The next ‘Crisis’
Over the last two years I have predicted that if ever the Covid idiocy would fade into the past, the new ‘crisis’ manufactured for public consumption would be Climate Change. Kanadians may actually become the outliers in clutching their pearls about both issues at once - such is the gullibility and fragility of its malleable populace.
The Boomer backdrop to all of my entries in this journal continues to be central to most of the world’s problems. The demographic bulge consisting of this narcissistic and ideologically obsessed post war generation continues to have its way with Western culture - what is left of it anyway.
The current Climate Change alarmism is only beginning to rear its ugly head, and the roots of this hysteria go back to the 1960s when the Boomers were professing to know how the world should live. There is no generation in history that has been as obsessed with forcing other people to bend to their will. The sheer size of the Boomer generation has given them strength in numbers, if in nothing else.
it is worthwhile to remember people like Paul Ehrlich, Ralph Nader, and many others who, in the 1960s, were making their fame and fortune by pushing what was the deluded beginnings of the present Green movement. Paul Ehrlich wrote a best-selling book called The Population Bomb, in which he predicted the end of the world from starvation and rioting by 1980, because of overpopulation.
The world was then 3 billion people.
Today, at 8 billion, with less poverty, starvation, infant mortality and violence as well as a huge leap in life expectancy throughout the world, where is Paul Ehrlich?
He is in the Climate Alarmist business, reaping huge profits while stoking fear again.
As shameless as these so-called ‘green’ advocates are, they are not interested in the actual science, which in itself is certainly not settled. I have recommended ‘Unsettled’ by Koonin as a great look at the actual science of climate change.
Now I recommend Apocalypse Never by Michael Shellenberger. It is a detailed look at the reality of the so-called Climate policies that are being recklessly enacted all over the Western world. As an environmentalist and ‘reformed progressive’ he has excellent credentials and the book is thoughtful and a must-read for anyone professing to be interested in Climate Change.
The link below this blog is also an excellent resource - let’s hope the common sense pushback will begin now.
Naturally, the alarmists to whom I suggest these as good resources immediately reject it, saying they aren’t interested in reading about the subject.
I suppose CNN, CBC and the mainstream media are enough for these Age of Aquarians. The shadow of the 1960s continues to obscure the light of day.
