The ideology of the left is…. Ideology. What is the left? It seems to be people who love Socialism/Communism and don’t care about facts. They support ideology for the sake of ideology. Their motto should be “who needs the truth if you have ideology”. This is why you can’t win the debate with these climate alarmist clowns. You can’t change the mind of people who have a defacto mental condition. Every doomsday prediction of climate disaster has never happened. It is a cult.

Glad to hear the truth Zion, and to hear of a welcome 'conversion'.

“Climate Change” is a cult. There is no climate emergency. Every weather event is now climate change. This cult is all about control over others. The war on fossil fuels is the war on living. Our planet is fine. Every prediction over the last 50 years as to climate disaster have not come to fruition.

I can understand the passion of wanting to stop a human-made apocalypse. A number of activists look back upon the Holocaust as a cautionary example of what happens when people do not take it upon themselves to act. I remember a younger age when aware that we were mis-informed. “Climate Change” is a difficult issue to check for mis-information because there is no single smoking gun. Luckily, I have a science background; so my threshold for skepticism is lower. People like Zion discover in due time how to more intelligently weigh information.

"He referred to himself as a prophet, and “proved” he was a martyr through regular arrests and stints in jail."

I do not think that word means what he thinks it means.

This person at my office asked me, "why can't they just drink poison koolaide like the rest of the loons? I mean if they aren't going to make it anyway they could at least do the proper thing and get out of the way of the rest of us." I of course would never think or say such a thing and yet felt compelled to share it anyway.... ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

The UN-led effort to shame the west into constricting their economies to control emissions has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with destroying capitalism. This is not just my considered opinion, Saikat Chakrabarti, the author of the Green New Deal, has admitted his goal. So have UN Climate Change officials, Christiana Figueres and Ottmar Edenhofer.

“We do need to replace fossil fuels—“

What is the basis for such an assertion? Actually, we don’t need to replace fossil fuels because some effete elites think so, we need to keep using fossil fuels as long as it’s the most cost-efficient way to produce the energy our prosperity and standard of living depends on.

I am glad to see your advocacy for nuclear power. For serious, fact based environmentalists, leaving nuclear power out of the solutions for the future is irresponsible. Roger Hallam strikes me very much as a Jim Jones type of person. I just hope he doesn't lead his followers down the same path. As far as nuclear energy waste products (the reason for most of the pearl clutching distress about nuclear power), while they are dangerous, they are produced in incredibly small amounts which can be stored where they will not harm life on Earth. Maybe Roger's farm.

If you want to get the real deal about climate change and fossil fuels, look into Alex Epstein’s Substack, Energy Talking Points, https://alexepstein.substack.com/.

He's testified to Congress, written two books. No one has been wiring harder for human flourishing and positive action. See for yourself.

Once again, a leftist ideal becomes a mess when reality steeps in. The left will never learn.

This is like any other cult you’ve heard about though history. Weak minded people being manipulated by people with a god complex. Just think Jonestown massacre.
