We expect the alarmists, if any of them read this, will accuse us of being paid off by the oil industry. If only. We could use the cash.

"The end is near. That’s what we’ve been told since the beginning. The doomsdayers have cited a variety of cataclysms that will do us in, from asteroids to resource exhaustion to a dying sun. But they all have one thing in common: So far, they’ve all been wrong. Same with the climate alarmists. And the public is catching on.
"A study, published by the Stanford University School of Sustainability, no less, found that “resistance to climate action has become a global movement that strengthens after governments implement climate-related policies.”
“ 'We found that counter climate change organizations tend to emerge after pro-environmental policies are institutionalized in government,” said the study’s senior author.
"Of course they do. As our friends at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity observed, this has happened “maybe because the war on fossil fuels has deindustrialized Germany and many other European nations. Maybe it’s because green energy is so much more expensive to produce. Maybe because the biggest polluters like China have done nothing.”
"Let’s add another “maybe.” The resistance is likely also based on a growing skepticism. We have been bombarded by global warming scare stories for more than three decades and yet we’re still here. No matter how much the alarmists cheat, lie, obfuscate and bully, it’s obvious that the entire narrative is based on assumptions, speculation and political ideology. Every claim they make can be easily refuted. To name a few, which we’ll call the big three:
"We just lived through the hottest year/month/week/day on record. This is meaningless. Hottest compared to what? The only reliable measure we have is from satellite readings that go back to only 1979 and they show nothing to get worked up about.
"All other data are entirely unreliable. Mixing tree rings, mercury thermometer records that are “adjusted,” numbers from nonexistent and compromised weather stations and modern equipment to whip up widespread fear is scientific malpractice." . . .
UPDATE: People Are Increasingly Skeptical of the Climate Scolds - Because the Scolds Are So Often Wrong "A great man once said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
"And yet that's what the climate doom-cryers have been trying to do for the last few decades, from Al "I've never gotten over the 2000 election" Gore to the Swedish Doom Pixie Greta "How DARE you!" Thunberg." Remainder behind a pay wall.
