At some point you’d think that the Cult would get the notion that the constant doom and gloom, apocalyptic type stories are not helping their cause. People tune out. It’s no wonder that 25+ years of spreading awareness has failed
Climate change is World War III, and we are leaderless
“World War III is well and truly underway. And we are losing,” writes environmental activist Bill McKibben, so when Malcolm Turnbull implied that the insurgency that demolished his government was based on climate ideology, what lessons are there for Scott Morrison?
As a child in Britain during WWII, I lived in a street of mothers and children. Every father was away fighting. Each house and garden was surrounded by a metal palisade fence. (blah blah blah)
Two of the world’s highest per capita carbon emitters, the United States and Australia, have deserted the trenches of WWIII by trading ideology for human lives and health.
The US response to the climate threat has been withdrawal from the Paris agreement and a full-frontal attack on the US Environmental Protection Authority, a national defence against climate change, pollution and ill-health — as irrational as if the Germans had demolished their “Siegfried Line” of WWII.

But leadership by an emerging Churchill or Roosevelt is much more difficult than in WWII. Leadership will need to explain the pots and pans needing to be sacrificed today.
Mr Churchill’s stirring “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds”, an easily understood message of WWII, has to become equally inspirational on changes in lifestyle, personal commitment to curbing rampant consumerism, energy transition, efficient recycling, modifying diet and conserving biodiversity and, ultimately, a sharing of finite resources and economic sacrifice.
In other words, they’re looking for some leader to step up to force people to accept even more government rule over their lives. They should be careful what they wish for: they just might get it. And then wonder where all their liberty went.
Yeah Europe definitely needs another Churchill to step up and lead the fight. The fight against socialism in the guise of climate change alarmism claiming to care about your well being.
“A communist is like a crocodile: when it opens its mouth you cannot tell whether it is trying to smile or preparing to eat you up.”
