“On Behalf Of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare” — Michael Shellenberger, June 29, 2020

Well worth the read and your consideration.

Censored by Forbes, where the article was originally published because, well, it just doesn’t suit the narrative. But, we know that, don’t we.

Up until now, Shellenberger did not speak out, for fear of retribution and being cancelled:

But until last year, I mostly avoided speaking out against the climate scare. Partly that’s because I was embarrassed. After all, I am as guilty of alarmism as any other environmentalist. For years, I referred to climate change as an “existential” threat to human civilization, and called it a “crisis.” 

But mostly I was scared. I remained quiet about the climate disinformation campaign because I was afraid of losing friends and funding. The few times I summoned the courage to defend climate science from those who misrepresent it I suffered harsh consequences. And so I mostly stood by and did next to nothing as my fellow environmentalists terrified the public.

I even stood by as people in the White House and many in the news media tried to destroy the reputation and career of an outstanding scientist, good man, and friend of mine, Roger Pielke, Jr., a lifelong progressive Democrat and environmentalist who testified in favor of carbon regulations. Why did they do that? Because his research proves natural disasters aren’t getting worse. 

And, here is a twitter thread for added amusement.
