CNN Analyst Shocked Americans Aren’t Afraid of Media-Created ‘Climate Crisis’
Meanwhile, the press intends to double down on its climate hysteria.
I have noted on a few occasions that Americans’ trust in scientists has eroded. One reason for this is related to high-profile claims about weather and climate that have not materialized as predicted.
For example, there have been warnings of snowless winters, rapidly vanishing glaciers, and an ice-free Arctic.

Additionally, the monsoon rains of the American Southwest are now being repackaged as yet another reason to attack fossil fuels in the name of man-made global warming — despite the fact that the region’s monsoon season has long been officially recognized as occurring between mid-June and late-September.
🌧️ Buckle up, New Mexico! The 2025 Monsoon Season is here, and it's already a wild ride. From scorching heat to epic thunderstorms, this summer's moisture surge is turning our desert into a dramatic spectacle. Here's the scoop:

However, the mainstream media’s constant doom-and-gloom reporting is not having the desired effect. CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, recently reported on a poll showing that Americans remain largely unmoved by the histrionics surrounding climate change.
Polling from Gallup found that 40% of Americans are “greatly worried about climate change” currently, which has decreased by six percentage points from 2020. These new numbers emerged as many liberals, including Democrat members of Congress, have attempted to blame climate change and President Donald Trump for the devastating flood in Central Texas.
“Are Americans concerned of climate change, and the answer is, Americans aren’t afraid of climate change,” Enten said. “Climate activists have not successfully made the case to the American people. I want you to take a look here. ‘Greatly worried about climate change.’
We have data going all the way back since 1989, and look at it then, it was 39%. In 2000, it was 40%. 2020, 46%. In 2025, 40%, which is the exact same percentage as in 2000, despite all of these horrible weather events. The percentage of Americans that are greatly worried about climate change has stayed pretty gosh darned consistent.”
The press is a little unhappy that its fearmongering isn’t working, so it’s clearly going to double down. For example, a piece published by NBC News pushes the narrative that people aren’t afraid enough of “extreme weather events” — as evidenced by an Associated Press article quoting preferred “experts” on the subject.
Climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense, according to climate scientists and government data. But people and governments are generally living in the past and haven’t embraced that extreme weather is now the norm, to say nothing about preparing for the nastier future that’s in store, experts in meteorology, disasters and health told The Associated Press.
“What happens with climate change is that what used to be extreme becomes average, typical, and what used to never occur in a human lifetime or maybe even in a thousand years becomes the new extreme,” Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said. “We start to experience things that just basically never happened before.”
Meteorologist Chris Mertz points out what the “extreme weather event” narrative is in a recent interview.
Life expectancy has more than doubled since the mid-19th century. The number of deaths from weather-related natural disasters has decreased by over 96% since the 1920s. Also, if you look at the number of hurricanes, they are not increasing on a global scale. The number of tornadoes has remained about steady in the United States since real-time data collection began in 1954. Similarly, the number of floods and droughts is not increasing globally, and wildfires have gone down.
There is no “climate crisis.”
The rush to tie extreme weather events to climate change through dubious “event attribution” studies is the latest attempt to shakedown coal, oil and gas companies for billions of dollars.

The media minions constantly conflating severe weather with a climate apocalypse at the behest of climate cultists with policy agendas will continue to lose audience as those with more sensible and realistic perspectives, who are no longer silenced, are proven to be scientifically correct.
I am very grateful Americans recognize climate hysteria for what it is.

I was trained as a scientist and engineer. However when politics and vast sums of money are involved as they are with the suggestion of man made climate change I don’t trust the science,
When the greatest proponents of a suggestion like climate change are shady politicians that benfit politically and financially and stupid ignorant celebraties who only want to jump on a new fad I don’t trust the science.
When the scientists involved alter that data that doesn’t fit or refuse to release their data, block other scientists from publishing and even block their funding just because they don’t agree with a suggestion like climate change I don’t trust the science.
Man made climate change in the beginning might have been an interesting theory but it has not stood the test of time and the politics and hype surrounding it has been deafening. It deserves its place in the dustbin of nutty scientific ideas and scams until such time as solid reproducible science replaces the shoddy work done to date.
BTW: Science is never settled and anyone who says that is no scientist and never was.
Not so. There is “settled” science.
The next time you hear someone say “Man-made climate change is settled science,” tell them, “The only settled science are those theories that have been disproved.”
Interesting take.
Images revealed via the Webb Telescope have very much unsettled scientists,
https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/3-years-of-science-10-cosmic-surprises-from-nasas-webb-telescope/
“The James Webb Space Telescope has made an unprecedented and jaw-dropping discovery at the very edge of space-one that could redefine our understanding of the universe and its origins. After months of data collection and analysis, scientists have uncovered a phenomenon that no one expected to find so far beyond the reach of human exploration. What they’ve found sent shockwaves throughout the scientific community, raising more questions than answers and leaving astronomers to wonder whether we are at the edge of unraveling one of space’s greatest mysteries.”

