William Henry Gates III, a hero of the rank and file of the progressive movement and a multi billionaire, along with Prince William (the King in waiting to the throne of England) and Michael Bloomberg, are issuing a caution that climate change just might not be as bad as the climate industry has told us it is.

They went on to say the science that was and is settled and undeniable that the world will end in 2025, 2030 or 2050 are not true. The comments were made at a climate change conference Sept. 19 in New York City. 

We have seen this pattern before. The global cooling, acid rain, hole in the ozone layer and global warming were all deadly and going to murder all life on earth. As the predicted time of death of us all has neared, the rhetoric cooled and then disappeared.

Indeed, Mr. Gates stated that the world will not end by a date certain as promised by the sainted Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, whom he named in the interview as being an alarmist. Mr. Gates admitted that the man-made impact of pollution has been over weighted, and Prince William said the actions taken to curb climate change seem to be working; but wait, carbon has increased, not decreased?

Thanks to China and now India burning billions of tons of soft dirty coal? Can it be that the data is not supporting the guaranteed outcome the social influencers and real, correct scientists want it to be?  Do they want to be on the winning side so they can say they never said the world will end?

United States Treasury Security Janet Yellen said at the same meeting that the investments in carbon neutral plants and carbon offsets, a program that allows pollution if the corporation pays a fee to the progressive movement, have made the Earth a cleaner place. Interesting how the political donor class is paying off the environmental corporations to turn a blind eye to massive pollution in the third world. 

We are told by our vice president that the current young generation is suffering from “climate anxiety” due to the dark cloud of climate change ending all life hanging over their heads. They are not having children because they may not have a future. In my youth way back in the last century, the same type of anxiety existed due to the threat of nuclear holocaust and global cooling.

A few years ago those of us who questioned climate change or global warming were called damned science deniers; the ‘science’ proved beyond any doubt that the Earth is on an inevitable end by 2030 unless we cut worldwide carbon by 5% per year. Well, we did not do that; worldwide it is increasing. Why do we do not see that “undeniable truth” any more, and why are folks not being yelled at and called dreaded science deniers?

Hell, people who comment in the pages of this newspaper said people who denied the settled science of climate change ending the world should not receive treatment for cancer because we do not believe in science. Do those folks feel stupid? Not at all, they just move on to the next disaster and wish the folks a slow death who do not agree with them. 

Will we see a mea culpa from the progressive movement? Will the AOCs of the world say they were wrong? Fat chance. Will our president and vice president, former speaker of the House of Representatives and majority leader of the Senate say they were wrong? Will hundreds of talking heads on the leftist media and the good folks on “The View” say they were wrong? Don’t hold your breath. 

It will take a few years, but climate change will go the way of the other four or five end-of-all-life scams. The big question is, what is next? We have had an end-of-the-world scenario due to manmade pollution since the early 1960s; it is just too lucrative and profitable an issue for the leftist movement not to continue using.

Any reasonable and prudent person will wager a new end-of-the-world climate disaster will be forthcoming before the next decade. Who knows what it will be, but it is coming. My opinion.
