‘It’s a tragically teachable moment. I don’t say this in a partisan way. But the parallels [between COVID-19 and climate change] are screaming at us, both positive and negative. Just think about it. This moment in life is inseparable from this moment on earth.’

That’s the take this Earth Day from former Secretary of State and onetime presidential contender John Kerry, who was a participant in the inaugural Earth Day 50 years ago.

He described that Nixon-era march, well before social-media sharing but timed to the launch of the Environmental Protection Agency and other initiatives, as his first moment of activism after arriving home from combat in Vietnam.

The onset of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic from the novel coronavirus has “made more people value science, flattening the curve has given proof of concept to the fact that when lives are on the line, and as people understand that their daily decisions are connected to the lives of others, people everywhere will mobilize,” Kerry said in an interview with Our Daily Planet.

They are.

Crappy computer models

Even tweaked with more and more real data, they are wrong.

Libtard and politiicans major overreaction

Cure is worse than the disease

People losing their minds over fear and hyateria rather than an accurate assessment

Basing decisions on overhyped emotions and panic

Yup lotsa parallels

‘The parallels are screaming at us,’ says John Kerry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He’s right. The parallels are obvious.

Just like the models they used to promote Global Warming were false. They were based on LIES and deceit.....

So were the models used to scare us into million of US deaths. They too were false.

The parallel is that liberals would ruin the economy to “protect us”.

John Kerry — trying desperately to remain relevant ... a bus that passed him by a decade ago.

The left is advocating high-density living and mandatory use of rapid transit as a cure for climate change, but - as we’ve seen in New York City - those are two factors which contribute to the rapid spread of deadly viruses. Hicks living in small cities, small towns, and on farms are much less vulnerable, as are people living in single family homes, which the left is also targeting.
