Speaking at a Heritage Foundation event in Florida, Donald Trump attacked climate-change catastrophizing.
“One of the most urgent tasks, not only for our movement but for our country, is to decisively defeat the climate hysteria hoax,” Trump declared. Fearmongering about the climate is destroying America’s economy, weakening our society, and eviscerating the middle class, Trump argued. “It’s helping fuel runaway inflation.” He grasps the political necessity of calling out climate hysteria for what it is. “The radical Left is advancing hysterical predictions and catastrophic power plays to control our entire society.” Indeed, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - the supreme fount of green ideology—says that net-zero climate policies provide the opportunity for “intentional societal transformation.” Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celcius above pre-industrial levels—a purely arbitrary target lacking any scientific or economic justification—requires “rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land, urban and infrastructure and industrial systems,” the IPCC says.
Released in March, the IPCC’s latest report pushing its favored solutions to climate change highlights “the importance of fundamental changes in society.”
Trump condemned the foundational tenet of environmentalism, one that has become an article of faith for the Davos set. “We must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. They are the heirs of yesterday’s foolish fortune-tellers.” Indeed, they predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s; mass starvation in the 1970s; and an “end of oil” in the 1990s.
“These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives,” Trump said.
Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich and Prince Charles [among others] are serial failures as forecasters, repeatedly expressing certitude about apocalyptic climate events that didn’t happen.
If environmentalism were grounded in science and rationality, these persistent failures would lead to climate alarmism being dialed down—instead, the opposite has happened. But environmentalism isn’t about reason and evidence. It is a powerful ideology opposed to freedom and capitalism for its success in bringing hitherto undreamt levels of prosperity to the masses.
“Conservative leaders, think tanks, and intellectuals must be fearless in calling out the lunacy of what you’re seeing,” Trump said.

Yes, it has always been, from its inception, a hoax designed to incite mass hysteria in the masses.
It uses all the same devices of religion - sin, guilt, penance, and redemption, apocalypse and salvation - to manipulate and control.
Its another shining example of the completely fraudulent and evil nature of the Left.
