RE: When good people fail to speak up.  Op-ed by Grant Linney.  The Hamilton Spectator 26 July 23

“I can confidently say there is no real climate crisis, and that climate change does not cause extreme weather events.”  Thus spoke the 2022 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. John Clauser at Quantum Korea 2023.  Quoting a colleague of his, he said, “I’m not seeing in the data what you’re telling me I’m supposed to see.”

Grant Linney once again sings his sad song that no one is paying attention to him or his crisis, and that the lip-service extracted from politicians turned out to be just that – lip service.  The news fora are filled with panicked stories of heat waves everywhere, overheating oceans, ocean currents changing, and water around Antarctica failing to freeze.  I take this upsurge in panicked reportage as a sign that the climate crisis message is no longer being believed.  Skepticism over previous failed forecasts, unaddressed scandals, and of the economic costs being demanded of people is rising, and the funding may be cut off.

True believers of the climate cult are noticing the effects, and that, in effect, was what Linney was complaining about.  People aren’t responding anymore as they’re supposed to at the cry of “wolf!”
