One of my favorite political comic strips is Prickly City:

What do you do when no one seems to be listening, time is running out, and you still want to get your way? You panic, because you fear that before too long you’ll be known as a fraud, and you’ll be a has-been that is the butt of everyone’s jokes. The last gasp is to ramp up the Panic Machine to try and instill it in others:

Climate change is occurring far more rapidly than even the worst predictions of the UN’s Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change, Al Gore said on Thursday.

Recent evidence shows “the climate crisis is significantly worse and unfolding more rapidly than those on the pessimistic side of the IPCC projections had warned us,” climate campaigner and former US vice-president Gore said.

There are now forecasts that the North Pole ice caps may disappear entirely during summer months within five years, he told a gathering at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Well, here’s an idea: if this is true, there’s nothing we can do to stop it, so let’s stop with the crazy carbon footprint talk and carbon offsets and “green” programs and products and everything else. Let’s just wait five years and see if you’re right, Al. If you are, we’ll all go “Gee, he was right after all,” as he gets out of his SUV motorcade and into his Gulfstream to fly to another conference. If the ice caps are still there in six years, we can all breathe a sigh of relief as we bask in the glow of our incandescent light bulbs.

Prediction: As the climate on this planet get colder over the next few years, “Global Warming” will be replaced with “Global Climate Change”, the pretense being that any change is bad and that we are able to do something about it (which we’re not.)
