The “climate change” agenda was born in 1970 (imo to create new jobs to over ride future loss of jobs which happened) and the “training” of the public grew very slowly over decades to a point where these days the “training” of the public has gone too far, and resulted in hysteria.
Huge demonstrations globally demanding that the governments get together and change the climate. Huh??? Its totally impossible for humans to change the weather. Remember Iraq set all those thousands of oil wells on fire? I didn’t see any smoke here. Remember the oil well erupting tons of Oil into the Gulf for a long time? The Exxon Valdez?? It all went away.
Anyway I suspect there is going to be new “training” of the public to learn that the problems and various expenses with fighting the weather is not worth it. It will be like a tax break on society and businesses. Naturally it took 50 years for the agenda to get overwhelming and oppressive and it will take decades to unwind or retrain the public to forget about most of the exaggerated concern.

The strategy session is spurred by a growing recognition among some Republican congressional leaders that the party has for too long ceded the debate over climate change to Democrats, according to three House Republican aides who asked not to be named discussing private deliberations.
“There’s been a lot of credibility given to some really crazy and dangerous and irresponsible ideas, and we’ve got to make sure that we are working to inform and educate the public about the dangers of some of these policies,” Representative Garret Graves of Louisiana, the top Republican on the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, said in an interview.
Graves stressed that quashing fossil fuel development in the U.S. could have the perverse effect of increasing greenhouse gases globally, by making the world more reliant on natural gas from Europe and Russia that generates more emissions.
Democrats are preparing to advance climate change legislation in the House this spring, potentially forcing some Republicans to take tough votes on the issue before the November elections. The Democrats are trying to exploit Republican discord on the topic, amid growing public alarm over global warming and as ambitious proposals for addressing it, such as the Green New Deal, shift the debate over what should be done.
McCarthy said Republicans are identifying “realistic policies” that can build on U.S. progress in lowering emissions “without decimating our own communities and dismantling our economic system as we know it.
Graves stressed that quashing fossil fuel development in the U.S. could have the perverse effect of increasing greenhouse gases globally, by making the world more reliant on natural gas from Europe and Russia that generates more emissions.
“One of the problems where Democrats have misfired is they’ve deemed oil and gas the enemy when the reality is it is emissions you need to be focusing on,” Graves said. Lawmakers need to be “looking at innovative solutions that have been applied in the United States — not these conceptual pipe dreams.”
