We seem to have won, or at least are winning with enough to have made this issue toxic to voters.

Another quote from the great General sums it up:

But I disagree with Tyler Durden in his claim the propaganda started with the Green New Deal back in 2919. On the contrary the propaganda started even before the creation of the IPCC, but metastasized with that corrupt and useless body in 1988.

I should know; I've been fighting with them long enough.

But it did get a huge push from the Green New Deal, no question.

So what was it that slaid the Sky Dragon? People all over knew it for the gaslighting it was, and had the facts to back it up. I still get into Facebook groups where the fighting is fast and furious and people on our side bring the data - and while there are some very good people arguing FOR global warming they are in a losing position and usually have to resort to mockery and sneers - because the facts are not with them.

Which is quite a feat as the information is very hard to find on a web search. Google and the other search engines censor it, and if you find what you want it's usually on page eight or ten. A web search will get you a lot of pages of the same thing - climate alarmism, and it's usually different sources putting up the same content from the same sources.

But the Truth will out, at least in this. The subject is becoming toxic.

Why? Well, the Left pushed too hard too fast.

Remember what was going on in 2019; the pandemic was breaking and the Expert Class was telling us to do all sorts of crazy things, like social distancing. They shut down churches but kept the bars open. They stopped baseball games but said you were safe if you went to a Black Lives Matter protest. They made everyone get the clot shot. Elderly died alone because they would not let the families see them.

I read an article in Psychology Today arguing the pandemic would restore trust in experts and institutions, a trust that had been waning since the days of Obama, certainly, and actually well before. People forget Ronald Reagan often railed against the liberal news media.

But the pandemic did the opposite; people could see for themselves how much they were being lied to, and why. It exposed the gaslighting. And they pushed climate change alarmism right alongside of the pandemic.

Suddenly the "crazy" skeptics didn't look so foolish. And when it became obvious we had arguments rooted deeply in science and not just politics or superstition it became even more obvious - especially since the media flatly refused to even have on "denier" scientists, some of the top people in the field. It was clear there was a propaganda war.

Well, they oversold their product and now they are in the political wilderness; climate alarmism is a toxin politically and they are running away from it. Rightly so; Americans care about other things than a miniscule rise in a trace gas that actually helps plants grow.

But that may change over time. This war is not won. Young children have been taught this from birth and the schools have brainwashed them into believing the world is going to end because of it, that they have no future. It's no doubt part of why young adults, the Gen. Z crowd, aren't marrying and having children - they see no point in it since we're all doomed anyway. (Oddly enough these same types reject the idea of settling on other planets like Mars as they say we'll just "dirty them up like we did the Earth" when there is nothing but rocks to dirty.)

These kids are the future and the Left knows they won their hearts and minds on this issue. They can wait.

And I won't be here forever. My war with Climate Kookery will end when I'm fertilizing the flowers, and most of those who are realists are a bit older and they will one day be gone. The only way we can save thd day permanently is by making sure our knowledge is passed on, and that grows difficult as the internet and other information sources are centralized. It's one of the reasons I hate data centers so much - it's part of the centralization of information.

Anyway we should enjoy our triumph while it lasts. We held back the tide, but tomorrow night it will ris again.
