href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2024\/04\/22\/monday-mirthiness-a-reversed-ode-to-the-st-greta-believers\/\">Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never mind the varying tilt of the earth\u2019s axis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nor its changing elliptical orbit around the sun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never mind the mighty fireball\u2019s great flares and fluctuating cosmic rays<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shape the planet earth\u2019s clouds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nor the cycles \u2014 stretching for years, decades, centuries \u2014 of circulations in the seas and the atmosphere above<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never mind the earthquakes, the volcanoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vast spewing of ash and water vapor (eldest brother of the greenhouse gases)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, allow no such sundries to color your straight-as-arrow view of climate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For it is that molecule CO2 that needs to be set in the sniper\u2019s scope<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blast it, eliminate it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For it contaminates mother earth\u2019s blessed pristine virginity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

your mortal coil demands<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat, your enemy, needs killing lest it kill you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And cold, your friend, don\u2019t let disbelievers convince you otherwise<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Though it may well be that the cold kills far more than heat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By ten times, even)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Woe unto you if you stray from the path<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Destined for you, in the mainstream media<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the crime of skeptical reasoning or the reading of skeptical writing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will prove your downfall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be good, do good, virtuous folk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Valhalla of clean living and a pristine, virginal earth awaits you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

St. Greta, hail to Gore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hail to Mann, his haloed hockey stick<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And say nay to Happer, Clauser and
