Recently there has been a massive FUD effort globally around climate change.

Murdoch’s outlets in Australia and the UK have been running multiple clips per day on YouTube, for example.

The latest polemical mash-up, the video I referenced earlier, is getting pushed everywhere.

This resurgence of FUD comes on the heels of the big temperature upswing in 2024.

So here’s my guess: the more dramatic a climate phenomenon, the more the denier industry will push FUD.

You’d think that skyrocketing temps would tamper down the FUD, but instead the opposite is happening.

In Congress this week too the GOP has been going on and on about Biden’s “extremism” on climate, whining about carbon tax even though there is no carbon tax law being proposed.

What can we conclude, if anything?

Well, someone’s scared is all I can gather.

I do wonder if this has something to do with Trump.

The deeper Trump digs himself a hole, the more likely the Dems will win in November and not just the Presidency but also control of Congress.

And that is scaring vested interests. I can only speculate they are in the fossil fuel industry, but I do wonder if it’s the petro-states themselves.
