An anguished hippy...

...speaks for many deluded "progressives" who had hoped to use fear of climatastrophe to advance their cause. This poor soul sees that his "progressive and environmentalist" cause has been mortally wounded, and calls for a refocus towards "system change not climate change"...

...I’m a planet lover, progressive and environmentalist and I for one am happy and relieved my children will not die an unspeakable death on a planet heating up from CO2. I’m happy the science was exaggerated and all is well again. It’s peace we want isn’t it? Have we lost focus of that fact? Let’s progress in peace and optimism to the future of progress. Why was fear our only motivator to get the kids to turn out the darn lights more often? Where we the neocons of environMENTAL fear mongering? Turn the lights out or die? Was this our Iraq War?

...This IS the worst possible emergency EVER! Climate Change wasn’t “environmentalism”, it was a 25 year old death threat to our children and marching orders for mindless ideologues. Real planet lovers were glad it was a criminal exaggeration of disco science and fear mongering media and thus averting an unspeakable end of the world by unstoppable warming. It was a sick and twisted mistake and history is cursing us all for this madness..Real planet lovers were happy the CO2 unstoppable warming was a criminal exaggeration. Why did we hope for this misery to have happened? History will not be kind. It’s time to be a former believer like the majority of voters now.Continued support of climate change is hurting the planet as it divides environmental efforts and all of progressivism. It's time we evolved and stopped holding a spear of CO2 fear to our children's backs. Love, not windmills. System change, not climate change...read more, with some Kevin Trenberth thrown in, here...
