Malcolm Gladwell’s great book The Tipping Point presents the case that
sudden seismic shifts in society can result from small events, if the right
factors are present. Tipping points
happen when momentum toward an idea builds and finally crosses a threshold
where it is evident that a major cultural change has occurred. The global warming tipping point is coming,
but not the one anticipated by climate change “experts”.
Anthropogenic Global Warming
(AGW) theory has been dominant for the past three decades as absolute fact in
the public mind. In the last several
years, however, cracks in the fortress of “settled science” have appeared, and
public opinion has begun to shift.
Increasingly, alarmist predictions have failed to come to fruition.
Al Gore, the high priest of AGW
theory, has closed all of his Alliance for Climate Protection field offices, and laid off 90% of his
staff. Contributions have all but dried
up since 2008.
Australia’s conservative government
has severely curtailed the country’s climate change initiatives and is in the
process of repealing its business-killing carbon tax. A group of German scientists predicts dramatic global cooling over the
next 90 years toward a new “little ice age”.
Of course, even many “low
information” folks have an awareness of the record increase in arctic sea ice,
as well as the current highly-publicized predicament of the cadre of wealthy
global warmists stuck in record-high sea ice while on a cruise
to the Antarctic to prove the absence of sea ice.
Now the UN’s Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has quietly downgraded
their prediction for global warming for the next 30 years in the final draft of
their landmark “Fifth Assessment Report”.
The effect of this is that they are tacitly admitting that the computer
models they have religiously relied-upon for decades as “proof” of AGW theory are
dead wrong.
The tipping point is near. I can smell it.
