It started with a book called The Population Bomb.

Said the growing population combined with word drought would kill everyone by starvation.

Remember the propaganda movie, Soylent Green?

Once the drought didn’t come it was an ice age coming.

Then acid rain
Hole in the ozone
Global warming
Rising oceans


Now we are at climate change plus pandemic.


A lot of people love being afraid, I think it gives them some feeling of community to worry about something in a large group. There's also likely an aspect of control to it as they are able to say "we can control this if we just do x, y & z", which is essentially the same thing as throwing virgins into a volcano to hope it appeases the earth gods into not making the volcano blow up (which is why the adherents cling to it with the fervor of a religious zealot).

Because the climate is always changing anyway so use a basic fact to push an agenda

Conservation is where it started and Teddy Roosevelt was the first President to kick it off.

It’s been part of the Progressive platform ever since. The 60’s rebranded it environmentalism. Today, climate change. The government is the only solution. Same message, different branding.

It’s not a new thing. Now the hysteria is most certainly new.
So too is the acquired dearth of understanding that the sun actually warms and cools. It's quite a challenge to uneducate, then indoctrinate, an entire population over the course of a century.

When the new Ice Age that was foretold in the late 60s/70s didn't happen, and once it became clear peak oil was a myth, thr watermelons needed a new way to attack the West.

Al Gore (after inventing the internet) decided he needed a way to pay the energy bills for his 8k sq ft mansions and to keep his anti-rock music crusading c unt of a wife flush in pant suits.

Al Gore became a BILLIONAIRE, that's how.

Been a scam for DC and globalists from the start.

Way before that. Gore didn’t create it, but he promoted it. It started way back in the 70’s.

Energy crisis became a hole in the ozone layer which became global warming which became climate change. This scam has been going for nearly 60 years.

There were a few big social milestones to get the climate change narrative going and as mentioned already Al Gore in the early 2000 poured a lot of fuel on the fire. But a big milestone prior to Al Gore was James Hansen's Senate Testimony in 1988:

The thing is the whole overpopulation thing would have taken care of itself if we didn't subsidize population growth in the third world. Population growth in the western world and the civilized parts of Asia fell off a cliff during the 20th and 21st centuries.
