The climate cult has gotten out of hand. It now threatens to prevail in politics by convincing the ignorant that the science is settled.
Anybody who has a basic understanding of the science knows that it is not settled. A number of inconvenient facts seriously undermine the idea that catastrophic global warming caused by humans is about to overwhelm us. Here are three of them:
Emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are causing far less heating than the climate models have been predicting.
There is no scientifically reputable method for measuring the human contribution to carbon dioxide emissions relative to emissions from natural sources.

A lot of money follows the climate cult so it will hard to put an end to it. But, let's get busy and make it so.

And not least...
There hasn't been any warming for the past twenty years,
When global temperatures begin to fall again, and they will,
expect to be required burn coal from the mines that dems bought
after they bankrupted them with their regulations.

The cult is the communist cult. The climate fraud is a tactic part of the cult theology.

It's all about complete control of people.
It will be a sad day for them when they find out that they cannot be Gd or be like Gd.

There's a big difference being demanding something, and implementing it. Have people surrendered their plastic straws, stopped eating meat, sold their cars, or turned up/down their thermostats?
You would think that America's experiment with Prohibition would have taught Politicians that there are limits to what they can try to force on their citizens.

Michael Mann, their hero, has been proven to be a dishonest liar in his work. And a lot of 'scientists' defended him. Their current leadership is of the same ilk, imo. It's a scam.

The CAGW types are scary. They have brainwashed a whole generation and more. The sad thing is that only those people who have decent training in physics & advanced math can understand why the computer models are bogus. The politicians are touting catastrophic man made global warming just to get $$money into their own hands and control of the big corporations. See the site WUWT and the newly posted article by Pat Frank entitled Propagation of Error and the Reliability of Global Air Temperature Projections, Mark II.

Here is how bad the models are. You can put in last years KNOWN data into the "model" and can not replicate last years weather patterns!! Climate change is an excuse for government to take over ever aspect of your life. Listen to Biden's speech- We "The government" will tell you what car you can drive, where to build your house, etc. They will use as an excuse to take over ALL industry!!

"As for the politicians in power around the world, they have become true believers because it serves their interests to have augmented control over resources and individuals."
And THAT is the crux of the matter and the true threat. If it was just the scientists and the Leftists that were alarmingly hysterical, it would certainly be annoying but not dangerous. However, when politicians see a personal benefit, watch out. Plus, it is simply easier for low ethics politicians to agree with hysterical Alarmists rather than disagree with them. That would take guts. So instead, government funding is used to feed the hysteria. As pointed out, media is also emotionally driven and drawn to powerful government Leftists so the media is also on board. That lends visibility and notoriety to the Alarmists.
"Most climate change cultists are deeply reluctant to discuss the science they think justifies their belief system."
I disagree with this. "Intellectual combat", while important is somewhat useless. The cultists don't discuss. They vomit emotions and righteousness all over you. You give a fact, they scream and swear. They label you as all sorts of vile things. They rarely discuss facts and never accept that their "facts" are wrong.
This is a political battle. We need to support Conservative candidates and we need to push them for truthful science. There are methods to be used for scientific inquiry. If Alarmists fail to use them, they should get NO funding. Politicians who repeat climate lies, like "hurricanes are getting stronger and more frequent" should be confronted with HARD FACTS, starting with BO.
