Chris Morrison – The Daily Sceptic April 21, 2023
Scepticism about human-caused climate change continues to increase around the world. A recent poll conducted by a group within the University of Chicago found that belief in humans causing all or most climate change had slumped in America to 49% from the 60% level recorded just five years ago. Similar falls have been recorded elsewhere, with a recent IPSOS survey covering two thirds of the world’s population revealing that nearly four people in every 10 believe climate change is mainly due to natural causes.
Perhaps the most surprising statistic from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) survey is that 70% of Americans are unwilling to spend more than $2.50 a week to combat climate change. Nearly four in 10 Americans said they were unwilling to pay a couple of dimes. Despite decades of relentless green doomsday agitprop designed to corral populations into living under a collectivist Net Zero-ordered society, it appears that the vast majority of Americans are unwilling to pay even the chump change in their back pockets to stop the climate changing.
Surveys such as EPIC and IPSOS speak to the fundamental flaw in the ‘settled’ science surrounding the suggestion that humans burning fossil fuel are causing the climate to breakdown. The hypothesis is unproven – not a single science paper provides conclusive proof. Natural causes and the proposition that carbon dioxide becomes ‘saturated’ beyond certain atmospheric levels are more convincing explanations for scientific observations. Fears that mainstream climate science is heavily corrupted by faulty data, pseudoscientific modelling and outright political cherry-picking are becoming more widespread.
Interestingly, the recent overall fall in support for human-caused climate change in the U.S. is due to Democrats and Independents.

Scepticism levels remain high among Republicans but there have been dramatic increases among Left-leaning Democrats. Nevertheless, Democrats were found to be more likely than Republicans to be influenced by the ‘evidence’ of what is called ‘extreme’ weather (71% vs 30% for Democrats vs Republicans). This news will bring some comfort to green propogandists since the recent lack of noticeable global warming has led to a massive rise in pseudoscientific attributions of single weather events to overall climate change. Personal observations are said to influence 55% of Democrats, compared with 20% of Republicans, while appeals to higher authority play better on the Left than the Right. News coverage ranks higher for Democrats at 47% vs 20% , while scientists, most of whom go along with the ‘settled’ agenda, score 73% against just 32% for more sceptical Republicans.
EPIC also found that scepticism was rising among young people aged between 18-29 with a 17% decline in numbers who think humans play a predominant role in changing the climate. The drop was just as significant for those who graduated from college as those with a high school diploma (11%). Of considerable interest was this 17% fall compared with just a 9% drop for those aged over 60. This will concern alarmists, since the impressionable young are heavily targeted with green agitprop from an early age.
The IPSOS survey found that levels of climate scepticism were similar in all age categories. As with EPIC, it found that political leanings were decisive. In the seven countries where political input was sought, 28% of supporters of the Left turned out to be climate sceptics, compared with 50% on the Right.
Is it surprising that climate scepticism is increasing throughout the world? As noted, anthropogenic climate science rests on a shaky evidence base, which no amount of debate cancellation, modelling, invented attributions and data manipulation can hide. Over nearly 50 years, laudable environmental concerns have been hijacked to promote a collectivist, controlling political agenda. But decades of easy virtue-signalling are coming to an end, and the harsh realities of Net Zero are starting to become obvious. Claims that the green revolution will be largely painless are seen for the nonsense they are by the realistic Net Zero appraisal publicised by the Government-funded U.K. FIRES collaborative project.
According to the FIRES report, written by a number of British academics, Net Zero means just 60% of current levels of food cooking, heating and energy by 2050. Within less than 30 years there will be no beef and lamb, and all flying and shipping will have to stop. Road use will be restricted to 60% of today’s levels. There will be no cement, and the only steel available will be recycled. Norman Fenton, the recently retired Professor of Risk Information Management at Queen Mary University of London, noted that these conclusions are consistent with UN/WEF Agenda 21, the UN ‘World at 2050’ agenda and the WEF Great Reset. The latter, noted Fenton, incorporates ‘Build Back Better’ in which you’ll “own nothing and be happy”, and eat bugs instead of meat.
