A barrage of grim U.N. reports and confusing headlines created a generation of people who believe climate change can’t be stopped. They are known, colloquially, as climate “doomers.”

warming, released in October 2018, which kicked many people’s climate anxiety into overdrive.

, which would drive the planet into a “hothouse” state. In fact, scientists don’t believe there is anything unique about that temperature that will cause runaway tipping points; the landmark IPCC report merely aimed to show the risks of bad impacts are much higher at 2C than at 1.5. And it’s not just Americans. Andrew Smith, a retired engineer from Yorkshire, England, is slightly turned off by the term “doomer.” It provokes, he says, a sense of being on the fringes of society, or visions of doomsday preppers filling their bunkers with canned food. “For me, a climate doomer is simply a person who’s taken a look at the peer-reviewed science, taken stock of the natural world around them, and come to a conclusion,” he wrote in a message via Twitter.

Climate change = the biggest scam in the history of scams

Seriously shannonosaka 😐 Er no.. 'fringe scientists' What does solved mean? 'group of people believe that the climate problem cannot, or will not, be solved 🤔 in time to prevent all-out societal collapse.' Not JUST ppl.. eminent scientists, climate scientist

There are no 'climate deniers.' In fact the majority of those who question the activist picture of man-made climate disasters are generally the most educated/aware of the natural usually rather dramatic natural variability of Earth's climate - both short term and long term.

Boycott, Divest, Sanction and VOTE to expel fossil fuel polluter mafia. Asphalt wastelands: stupid. Dashboard hypnosis, gasoline psychosis. Asphalt wastelands: stupid. cars autos are space-wasting bullshiX. cars ruin everything. Asphalt wastelands: stupid. pollution

Easy answer: Many people benefit from the systems that create climate chaos. Either we don't change because climate change isn't real or we don't change because it's too late. Same result. But it's ridiculous to blame those trying to change the system. Blame those benefiting.

Climate change is just religion for atheists.

Because nobody has done a damn thing to turn this around.

Doom won.

Yep another aka only John Connor can survive against the Terminators of the Pseudo Mathematicians of Silicon Valley.

Because for decades you've been screaming at them that we're all doomed. What did you expect would happen?

This is why Zers are not having kids and committing suicide. Way to go, lefties

Wapo performs maintenance on its 'climate crisis' narrative.

Just throwing out this accusation and demonization everyday will neither bolster your position nor persuade anyone. Remember Al Gore? He's the main reason why this climate change has lost credibility.

I blame headline editors for 99% of the world's grief as they don't care about truth or facts, they only care about 'clicks'.

One Billionare arsehole with a private jet causes more damage than thousands average consumers ever can. We've given up because there's nothing the average person can do.

Confusing headlines? Who could we possibly blame?🤔

Because the cult is becoming even more psychotic than it already was. It's Progressivism in a nutshell.

When will people wakeup and realize that there's nothing we can do about the climate? Also this whole climate cry is the government's way of making money.

Pedowood

Did Exxon write this

I like the new personality vocabulary

We can't stop it we can only do what we can to minimise the damage caused by older generations.

And they clearly can't do their own research, hear both sides of the narrative, and are incapable of making up their own minds, having to blindly follow the narrative they've been told exists.

Oh good. Instead of calling 'right wingers' science deniers WaPo can start calling the left wing largely Democratic folks anti-science. Because so many are. And I am not saying many GOPs types aren't as well.

Hmm…

The same group said in 2000 that the world would be gone right now. 2023 and it's still here. Florida isn't flooded. Islands haven't disappeared. Beachfront property is still beachfront property.

Airplanes emit around 100 times more CO2 per hour than a shared bus or train ride, and the emissions of global aviation are around 1 billion tons of CO2 per year — more than the emissions of most countries, including Germany.Apr 6, 2022 Fix this first ! !

Unless every single country participate equally in efforts- forget it. Its near impossible as it is & if environmentalists pay attention to China, India etc and not personally enrich themselves like Gore & Kerry- its not going to work at all.

They’ll live a miserable life on earth too. Never enjoying the wonders of this world always worried about doom and gloom.

The Sahara was a lush place 10,500 years ago with a florishing human population. The Ansasazi civilization collapsed in the 1200's due to climate change. The hunger stones of northern Europe date back to the 1400's. What did those evil ancient humans do to cause that?

The pedophile globalist liars at the UN said in the 1980's the world would be done by 2005. Yet here we all sit.

There is no climate change. Other than spring, winter, summer, fall.

Climate issue controversy only exists in American heads ..... In the rest of the world nobody is questioning the damage we are causing to our planet...... Americans are special and should never be taken seriously...

