<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that so many people, including doctors such as Robert Malone, are now pushing back against the climate scam is a *very* positive development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After discovering so many massive, high-profile lies in recent years, large numbers of people are asking themselves “What else are they lying about?”, and the answer is “just about everything”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elites tried for the Great Reset but they got a Great Awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some more reasons for optimism:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Climate Nexus, a warmist organization which pushed climate hysteria for over a decade and had tens of employees,\u00a0suddenly threw in the towel<\/a>\u00a0a few months ago.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Daily Kos ClimateDenierRoundup page, which spewed climate scam propaganda incessantly (2,200 posts!) for many years,\u00a0abruptly stopped posting<\/a>\u00a0in December 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Joe Rogan, with his huge audience, was a\u00a0full-on warmist in 2018<\/a>\u00a0but now routinely scoffs at the climate scam:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. As a long-time reader of replies and comment sections on social media, I\u2019ve seen a heartwarming increase in the number of climate realists pushing back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      One example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Facing increasing pushback, many warmist scientists have become less active on X, or have left X altogether.\u00a0NASA\u2019s Gavin Schmidt is one example<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. In recent months, lots of companies have been abandoning climate goals.\u00a0Air New Zealand is one example<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. For eight weeks, Greta Thunberg\u00a0didn’t bother to tweet a photo of herself\u00a0<\/a>with a \u201cclimate\u201d sign. Even climate change\u2019s poster child seems to be less interested in pushing this scam.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
