Climate Change Anxiety Made Me Do It
Activist let off charges for blocking Sydney traffic because she was worried about the climate
A CLIMATE protestor who caused gridlock when she stopped her car at the Sydney tunnel entrance and then chained herself to the steering wheel was said to have been suffering from climate anxiety.
All charges against her have been dropped.
According to news reports, the protestor’s lawyer successfully argued that his 22-year-old client had been terribly traumatised by the Lismore floods earlier this year.
She was suffering anxiety that had turned into full-blown PTSD because of climate change. This led her to block traffic during peak hour, while live streaming herself for effect.
Instead of being fined $22,000 or jailed for two years, as NSW laws designed to stop activists disrupting traffic stipulate, the woman was asked to undergo psychological counselling.
Personally I think they should have let the woman experience climate anxiety experience some prison cell anxiety, and then asked her to choose which she preferred.
But the magistrate didn’t see it that way.
Feeling worried about the weather is now a reasonable defence, apparently.
Next time a traffic cop issues me with a speeding ticket I’m going to argue in court that I had no choice but to break the speed limit.
“I was racing to get away from the climate change,” I will say.
And why not?
Isn’t anything justified when people like United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres’ say things like this …
“Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But, the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels,” he said.
The woman who blocked Sydney traffic, causing cars to back up for kilometres, was not a radical. The dangerous radical is Peter Dutton.
And the climate activist who set himself on fire at a London tennis tournament this month was not a radical, The dangerous radical is Liz Truss.
Chicken Little continued …
“We are on a fast track to climate disaster. Major cities under water. Unprecedented heatwaves. Terrifying storms. Widespread water shortages. The extinction of a million species of plants and animals. This is not fiction or exaggeration. It is what science tells us will result from our current energy policies.”
Next thing you know, the Climate Council of Australia boss Tim ‘the Dams will Never be Full Again’ Flannery will be telling us that climate anxiety is normal and warranted.
Actually, his organisation already did that.
An article posted on the Climate Council’s website says climate anxiety is perfectly reasonable and in fact warranted.
Well, I mean, it’s a climate crisis right? The planet is literally going to end in … um, what was it? I keep on forgetting. Was it five years ago? Ten years ago? Or was it last month? Or is it in 2030?
Where’s Greta when I need her?
Anyway, Greens leader Adam Bandt reckons it’s a climate emergency crisis thingy and everything is going to explode off the edge of a climate cliff or some such if we don’t stop flying places.
And if you don’t believe this, a thousand global elites will tell us all over again just as soon as they all fly their private jets into whatever luxury resort the next climate bed-wetting session is due to be held later this year.
The Climate Council of Australia helpfully advises young people traumatised by the climate to get some exercise, talk it out with a friend, or …. join a climate group and “take action”.
Which is exactly what our traumatised tunnel clogger did.
It’s easy to be mad at the silly woman for blocking the Sydney tunnel. But maybe her lawyer wasn’t making the whole climate anxiety thing up. Maybe she really is suffering from eco-freak.
Our anger shouldn’t be directed at the weather worrier from Lismore. Our anger should directed at those who are radicalising our young people with their nonsense climate porn.
Climate Change Anxiety Made Me Do It
I found this truly shocking that a judge could believe such a lame defence. Toughen up buttercup is what I would have said. These people have been lied to over and over again. Nothing justifies what this vacuous young woman did.
If she really has climate phobia (fear of something unreal) that makes her park her car in the tunnel and block it off for sane people then I suggest she not be free to drive her car and that an asylum is the best place for her.
She and others like her are an obvious danger to society and like other criminals we need to be protected from them.
ACC is a theory based on change in greenhouse effect as CO2 levels rise.
The science has tested the theory and found it does not change.
History shows that they are not related.
We know it is a scam, totally false and yet so many people believe the lies and governments spend so much of our money on it that one would be forgiven for thinking they have proved it is true.
In fact it is a Communist conspiracy to destroy the economy of the free world.
Promoted by zealous Communist teachers who have no science qualifications, protested by thousands of indoctrinated children looking for any way to take a day off school, pushed by politicians fearful of losing their seat who have been selected by lobbyists to fund their sponsors who are investors in renewables. (e.g. Teals and Holmes a' Court, Greens and George Soros)
Follow the money and you will find why we are wasting it all on things that do not work to make the rich richer and force poor people to pay more for their power.
Obviously this is not good for our economy as it is a waste of money.
It is not good for these indoctrinated children as it misdirects their education.
It is not good for the politicians as nothing productive will come from their spending.
It does keep the lobbyists in a job short term and the investors get rich short term too until the market gets woken up and collapses under the weight of all the hot air as it leaks from the climate bubble.
Today we see the market in free fall and ACC / "The green new deal" is the main cause.
Cheap energy drives economies, pays the bills and increases our standard of living.
Expensive energy kills economies leaves us bankrupt and looking for scraps to eat.
This is a serious issue and we need to cut the lies and get back to the truth before we are completely destroyed by wasting our resources on a fantasy that gives children phobias.
