"John Kerry said earlier this month that we’ve reached “the last best opportunity we have to get real and serious” about global warming. What’s the difference between him and a loon walking down Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue wearing one of those sandwich boards proclaiming the end of the world is nigh? We’re struggling to see any.

"Kerry, the Biden administration’s special presidential envoy for climate – an office that amounts to much less than a bucket of warm spit – is part of a chorus of fearmongering that goes back more than three decades. 

“ 'In 1989 the United Nations gave us 10 years to save the world,” science site Watts Up With That posted last year. 

"Guess blogger Eric Worrall then went on to list more than a dozen “last chances” to stop global warming.

“ 'If we do not heed this last chance, I’m sure there will be another last chance in the near future, just like all the previous last chances,” he said.

"Dire, way-off-base predictions have been the hallmark of radical environmentalism for at least a half century. Reason’s Ronald Bailey took “a look back” in 2020 at the first Earth Day and the forecasters “who got the future wrong.” He notes that the world did not have to halve the planet’s population or stop economic growth completely “to prevent the imminent ecological cataclysm.' ” . . .
