Well, yes, and the situation is quite alarming, we should be paying attention and reacting.
Someone who can draw should make the cartoon of a building on fire and someone about to pull the fire alarm with someone else staying their hand and saying "You wouldn't want to be alarmist."
Yea, the climate scam didn't work, even after two generations of trying. So now a scary virus is doing more towards the agenda in a couple of months than AGW did in 40 years.

We are in a relentless Arctic #heatwave - Siberia is literally on fire right now and it's set to continue.
Temperatures will comfortably exceed + 30 °C within the Arctic Circle over the next 10 days at least. It is a staggering + 20-25 °C warmer than it should be...
Bear in mind that these days the traditional cycle of writing, rewriting, querying, submitting and being rejected by gatekeepers is not the only path to publication and that serving a proto fascist government and betraying your country is an alternative route to a book deal.
The poles have always wandered very gradually on the globe but in 1995 the north pole turned away from Canada towards Russia and accelerated over the next 15 years, 17 times faster than the previous 15 years.
The distribution of water over the planet is a big driving force behind this shift, by changing the way mass is distributed around the world. The Earth spins around on its axis like a spinning top, and if its weight is shifted around on the globe it starts to lean and wobble, changing the axis and poles.
“When I was forced to actually confront my identity, I realized that I’m no longer doing what I thought I was. My whole life has been documenting how life works, how we can conserve species that are in trouble. I was no longer cataloging life and finding ways to prevent ecosystems from reaching tipping points. I had actually hit my own tipping point. Somewhere along the way, I had gone from being an ecologist to a coroner. I am no longer documenting life. I’m describing loss, decline, death. And that is what is accounting for my kind of overwhelming sense of grief.
“This is what really brought home to me that my entire job has changed. I don’t like my new job, but I can’t quit. Even if I quit being a professor and doing research, I’m always going to be a coroner now.

I was told by SCIENCE in the 80's that we would all die of flooding and hunger by now.
That is 40 years of scare mongering... two generations ... time to move to a virus.

No you weren't. You misremember or you are a lying piece of shit. Porque no los dos?

I have seen lots of global warming deniers engage in covid denialism. I get why it seems like the same sort of thing to you.
In both cases experts make complex models based on actual science. You don't understand the models but you really don't care for the predictions and you reject the models out of hand based on your own fucking ignorance.