Another senior academic, the nuclear physicist Dr. Wallace Manheimer, recently warned that Net Zero would lead to the end of modern civilisation. The new green infrastructure will fail, cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment, and be entirely unnecessary. Manheimer noted that before fossil fuel became widely used, energy was provided by people and animals. Because so little energy was produced, “civilisation was a thin veneer atop a vast mountain of human squalour and misery, a veneer maintained by such institutions as slavery, colonialism and tyranny”.

‘Continues to increase’. Here’s another article about the musings of thicko sheeple. We don’t have 10 or twenty years to ponder this none story. Are we supposed to then wait another 20yrs so the sheeple can catch up with what’s realy going on, by which time, it’ll be too late.
Still 49%. How stupid can people be?
Oh, oh, you’re all breathing too much… oh, there’s no climate change, & then, never mind, you’re all going to starve or fry. This time frame, 60yrs of wasted time, all because thicko sheeple can’t think for themselves.
Still think Dr Vernon Coleman is probably correct in postulating that the Oligarchs have calculated that we will soon be running out of oil, so are intent in conserving it for themselves, at the general population’s expense. As Neil Oliver, recently commented “If they were lying to us about the pandemic, what else have they been lying to us about?” Post pandemic, more and more people are waking up to the realisation the government lies and has lied about virtually everything and cannot be trusted.
Climate change is a globalist LIE.
Piers Corbyn gatecrashed an Extinction Rebellion church service to tell them they’re working for the Devil and the media call him a climate denier. He’s a meteorologist. But their unqualified fact-checkers know better?

How can there be “Man Made GLOBAL Warming” when we do NOT live on a Globe?
The Earth is a “Flat plane.”
Why would a planet spin? There is no reason for a planet to spin.
This Earth does NOT fly through space at 66,600 MPH. (666)
We are lied to by these evil people.
CO2 is apparently 0.04% of our atmospheric gasses – That is 4 per cent of 1 per cent of the atmosphere ! The plants use CO2 to produce energy in the form of sugars via the process of photosynthesis – The amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is infinitely small and plant life will be adversely affected if the level of CO2 is allowed to fall. Man made climate change is a completely false narrative, invented by those who seek to impose political control over the masses.
Forgive me for posting this ‘off topic’ post here but there was no other article on TT today relevant for this. I do think it’s important though and would like you all to read it.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and also been coming across replies on the internet, from others, on the April 24th (tomorrow) emergency alarm, on mobiles and tablets, at 15:00.
Why are they doing this? For what reason? What’s the purpose?
There’s a video doing the rounds on various outlets of people walking through a city and then all at once they just drop dead. People of course were saying that it’s the graphene, in the vaccines, all reacting, at once to a high powered wave from 5G. It’s beginning to make sense.
Here’s a comment I read on a Telegram post:
“I have read that a boost of 5G to 16-18mhz will breakdown the lipid coating around the jab contents and release the poisons causing hemoragic fever (Marburg/Ebola type).
They are looking to bring about the biggest ever jab programme ever which will be the kill shot.
The frequency strength required to send out the emergency alert could be the required frequency.”
Another comment:
“Okay just think for one minute on this please.
They’re doing the alarm thing on Sunday, well there are 97.23 million mobile connections in the UK,
85.01 million active mobile devices and 12.22 million connected things. 98% of the adult population have a mobile phone making 1.37 active connections per ahead of population.
Now imagine all them going off at once all at the same time now you would have to send a frequency and a wave across the UK at the exact same time to every phone.
Now trust me know when I see turn them off before 3:00 p.m on that day. That frequency or wave will be extremely high for it to happen at the exact same time. They are not testing the alarm they are testing the magnitude of the frequency and the impact of the wave. Please turn your devices off. Trust me and stay away from large crowds. What you will witness will not be an natural occurrence. It will be man-made. Not natural-not good. Remember.”
