This is it!

“Step right up to the greatest show on Earth. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the world famous Climate Big Top is coming soon to your town.

“This year, the global greenhouse is bigger and better than last year. More Thrills. More Chills. More Chaos. More Corruption. See fires burn. Watch interstates buckle; bridges wash away–storms tearing up entire towns–seas rising into cities. Ignore the floods. Say good-bye to memories of places like Miami, Cape Cod, the Maldives, Venice, Washington DC, Hong Kong, NYC, Saaan Francisco, and Houston.

“And there’s so much more! Wonder at the power of our world famous magician, Corporate Corruption. Watch the Swami Corruption turns farmland to dust, forests to ashes, ice to water, seas to ruin, lungs to cancer, commerce to scams, dreams to fears, and your children to beggars. Hear the sounds of storms? Forget it. Swami Corruption says, ‘Listen to the kaching of money.’ Hurry. Hurry. Hurry!

“Marvel at the confusion–remember any simple science about your planet? Laugh at the big top clowns who say doubt it. You remember our Cartel-Clowns, right? You loved them as a kid. They are the ones who told you there is no human forcing of the climate. Those same clowns now say they are experts on human forcing of the radiative balance! It’s a laugh a minute. Who couldn’t love our clowns? They’re so silly! Gaze at the clowns as they ignore horror, a deep red smile on their face. Jokers all–do you remember last year’s favorite joke? ‘Weather is not dependent on climate conditions.’ It’s back with a new punch line: ‘This season…El Nino is the reason.’

“See to the clowns. Kiss the fuels! Feast your eyes on media-monkeys arguing with the clowns about fake science. Watch the clowns drop iron into the sea. Listen for this year’s best joke: ‘Geo-engineering will solve it all.’ A hundred laughs in every joke. Do you like clowns in a car? The Climate Big Top makes sure there are millions of cars and only one per car. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Get your tickets now.

“Hey sucker, wanna’ buy the Brooklyn Bridge? No? How about a wall that will stop the rising seas? Gaze upon the New York WOAAANDER WALL! Ninth wonder of the world! See it stop the future with concrete, mortar, and PR. See the WOAAANDER WALL circle New York City, stopping the seas, crushing the waves. Protecting Wall St–now there is a joke!

“Marvel at Climate Imperialism at its best! Watch and listen to Swami Corruption as he buys native lands and enslaves them. Hear the silence as nations drown. Remember when Swami said, ‘It’ll be decades before we see humans affected by climate change?’ This year it’s even better, listen: ‘Sure the issue is carbon dioxide, but we can bury it. Pump it into sea. Turn carbon dioxide into energy. Or just measure it wrong year over year. Trust our science. Mistrust theirs. We can’t beat the problem so let’s hide from it.’ The laughs never stop in the Climate Big Top.

Tired of the clowns? Stroll down our media midway full of hucksters and pundits, crooks and grifters, bimbos and frauds. Try a game of chance. Play our games: Scientists are fools. Kiss the clowns. Buy a hydrogen highway. How about a trip to mars? Hide in an 8K TV–don’t worry. We’ve got lots of time. Take a chance! Win a truck! Try the science and technology spin to win! Make money, keep gold, wealth is your safety. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

And bring the kids. Have them try our youth games:

  • ‘There is no truth.’
  • ‘Finger the Politicians.’
  • ‘Frack the Earth.’
  • ‘False science!’
  • And our all-new favorite! ‘Pin the spin on the facts.’

“Laughs by the gallon; Pollution by the planeload; Corruption on every level; The Climate Circus has it all. Like Music? Listen to the calliope remix your favorite songs or just sit on the sidelines. Songs like:

  • ‘Mister El Nino is meano–and he’s coming after you–BOO!’
  • ‘Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Earth?’
  • ‘We didn’t cause the fire–you did!’

“The excitement never stops at The Climate Big Top. Enter the Fun House. Put on some chains–dance to the ‘The Ignorance Waltz!’ Can’t get power? Shackles for everyone! Walk through the Hall of Mirrors. Gaze at death-defying first responders risking their lives to save neighbors, friends, your family, and our equity positions.

“Feast your eyes on the lovely ladies of the trophy room, and their wardrobe malfunctions. Gasp as M&A people, VC, arbitrage, and options brokers ignore the truth for that last little dollar–or was that a Renminbi? (Not to be confused with Ramen B.) Marvel at tight ropewalkers as they exit. Try the cave ride! Come early and stay late.

“See infrastructure crumble.

  • Find a bumble bee, get a prize!
  • Watch sea life wither.
  • View birds dying!
  • Old women choking!
  • Witness the poorest of us suffer!
  • Imagine giant homes burning in a summer sun!
  • See yourself desperate and crazed.

The thrills and spills of The Climate Circus are coming soon to a town near you–and lots quicker than you think. Or, come to The Cirque de Shackle Circus of Paris and see the clowns perform their latest version of the Keystone COPS! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!”


Okay, so that was a little rough–but we are fighting a ticking clock and time is not on our side anymore.

How about some real solutions? I mean beside putting the dirty bastards who told you to ignore the climate behind bars? We need,

  • Political will to address the changing climate
  • Solar power
  • Microgrid backups
  • Storage technology
  • Desalination systems powered by solar or tidal
  • Wind Power
  • Olivine research
  • Resilience planning
  • 3D printing
  • Infrastructure hardening
  • Warrants for treason

But what can you do?

  • Start supporting the politicians who are trying to save your ass
  • Witness the works of The Climate Circus
  • Quit supporting institutions putting out excess GHGs

Solutions are everywhere. I know that is hard to believe. Just like it is difficult to know what really works for solving the climate crisis. (Those clowns from the Climate Circus are industrious if nothing else.)