Hahahaha... These are consequences due to lack of education. The climate cannot be changed by humans, it is in the power realm of Nature. Humans can only imprint ecology, but not the climate. Two different concepts.

Honestly, with those profiting off climate change during this time of “emergency”, I’m sure they are going keep this going.

Climate change is a lie. If climate change was true there would not be any bank loaning money for beach front homes and condos. People are AWAKE NOW. Just go watch Al gore's inconvenient truth where he said the oceans would be so high that everything would be flooded hhhmm lmao

Climate alarmists did more harm than good.

wrong . It's a matter of reading the intelligence correctly

Which headline exactly?

Millions of years of climate change and you imply Washington can legislate it….

Hoax

Democracy Dies in Warm, Contaminated Seawater

Climate changes. It has for billions of years, but there is nothing we can do about it. We have no impact on climate. That is the hoax, pretending we can change it, while making fortunes from the lie. So rather than plan for eventual change we make Con Men and Politicians rich.

They are known as climate saps, climate zealots, climate cultists and climate terrorists. Rubes covers it all.

NO... it's the fact that climate alarmists are never fright about anything that's the problem.

As a moderately well educated person I think k all this crap about climate change is just that crap. It's a means to a. End for the NWO.

It's a cult.

You can’t stop the climate from changing

Media created mass psychosis , nothing more. 👏👏👏👏👏

Even GretaThunberg deleted this tweet. Less and less people believe in climate change hoax rn.

Ummmm. Do you think you may have contributed to this? Sounds similar to the COVID Doomers that you helped create.

WAPO, where the truth goes to die.

As if the Washington Post is not a willful contributor to this hysteria.

it's already happening

Are we starting with Greta and AOC, then working our way down, or up!?!

These stupid articles are a dime dozen now. Hope and optimism are actually destructive, but the establishment media won't admit this

For every extreme position, there is another extreme position to counter it. FIND A COMMON SENSE MIDDLE GROUND WITHOUT THE ALARMISM.

The bigger problem is the generation of people thinking climate change is actually going to do anything catastrophic. It’s not.

Greta said we had five years. Time's up.

So it's like that festival in the desert...burning man, alright get it ON

The vast majority don't give a flying f*ck

The rest of us call them 'idiots'

There is no climatechange It's a hoax.

Remember Al Gore? Look him up.

Or alarmists

Not “doomers” but realists - first reports warning about climate change because of human activity were written in 1950s. Decades & $Millions spent by oil & gas to produce faux scientific denial has carried humanity to this point & it‘s still business as usual for them 💰💰💰

The sweet spot between doomers and deniers are the compliant, those who would go along with “let us tax you to death as we suck up all the assets.”

Our self thought, on cogitate Slogan, smoking is injured health. But smokers can continued to Smokes. Climate researchers, save position We to polite nature. Result climate change on world.

Here's some fun facts: Antarctica was once a tropical rain forest. China/Russia/India are increasing their carbon output faster than all others can reduce theirs. The only tech available today to replace fossil is Nuke converting seawater to Hydrogen.

There are so many cold places that would love a little bit of warming😊 Humans are a natural part of earth’s ecosystem, earth made us, everything we do is natural. We heat up the planet a bit, we can cool it down if we need to. Earth is our own little spaceship through the stars

“can’t” or “won’t” “can’t” or “can’t without dismantling capitalism”

You created this.

not cant , wont be stopped , because of money lust ,

Perhaps you should ask congresspeople if they read the climate report at all rather than do this.

Climate Change hasn’t been stopped in 4 1/2 Billion years here on Earth

Even Bill Gates has moved from the vaccines to the climate change business...

Or “realists”

FFSs. 👆🏽🤡. Seriously?

For good reason. It can’t be stopped any longer. The time for trying to stop it was 15-20 years ago. We didn’t do much then and that doomed us. Now it’s about learn to live with the consequences and maybe try and curb it to whatever extent we can.

Lol WAPO with more bullshit

The 'we always take the middle ground regardless of the evidence before us' crowd is really annoying. They think that everyone else is an extremist and they and only they know what to do.

They are a lot more dangerous than the deniers.

One thing I learned decades ago, the UN is the Enemy of the United States!! Anything they say, do or think is bad for us. We need to kick the UN out of the United States, Cancel our membership and Monetary support!!!

Hopium to get you through the doom.

Move to China and India and help them.

The climate scientists gave the report to their governments who okayed the language……

if they have a billion dollars then the doomers are called preppers

It’s not a belief, it’s the truth.

Yea, it’s what we common people call “the media”😅

Wars and War games and Flying day-in and night-out and Tourisms and Fastfood restaurants is the main problems.

😂
