Author Stephen McMurray says that professional psychologists are using fear as a weapon to manipulate public behaviour.

McMurray says:
Psychologists are saying, quite openly, that telling people facts doesn’t work, and that psychological pressure should be brought to bear in other ways. Their professional bodies seem to have no interest in preventing this shameful and completely unethical behaviour.”
McMurray says that the Government and Civil Service are also quite open about using psychological warfare against the population at large.
Indeed, the view in Whitehall appears to be that fearmongering, as widely applied during the Covid pandemic, was a success, and should be seen as a model for use in the drive for Net Zero.
Civil servants seem quite happy to treat the public as lab rats for them to experiment on as they see fit. They are out of control, and nobody in Government seems to have any interest in stopping them.”

The Climate Psychology Alliance wishes to use their expertise in the field of psychology to nudge people into believing in their worldview of impending climate-induced doom.

Quote: In the Climate Psychology Alliance we draw on psychotherapeutic approaches, psychosocial studies, the arts, spiritual and philosophical thought, literature, systems thinking and ecopsychology, all in the service of unpicking our collective and individual responses to the crisis, much of which is unacknowledged and unconscious.
Aka psychobabble.
“Modern psychologists have greatly enlarged the frontiers of irresponsibility: they needed more space in this territory.” –Karl Kraus
“…deception and prevarication are intrinsic to the principles of psychiatry, and fraud and force are intrinsic to its practices.” –Thomas Szasz
Problem is going to be, they’re all so busy hooting and screeching, flapping and waving their tiny arms and getting over-excited over all this phantasmagorical unicorn manure that when a really big, nasty, dangerous problem rears its ugly head they won’t recognise it, and if/when they do, we’ll all have lost faith in them to such a degree that no-one will believe them anyway!
To push political policies on us, not science. Same as happened with Covid. And as with Covid, when all political parties agree, this stuff runs wild.
… huh, Boss, I can’t come to work today because I’ve got a sore back ( from listening to all this) .. Hmm, dare I say: “It’s all in the mind”
Climate alarmism supported by both scientists and political activists is based on a false physical theory, doctored data, and twisted/manipulated facts. Fearmongering through spreading of falsehood has become necessary, because the physical truth does not warrant an alarm and there is no “climate crisis” in reality… The problem is that most people (including PhD scientists) would believe any nonsense, if it comes from a perceived place of authority such Governmental Institutions or International Organizations like IPCC. The majority of people simply cannot fathom that “authorities” can be completely confused and misleading the public in a big way, although this state of affairs has become the norm in recent decades.
