There’s an important tool every consumer of news needs to keep handy in their bullshit detection kit: “If you never knew things were this bad, they probably aren’t”. Any time you hear an alarming and startling claim (“The Amazon is burning!”), it’s almost certainly a half-lie (at
For years, skeptical Cassandras have warned that climate alarmism is a Trojan horse for a globalist wealth redistribution agenda. They’ve been sneered at by the great and good of the media-elite as right-wing paranoids. Paranoia is justified, though, when they really are out to get you (or your money,
