The Ice Age Is on the Way – HotAir

The Ice Age Is on the Way – HotAir

You (thankfully) may not have noticed that Earth Day was April 22nd. 

It’s not quite the national doomsday it was during the Biden administration, but since I live in the information overload world of a writer who lives online, I was treated to nearly as much hysterical propaganda last week as I ever have. 





At least Greta Thunberg has moved on to promoting the genocide of Jews, so I didn’t get a similarly stupid and evil lecture from her about how the world is perpetually 5 years away from extinction. 

I did, however, get treated to a lecture from Al Gore about the impending Ice Age, to which we are back after a few decades of global WARMING alarmism. The pendulum from ice doom to fire doom to ice doom again is swinging. 

I consider myself a climate realist in the sense that I believe studying the climate and understanding its inner workings are important for human flourishing. The Earth’s climate has been changing throughout its existence, and even during the rather short lifespan of the human race, it has swung between extremes that have nearly wiped out the human race. 

Doggerland, which connected Europe and Britain, was wiped off the map only 8,000 years ago, as the first human civilizations were forming. The melting of the glaciers rapidly transformed the contours of entire continents. 

It was only about 15,000 years ago that much of the Northern hemisphere was buried under ice, often a mile or more thick. Sea levels were 450 feet lower than they are today, and massive chunks of what was once land inhabited by human beings are now submerged under the ocean. 





Here in North America, around the time that human beings were perhaps  migrating to North America (there is a lot of dispute about when the first Asians came over), a glacier dam broke, creating the largest known flood in history. It literally reshaped the landscape of a vast segment of the Northwest, from Montana to Oregon and Washington. 

So climate change is very real, and it’s important to understand it through real science. Not faked science, which is what we are subjected to on a daily basis by scammers looking to vacuum up trillions of dollars and to control our lives. 

Of course, not everybody who worries about the impact of CO2 on our climate is a scammer, but that isn’t my point. 

Almost everybody who is howling from the rooftops and making wild predictions about anthropogenic climate change IS a scammer or is brainwashed, and we know that because the actual science, as uncertain and perhaps biased as it is, doesn’t back the apocalyptic predictions, and all the predictions we have been treated to in order to scare us have failed to come to pass. 





The activists who lecture us about the dangers of climate change are so remarkably ignorant and easily manipulated that they can be shown to be dangerously wrong in a matter of seconds or minutes. The “experts” who keep making predictions about what will happen in 10, 20, or thirty years always miss the mark. 

We’ve now gotten so deep into the climate scam that we can laugh in their faces at how ridiculously wrong they were, but it is they, not the people who were right, who are still held up as prophets of doom. 

And doom is a great teaser product for what is really behind the scam: power and control over everything. Money, land use, consumption patterns, and a takeover of entire industries and markets. John Kerry, when he was Biden’s climate ambassador, spoke of spending $5-7 TRILLION a year on climate projects. 

EU countries have closed farms, blown up power plants, capped oil and gas wells, and destroyed their economies in the name of climate change, without making a dent in global carbon emissions. But a lot of the elite have done exceptionally well out of the deal, and are quite happy with the results as they party in Davos. 





I wrote earlier today that the correlation between expanding human populations and lifespans and the use of fossil fuels and all power sources correlate almost 100%. That’s not a coincidence. You may say “science,” but almost every product of science and technology we use to extend our lives and improve our standard of living are dependent on cheap, abundant power. 

Go to a hospital and look around. Everything is plastic, electronics, and highly refined metals that simply did not exist a hundred and fifty years ago. Even the ambulance that took you there was impossible not so long ago, but is today because of abundant energy and fossil fuels. 

Al Gore is now peddling the coming ice age—and there will be a coming ice age, and probably a “mini ice age” as we had in Europe just a few hundred years ago—as a consequence of CO2. But the fact is that we have been living in the “holocene,” a brief period of time when glaciers have retreated, and the best climate (called the holocene climate optimum) has already come and gone, more than 6000 years ago. 

Carbon had nothing to do with it. In fact, CO2 levels were quite low then, and compared to many eras in history, they are still quite low. 





Climate change is real, but has so far had nothing to do with human beings. That doesn’t mean we can’t have an impact on the climate—it’s possible we could—but the current hysterics can only be so due to complete ignorance of anything outside what “experts” and politicians tell them. 

Hail is new? Hurricanes are new? Fires are new? These people are ignoramouses, and don’t even know that hurricanes are rarer today than a hundred years ago, as part of a natural cycle. 

Taking any of these people seriously is a profound mistake, just as ignoring the need for genuine science would be. If you want to flourish, you should want to know how the world works. None of these people care about what is real; they want power and virtue points. 

The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution, or seizing power. We saw what an “emergency” can do to shift power during COVID, which is why Klaus Schwab now compared climate change to the pandemic. Tom Steyer is using climate change as his excuse to impeach President Trump, because why not? 





The same people who were preaching about the population bomb switched over to climate change when shortages and famines didn’t kill billions of people in the 1970s and 80s. The ozone hole didn’t kill us, and acid rain was easily addressed once it was recognized. 

These people don’t want to identify and deal with problems; they want problems to give them power and money. Never let a crisis go to waste, and as with the SPLC and racism, if the problem doesn’t exist, create it. 

Promoting ignorance and performative outrage have worked for the people pushing climate alarmism, although the failure of disasters to appear has blunted their impact. But fear not, younger folks and AWFLs are convinced, and the “experts” will keep feeding them fear porn to keep the grift going as long as possible. 





If human beings are having an impact on the climate, we need to understand the mechanisms. But that means understand how climate works, and we have barely scratched the surface. We still have trouble predicting hurricane cycles, and pretty much every climate prediction has been terribly wrong.
