With all of the climate propaganda being peddled by mainstream media, the Biden administration, and the climate cult itself, it’s good to see that many Americans still have not been convinced of the lies surrounding it. A poll released today by Rasmussen found that 60 percent of “likely voters” agree with the statement, “Climate change has become a religion that ‘actually has nothing to do with the climate’ and is really about power and control.”
Forty-seven percent of those polled “strongly agreed” with the statement. Even 45 percent of Democrats polled agreed with the statement. At the same time, 35 percent of respondents disagreed with the statement, with 25 percent of them strongly disagreeing. Only four percent were unsure, signaling that the consistent drumbeat of climate crisis propaganda isn’t having much effect one way or the other.
The poll also asked about Biden’s handling of the climate-change issue. Those polled by Rasmussen seemed split, with 46 percent rating Biden’s handling as excellent (22 percent) or good (24 percent). Fifty percent rated the president’s handling as poor (38 percent) or fair (12 percent). Again, only four percent were undecided.
A third question wondered if climate change was getting better or worse. Forty percent of respondents said that it was “about the same,” while 32 percent believed it was getting worse and 21 percent thought it was getting better. Six percent were unsure on the question.
Much of the climate-change-as-religion talk occurring currently may have to do to with GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent video on the subject.
Speaking on the broader issue of climate change, Ramaswamy didn’t mince words: “It has nothing to do with the climate. If it did, the people who are calling for the U.S. to stop production [of fossil fuels] here should be really concerned if petrol-China is picking up those projects because … methane leakage … is eighty times worse for global warming than … a unit of carbon dioxide.”
“Methane leakage is worse [in China] than it is here, so, if you really cared about, supposedly, even the core tenet of your religion, your god, the climate you would have cared about shifting that production to places like China because the projects are still proceeding — but they don’t,” Ramaswamy pointed out.
“If you really cared that much about so-called carbon emissions you would be a proponent of nuclear energy,” Ramaswamy said. “And yet, this ESG movement … excludes nuclear energy companies from their ESG funds. The ESG movement is hostile to nuclear energy. The problem with nuclear energy for this movement is not that it is too bad, but that it might be too good at solving their own — in my opinion — mostly made up problem,” the Republican presidential hopeful said.
Ramaswamy went on to claim that the “E” in ESG (environmental) was nothing more than a trojan horse for the “S” (social).
“What this is about is global equity,” Ramaswamy concluded. “It is about making the west and America in particular repay its sins of the past, for having achieved greatness and its exceptionalist status and its success.”
Ramaswamy is the third GOP candidate to enter the presidential race. He joins former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
Is the climate cult truly a “religion,” though? It has many attributes of religion. Its god is clearly the Earth and/or the climate. Mankind and carbon dioxide appear to be running neck and neck in the race to be its devil. It has prophets such as Al Gore and John Kerry. Its high priests would be the so-called scientists who continue to assert the absolute truth of their doctrine.
It even has its own sacred texts, such as the UN’s IPCC climate reports, replete with apocalyptic warnings about the end of time. Maybe the 60 percent who agree that it’s a religion in the Rasmussen Poll are correct.
