Remember! The grants END if there's no catastrophe!-----From CO2 to Social Justice: The Guardian’s Climate Gospel Goes Full Cult Charles Rotter

A new revelation from the high temple of emotional climatology: climate change is no longer about physics, but “a crisis of justice.” 

Yes, really. The headline of Friederike Otto’s latest opus in The Guardian shrieks like an undergraduate activist with a bullhorn: “Climate change is not just a problem of physics but a crisis of justice.” 

Because when your models don’t model reality, and your predictions flop harder than a tofu burger at a Texas BBQ, simply pivot the narrative—from science to sociology...
The opening line is a tour de force in climate sanctimony:

“My research as a climate scientist is in attribution science. Together with my team, I analyse extreme weather events and answer the questions of whether, and to what extent, human-induced climate change has altered their frequency, intensity and duration.

In other words, Otto is in the business of telling us that every flood, drought, or oddly warm Tuesday is your SUV’s fault. 

Attribution science, for the uninitiated, is the art of retroactively blaming the atmosphere’s every sneeze on Western industry, by way of probabilistic hand-waving wrapped in opaque jargon.
