women must forego sex toys. 🤡

@mattwridley It’s funded by the government and the money is gone.

They got what they wanted. Billions upon billions of treasury dollars diverted toward initiatives like wind/solar installations. A lot of that money was laundered directly into the bank accounts of those that spread the narrative

@macruadhi They will just gin up another fear based narrative to extract money from governments comprised of politicians they have bought.

I've said that before, which is why Greta no longer screams about climate change and has moved on to Gaza... That's where the big money is.

All of your points are true, but the highest factor for the disappearance of climate change hysteria is that the data isn't accurate and the factors of measurement are not factors that correlate.

The Economist showed us back in April 2020 that after COVID, the climate crisis was next...

All of the above

AI industry is more profitable than climate so the money shifts. If AI will need energy and the climate instigators are invested in solar and wind, well now AI becomes the demand driver. They don't need climate crisis anymore.

With the subsidies easing, the profitability curve bent down — now with “re-industrialization” showing better financial promise. Data has always been fake.

@ScottAdamsSays It was artificially inflated by Democrats for political gain. Democrats know climate is a top concern of their leftwing base. Pure political pandering to the tune of billions.

All data is fake, Constantly adjusted to confirm the narrative.

Science has caught up with it. The Anthropogenic Global Warming / CO2 hypothesis was never supported by robust unadjusted observational data. None of the mathematical / modelling predictions have stood up. It's now pretty well established temperature drives CO2 changes, not the reverse. Natural processes dominate the carbon cycle. Human CO2 signatures are undetectable. Earth is in a CO2 drought rather than the opposite. There is a better understanding now of the real drivers for climate changes; which are orbital variations, fluctuations in solar radiation (etc) and on a longer time scale continental drift.

Canada unfortunately hasn't gotten the message

I feel like Ukraine caused a major shift. There was a huge opening for global scale negative news that only climate change was really competing for. Similarly with Covid. The two events sucked the oxygen out of the room that only climate change was feeding on.

@MatildaMinter Come to Canada abs see our Prime Minister continuing the nonsense.

It was a mass hysteria this whole time, and they almost always die out eventually.

Come on, the data isn't fake. It's "inconclusive" "at this stage," but it's "showing" a "worrying trend" that may "lead" to a "worst-case scenario" if "we" do not "act."

@douglassmackey Censorship-complex simply moved off-shore, mostly UK/Europe. @MikeBenzCyber

I think you hit the nail on the head with AI Scott. I really do. I cannot believe the amount of data necessary to complete AI architecture. I live here in Northern Virginia, and the data warehouses are colossal. Very antiquated word but the only one I can use to describe the immensity of the structures they have built.
