Personally, it’s a tough choice between allowing scientists with agenda muck with the data, manufacture data, spin data, and so forth, or not pushing members of the Cult of Climastrology to practice what they preach from the top down. The Sydney Morning Herald’s Ross Gittins has a different idea

The biggest mistake we’ve made on climate change

…..

The biggest mistake we’ve made is to allow our politicians to turn concern about global warming into a party-political issue, and do so merely for their own short-term advantage.

The initial motives may have been short term, but the adverse effects have been lasting. These days, for a Liberal voter to worry about climate change is to be disloyal to their party and give comfort to the enemy.

Apparently, only socialists think their grandkids will have anything to worry about. The right-thinkers among us know the only bad thing our offspring will inherit is Labor’s debt.

Global warming used not to be, shouldn’t be and doesn’t have to stay a right-versus-left issue. In Europe it’s bipartisan. Margaret Thatcher was a vocal fighter for action on climate change, and the Conservative Party is anti-denial to this day.

See, politicizing it is bad, so, hey, let’s politicize it! Thatcher may have originally been a anthropogenic climate change believer, but, as evidence came out, she became a skeptic. Funny how Ross forgets to mention that, eh? Why? Because that wouldn’t fit the Narrative.

Further, Gittins seems to be placing most of the blame on Skeptics, rather than people on the political left (who are really on the right of the political scale, in the Authoritarian models, like Fascism. In theory, Socialism and Communism are to the left, because of the limited roles of government. In practice, way to the right, bigger and strong and more centralized government) who hijacked what might have been actual science to use it to push their hardcore government control policies. This especially happened with the fall of the Soviet Union, and so many of the Commies and Commie lovers invaded and hijacked the environmental movement and started using anthropogenic global warming as their base platform.

And this has been political ever since, so you get things like this

We must take on science-deniers who insist climate change doesn’t exist. Even those in the White House. https://t.co/kTBKhKB1f8

What does she mean by “take on”? So many of her Warmist comrades mean silence, jail, and even murder Skeptics. Does she feel that way? Crazy Uncle Bernie had an official policy during his run for president of “bringing climate deniers to justice.” So, even going well beyond Kamala’s threat of infringing on 1st Amendment rights.

Making the issue political was never a bug: it was a feature.
