There is a credibility crisis for Western governments. For too many years, their incompetence and deceit have forced ordinary citizens to question whether they produce more harm than good.
On both sides of the Atlantic, the governing elite play by a set of rules that separates them from those they govern. They ignore popular discontent while placing themselves above the law.
It is in this volatile climate that they push the greatest con game ever concocted: man-made global warming. This is the hubris that brings empires crashing down.
Like any confidence scheme, global warming rests entirely on misdirection and bad faith.
While Western governments create hundred-trillion-dollar programs for fighting the weather, they have (1) never scientifically established that man’s use of hydrocarbon energy causally leads to temperature change of any kind, (2) never articulated some baseline climate ideal for the planet, and (3) never produced a cost-benefit analysis detailing the loss in human life and standard of living required in order to impose upon the world the type of global command-and-control economy necessary to restructure all industry and commerce.
These three pillars are so fundamental that a normal person could be forgiven for assuming they’ve long ago been calculated. That’s part of the con.
The Science Isn’t Settled
Nobody has decided whether to green the Sahara or bury Scandinavia in more snow, whether we’re pursuing the Roman Warm Period of two thousand years ago or the Little Ice Age that ended in the nineteenth century.
No government has admitted that the Green Dream will destroy populations and make modern conveniences future luxuries for only the wealthiest survivors.
How do you convince your citizens you have their best interests at heart when nothing could be farther from the truth? You prey on their weaknesses with a three-tailed hustle on a global scale.
First, you need people. You have to convince the great masses to emotionally and fervently support your side. So, you give them a new religion.
You let them in on a terrible secret that only they are wise enough to understand and righteous enough to combat. You tell them the world is coming to an end.
You construct a nightmare so terrifying that no sane person could turn away. You talk of boiling oceans and continents on fire.
You tell of hemisphere-sized hurricanes and nation-sized tornadoes that destroy everything in their paths.
You point to the sun and say, “We will all burn alive…unless…” Then you tell them who is to blame.
You tell them that oil and gas and coal are killing their children and that anybody who still uses them is complicit in their children’s deaths.
You call these natural forms of energy “fossil fuels,” so your new disciples will remember that these fuels are leading them to their graves.
You tell them there is no greater wickedness in the world than carbon and that their virtue is most pure when they learn to hate those who are not enlightened enough to see the coming battle between good and evil. You build yourself an unholy army.
Next, you get a vanguard to lead. You need officers who are so vain that they laugh at the gullibility of the very army they are meant to head.
You need arrogant intellectuals willing to deceive the public for the greater good. You need marks who willingly take part in the con because they have no idea they are being fooled themselves.
So, you gather the socialists and let them in on a secret that only they are wise and righteous enough to understand: everything wrong in the world is capitalism’s fault.
Free markets and free thoughts have unleashed too many bad ideas, too much greed, too much war, and exploitation.
You tell them the chaos will never subside until a group of enlightened thinkers such as they begin to govern and usher in earthly peace and tranquility for the ages.
You tell them the people are frightened and worried about tomorrow’s end and that they can use such fear to build a new world without sin or hardship. You tell them they are the ones they’ve been waiting for.
Lastly, you get the capitalists to finance the operation. You need elected officials so corrupt and so greedy that they would gladly set in motion their own demise if there is profit to be made.
You need heads of commerce to embrace their own doom by convincing them they will be spared from the revolution to come.
So, you gather the capitalists from great halls and great houses and let them in on a secret that only they are wise and practical enough to understand: the age of individual liberty is coming to an end, but if they submit quietly, there is still a fortune to be made.
You tell the elected officials that they have the power to create money out of thin air. By legislative fiat, they can make pieces of paper called carbon credits worth trillions.
They can make something with no value the most valuable commodity on Earth, and they will be in on the ground floor. You look those officials in the eye and tell them, “The people are frightened; the socialists are taking over, but you can be wealthier than you ever imagined.”
You gather the heads of all the biggest companies and promise monopoly, if only they stay silent while the great purge plays out.
You remind them that only the very best people were meant to rule and that through their greed, they can join an aristocracy without end. You promise them the world so that they finance their own destruction.
