"Here we go again…
A new bombshell report from the United States government has been released on the issue of “Climate Change,” which says that we are all soon going to be destroyed by the impact of rising temperatures.
Liberals and the media have, predictably, pounced on the findings as vindication of their already religious-level belief in the concept.
...I do not currently believe that the case for catastrophic man-made Global Warming/Climate Change has been convincingly made. In fact I am offended by the extreme arrogance of those who routinely act like holding such a position is akin to committing blasphemy against some sort of new-age religion.
If the proof is so damn overwhelming, then why not just persuade us conservatives with the facts?
Contrary to liberal perception, there actually are some sound reasons for the reluctance of many conservatives to buy into cataclysmic climate scenarios.
Here are ten of them:
- A dramatic change in branding: When the name got altered from “Global Warming” to “Climate Change,” it felt like we were being scammed and that, because it was still getting very cold in all the places where it should be, liberals simply needed a re-branding which gave them more flexibility...
- The climate has always changed..
- “The debate is over” argument...
- Over-the-top predictions that never seem to come true...
- Where is the real world impact?: As Walter Mondale famously asked of Gary Hart (via a then-famous Wendy’s commercial), “Where’s the beef?” If the climate is obviously changing so rapidly, why aren’t we seeing clear-cut deviations from what we are used to?...
- Doom is always just far enough away: History has shown us that there is very little downside to someone claiming that, unless we listen to them, we are all doomed (it’s literally a “can’t lose” prediction!)...
That’s just ten reasons why there is skepticism on the right, and why liberal efforts to quash that skepticism continue to fail.
