The Green Lie: How Elites Use Climate Hysteria to Control You

EDITOR'S NOTES

The environmental movement isn’t about saving the planet anymore—it’s about power. In this article, I dig into the so-called “doomsday” industry that’s been peddling fear and failed predictions for over 60 years. I’m not here to deny that environmental issues exist. But I am here to call out the ruling class—elites, media manipulators, billionaire technocrats—who’ve turned these issues into a weapon against your wallet, your car, your choices, and your freedom. This is a libertarian warning against environmentalism as political theater and economic sabotage. Read it, get angry, and prepare.

The Climate Cult Has Been Crying Wolf Since 1970

Let’s take a walk down memory lane.

Back in 1970, the “experts” were shouting that civilization would collapse by the year 2000 unless we handed over total control to them. Harvard’s George Wald said it. Paul Ehrlich—the godfather of eco-fearmongering—predicted 4 billion people would die in a “Great Die-Off” by 1989. Famine, floods, freezing temperatures, species extinctions—you name it, they promised it.

Spoiler alert: None of it happened.

But here’s the kicker—they didn’t lose their jobs. They didn’t get laughed off the world stage. In fact, these same frauds are still on TV. Still in your kids’ classrooms. Still “advising” the United Nations.

Why? Because it was never about accuracy. It was about control.

From Acid Rain to Global Meltdown—The Fear Machine Just Keeps Running

When overpopulation and mass famine didn’t sell anymore, they moved the goalposts.

Acid rain was going to kill our forests.
The ozone hole would fry us all.
Now it’s climate change, the ultimate blank check.

“Climate change” is a masterstroke. It's vague. It’s flexible. It means anything they want it to mean. If it floods—climate change. If it’s dry—climate change. Hurricanes, droughts, snowstorms, heat waves, cold snaps—every bit of weather is now a political event.

They can’t prove their predictions, but they don’t have to. They just keep repeating the lie until it becomes law.

Al Gore: The Prophet of Profitable Panic

Al Gore became a multimillionaire off environmental hysteria. His 2006 documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, was a pack of lies.

He said the snow caps on Kilimanjaro would be gone by 2016.
He said hurricanes would become stronger and more frequent (they haven’t).
He warned the oceans would rise by 20 feet this century (they’re rising at the same snail’s pace they’ve always been).

Even a British judge ruled his film was riddled with scientific errors. But that didn’t matter. The goal was never truth. The goal was fear. And fear is profitable.

Capitalism Feeds People—The Climate Agenda Starves Them

Let me be clear: This is not a denial of environmental issues.

Yes, pollution exists. Yes, we should take care of our land and water. But the current green agenda isn’t about environmental stewardship. It’s about wrecking capitalism.

For decades, elites have told us that capitalism is the root of all environmental destruction. But the facts say otherwise. Capitalist nations have cleaner air, better water, and more protected wilderness than any socialist regime ever dreamed of. Ever been to Soviet Russia? East Germany? Mao’s China? They were environmental nightmares.

Capitalism feeds people. The climate agenda starves them.

The War on Your Car Is a War on Your Freedom

You’ve probably noticed the elite’s new obsession: destroying the gasoline-powered car.

They don’t want you driving to work, to church, or to visit your family. They want you on a bus. Or better yet, locked inside your 15-minute city, monitored by facial recognition and “carbon credits.”

They say electric vehicles will “save the planet.” Yet Ford lost $20 billion trying to force-feed them to a public that wants nothing to do with it. Working-class Americans still prefer their F-150s. That drives the climate cult nuts.

This isn’t about emissions. It’s about control.

Meet the Billionaire Hypocrites Selling You Poverty

Bill Gates owns more farmland than anyone in America. Tom Steyer helped bankroll California’s “green” energy disaster, and now he wants to be governor—on a promise to make things more “affordable.” The same Steyer whose policies helped make California unaffordable in the first place.

These billionaire “saviors” fly private while lecturing you about meat consumption. They live in beachfront mansions while warning you about sea level rise. They fund propaganda campaigns calling for global “depopulation”—while hiding behind philanthropic fronts.

It’s not guilt. It’s strategy.

They use environmental panic to choke off your freedom while consolidating theirs.

Climate Change Is the Excuse. Tyranny Is the Goal.

From lockdowns to smart meters, from ESG to digital IDs, the environmental panic has become the Swiss Army knife of the ruling class. Whatever control mechanism they want to roll out next, climate change is the excuse.

The elites can’t afford to let this narrative die. Because once people realize the climate apocalypse is a lie, the whole house of cards comes crashing down.

And they’ll do anything—anything—to protect it.

What We’re Really Up Against

This is about more than carbon footprints and polar bears. It’s about the long war between freedom and control.

Capitalism lifted billions out of poverty.
Fossil fuels built the modern world.
Private property, individual liberty, and self-reliance are still the backbone of America.

And that’s exactly what the elites want to destroy.

They don’t fear climate change. They fear a free people who don’t buy their lies anymore.

Final Word: Don’t Let the Climate Cartel Steal Your Liberty

This year, like every year, they’ll crank up the hysteria. They’ll say 2026 is the “tipping point.” They’ll say it’s your fault. They’ll say you must sacrifice more while they grow richer.

Don’t fall for it.

We must protect the Earth, yes—but not by handing over our freedom to the people who’ve lied to us for six decades. Not by collapsing our economy to please unelected technocrats. And not by silencing dissent in the name of "science."

This is your country. This is your future. And this is your fight.
