There are at least tens of thousands of people who have dedicated their lives and their life energy to understanding and “combating” global warming. Other than those few who have done something interesting, like figure out how to store solar energy in batteries (very interesting), all of them have wasted their lives. Global warming, aka human induced climate change, is a giant snipe hunt. It is the dishonest in pursuit of the abusive, and perhaps even the diabolical. None of us know how far the lunatic globalists are capable of going if we are ever foolish enough to give them the power they want, but I don’t think most of Lenin’s early followers anticipated induced famines killing millions, and rooms dedicated to political murder and torture.
But wasting your life: that is a hard pill to swallow. This, alone, would be sufficient to account for the persistence of this error.
