Why has society so rapidly and thoroughly bought into global warming / climate change?

Propaganda from the powers that be

No idea why so many doubt and mock the existence of the new world order

Climate change is the number one vehicle to usher in a new world order with socialism on a global scale

The only thing most people understand or know about are the extremes of the forecasts that these government agencies publish. All of the doomsday articles are based on the most extreme scenarios at the upper bounds of probabilty. Financial modeling is more exact than climate modeling, and that's why it's hilarious when a believer points to the "science." They typcially don't refer to the science at all, it's the integrated assesment models (IAW) they point to.

Fear can be very powerful


There are kids out there that are terrified over the world ending in 12 years nonsense because that’s all they know

The modern, leftist environmental movement in the United States congealed around a false premise - Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.

This sparked the popular movement that resulted in the creation of the EPA, Earth Day (and proto-AGW cultists/terrorists like Earth First, etc.) and all that. Prior to that, "environmentalists" in the U.S. were mainly conservative types - outdoorsmen, Boy Scouts, businessmen who wanted to enjoy the wilderness on the weekends, fishermen, hunters, etc.

But, the Green movement doesn't want to preserve the environment for humanity - they have elevated the environment to a level above humanity, in a form of pseudo-scientific, Neopaganism which contemplates things like plants having feelings, no utilization of animals (even animals who have been domesticated since the Stone Age), etc.

And if that means hundreds of millions (or billions) of human beings must suffer or even die, then so be it.

And AGW was a strange confluence of academia, the Green movement and the political left. By demonizing CO2, you're demonizing energy production. By controlling that, you control every aspect of human activity from soup to nuts.

It isn't any more complicated than that.

Fear, ignorance, and money. STEM education in US public schools is shite but government and left-wing donors are throwing money at the stupidity because they know a blunt brain is a great bludgeon for societal change. Just look at the crowd-source funding of things like Waterseer, Fontus, Solar Roadways, etc. All promised to be "disrupters" and all little more than junk created by those educated by grade school science projects.

Children and schools

THIS!!

Literally drilled into their heads weekly from Pre-K through college graduation.

Any challenge to this push is squashed. Perhaps the greatest example of school bullying in the last 30 years. Day after day, week after week, year after year.

For the sake of this discussion let’s imagine the science is correct. What percentage of the public actually understands the science they believe in?

How is it any different than a religion for most people?

We're talking about kids and adults that likely can't add fractions. I'm going with 90% couldn't begin to grasp the science.