Take of this, what you will, but it’s certainly worth thinking about. What could this be? Could this possibly be an immediate Marburg virus scenario, where people’s orifices, who have been vaccinated, start bleeding profusely? Could this be all about scaring ALL the non jabbed into thinking that the Marburg virus is here and everyone has to get jabbed, bringing in MANDATORY vaccinations or imprisonment for those who don’t take it? And of course, when people start dying from the Marburg virus vaccination, they’ll just say that the vaccination sadly didn’t work for this NEW VARIANT of Marburg they’ve just discovered?
Interesting. They’re ramping up the terror. Remember that they’ve stated the next pandemic will be much worse?
it is the sun + 100 siberian Methane craters ,
NORDSTREAM2 + american fraction holes !
fracking holes + arctic Methane bubbles !

CC is BS. If there is any climate problems it’ll be from governments interference spraying crap in the atmosphere. I guess you could call that moronic man made CC.
As for CO2….. 0.04% of of one percent of the atmosphere is way too small to cause any problems. If anything CO2 increases/decreases with natural atmospheric warming in between cold/hot periods. CO2 is automatically adjusted. When it goes up plant life flourishes and tends to lower it. When it goes down Plant life decreases allowing CO2 to build up.
Without it everything dies,,, including you.
Adding these climate clowns like NOAA and ‘scientists’ that cannot predict weather a week in advance but claim they can predict what the weather was 600 million years ago. Gimme a break!
Now they’re adding chemicals to limit cows farts and belching. Probably about as effective as the ‘science’ claiming masks could prevent a fake virus or the shot is safe and effective.
Everything today is 100% cow pies.
CO2 has never forced temperatures on earth, even though it has been 10-20 higher than today. There was an ice age 300 million years ago with CO2 over 3,000 ppm (current CO2 is 420 ppm)
CO2 is currently near all time geological lows, and in the last glaciation, which ended only 20,000 years ago, CO2 was down to dangerously low levels of 180 ppm which kills plants. Farming is only possible when CO2 gets above 240 ppm.
Just 20,000 years ago Canada was under 1-2 miles of ice, and oceans were 120 meters lower. Then the ice melted – that took 10,000 years – oceans level went up to current levels, and CO2 came out of ocean water to 280 ppm which had nothing to do with humans.

The ice was so massive and so heavy, it gouged out the Finger Lakes of upstate New York, leaving eratics all over the landscape. This warm spell we are under is called the Holocene, and peak temps of the Holocene occured at least 8,000 years ago, and since then it has been cooling. And since CO2 is not control the thermodynamics of the planet, that means the ice age, which we are still in, will progress as it always does, and cooling will continue for the next 100,000 years – until the next interglacial, which is a 100,00 year cycle.

The MSM narrative about CO2 and climate change is utter bull shit, and if you believe it you are a stupid dumbass.
If you have a high school education and can read, then read this:
https://www.serendipity.li/climate/hieb/greenhouse_data.html
Man made CO2 is 0.117% of the global warming effect, which is so low it can not be measured – and it is the fundamental reason why global warming computer models fail.
Let’s begin by the most fundamental lie first: The Earth is FLAT. Once people get it through their thick skulls, then they will begin to unravel all other smaller lies. If they have lied to you about the shape of the Earth you walk on every day, they can lie to you about anything….
Did you know that every glaciation starts with high CO2 and ends with low CO2?
Yes Virginia, during the interglacial, with CO2 at the highest level, the earth goes back into a deep freeze.
Then after 100,000 years of huge ice sheets, so much ice the oceans drop 300 feet! with CO2 at extremely low levels the earth warms.
Think people think! Just that fact alone destroys the CO2 driven climate narrative. Every climate scientist knows this, but you will never see a one on the Jewtube, because facts go against the Jew narrative. So who is on the Jew tube telling you about climate science? Al Gore, who has never taken a single college level science course! Has no degree in climatology, just like high school flunk out Greta Thunberg.
Like a teenager drop out knows anything about anything. Yet little Greta screams “how dare you” because she has been brainwashed by the stupid tube and thinks the world is coming to an end. At Davos this winter, Al Gore said the oceans were boiling. Well if the oceans ever boil there will be no life on land at that point.
