I remember being a mush-brained kid in middle school. I had a teacher who had us all do oral reports, either on peak oil or the coming ice age. She provided all the magazines we needed to get our information. Kind of made sure that we could only hear one side of things. We then sat through 30-some oral reports on how in 20 years we wouldn't have gas for cars, or oil to heat our homes, all while we were going to be in a new ice age if we didn't radically change our ways. That's a hell of a thing to do to a bunch of 10 year olds!
Thankfully, around that same time in my life, my dad would take me out in the woods and teach me about caring for the land. The actual land that we were walking on, not the land of the dystopian future that is always 20 years away.
Guess which lessons have served me better. Funny how it's always the same catastrophes that are 20 years away, caused by the same evil oil corporations, with the same solutions. Oddly, when I walk that same land as I did when I was a mush-brained kid, I see that the world around me is in better shape than it was, roughly half a century ago when I was taught we were only 20 years from certain doom.
I understand. I've been waiting that 20 years until Fusion is practical... I don't want to admit how long. Let's see, I understood the basics by 4th grade, so...50 years.
The EPA, for all it's flaws and corruption, is based on the truth that pollution isn't affected by State lines drawn on a map. Ohio power plants & New York acid rain. ( remember that? ) Rivers don't change the amount of phosphorus in the water as they go from state to state.
And the Black Death won't stop spreading at the Arizona state line. ( unless there are roadblocks and a wall with sensors, guard towers, and an armored reaction force, or other measures more effective than our National border. )
Captain Trips may start, not in a secret lab, but under a LA overpass.
Child abuse has increased massively since this Con began. Being told you are going to die because your parents burn fossil fuels and you aren't going to live until your X+11 birthday has far reaching psychological effects.
Youth despair and suicide rates are up, 2007-2017. Not all of that is climate change. Some is sexual confusion, some is false guilt for being a colonialist white supremacist racist homophobe. ( especially gay Vietnamese reporters )
In other words, our children are dying in increasing numbers because of Leftist propaganda to destroy American life, Leftist (Chinese ) narcoterrorism, ( opiates ) Leftist....
The thing that gets me about the climate con is, its always "in twenty years", or "in eleven years"....but if you look back, NONE of their prophecies have borne fruit.
Well, you see, it's the success of the Marxist System that has prevented the previous predictions from coming true! Only be continuing the struggle to conquer Western Civilization and replace it with an absolute dictatorship of amoral monsters can we keep the sky from turning black! ( um... I mean the Seas from freezing solid, killing all the algae and suffocating us all! )
You see, only when you surrender all your pitiful illusions of freedom & individuality, can we save the planet by installing mandatory suicide booths that the subjects will report to on command.
You know, so the Ice caps don't explode!
The above parody is very, maybe too close, to the rhetoric of the Greenies, just more honest.
The naked truth is the entire movement is a political tool to take your freedom and property. When they say you can't be a Capitalist & support stopping Global Warming, they are correct. You can't stop the Sun from being a variable star.
The thing that gets me about the climate con is, its always "in twenty years", or "in eleven years"....but if you look back, NONE of their prophecies have borne fruit.
None.
Ever.
And people are too stupid to connect the dots.
Sounds a bit like defining insanity. It certainly describes stupidity. Unless of course, they understand it a big con, but just want liars in power.
It's a bit like thinking socialism will work. Funny that you get such a large overlap between the socialism and climate change fan boys. I'm honestly never clear if I should pity their stupidity, or despise their dishonesty.
Despise the leaders. They know they are lying or they wouldn't buy beachfront property.
Not sure about pitying anyone. They've been indoctrinated for years. The suicidal youth, the screaming protesters, you, me, all victims.
And it isn't overlap between Socialists & Greenies, it's Masters & Tools. One for one correspondence. The U.N., The writer of the Green Leap Forward, said so, the truth is out.
It has NOTHING to do with science, and EVERYTHING to do with power.
If you know 2 inconvenient facts, this is hilarious.
1. China basically promised to cut CO2 emissions, someday, after they've dragged their country bout of the Dark Ages, which to be fair, have been where most of China has been since before recorded history began in Europe. They love the Climate Con, as it costs their enemies trillions and improves their export market. They also have zero interest or intention to obey any agreement, knowing that it's all a scam. ( and being the Communist dictatorship they are, never intended to obey any agreement made, anyway )
2. China responsive to it's subject's environmental concerns?