If successful, the global warming hustle will reclaim power from the people and return it to the kings and queens, lords and ladies who mean to rule over what’s left of the world they destroy.
It will be the greatest con ever executed. The charade is so vast and so vile that if it comes crashing down, not a single Western government will survive.
These are the stakes they created to swap freedom with fiefdom. If we let them succeed, their dream is our death, for “this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.”

WHEN I WAS A GIRL LIVING IN LAC LA HACHE BC, THE WINTERS YIELDED FARENHEIT 51 BELOW ZERO. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX
WHEN I WAS A GIRL LIVING IN LAC LA HACHE BC, THE WINTERS YIELDED FARENHEIT 51 BELOW ZERO..THESE RADICAL CLIMATOLOGISTS HAVE ROBBED THE WORLD OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF PEOPLE’S TAX MONEY TO FUND THEIR EVIL SCAMS. LIKE THOSE ANTIFA SUPPORTER PARENTS OF THEIR DAUGHTER GRETA..TURNED HER INTO A FRAIL AND AUTISTIC FORM OF YOUNG TEENAGE MONEY MAKER FOR THEM…SHAME ON THEM..
Climate change; the perceptions of a layman.
Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperature, precipitation, wind patterns and other measures of climate that occur over several decades or longer.
Climate change is undeniable; it is, and always has been, a natural, endlessly cyclic phenomenon ever since planet Earth was formed.
What is in dispute is the cause of current changed climatic weather patterns.
First there are so-called climate change ‘alarmists’. ‘Alarmists’ are those who believe global warming, just one feature of changed weather patterns, is caused by elevated atmospheric CO2 levels as a consequence of the burning of fossil fuels; oil, gas and hydrocarbons. This climate change cause is promoted by governments, state agencies and the United Nations. It is taught in schools and in 2019 there were numerous ‘strikes’ by school pupils protesting against inactivity by governments around the world to take action to reverse global warming.
Wider definition of climate change is increased frequency, severity and duration of all weather patterns; wind, precipitation, as well as temperature, both hot and cold. Originally, climate change, usually taken to mean just global warming, was widely accepted, with only isolated questioning. Growing numbers of scientists outside the IPCC orbit have now been challenging climate change hysteria for years, supported with data, but have been shut down or ridiculed by the establishment. Several have lost their jobs as a consequent of their academic honesty and integrity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.
There is now widespread evidence and rapidly growing public acceptance that climate change is a natural cyclic phenomenon, unaffected by CO2. Many and increasing numbers of researchers now absolutely refute the culpability of CO2 in the one-dimensional aspect of climate change; warming.
No scientific research has ever produced data to prove there is any correlation between atmospheric levels of CO2 and global warming, or climate change generally. On the other hand,
increasingly information is coming to public attention of falsified climate change data reported by supposedly trustworthy researchers and state organisations. Climategate of 2001 and the East Anglia Climate Research Unit scandal are two early examples. There have been several subsequent incidences, and revelations of such deceptions that are on the increase. The most recent (Dec 2019) emanated from the Denmark Bureau of Meteorology.
Statistical evidence now proves, indisputably, CO2 does not cause temperature change, and hasn’t even in past centuries when CO2 levels were, at times, far higher than they are now. There are causes for localised concerns about fossil fuel-driven/CO2 atmospheric pollution, but these are health concerns, not climate change indicators. See Global Warming Solved, Ronan Connelly.
Sadly, those 2019 ‘striking’ school pupils around the world have, seemingly, never been given the opportunity to study and debate the now proven real cause of global warming and most other features of climate change – Mother Nature.
Only two climate change components are man-made; precipitation volume and pattern changes caused principally by prime tropical rainforest deforestation. This is now actively widespread right across the entire equatorial latitude band. This was, perhaps, the first identified cause of climate/weather change several decades ago. Second, chlorofluorocarbons and hydro-fluorocarbons that break down stratospheric ozone molecules, exposing the planet’s surface to greater amounts of UV radiation. These are now banned and improvements are already evident.
