The difference is that while in the old days journalists were paid to write speculative alarmism to sell newspapers, nowadays a huge amount of money flows to the leaders of the Climate Cult because of fraud like the Carbon Tax and Emissions Trading Scheme. Both should be scrapped immediately.
Why do we follow all these crazy people with all these stupid ideas, the planet will go about sorting itself naturally just as it’s been doing for goodness knows how many Millennia, what happens is the earth like most things goes in cycles including all the doom predictions that keep on happening, as for carbon taxes, gases & the rest of the lunatic ideas we can’t stop the earths cycle, actually, stop all the wars would help to minimise all this pollution.
