Global warming isn’t really about climate but about leftist-control freakery, said author, lawyer, and energy expert Steve Milloy to Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on Sirius XM.
Milloy said CO2 emissions are never going to go down because they are a product of human progress.
But we shouldn’t worry because this is just another sign of rising living standards.
“The bottom line is ‘climate’ is not about controlling the weather; it’s about controlling you,” Milloy told Marlow, in a broad-ranging discussion about global warming and the hypocrisy of the environmental movement.
Marlow began by expressing skepticism about some of the claims made by environmental advocates, especially the celebrities who insist that the planet is doomed while continuing to fly everywhere.
His particular obsession, he said, was the ever-worsening Los Angeles traffic: shouldn’t the environmentalists have solved this problem by now? How did it get to become so bad that celebrities – such as the Kobe Bryant – now choose to fly over it in helicopters instead?
Milloy said:
“There is not a climate bedwetter who is not a total hypocrite. They all claim they are worried about climate change but they don’t do anything to reduce their own emissions. Not that that would make any difference anyway […]
Emissions are never going to down. Our lives are entirely dependent on fossil fuels. There is no replacement. Emissions are going up. There’s nothing anybody is doing to cut them. Even when they reduce their emissions all they’re are doing them is transferring them to China.”
But none of this is a problem because standards of living are continuing to rise and rise, Milloy said.
By the end of this century, there may be another five billion people on the planet but global warming will help rather than hinder them: the extra warmth and the extra atmospheric CO2 are helping to green the planet, meaning that it is possible to feed more people.
Why then, Marlow asked, do they keep on telling children that they are doomed? Milloy said:
Climate change is completely counterfactual. There’s nothing to support the narrative. What does the left want? Control over all our lives.
And part of its strategy was to start propagandizing children, which they began 15 or 20 years ago to the point where it is second nature to them to think: “We are destroying the planet […] It’s a form of psychological warfare. They want it to be on everybody’s mind.
Milloy cited the Australian bush fires as an example of this strategy: there have been many bushfires in Australia before (including a particularly destructive outbreak in 1939) and there is strong evidence that the latest was exacerbated by arson and by improper land management.
But it suits the left not to address these issues because the disaster helps their cause, Milloy observed:
They like to see the world burning because it plays into their psychological narrative.
This, Milloy and Marlow agreed, explains why in California so little has been done to address the underlying causes of wildfires. The greenies don’t want to solve the problem because it helps their cause.
Finally, Milloy talked about Greta the Climate Puppet:
She’s fronting a movement and it’s hard to know who is behind it. Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany – German intelligence told her that [Russian leader Vladimir] Putin was funding this Youth Climate Strike movement, which Greta fronts […] but you made a good point at the beginning.
It’s really pathetic that climate has now come down to this 17-year-old girl who admits that she knows nothing about climate science. When she testified in Congress and they asked her to describe why she was worried, she couldn’t […]
It’s really ridiculous. The faces of the climate movement are Greta, a 17-year-old school drop-out who knows nothing, actors like Leonardo di Caprio, and Hanoi Jane Fonda. This is supposed to be a genuine crisis – yet this is who is pushing it.

The whole climate scam (inc. XR) is state sponsored.
The end game is simple. TPTB need more taxes. The scam is nothing to do with climate change, polar bears, melting icebergs, it is about more taxes.
It’s why XR & St Greta exist & the Establishment encourage them.
Businesses and industries in Canada create pollution. Unavoidable in many cases. Help Trudeau and Singh in their quest to provide 100% clean air by doing what you can to reduce your use and purchase Product of Canada and Made in Canada products. Quebec and the Maritimes are doing a little by buying blood oil from Saudi Arabia, Islamic terrorist oil from Nigeria and failed socialism oil from Venezuela. Congratulations. Move the automobile industry entirely to Mexico and buy all steel from China. Put a few more freight and passenger trains on the rails and we can pretty well shut down air travel.
Climate alarmism isn’t about control and it isn’t about politics, except indirectly. It’s just about profit. New technologies and new methods of creating power mean new ways of making huge amounts of money. Getting the public and gov’ts to support the new energy business with scary stories is just business. Even fossil fuel companies are investing in ‘renewables’ because there’s profit in it. Why wouldn’t a big oil company diversify into wind farms if the gov’t is going to cover the losses and subsidize the cost?
Liberals believe that they are absolutely right about everything and it is their duty to force what they believe on everyone else. A difficult part of my family’s history is an example. My mother had become an invalid after strokes and was being cared for by my father. My father was doing a good job. Adult Protective Services wanted him to give a full financial disclosure so they could tell him how to spend his life’s savings. They were very unhappy when he refused. They then tried to force him to take measures that were both very expensive and not needed. When he refused they sued for custody of my mother and half of everything that my Dad owned. We won the law suit.
This is the mind set of liberals. They want to control our lives as far as housing, temperature of our homes, transportation, what we eat, and pet ownership. The climate change movement is a means of making this happen. At least that is what they are hoping. We have to make sure they are not successful.
It is very true that climate change is “about controlling you” but it is about a lot more. Many want to use it to destroy free enterprise. The leaders of the Extinction Rebellion are using it to punish society. Christiana Figueres says it is to transfer the wealth of the industrial nations to the developing nations. Others are trying to force a reduction in the middle class life style which they consider excessive. Many Democrats are using it as a means to implement new taxes. With so many agendas riding on it, many don’t care if there is any truth to the movement.
The Open Society Foundation is run by George Soros and anyone or anything have to do with him is bad for America and all Americans we want no part of any World Community
Yes it’s definitely about control. And it’s the Open Society Organisation which is sponsoring Greta. Have a look into that one.

Recommended (highly) book: “The Mythology of Global Warming:Climate Change Fiction vs. Scientific Facts” by Bruce Bunker. Explores in detail the sun cycles, the oceans, ice and sea levels, the vital role of CO2, the perversion of climate science by politicised alarmism, energy, light, etc. Acclaimed as the best book of all, and easy read. Facts from gelology, biology, chemistry, astronomy, meteorology, government files, etc etc. and why and how we have been fooled.
This is indeed about controling our lives from cradle to grave its about forced veganism,and forcing us all to use mass transit and to live in a beehive apartment and living a dull montonoius life watching the usial mindless Eco-Freak Specials in the big screen
