World population rejects climate change
A UN poll of more than 6 million people worldwide has ranked climate change at the very bottom of their list of priorities, with getting a good education at the top of the poll.
Climate change ranked higher in the more affluent nations such as the U.S. and the U.K., but overall was not given much importance.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Historically proven to be hysterical:
https://youtu.be/lYAMjUFvIec
This guy in 2007 makes a statement of FACT, “If we survive”.
My prediction? In 50 to 75 years as the natural cycle of the earth continues without much consideration for what man does or does nor do there will be a COLD trend and once again the earth will trend into an age of cold and ice and these same magpies will then demand that there be more oil drilled for and burnt in order to “Save” the earth!
These people are nuts, both in the science that they are attached to and their politics.
I think the hysteria has failed because it became clear it was being over politicized and monetized.
It was clear one side of the political aisle declared this as a key topic, while at the same time trying to demonize the opposition as being in favor of dirty air, dirty water, and planetary destruction. Only hardened rubes fall for that kind of demagoguery.
It is also clear that they want your money. The carbon credit trading scheme is a money making system for those that invest, and a killer for the little guy, economically speaking. The question “why does fixing the planet always require me to give up my hard earned money” resonates with most people.
I personally was told that accepting pollution was bad, and that we should all try to live cleaner lives was not acceptable. I must accept the climate change claims 100% and then, and only then, can I claim to truly care about the planet. My failure to accept this only proved that I too, desired dirty air (that my family and I breathe) and dirty water (that we also drink).
