Just 10 short months ago, Biden and Kamala told us that “climate change,” closely followed by “white supremacy,” were the two biggest threats to America.

Global warming is the perfect fashionable worry for liberals so they can talk about it like they know something about science — all with no quantifiable metrics to ever dispute their “grave” concerns.

Apparently, we have won the war on “global warming” the same way government “wins” most wars, like COVID in 2020 and the Vietnam War in 1975; they got too expensive, and we got tired of hearing about them, so we just declared them over.

Can you remember any of the fearful warnings that government rained on us that panned out? The Domino Theory in Vietnam, acid rain, smog, holes in the ozone layer, nuclear plants shuttered, Y2K, weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the marauding Muslim armies that would come to our shores if we did not fight them “over there …” Then came the Russian hoax, and draconian COVID-shutdowns.

Those in power tend to scare us with fake fears, and then they act like they solved the problem. Government’s mantra seems to be, “Everything is worse than you think, but I can fix it.” The murkier and more pretentiously moral the “crisis,” the better; then they set out to solve those mythical problems of their own creation. Every answer Dems come up with gives them more power and taxes us more.
