Award-Winning Climate Activist Apologizes For LYING!

Video Transcript:

Hi, June 30, 2020, the truth shall be revealed a little too late. Michael Schellenberger, a climate activist and award-winning climate activists, apologizes for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years. Forbes decided to unpublish his article. So it is here on Zero Hedge. Let me read some of this, but I want to say, you know what, Michael? Well, as the saying goes, nice that you grew some balls, nice that you finally developed some, you know, a modicum of moral character, but the damage that you have done to the world, to the world's people, to science itself. Sorry, you'll be fine writing another book, apologizing for lying all these years and you knew it, you knew you were lying. Great. Well, it's nice that you finally came out. I have to wonder, these people coming out now, I have to wonder if that is also just a deliberate staged play to see if the world's people have a working brain anymore to understand that the climate scare, the climate change, climate change science has been one of the biggest frauds. Well, now we've got so many frauds going, so oh my God, okay, one of the biggest frauds played on the world's people and you were a part of it. Okay, so I feel an obligation to apologize for how badly we environmentalists have misled the public. No, lied to the public, lied. Here are some facts. Few people know, humans are not causing a sixth mass extinction. The Amazon is not the lungs of the world. Climate change is not making natural disasters worse. Fires have declined 25% around the world since 2003. The amount of land we use for meat, I dig, I dig, I yeek and read, all of this, you know, I beg to differ on some of these points. Preventing future pandemics requires more, not less, industrial agriculture. Wow, do I disagree there? I know that the above facts will sound like climate denialism to many people, but that just shows the power of climate lies, propaganda, alarmism. But until last year, I mostly avoided speaking out against the climate scare. Partly, that's because I was embarrassed. You were embarrassed. After all, I am as guilty of alarmism as any other environmentalist. For years, I referred to climate change as an existential threat to human civilization and called it a crisis, but mostly I was scared. I remained quiet about the climate disinformation campaign because I was afraid of losing friends and funding. Abandonment is a big, big, big issue that unless the individual face and face and recover from their fear of abandonment, they will not speak up. They will be the go-alongs to get along destroying an awful lot of life in the process. But mostly I was scared, losing friends and funding. The few times I summoned the courage to defend climate science from those who misrepresented, I suffered harsh consequences. And so I mostly stood by and did next to nothing as my fellow environmentalist terrified the public. I even stood by as people in the White House and many in the news media tried to destroy the reputation and career of an outstanding scientist, good man and a friend of mine, Roger Pelke, Jr. Life-long progressive Democrat and environmentalist who testified in favor of carbon regulations, why did they do that? Because his research proves natural disasters aren't getting worse. But then last year things spiraled out of control. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change. Britain's most high profile environmental group claimed climate change kills children. The world's most influential green journal is Bill McGuinn, disgusting, reprehensible. No, nothing in this guy but greed. Bill McGuinn, give me money, Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller. We're surrounded by so many of these people. Well, he called climate change the greatest challenge humans have ever faced and said it would wipe out civilizations. Mainstream journalist reported repeatedly that the Amazon was the lungs of the world and that de-forest position was like a nuclear bomb going off. As a result, half of the people surveyed around the world last year said they thought climate change would make humanity extinct. In January, one out of five British children told pollsters that they were having nightmares about climate change whether or not you have children, you must see how wrong this is. How come you didn't see how wrong it was a whole long time ago? Oh, you did, but you were scared. Now you're not. Now you have to do the right thing after so much damage has been done. Well, yeah. I have a teenage daughter after we talked about the science she was reassured, but her friends are deeply misinformed. And thus, understandably frightened. I thus decided I had to speak out. I knew that writing a few articles wouldn't be enough. I needed a book to properly lay out all of the evidence. And so my formal apology for our fear mongering comes in the form of my new book Apocalypse Never. My environmental alarmism hurts us all. Well, good for you. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. How come you're not talking about whether modification? How come you're not talking about geoengineering? Well, the IPCC, the intergovernmental panel on climate change has had geoengineering conferences. Why aren't you talking about all of the spraying of toxins, those chemicals, those heavy metals, heavy metals? The nanopartic, why aren't you talking about artificial intelligence and nanotechnology controlling our weather? Why are you just saying, oh, well, it's not as bad as the climate alarmists are telling you. See, this is not good enough for me. And you can't tell me that these people like Bill McGiven and this Shellenberger, they don't see what's happening in the sky. You can't tell me that. No, I don't believe it. I will not ever be convinced you can stand in front of me, Michael and say, there's nothing wrong with the sky. And I won't believe a freaking word you are saying. Because in reading this article, I still feel like you are lying. But you're going to make money. You'll be okay. Why don't you donate the proceeds from apocalypse never to the people who need it? Oh, who are those? How about those who have had their homes flooded out via man using weather as a weapon? How about all the fires? You know, those fires that you talk about and oh, well, what about those directed energy weapons? I can't stand it. Yeah. That's so my formal apology for our fear mongering comes in the form of my new book. Final three chapters of apocalypse never I expose the financial political and ideological motivations environmental groups have accepted hundreds of millions of dollars from fossil fuel interests. This fossil fuel is well groups motivated by anti-humanist beliefs forced the world bank to stop trying to end poverty and instead make poverty sustainable agenda 2030. How do they do that? They bring everybody down. They lower the standard middle class. All of you. Well, a whole lot of you think you're still in the middle class, but you're not. You've been dropped. But it's all all getting destroyed. That's how you cure poverty by bringing everyone down to a low standard and you got equality. The gap between, you know, that 1% 99% just gets bigger and bigger and bigger every day. So status, anxiety, depression and hostility to modern civilization or behind much of the alarmism. Once you realize just how badly misinformed you have made us. Oh, once you realize just how badly misinformed we have been often by people with plainly unsavory and unhealthy motivations, it is hard not to feel duped. Who did the doping, Michael? Wasn't it you? Scientific institutions, including the World Health Organization, BIPCC have undermined their credibility and so have you undermined your own credibility. But the facts have been out there for a very, very long time. And the world's people have not been interested in facts. They've been so demoralized that they've discredited their own self. So we are in big trouble. And will this matter? I don't believe so. I don't believe it will matter at all. Not at all. Not at this point. A little too little and far too late. And he says facts still matter. Really? Have you not noticed that facts don't matter anymore? And social media is allowing for a wider range of new and independent voices to outcompete alarmist environmental journalists at legacy publications. Really? They're outcompeting them? Have you noticed what's happening on social media? Are there any authoritative sources only? You know, those independent alternative voices that speak the truth, speak the facts and evidence? See, Michael, we all knew all of you were lying sacks of shit for many, many years. We, posting all of the information, having done our own research, then posting the facts and evidence. We know we're not outcompeting anybody because our channels have been brought down. We have been shadow banned. We have been silenced. Channel still coming down. Social media, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook. We're not outcompeting anybody. We're being put down the memory hall, the truth they don't want. Maybe if you came out a little bit earlier, you might have had an effect. The evidence is overwhelming that our high energy civilization is better for people and nature than the low energy civilization that climate alarmists would return us to. You sat and listened to AOC for a long time and said nothing. And they're putting that green new deal. They're implementing it. They're manifesting it. So, your apology? People don't think anymore. If you've made it this far, I hope you'll agree that it's perhaps not as strange as it seems that a lifelong environmental is progressive and climate activists felt the need to speak out against the alarmism. I further hope that you'll accept my apology. What say you? Do you accept his apology? I think he should be in the hall of shame.
