- Shellenberger: Going veggie? Almost pointless. Mass loss of species? A myth. The real climate change culprit? Poverty, not power stations
Michael Shellenberger was Time magazine's ‘Hero of the Environment’ in 2008
He’s now become a heretic the Green movement would happily burn at the stake
His thesis is that rabid Green alarmism is creating a raft of dangerous myths
...
The vehemence may be understandable given his belief that this ‘apocalyptic’ view of climate change is an ‘evangelical, fundamentalist religion’ that doesn’t respond to rational arguments. It satisfies a basic need for something to believe in, he says, and its followers can convince themselves they are serving a higher purpose [saving the planet]. ‘These people are in the grip of a religion,’ says Shellenberger, ‘and they don’t know it.’
- Burger King hypes ‘climate’ friendly burgers to appease climate activists — Morano responds
"They are trying to appeal to the climate activists, to the youth activists, to gen up more business," Morano tells OneNewsNow. "I don't think their marketing is going to work because when people think of cows, they don't want to think of cows emitting gases – because that's going to be a turnoff first of all for eating a Whopper.
"And also, when [people] think of eating food, they want to eat something that tastes the best – not something that is virtue signaling out to the public."

Flashback 2019: ‘We really need to wake up quickly’: Al Gore warns of a looming food crisis caused by climate change - Wash Post - Oct 21, 2019: -
Gore had invited 300 guests — chefs, farmers, food executives and activists — to “The Climate Underground,” a two-day conference last week at his family farm here that explored the intersection of food, climate change and sustainable agriculture...the main event was Gore’s slide show, delivered with his characteristic mix of bravado and humility, detailing the impacts of climate change on food systems worldwide...
Gore spent the better part of 90 minutes detailing the pressures of drought, heat, flooding, superstorms, “rain bombs,” invasive insects, fungi and bacterial blight on food producers. “We may be approaching a threshold beyond which the agriculture that we’ve always known cannot support human civilization as we know it,” he declared in a low growl. “That’s something we need to avoid.”
