It's tempting to say that the worst hoax of the 21st century was the COVID hysteria that did so much damage to the United States and the world. A virus that is no more dangerous than a bad flu season was used to upend the world, destroying lives, separating families, redistributing tens of trillions in wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy, and destroying a generation's education and mental health.
But as bad as the COVID myths were, I think it is safe to say that the Climate hysteria and all the downstream consequences of reshaping our lives and economies around a hysterical overreaction

I must agree with Strom. Though the Pharma-Industrial Complex seeks to ever find a different 'bug' they can use to control us, Covid's season has largely come and gone. Not so with Climate hysteria because it doesn't matter whether it is hot or cold or rainy or tsunami, those of this religion alter their focus as if turning on a dime. This religion has probably destroyed the economies of Britain and Europe and it could have destroyed ours as well if at least some of us had not woken up and slowed the idiocy of solar/wind as a primary source of electricity. But stay alert, these folks haven't given up.

Algore, snake oil salesman.
"There is too much money riding on this. The Empire will strike back."
The problem for the Alarmists is that they had to put stakes in the ground as to when our doom was coming. None of predictions came true. Every failure undermined their position until our response to their ravings has become Ho Hum. Further, there are REAL issues caused by attempts to fix the "problem"; enormous costs, unreliable energy delivery, failure of the solutions to meet expectations or lifetimes of the technology, environmentally BAD side effects, ... In general, the "solutions" have failed.
As to rebuilding the movement, the Alarmists built on a successful clean environment movement. Everyone wanted clean air, water, and soil. There was a problem and it was successfully addressed. The Alarmist said, "But WAIT, there's more to do!", and built the Climate Change industry with the same expectations of success. Now we know it was all hype. Public opinion is doubtful that the problem is as serious as claimed, even exists, or if it does is not man made and is caused by natural forces we cannot do anything about.
It's like seeing a great broadway show and loving the creator of it. You eagerly go to their next production and it's a bit of a dud. Then you go to another one that is not good. Your good will toward the creator of the shows is now exhausted. He is not making an easy comeback unless he PROVES himself all over again.
No one is going to be spending billions of dollars on environmental "fixes" based on the current dubious science and the lousy results of things that have been tried. The Alarmists had a downhill coast the first time. Now they face an uphill slog against people prepared to refute their foolishness.
Gore's Use By date has expired.

Horse pucky! Enlightened Gore made millions. He is living the life of a uber wealth lying climate warrior. He did little and made a fortune. Just like his goobernment service. Fear mongering predictions predict huge profits. Gore took advantage of 'a fool and his money' business tactics. In an odd way, one almost has to admire Gore for recognizing a high profit business opportunity and taking advantage of fools.

Communist China was always the biggest beneficiary of the "global warming" hysteria. As that issue recedes a crusade against data centers seems to be slowly taking its place. There are legitimate concerns that need to be addressed before permits are issued for individual facilities but reflexive opposition to any data centers is another obvious gift to the CCP.

I said at the time and every year since that all his crap was just lying crap to make money. Gore is a communist, worked for the KGB and his father did, too. Corrupt, treasonous and rich.

The UK is always so dutiful and they followed all this advice faithfully and stringently, and in the end old people were staying in bed all Christmas Day because they could not afford heat. And there is not actually a problem that can be solved this way and the experts know it and do not care.

At least my prediction came true, that by 2026 Al Gore would be proved to be an utter fraud.

I have a relative (several actually) who still believe in climate change. Any time it's very hot, very cold, or stormy it's "sobering", her favorite word, what climate change is doing.
I have another relative who has a temperature sensitive drinking glass with a picture of the earth on it and as her drink get warmer and the ice melts it shows the ocean levels rising over the continents.
Lol!

It was never about 'the Climate'.
It was always about CONTROL.
Controlling people by controlling the energy they need to live.
Think about the restrictions on the electrical generating plants that create the electricity that we all need, the restrictions on the vehicles that are 'allowed' to be sold, the air conditioning refrigerants that are 'allowed' to be sold, the appliances that are 'allowed' to be sold, the agricultural and lawn care machinery that is 'allowed' to be sold, the trucks- from pickup trucks up through semi-tractors- that are 'allowed' to be sold, or used.
The only thing that made this possible is that the Totalitarians control the Lamestream media, and for many years there was no alternative.
Then the Media picture began to change. First with Rush, and now a host of people on the radio, and many more online, the Lamestreams are losing their monopoly on the information that people see- at least for those who open their eyes and look.
Then a couple of years ago, the Totalitarians (that is, the Leftist 'Rats) realized that there is a much faster, more direct way to Control 'the masses' as they (the Communists) like to call the People of the nation, and that way is through Artificial Intelligence (AI).
But.... AI needs a LOT of computing power to operate, which means Data Centers are necessary. Data Centers use a LOT of electricity, which runs counter to the 'Climate' cause, so the 'Climate' cause had to go away.
Watch the Lamestreams- there is not near the emphasis on 'Anthropogenic Climate Disruption' that there was a few years ago. I think it's because the people pulling the strings on the Lamestreams told them to stop pushing it..... they have moved on to 'Orange Man Bad', since President Trump won re-election.
But watch out for AI..... it's a powerful tool.
Good people will use it for good.
Evil people will use it for Evil.
Don't believe me?
Wait and See!

Global warming was a lucrative scam for Al, thanks to the democrats cheering in the wings.
By the way, the original strand of covid was indeed rough, but could have been controlled with access to the right medications. The one two punch of vaccines and vents is what caused so many deaths. (Trump continued to brag about both of those until he got booed at one of his own rallies.)

I have liberal relatives in Florida. Whenever I talk to them, I ask if the state is under water yet.
So far, so good.

Has Gore been doing the MAnMade Global Warming/Climate Change stick for only 20 years. I thought it was at least 30 years. And, all of these self-appointed climate experts claim, “we’re all going to die in 10 years!” Not 7, not 15, but always 10 years. And,aafter the hockey stick warming temperatures leveled off and start to cool there was short period of cooling they switched to Climate Change. That way, if it got warmer or cooler, Climate Change covered it.
