We have had a cold summer. We have an early autumn. The North has had a cold winter. And Greenpeace bleats about global warming, just as they did about global cooling in the 1970s.
Global warming is not only no longer happening, it is not likely to resume until 2025 or later, if then. So why are we continuing to hear so much doomsaying about climate change?
There are a lot of people in every age who think they know better than everyone else and, therefore, have a right to tell everyone how to live. In the 1950s, it was country-club and parish council busybodies with their strict moral codes. In the 1970s, it was social democrats with their fanciful economic theories. Today, it’s environmentalists.
Yep, it’s about fear and control. Instead of “Let not your hear be troubled…” we are told to be troubled, and make the puritans look like pikers to save the earth.
Which does not need saving.
