Exaggerations and lies persuade suckers to send billions to Climate Crisis, Inc. scammers

Former National Audubon Society COO Dan Beard once confessed, “What you get in your mailbox is a never-ending stream of shrill crisis-related material designed to evoke emotions so that you will sit down and write a check.”

Neil Diamond sang, “Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies, And everyone goes, 'Cause everyone knows … 'bout Brother Love's show. Hallelujah, brothers!”

Or to Brother Love the Earth’s Traveling Salvation Show, which will save your planet and soul if you mouth the right platitudes and donate to prevent the latest eco-crisis.

As anger grows over the follies of climate and energy policies, UN bureaucrats and eco-warriors are shifting attention to the plastic waste crisis, while still ranting about a fossil-fuel-driven climate crisis.

The Trump Administration is issuing leases and permits for drilling and mining, while erecting regulatory hurdles to massive wind and solar facilities sprawling across wildlife and scenic areas. Meanwhile, explosions in Middle East gas facilities, threats to Strait of Hormuz traffic and the Russia-Ukraine war have sent oil, gas and gasoline prices upward.

However, near-religious ideologies, indoctrination and fearmongering in our schools, and seemingly endless cash flowing to companies, universities and rabblerousers still mean climate and energy realism is unlikely in our lifetimes. Never has so much money drained taxpayer and ratepayer bank accounts, fueled politically connected colleges and corporations, or perpetuated absurd fears and ludicrous solutions that they helped generate and subsidies and mandates they helped enact.

I receive barrages of shrill crisis-related material and entreaties for my retirement money.
