The Gargantuan Lie That Is Collapsing the Climate

The article argues that society is built on a "gargantuan lie" about climate change—the belief that we have sufficient time to address it or that "Net Zero by 2050" will prevent collapse—which mirrors other devastating societal deceptions throughout history. Author Adam McKay contends that large-scale lies, driven by short-term incentives and the desire to avoid consequences, have consistently led to wars, economic collapse, and mass death, and warns that the climate lie is similarly catastrophic.