So what this means is the entire world population has shit between their ears because of how effective electronic programming, where one retard in front of the camera can say some bullshit and that signal goes out the airwaves or over cables and ends up in every mind on the planet. And because of that programming, the populace thinks we need electric cars or we need to ban natural gas stoves. This is UNF-CKING BELIEVABLE, THEY ARE SHUTTING IT ALL DOWN BASED ON A BUNCH OF STUPID CLIMATE LIES.
And if you think that is bad, this little nerd pedo homo dipshit, Bill Gates, wants to blot out the sun to stop warming – when in fact the planet has been cooling for the last 8,000 years. And what does Bill Gates know about science or climate? Nothing! He is another school dropout.
@|White Elephant
Since TPTB don’t give a fig about the masses, you are right to look for an ulterior motive.
In the same vein…
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/london-marathon-runners-tracker-2023-29768205
‘The 2023 London Marathon will get underway on Sunday morning with runners of all ages and abilities taking to the streets of the English capital.
The 43rd staging of the event is back in its usual April slot, with the Covid-19 pandemic having forced the famous race to be pushed back to the autumn in 2022. Around 50,000 people will take on the 26.2 miles between Greenwich and the Mall, with thousands of pounds being raised for charity in the process.
And whilst spotting your friends and family on the streets or even via television might prove difficult, there is a way to track every step of their progress. You can even send messages of support from afar which can be read when they reach the finish line.
Mo Farah says London Marathon will be his last major race and pleas with activists not to ruin it
Race organisers hit back at ultra-marathon runner who claims they knew she used a car
The TCS London Marathon’s official mobile app allows you track individual runners. Updates on their progress are calculated using timing mats which are placed at five-kilometre markers throughout the route.
The Android version is available here and the iPhone version here. Jason Ochoa, from the London Marathon team, has previously explained: “The app basically pulls in all the information from our timing system.
“That information is based on timing mats that runners cross over after every five kilometers. The app extrapolates from pace a rough position of each runner between each five kilometers.” ‘
Forget penalities, corners, and red cards, the betting might be on how many drop dead during this race…
TemplarGR,
As you know, I was the first to bring up flat earth on TT to much ridicule. They really don’t get it. They’re incapable of understanding that we live in a bubble, outside of us water. They fail to realise that the sun is 70 miles up along with the moon. Both of these facts destroy:
1. Any promotion of alien invasion, therefore no universal army to combat against it, meaining no world government.
2. Any destruction of the earth by a meteor/asteroid, sun flare, sun explosion. So there’s more fear out of the window.
3. What is written in the bible is very real indeed and that the prophecies within, especially of the drying up of the river Euphrates and the unbinding of the four fallen angels.
4. We are not SPINNING, nor moving at millions of miles through the universe.
5. No ozone layer, meaning no harmful gases, meaning HASTA LA VISTA climate change and everything they wish to implement because of it – carbon taxes, end of fossil fuels, no need for alternate sources of energy like hideous and useless wind turbines and of course 15 mins ultra low emission zones (ULEZ).
Guaranteed people, upon realising thhat heliocentrism is a lie will also uncover many more lies, such as no dinosaurs, we’re not from Africa and therefore of black people and of course oil is a natural INFINITE resource meaning an end and incarceration of oil barons and their top management.
Flat earth OBLITERATES pretty much everything TPTB want to initiate.
What frustrates me, the most, is how all the so called ‘awake’ people on this earth, who speak out against the jews, the freemasons, the holocaust, the nwo (and call out the lies of Cromwell, the British Empire, all the wars, all the false flags etc) fail to see that heliocentrism is the BIGGEST HOAX of all.
Simon Smith,
Thank you for that. I didn’t know it was the marathon, because I no longer follow rubbish like this, as I’ve not owned a TV, radio since 2005, nor read any print media (including on the internet) since around the same time.
Ah, so they’re now promoting big brother as a means of good, to track runners? What a complete and utter waste of time, but understandable because there will be many who will love this intrusion. But yes, how better to whack hundreds of thousands, by getting everyone to watch a marathon.
Flat Elephant–you haven’t “been doing a lot of thinking lately”, and it looks like you never will
