New survey suggests that the climate change scam is becoming a joke
Do you suffer from climate anxiety? A new survey suggests that you might find yourself increasingly alone. Apparently, the constant fear-mongering isn’t working too well anymore.
When 2,230 American adults last month were given a list of issues and asked to judge their importance, “climate change” scored near the bottom, with only 45 percent considering it “very important”, alongside “issues of race and diversity” at 40 percent.
Compare that with the list-toppers: the economy (82 percent), inflation (79 percent), and crime (65 percent), according to the CBS News poll conducted last month by YouGov. When real problems arise, fake ones tend to fade.
Which is why, when the countries of the world came together to define an objective, the best they could come up with was to not surpass an overall global temperature of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels from the year 1900. Since that limit was already surpassed, despite constant harassment and taxation of their citizens under the climate change pretext, they clearly have no idea what they're doing. Their argument is that they just haven’t governed hard enough yet or taken enough of your money. How convenient.
For instance, there could be a federal carbon tax, like Canada’s Liberal Party Prime Minister Justin Trudeau foisted upon Canadians, and which has contributed to massive inflation as the tax is factored into every part of the supply chain.
“Eco-anxiety” is real, according to the American Psychological Association. Defined as “chronic fear of environmental doom,” it’s a wonder that the affliction hasn’t been included on the disabilities disclosure list for job applications.

I know lets go out and scare the crap out of small children!
I've said this probably 50 times in this forum, if you are worried about your grand children's children regarding the climate, worry about your children's economic future because it is going to harm them far sooner than globalwarmingclimatechange.

The EV battery 'catch-22'
05/20/2024
In his e-book, “The EV Transition Explained,” Robert Charette, longtime systems engineer, and contributing editor for IEEE Spectrum, says making the transition is harder than anyone thinks.
His argument centers on the lack of planning and systems engineering on initiatives that are politically, not engineering, driven. While change is possible, he suggested it would require trillions more in government spending and enforcing those changes through law.
Profitability. Battery recycling is a still-developing process which is time consuming and expensive. The cost of purchasing recycled materials may be more costly than buying them new.
Mineral shortfalls. Secure and sustainable access to critical minerals like copper, lithium, cobalt, and nickel is essential for a smooth and affordable transition to clean energy. An analysis by the International Energy Agency indicates a “significant gap” between the world’s supply and demand for copper and lithium. Projected supplies will only meet 70% of the copper and 50% of the lithium needed to achieve 2035 climate targets.
Transportation of discharged batteries classified as hazardous waste is one of the costliest steps of the recycling process. Experts suggest updates to federal EPA and DOT regulations for how battery-related waste is classified.
In his opinion, battery recycling issues are even further behind than transitioning the electric grid to renewable energy sources.

Over here I now constantly hear on the radio lately from eg. Kia/Hyundai ads 'Are you confused about what EV to buy, come in and we'll explain which is the best one for you'. No doubt they'll repeat the pack of lies about climate change and to 'do the right thing for the sake of your children future'
Are some ppl that stupid not to do their own research from reputable sources..

Today's children and too many adults get their climate information from a little Swedish girl with developmental issues screaming at them on TikTok rather than a basic geology text book.

The great philosopher Dean Wormer once said:
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

If we actually worried about what is truly important... we would be living in a wildly different country... chances are high that a 3rd party would have already popped up that fights for the middle class.

I think that has more to do with the big picture, global politics, the economy, etc.

A bigger impact on the economy is private equity and C grades only chasing next quarters profit margin to appease shareholders, get rid of anyone with experience as they cost too much, strip a company of all value to cash out and let someone else deal with the carcass left.

Climate change is fake, and is created by the government using weather manipulation technology like seen in Operation Popeye and HAARP. The idea is to create artificial Scarcity and resources, and put everybody at the behest of the government and their demands. This means that we will be relying on the government for basically every type of need, including food and Houston.

Government a around the world are creating food scarcity to force people into eating bugs (because climate change!) and we don’t think electric cars (pushed by these same countries) are a part of this too?

That would imply a level of competence at scale which I've yet to see from either Government or even private industry.