This. The “greenhouse theory” made a lot of sense when it was first popularized in the early ’80s, but reality has failed to conform to it.
Indeed, the greenhouse theory has since been supplanted. If you recall, the greenhouse theory came from observations of Venus, the atmosphere of which is nearly all CO2 (96%, IIRC). But it has since been demonstrated that the main driver of a planet’s average temperature isn’t the composition of the atmosphere, but it’s pressure. Venus’ atmospheric pressure is 90 times that of Earth’s. Mars, the atmosphere of which is nearly identical to Venus, is not as cold as it is due to its greater distance from the sun, it’s cold because it’s atmospheric pressure is a small fraction of 1% Earth’s. The theory holds for the Earth too. Pressure equals heat, composition has little to do with it.
NOW APPLY THIS TO THE NEWEST Epstein files are missing “hysteria” that the msm created!!:
However, the mainstream media’s constant doom-and-gloom reporting is not having the desired effect. CNN’s chief data analyst, Harry Enten, recently reported on a poll showing that Americans remain largely unmoved by the histrionics surrounding climate change.
Quit giving in to the lefty narrative

Various quotes:
Climate “deniers”:
‘Demonization of CO2 is irrational at best and even modest warming is mostly beneficial.’ – ‘When someone says this is the warmest temperature on record. What are they talking about? It’s just nonsense. This is a very tiny change period.’
MIT Climate Scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen
“Policies to slow CO2 emissions are really based on nonsense. They are all based on computer models that do not work. We are being led down a false path.”
“To call carbon dioxide a pollutant is really Orwellian. You are calling something a pollutant that we all produce. Where does that lead us eventually?”
Princeton Physicist Dr. Will Happer

‘We are dealing with pure political propaganda that has nothing to do with science.’
Greenpeace Co-Founder Dr. Patrick Moore
Lindzen also featured 2006 quotes from Scientist Dr. Miike Hulme, Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, and Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, admitting that claims of a climate catastrophe were not the “language of science.”
“The discourse of catastrophe is a campaigning device,” Hulme wrote to the BBC in 2006. “The language of catastrophe is not the language of science. To state that climate change will be ‘catastrophic’ hides a cascade of value-laden assumptions which do not emerge from empirical or theoretical science,” Hulme wrote.
“Is any amount of climate change catastrophic? Catastrophic for whom, for where, and by when? What index is being used to measure the catastrophe?” Hulme continued.

Probability Doesn’t Exist: Nothing Has A Probability at Science Is Not The Answer

Climate change as social engineering:
“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.” — Club of Rome, premier environmental think-tank, consultants to the United Nations.
“We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination… So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts… Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.” – Prof. Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports.
“We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” – Timothy Wirth, president of the UN Foundation.
“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony. … climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” – Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment
“The data doesn’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations on the data. We’re basing them on the climate models.” – Professor Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research.
“The models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful.” – Dr David Frame, climate modeler, Oxford University.
“It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.” – Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace.

“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”
Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
1970
“By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”
Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
1970
“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.”
Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day
1970
“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”
Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University

