#1 Maybe as the usual suspects keep pointing to 'record highs', they believe their control on the narrative will blind us to this winter's record cold - Exhibit A

The gig is up.

#3 The global warming moonbats are still out there--in waiting. When the temperature goes up, they make global warming chirping noises.

We are not educating critical thinkers anymore. They tend to accept Progressive talking points or this group or that group's agenda without question.

#5 A majority just don't care and have other things to deal with, things they both have a stake in, and have a modicum of control over.

Agreed, NS! What finer example of an "expert" could there be beside an ex-nurse turned ski shop worker in this *fine* economy, lol.

#7 Why global cooling is a good thing:

'Britain's Atlantis' found at bottom of North sea - a huge undersea world swallowed by the sea in 6500BC

Divers have found traces of ancient land swallowed by waves 8500 years ago
Doggerland once stretched from Scotland to Denmark
Rivers seen underwater by seismic scans
Britain was not an island - and area under North Sea was roamed by mammoths and other giant animals
Described as the 'real heartland' of Europe
Had population of tens of thousands - but devastated by sea level rises

#9 The alternative to anthropogenic climate change would be non-anthropogenic climate change.

Earth's climate has been highly unstable for the last 2.5 million years.

There's no reason to believe this would change if humans deindustrialized completely. Neither do we have any reason to believe that anthropogenic change would be more or less harmful that non-anthropogenic change.

Stabilizing the current climate would actually be a worthwhile objective, since a new ice age is a realistic and catastrophic prospect likely to occur in the not too distant future. Eco nuttery however doesn't even claim to offer any solutions.

Even if we accept their diagnosis their proposed therapy makes no sense.
