I very much doubt if Greenpeace, or at least the leaders of Greenpeace, believe their own climate catastrophism narrative. These people believe that democracy is not centred on the people but on the “consensus” of the global institutions, as carefully curated by an amorphous body of authoritarian tyrants intent on settling up an undemocratic New World Order.

Hope lies with Donald Trump and the majority of the American people who have elected him (again) as president knowing that he has openly called “climate change” a hoax and is setting about dismantling the unelected NGOs and other undemocratic bodies whose time of “calling the shots” is hopefully coming to an end, at least in the USA.

The testimony of the former US State Department Cyber Division head Mike Benz, a long 2 hour 40 minutes but worth the effort, gives an excellent insight into the labyrinth of deep state bodies set up over many decades which in recent times have been turned against the democracy of the people: https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/understanding-the-deep-state-joe-rogans-fascinating-interview-with-mike-benz-part-5/.

Absolutely - it is the consensus of the global institutions, whom have no obligation to consult the people it claims to represent. The Mike Benz interview looks gruelling, but I might just step in! Cheers for comment Douglas.

My own children's homework on this topic is pure propaganda. I showed my children a time lapse video of a narrow peninsula over 40 years. Not. A. Single. Change. They still fought me with "but our teacher says sea levels are rising mother". Terrifying that even with video evidence they persist with the school programming.

That really is terrifying isn’t it. Teacher says so it must be true .

Great stuff Tom. Our government doesn’t just teach kids to be terrified of things that pose no genuine threat to them, like Covid and CO2 emissions, it also teaches them not to be scared of things that should absolutely terrify them, and actually wish to cause them untold harm, like religious extremism, gender cults, and socialism.

Hi there, we really should meet up with a certain mutual friend. And Cheers for reading. And you're right. They teach them nothing that they should and everything that they shouldn't . The pesky 'they'.

Alas, I fear that the problem for those protesters will not hit home until there is no energy, not just that it is too expensive. when the lights and heat go out because of failed policies, at least some minds will be changed.

Let's hope, then, that the lights go out one country at a time, giving those of us lucky enough not to live in the first blighted country the ability to persuade the majority of our countrymen that they have been deceived, that there is time to demand change, and the will to bring about that change.

Sadly, I fear, I do live in that blighted country.

Every word of this: “As we saw with Covid, that evidently posed children no risk, the failure of adults to cushion children from things they have no need to fear is a seemingly modern phenomenon; negligence in protecting kids now something to celebrate.” 👏👏👏