The media has consistently lied to us about everything. We have no reason to believe anything they say.
Actually, it’s quite concerning that as many as 40% of the people polled buy into the climate hysteria.
Indicates that a substantial portion of the public is unable to process data independently and has no awareness of the past.
It’s all about The Current Thing™.
Remember that the term used in the poll may not be “climate change” and even if it is, many people are not politically vigilant and may ascribe an apolitical meaning to the term.
Yes, because the climate is constantly changing. We have had ice ages which then melted. And even in much smaller time frames, we have years that are warmer than others, cooler than others, wetter and drier than others. So climate change is real. Just not the hysterical climate crisis that the MSM is always talking about.
JR – your point is valid –
“Climate change is real and always has been – but climate change is NOT man-made”
but you’ve buried the lede too deep. People are going to knee-jerk downvote you. You gotta hit em in the headline .
“People are going to knee-jerk downvote you.”
No. People are going to downvote him because he’s an idiot.
Even if he did get one partially right.
I live in Dallas. Texas is a Red State, but like most big cities Dallas has a lot of Blue. In my (technically not Dallas, but 15 minutes from downtown) neighborhood there are a lot of ‘educated professionals’ et al.
In my personal encounters with neighbors Climate Change is simply an accepted fact for them. No one even thinks about questioning it. Every weather event is the evil outcome of Republican Capitalist greed destroying the planet. I never challenge them of course. I follow the old wisdom:
“Never try to teach a pig to sing; it just wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
So who has control of the earth’s thermostat? It has gone through ice ages, thaws and ice ages again?
Don’t be surprised on the effect the Democrats Propaganda Ministry has on the population putting out daily . And Cultural Marxist Seminaries preached polar bears were dying in the heat without ice.
I get a kick out of science shows on PBS that for 48 minutes tell us various stories of geology and evolution and how the climate changed (sometimes radically) over time, with wide swings between opposing conditions (hot, cold – wet, dry), nearly all of it sans humans (with the exception of this glacial age, in which we are now in an interglacial period), and then spend the last two minutes of the show insisting we need to do something about how the climate is now changing exclusively due to human activity. Early modern humans would have ascribed the advance and retreat of glaciers to the gods. We now ascribe such changes to ourselves, because we’re the “gods” now, complete masters of the earth (or so we think).
That’s because there are plenty of us who are old enough to remember all the hysteria and hand-wringing over “the coming ice age” they were so confidently prognosticating nearly fifty years ago.
The hype was BS then, and it’s BS now.
We remember that, but the young people don’t, and if they try to look it up all the “reliable sources” insist it never happened and we’re just imagining it.
Scientismers have contributed almost as much to the collapse of long-trusted institutions as journalismers.
The Left has been pushing this nonsense for 40+ years. First, it was “A new ice age is upon us! We must spend trillions!”
When that didn’t work, they flipped the script to “Man Made Global Warming! We must spend trillions or the Earth will become a new Venus and we will all Burn!!”
They were busy holding protests in freezing weather and blizzards.
Now they are screaming Climate Change! I hate to be the one to break it to these fanatical idiots, but the Climate has been changing since the Earth developed an atmosphere. Deal with it.
We have multiple crises, none of which involve the climate. Just keep in mind that Mother Nature wants to kill you and to date she has never failed.
The first crisis is one of misinformation. The legacy media is utterly and irredeemably corrupt. They need to go.
The next crisis is that of false science prophets like Al Gore and Bill Nye. They can’t go away too soon.
Finally (well, finally in the sense of this comment) is a crisis of stupidity. The depth of stupidity in the left side of the bell curve has only been amplified over the past century. We’re going backwards as a species.
• Global Cooling
• Global Warming
• Climate Change
• Climate Emergency
• Climate Crisis . . .
And they wonder why nobody is falling for the Climate Scam any longer and their Climate Spokes-Retard, Greta, is out desperately trying to find the next Big Thing™ to attach her name to.
Histrionics fail to influence Americans because we aren’t 50% dumber. America’s Education Industry is working to resolve this problem.
I think it was 5th grade science that they taught us “When an organism enters an environment, it will change that environment.” Climate change is inevitable as long as there is life on planet earth.
Meanwhile AP put out a report stating that under obama ( they did NOTTT use his name anywheres in the article)
FEMA allowed the camp in texas where alll those people died in the recent flood,,FEMA ALLOWED the camp exceptions to the FLOOD PLAIN rules
But they were blaming trump non stop over this
AND ONCE AGAIN,,LEFTY GETS AWAY WITH MURDER
We had global warming shoved down our gullets in high school, with all of the related hysteria and histrionics. It was overkill. Was worse in med school/grad school where everything had something to do with climate change or DEI. Overloaded by second year!
We don’t believe you. I taught 4-6th graders for years. Part of one of our science units was weather vs. climate. We’re talking 9-12 year olds. They got it. This climate stuff is hogs trash – most like grift runs for more $$$. Where have John Kerry or Al Gore been lately?