We are in a phase of cyclic climate change that is causing uncharacteristically extreme incidences of flooding, cyclones, severe changes in seasonal temperatures, both hot and cold, and significant changes in precipitation patterns, both flooding and aridity. Statistics signal the incidence of these events is now of decreasing frequency, to a level lower than in recent centuries. Further, global temperatures are trending downwards, but there will always be freak conditions within trends, such as those tragically affecting Australia in 2019/20.
Contrary to frequent media claims, extreme events are seldom unique or ‘the worst ever’. For example, this winter, parts of North America are expected to experience the lowest temperatures for 200-300 years. Much of Australia is experiencing among the worst recorded bushfires since colonisation began in 1788. Venice was recently flooded with the highest water level since 1966. None is a unique event, as claimed by the ‘alarmists’, but the effects of cyclic climate change. As for Venice, that city has been subsiding for years and ample references to this are available.
The media loves records, and in every measurable aspect of human experience, records will always be broken and new ones set.
Australia’s current bushfires have little or nothing to do with climate change; they do have much to do with Green-driven policies enacted by local bodies placing restrictions on the clearing of underbrush and inadequate, fire breaks, providing fuel for these fires. Fire prevention measures, which were de rigour in the past, are now requiring compliance with restrictive red tape, if in fact allowed to be carried out at all; to say nothing of numerous incidences of suspected arson. As at November 2019, more than two hundred suspected incidents of arson were under investigation in Queensland and New South Wales alone.
Rapidly expanding urbanisation and lifestyle blocks arising from unprecedented population growth over recent decades have added to the tragedy of the 2019/20 horrific bushfires in Australia, with many deaths and extensive property damage. Sadly, this adds ammunition to ‘alarmists’ who don’t read beyond the headlines.
Over the past few decades there have been several dire predictions that we would all soon be inundated by rising sea levels. None has eventuated, in fact there is no evidence of sea levels rising. ‘Alarmists’ are suggesting polar ice cap melting will cause sea levels around the world to rise as much as seventy metres as ice caps melt. ‘Alarmists’ are not aware of, or are ignoring, downward-trending temperatures that negates any concerns in this regard.
Storms of increased severity over the past decade or so have caused coastal flooding, wave damage and erosion, as they have always done; but these are not unique events. They are part of cyclic change, which are now showing signs of reversion.
There are often scenes on TV of Antarctic glaciers breaking off into the sea. Most recent research provides evidence the cause is not atmospheric climate change, but subterranean volcanic activity.
Increasing polar bear numbers are causing safety concern for the Inuit population of Arctic regions; not decreasing numbers to the point of extinction because of loss of habitat due climate change as maliciously claimed by ‘alarmists’.
It is time the world’s mesmerised climate change ‘alarmists’ examined statistical data, accepted scientific facts and stopped creating baseless deception for their own ends. There is nothing Man can do to effect change to the planet’s constant climatic variations and freak extreme events: Nature doesn’t work that way.

Hear, hear!
One of the best summaries I’ve come across. Bravo.
War and Peace suffers almost identical conflicts of nature.
Until peace can be proven to be profitable, war will continue
The want to revert us all to a Primative way of living they have watched crappy movies like Avatar and think if we lived as one with Nature the world would be cleaner and more stable Frankly they all should be stranded in the Amazon Jungle
Thank you for very concisely summarizing and exposing this CACCC – Catastrophic Alarmist Climate Change Cult for what it is. However, quote;”It will be the greatest con ever executed. The charade is so vast and so vile that if it comes crashing down, not a single Western government will survive.”…. this will not be allowed to happen by Western Governments… so the exploding of the myth will have to come bit by bit, so that Western Governments can “save face” and carry on… perhaps what has to happen first, is the global climate following it’s natural cyclical fashion, has to cool – which it will. Secondly, honest climate scientists have to band together and create a critical mass of their colleagues and call out the IPCC on every false claim. Thirdly, the mass media have to withdraw its support for this CACCC and they will only do so, when CACC no longer is profitable and they find another topic as profitable to publicize. How this might or might not happen is sheer clairvoyancy and no one knows exactly how all this CACCC will end.
