The Church of Global Warming's "Great Disappointment"


Believe! All great religions are based on the premise they are right and others are wrong. Faith enables one to fearlessly dance with snakes, while casting a disapproving eye on the unbelievers. The only venom to fear is your common sense. Join the dance, or perish in a hellish fire of your own making!

Well, I don’t dance with snakes and I sure as hell don’t subscribe to this man-made global warming nonsense. The historical record is replete with catastrophic climate change. Libtards, however, believe history started on the day of their birth, or at least, with the advent of the industrial revolution. Within my own lifetime, we’ve had Chicken Littles running around decrying the end of civilization as we know it. Here is an excerpt from PJ Media:


There is a lot of unclassified baloney as well. The American Enterprise Institute compiled a list of 18 predictions made around the time of Earth Day in 1970 which forecast that the world should have ended by now.

Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” ...

“Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born,” wrote Paul Ehrlich in a 1969 essay titled “Eco-Catastrophe! “By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.” ...

Kenneth Watt warned about a pending Ice Age in a speech. “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

Unlike narratives rooted in secret, estimates of this sort derive most of their authority from virtue. Their legitimacy comes from noble intentions, from pleas to save the planet. The falsity of those 1970 predictions is inconsequential. Today there are many more successor predictions and insofar as their adherents are concerned, all of them are true.


Climate change is a religion to these people. At what point in time will they put down the snakes and reflect upon their stupidity?

I’m reminded of the Millerites in the 19th century. Their leader, William Miller, prophesied the second coming on October 22, 1844. Maybe if Mr. Miller had access to today’s technology, he could’ve produced a computer model that was more accurate. He could’ve learned a thing or two from today’s proselytizers with their 10 to 12 year, fire and brimstone scenarios. However, I doubt Mr. Miller would have finagled his numbers to suit his needs; he was a true believer and these so-called scientist are definitely not.

The Millerites learned their lesson. They looked upon this moment as “The Great Disappointment” and reformed their church. One must wonder if today’s climatologist are capable of such discernment.
