Wally draws parallels between biblical warnings about false prophets and well-documented mass delusions in American history, including the Salem witch trials and McCarthyism. Manheimer argues that contemporary climate alarmism follows a familiar historical pattern. He critiques failed climate predictions, discusses the real-world consequences of fear-driven energy policies, and considers whether a modern “good witch” can bring this long-running panic to an end.
