So what happened to the Climate Change hysteria?

It was all the rage not long ago as we were heading into a global disaster soon and all of a sudden...silence...and it is like nobody cares about it anymore. What happened? Seems like it's biggest proponents have switched their tune and it is all BLM now.

The pandemic has lowered global emissions which is a good thing. Hopefully we learned our lesson before it's too late.

Yep.

Temporarily, at least, the same place "acid rain" went, an hysteria I remember from my childhood in the 80s. It's all about narrative. Even covid was put on the back burner so BLM could be praised for rioting. When that went south and mostly petered out, and more importantly when Trump started holding big rallies again, the virus came back as THE daily story, even as, fortunately, deaths from it have continued declining.

You did not bring up Acid Rain, LOL.

Big rallies - deaths declining- big states closing up again
Hmmm

Global warming was already solved.

I'M sure AOC will have gas taxed up to $10 a gallon if you don't have a electric car.

What happened to the 'Obamagate' hysteria ? That lasted the average lunch hour about two months ago.

And the 'Caravan of Immigrants' coming from Mexico ? What happened to that ?

We don't have enough wildfires, droughts, or El Niños, or hurricanes to get anyone's attention. Coronavirus and BLM stole the show for a while.
