…..yea right ! And in 20 or 30 years from now when it will no longer be cool to be an climate change warrior the usual suspects will try to convince us that climate change is no longer an issue because of positive actions taken by a tiny minority of the global population like driving electric cars, flooding a few bogs, etc. etc. and some will be gullible enough to believe it.

Now while on the subject ……I often wondered what caused the last ice age and the many previous ones and furthermore what caused our planet to gradually get warmer again.??

What caused the mini ice age that lasted from roughly the 14th to 19th century?

What caused the medieval warm period that lasted from roughly 900 AD to 1300 AD ?

The inconvenient truth is that our climate is always changing, it fact by it's very nature it can never ever stand still. Sometimes change happens over thousands of years other times over hundreds, change could be local or worldwide

Was it Hitler that said in his book Mein Kampf that people could be induced to believe a colossal lie because they could not imagine that someone could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.

Exactly.

Cognitive dissonance is more widespread that one would think.

The argument from the climate scientists is that we're rapidly speeding up the process with our emissions. Fossil fuels are finite anyway, probably no harm to be switching to renewables.

When I was a young feller an ice age was the thing that was going to wipe us all out.

In a few hundred years or a thousand years will Hitler be considered a bit of a cool dude like Genghis Khan? Do all evil rulers end up being revered?

It will take more than a few thousand years for the current prime minister of israel to be considered cool or be revered. I couldn't bring myself to print his evil name or use capital letters

Are UFOs actually military aircraft.

All UFO means is Unidentified Flying Object, so the unidentified object might be a balloon or a kite or a bird, or in very recent times a drone. Some people think Unidentified means aliens, which is not the case. If you want a real head scratching UFO story check out the Tic Tac / Nimmitz sighting 2004 with Dave Fravor (US pilot). Still unidentified, whatever it was.

Some are, others are as simple as airplanes.
Here is an example from someone who sells himself as a former government insider getting fooled by an irrigation circle.

A recent thing being misidentified are starlink satellites that reflect sun on their underside.
