The climate change apocalypse narrative continues to deflate (ironic how much of it was hot gas). Last week, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finally admitted that it was time to stop scaring the public with doomsday climate scenarios that are impossible. Now, former leading climate activist Lucy Biggers has changed her mind about the world ending, too.
Biggers built a strong online following with her scary climate videos until a few years ago, when reality began to intrude. She noticed that the doomsday predictions never seemed to arrive. She also figured out what achieving “net zero” carbon emissions would mean in terms of costs, shutting down entire economies, and giving up freedoms (as Rush Limbaugh used to say, the environmental movement became the new home of communist tyrants after the USSR fell). And she had her first child in 2022 and realized that she didn’t want to pass down a mindset of existential dread and perpetual guilt to her children (this is why leftists hate families and children: their power is built on scaring their followers with existential dread and perpetual guilt.)
Recently, conservative pundits have started to note how many liberal media outlets have urged the Democrats to stop running for office on the claim that the climate is going to kill us all if they aren’t elected. The reason is that it isn’t working: polls show most Americans don’t rank “climate change” very high in their priorities, despite Joe Biden declaring it an existential threat (we’d argue that his open border policy was a bigger existential threat than the weather).
You can draw your own conclusions about their sincerity from the fact that they told us climate change was the biggest threat on Earth, and now they suddenly want to drop it because it’s not getting Democrats elected anymore.
