It seems there is a human gene that is dedicated to fixating on some condition, and convincing yourself that the end is near. Thirty years ago ‘global cooling’ was going to kill us all.

Around that same time overpopulation was going to kill us all.

About the same time global food shortages were going to kill us all.

Today it’s global warming, but don’t be surprised if in ten years we’re back to trying to counter global cooling.

There will always be a group of people trying to save the rest of us from something. They will always try to get government intervention to save us.

The sane folks will yawn and go on with life, knowing those fools will replaced with another dedicated bunch of psychos in time.

It’s a form of mental illness.

And in process getting my money in form of grants from govt to fund lunatic stidies to prove their point.

We stop funding them they might just go away.

Except that Global Warming is a front for a different kind of agenda - that of 'sustainable' development (otherwise known as killing off suburbia).

Whoa, whoa, whoa back up. I need to stock my bomb cellar with all this doom and gloom. (sarc, really)

In just the past 3-5 years it’s gone from global warming to global cooling to global warming several times! Finally the environmentalist wackos saw what was really happening and just started calling it “climate change.” Now, they can’t possibly be wrong anymore!

Not a "human gene" but a "liberal meme". All of these were (and are) liberal/socialist talking points.

Nah, just a 'catastrophe de juoir' for the masses to surrender power...

everything is a calculated move by the commie bastards on the great chess board of life...

I didnt graduate MIT, but i could tell it was all bunk from the gitgo...1/2 degree global temp over what 50-60 yrs ???

the tech in thermometers has changed how many times in that period ???

when watching local weather to plan my day, i always check the 'record highs and lows'...most are from the 1880s-1930s still yet...
