What lies at the heart of the climate change issue?  At first there was a small group of scientists who put forward a hypothesis that CO2 was going to cause a serious problem of warming. Then this got taken up by a variety of influential politicians and people with a vested interest who promoted it. Very soon the media decided to report it in a one-sided fashion, denying anyone the opportunity to make a reasoned challenge to either the science or the very costly policy of decarbonising the nation.    

We have now reached the point where in many situations people who privately disagree with aspects of the policy decide to keep their views to themselves in order not to lose their job, or chance of promotion, or become an “outcast” in society. Let’s be clear, there is massive social pressure to conform.

 Money is at the root of it, as it is with any widespread idea or belief. The climate change phenomenon is much more akin to a religion, whereby the censorship is done voluntarily.

Anything which is forced upon people is only tolerated so long as it is not too uncomfortable. So far the public have not been exposed to much discomfort at all, but the time is rapidly approaching when governments will have to make some very uncomfortable decisions. Certainly by 2030 this will come.

Meanwhile the media are complicit in ramping up the fear as much as they can.
