Apparently not enough people are convinced that we have only 12 years left before the world ends.
The first brand identity of the doomsday cultists had it that “global warming” was going to kill us all. But alas, it produced laughable claims, such as the “end of snow,” that were endlessly refuted by Mother Nature.
And there was the humiliating “Gore Effect,” described by Urban Dictionary as:
The phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming. Hence, the Gore Effect.

"Climate emergency"? That to me would be a tornado or a 124 dg F day or a hurricane or a massive flood. Emergency seems to mean something far more immediate with an expectation you will be able to kind of see it coming right at you. When it does not happen as the acolytes expect, you can expect the High priests to rename it again. something more flashy and grabby, like "Climate Jazz!" or "Climate Whing-Ding". Folks have got to have something terrible and provocative to believe in. So, they just might turn to "Climate Boogyman!". He'll look like Al Gore, but with horns like a water buffalo and a brownish-reddish face- oh, and fangs! he has to have fangs! And a pitch fork. you know, to stab at the Climate Boogyman deniers.

If it's being branded, it's a product. We can choose to buy or NOT but products. This "climate" product sounds really lousy and it doesn't come with a warranty. The spec sheet is contradictory. It says it can blow hot or cold and is rather arbitrary about which. It can cause droughts and floods and again, it's not too clear about when or why.
This sounds like a car that, when you step on the gas, could go either forward or backward but you can not be sure which direction it will choose. If you stepped on the brake, it might work and then again, it might not.
You would think this manufacturer would be out of business by now. Maybe it's because they promise we will have rainbows and kittens if we buy their product. Hmmmmmmm. Nope. Even if we buy into their vastly expensive product we will still have storms, hot and cold weather extremes, droughts and floods. It's not clear that we are actually going to get anything for our money.
Why am I reminded of Snake Oil?

These idiots can’t predict what the weather will be tomorrow, including the temperature. That would be because it is unpredictable. I am certainly not going to be persuaded by a bunch of brainwashed college students who cannot even remember who first told them this fairy tale.

In the late-1970s, I was in grade school. I remember reading in the Scholastic kids' magazine that in x number of years (it was into the thousands at the very least), the human race and most lifeforms would be extinct due to GLOBAL COOLING. In the mid- to late-1980s, I remember hearing about that blasted hole in the ozone layer. The human race and most lifeforms were gonna fry (or get cancer or both) as a result of it.
At some point -- I believe after the "hole" in the ozone starting correcting itself or some such -- the fear became global warming. I think that was in the late-1990s or so. In the 2010s, climate change was all the rage. Now at the cusp of the 2020s, climate emergency is in vogue.
I don't have faith in any of the current climate monologue (dialogue would include more than one point of view and climate enthusiasts don't allow for that). The descriptors change constantly. The fears of the years change constantly. The hatred changes constantly -- for the worse against those who disagree with or challenge climate fill-in-the-blank.
I do have faith in one thing: Jesus Christ. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

It's a litmus test with me. If you are a climate change believer, I write you off. I'm sorry.

I was planning to come up with some really snotty, totally stupid "next thing" like cow flatulence causing global warming, but that would be so stupid not even a college SJW would buy it.

Yes, cow flatulence is causing a climate emergency. I was recently at dinner with the family of a liberal college professor, and their big topic was why we should stop eating meat because cattle industry is causing global warming. I smiled and refrained from pointing out (don't want to be shunned, you know) that the great plains were once the home of 30 million buffaloes emitting vast amounts of CO2 with no harm to the global climate.

Thank God only half the world is below average intelligence. Maybe the rest of us still have a chance.

We're experiencing the coldest June I can remember. This is north of the NYS thruway. I can see the AF spewing their chemical clouds every day. Did you know those clouds contain aluminum particles that cause cancer? If the commie demonrats don't want to rob you blind with their global warming BS, then they'll kill you with cancer by aluminum particles.

The Climate Cult shares remarkable similarities to the Cult of BarackHussein in its total rejection of rational thought and honest intent.
