Climate researcher Judith Curry says the era of ‘climate stupidity’ is done and declares victory
As media outlets shut down their climate desks, corporations retreat from climate targets, and polls of voters show they rate climate change lowest on their priorities, critics of the “climate crisis” narrative are saying it may be time to move on.
American climatologist Dr. Judith Curry on Tuesday announced that she would no longer maintain her influential blog, “Climate Etc.”
“It’s time to declare victory against climate stupidity and move on,” said in her final post. The reelection of President Donald Trump came with an overall shift in the political landscape regarding climate and energy issues. Since then, major media outlets shut down their climate desks, corporations are easing back on emission-reduction targets, and polls consistently show the public rates climate change low on their list of priorities.
Some figures like Curry who disputed the “climate crisis” narrative — often in the face of vitriol from those who support it — are now saying their efforts paid off and an era of climate hysteria is coming to an end.
Andrew Burnham doesn't come across as the kind of chancer who would notice the failure of Net Zero, shift his position and shift Ed Miliband at the same time, but who knows?
Ed Miliband's climate fanaticism may be crazy and his craziness may have to end eventually, but politically it has served him well.
Of course he is just a little crazy, poor sweet, but it is a very profitable kind of craziness, so one need not drench oneself in tears about it. One of the secrets of a successful life is to know how to be a little profitably crazy.’

Has anyone asked Weird Ed how many air cons he has?
Thick politicians, spurious claims, clever investors seeing an opening, etc., is all you need to make a fortune from the gullibility of idiots like Miliband.
I've just realised how Handy Man Rub can make his Northern Number 10 work.
His staff are put aboard a sleeper train in London and chuff off to the North. No need to spend on hotel rooms and even the railways should manage to get them there for the start of the working day. Then they use the train as offices - no need to pay for office space. Then they chuff back again having had a deeply spiritual enlightenment from that bracing northerly latitude. They can claim that the train used renewable electricity.
And there's always the advantage that a Russian drone could wipe 'em out.
Handy, of course, will fly up and down.
The real problem is that the consequences of the climate idiocy don''t seem to impact those driving it. Indeed some of them make a good living out of it. If the zealots lost their own jobs because of their stupid ideas , they just might think again before pushing them.
dearieme - and does he have a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and kettle in every kitchen?
Scrobs - that's it, wave subsidies around and the vultures will come.
dearieme - that's a spiffing idea because it would work. Handy Man Rub sell it as a quick fix now and also a reason to push on with HS2. It could be called the Drone Line - for a couple of reasons.
John - yes, the number who make a good living out of it is probably more than we know, quite apart from those who build and run the wind and solar scams.
