These Climate Scientists Are Fed Up and Ready to Go on Strike
The world is being threatened with the horrors of a strike, a walkout, by "climate scientists", (link), excerpt below:

Predictably, many researchers balked, calling the idea wrongheaded or worse — “a supernova of stupid,” as one put it on Twitter. But the article gets at questions that plenty of climate scientists have asked themselves lately: Is what we’re doing with our lives really making a difference?
In northern Kenya, where drought has been ravaging crops and pastures, “people are still dying by the day,” said Fatuma Hussein, a program manager with Power Shift Africa, a think tank. “They are not even able to provide food for their animals or themselves.”
Some herders are moving their livestock to wetter regions, Ms. Hussein said. But vulnerable countries will not manage without support from rich nations, she said.
In Central America, climate adaptation measures that are effective today may no longer be feasible in the years ahead, said Debora Ley, an energy specialist based in Guatemala who contributed to the report. Between rising seas, droughts, and mudslides worsened by deforestation, Dr. Ley worries that some communities in the region may face collapse. “You can live somewhere, but if you’re prone to floods for six months out of 12 in a year, then can you really consider that habitable?” she said.
To my knowledge, Central America has always had horrible weather. See "Where Does the Word 'Hurricane' Come From?" (link) An excerpt: " The English word "hurricane" comes from the Taino (the indigenous people of the Caribbean and Florida) word "Huricán," who was the Carib Indian god of evil.Their Huricán was derived from the Mayan god of wind, storm, and fire, "Huracán." When the Spanish explorers passed through the Caribbean, they picked it up and it turned into "huracán," which remains the Spanish word for hurricane today. By the 16th century, the word was modified once again to our present-day "hurricane." An area that births the word "hurricane" is no meteorological paradise. As to fear porn, "had enough"?
They are saying that, if we ignore them enough, they will stop complaining and wailing about manmade climate change?
Sounds like a win-win to me.
It's a deal!
Indeed-
Why didn't they offer to do this years ago?
The entire world is BORED TO DEATH with hearing the whining pseudo-science of those twits.
The world would be granted a huge favor to no longer see the hateful, grimacing face of that goblin child- Great Thunberg. I have never seen such a dour, joyless soul.
The Church of Climastrology shall not be denied, Inshalgore.
GIGO Forever, they pray. Amen.
