And Here is the Good News

When we see stories like this we want to help our despondent brethren.

‘Pre-traumatic stress disorder’: UN IPCC scientist becomes ‘professionally depressed’ due to doomsday climate research – ‘Climate depression is for real’ – ‘Climate trauma survival tips’

Capturing the good news about the climate and the world should serve to reassure our doomsday friends that the Earth is not going to hell in a handbasket. The sky is not falling. Will they rejoice or will they deny that the good news is good?

Let’s start with the icon of climate change: the polar bear

State of Climate Change: ‘Few hurricanes, weak hurricanes; It’s a slow year for wildfires (again); Another slow year for tornadoes; Arctic sea ice rebounds; The ‘pause’ continues

Alarmists tell us the sky is falling and Mother Nature is full of good news. Would it be impertinent to channel Donna Summer for alarmists: Who do, who do you think you’re foolin’?

Not the people.

New Survey: Only 5‰ of Americans thinks climate change most important issue
