Longtime climate activist David Roberts has had it — with “white men droning on about climate.” Roberts wrote on June 7, 2019: “I cannot echo this strongly enough. I am sick to fucking death of hearing white men drone on about climate, myself included. Book publishers, documentary makers, web publishers — do better.” Roberts, who is white, includes himself as being one of those he is “sick” of hearing “white men” talk about climate.
Sad: @drvox has lost his youthful enthusiasm about saving the world from a completely imaginary climate crisis?: "I am sick to fucking death of hearing white men drone on about climate, myself included" #ClimateBrawl #ClimateCultBurnout pic.twitter.com/g9Acs1xgqz

Climate Change is increasingly being divided into gender, racial and age categories. See: ‘Global warming’ caused by ‘white people’, ‘white men, ‘kids’ & ‘men’

Roberts has also targeted former Vice President Al Gore. See: The ‘Spockesque’ Al Gore is back — but warmist David Roberts askes: ‘Why on earth is Al Gore the only major American figure who’s made this his signature issue?’ – ‘The former vice president is by nature ‘Spockesque,’ Roberts acknowledged. He loves facts, loves learning, is simply not suited to emotional storytelling’
Roberts has also warned fellow activists not to overuse current weather events as some sort of proof of climate change. See: Flashback 2013: Warmist David Roberts offers very good analysis! ‘The recent enthusiasm of green groups for using extreme weather as a climate communication tool could very easily backfire…’‘…if we enter a few years with unseasonably cool temperatures or low storm activity, which is entirely possible’
Grist Mag’s David Roberts encourages warmists to ‘claim the storm’ for the global warming narrative — ‘It is, ultimately, immoral not to’ – ‘The moral logic of climate communication’: ‘All those involved in communicating climate should take a hand in claiming the storm (Sandy) for that narrative. It is, ultimately, immoral not to’
Some alarmists are waiting for skeptics to die off: ‘One group led by David Roberts of Grist argues that the alarmists should wait for all the climate skeptics to die off’ – ‘Another group, represented by Crikey, claims that the alarmists are not waiting for skeptics to die off even though they would be happy if this dream came true: ‘Cohort replacement’: Climate deniers won’t change, but they will die (Grist)VS Death isn’t an option: climate change activists aren’t waiting for deniers to die (Crikey)’
Climate Depot note: David Roberts is not open to the free exchange of discussion on climate. He blocks climate skeptics, including Climate Depot.
