Earth Day Climate Hysterics Ignore Failed Predictions of the Past; Insist AGAIN We're All Going to Die Without a Carbon Tax!

Nearly every year for 30 years they've said we have only ten years to save the planet.  I guess these alarmists aren't very good at math. 

Earth Day in the U.S. came and went this week with barely a whimper.  However, in the United Kingdom climate hysterics have spent the week tying up traffic, thus driving up carbon emissions, and doing other insane things. One woman even glued her breasts to the sidewalk to stop traffic.  What some lefties will do for attention!

In the U.S. the obligatory scaremongering "news" stories suddenly leapt to the front of Google newsfeeds. I noticed this one on the top of my phone's feed:

We're losing the war on climate change
Analysis by John D. Sutter, CNN

...[T]he scale of the outrage in no way matches the magnitude of this disaster, which, like WWII, threatens to cripple or even obliterate human life on the planet as we know it.

We've known the truth about climate change -- that people are burning fossil fuels and warming the atmosphere, with potentially catastrophic consequences -- for decades now. James Hansen testified about the dangers of global warming when he was an NASA scientist in 1988. The New York Times headline: "Global Warming Has Begun, Expert Tells Senate."

Since then, the eco-woke among us have created more than enough deadlines to try to force change. In 1990, as George Marshall wrote in his book "Don't Even Think About It," the magazine Ecologist published a book called "5,000 Days to Save the Planet." About 5,000 days later, the Institute for Public Policy Research declared that there were "Ten Years to Save the Planet." In 2008, he wrote, the New Economics Foundation said it was "100 Months to Save the World."

ALL of those dire deadlines to save the planet have come and gone and we are still here. All that scaremongering that human life would be "obliterated" was just so much hot air. The "eco woke" have been wrong every single time. But that doesn't stop them from continuing the scare campaign.

The Chicken Little "sky is falling" routine is nothing new for climate hysterics. There's a history there that goes back to 1864:

155 years later and we're still here.

CNN's Sutter ignored Al Gore's declaration of a "planetary emergency" in 2006 in which he repeated again that we had ten years before we reached a “point of no return.” Media dutifully repeated Gore's claim and ran stories about the end of life as we now it. Fake news before Trump coined the term.

Over and over, the same pattern, act now or doom is certain. These people haven't been right once. What they can't seem to accept is that the fundamental claim that manmade CO2 is destroying the planet has been proven false by 30 years of the most intense scientific observations. The theory is wrong and no amount of carbon tax will have any significant impact on climate change. Warming, such as it is over the last 40 years, shows nothing like the trend these scaremongers insist is just days away.

Even this 0.0 point is an arbitrary construct.  We only have 40 years of data for earth's climate that is billions of years in the making. 

Meanwhile, Al Gore, who had a net worth of less than $2 million as a public official is now worth over $200 million.  He's wrong about EVERYTHING and laughing all the way to the bank at YOUR expense!
