The New York Times has a thumbs up opinion about the fear mongering by the global warming alarmist... it is a fun read... filled with humorous ironies dating back to the Y2K terror, and Frankenstein... etc...

Then at the end of the article I have several actual headlines in the news... today... about the reality of Yahweh making human boasting that humanity can control the climate look like gibberish... which it is.

New York Times

IT seems so distant, 1999. Bill Clinton had survived impeachment, his popularity hardly dented, Sept. 11 was just another date and music fans were enjoying a young singer named Britney Spears.

But there was a particular unease in the air. The so-called Y2K problem.... Haywire navigation controls might cause aircraft to fall from the skies. Electricity grids, water systems and telephone networks would be knocked out, while nuclear power plants would be subject to meltdown.....

.... The Rev. Jerry Falwell suggested that Y2K would be the confirmation of Christian prophecy, “God’s instrument to shake this nation, to humble this nation.” The Y2K crisis might incite a worldwide revival that would lead to “the rapture of the church.” Along with many survivalists, Mr. Falwell advised stocking up on food and guns....

.... However, exactly 10 years ago today, as the date change moved on through the Far East, India, Russia, the Middle East and Europe, it became apparent that it made little difference whether you lived in Britain, which at great expense had revamped many of its computer systems, or the lackadaisical Ukraine.... By the time midnight reached the United States, where upward of $100 billion had been spent on Y2K fixes, there was little anxiety....

...The theme of our fancy inventions ultimately destroying us has been a favorite in fiction at least since Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.”....

....Apocalyptic scenarios are a diversion from real problems — poverty, terrorism, broken financial systems... But turning practical problems into cosmic cataclysms takes us further away from actual solutions.

This applies, in my view, to the towering seas, storms, droughts and mass extinctions of popular climate catastrophism. Such entertaining visions owe less to scientific climatology than to eschatology, and that familiar sense that modernity and its wasteful comforts are bringing us closer to a biblical day of judgment. As that headline put it for Y2K, predictions of the end of the world are often intertwined with condemnations of human “folly, greed and denial.” Repent and recycle!

As the Times article stated, the fear mongering for dollars has governments spending their money on the exact opposite of what needs to be done in preparing humanity for the actual coming needs for food production and shelter as a result of our slumbering sun and the present suffering that is only going to become worse this winter... and probably for several years to come.

A great start for our New Year.
