Call climate change what it is: violence

The Guardian ^

[ClaytonP]

If you're poor, the only way you're likely to injure someone is the old traditional way: artisanal violence, we could call it – by hands, by knife, by club, or maybe modern hands-on violence, by gun or by car.

But if you're tremendously wealthy, you can practice industrial-scale violence without any manual labor on your own part. You can, say, build a sweatshop factory that will collapse in Bangladesh and kill more people than any hands-on mass murderer ever did, or you can calculate risk and benefit about putting poisons or unsafe machines into the world, as manufacturers do every day. If you're the leader of a country, you can declare war and kill by the hundreds of thousands or millions. And the nuclear superpowers – the US and Russia – still hold the option of destroying quite a lot of life on Earth.

Maybe they are planning to attack China, the worst Global Warming offender.

Nahhhh....

I’ll call it what it is, a fraud.

I didn't post it, so I wasn't being touchy. The Guardian is invariably socialist, except when they're full-throated communist. It's pretty common to tag the articles with "Mega-Barf Alerts," but that seems increasingly unnecessary as we spiral down into the abyss...

The left setting up the logic to use violence to suppress "climate violence."

Oh please...just try it.

IMO, I think it would help to put some kind of parenthetical disclaimer after a lying Leftist headline. They are not always so obvious, sometimes quite subtle. A disclaimer helps when you have time to glance at the headlines but don’t have time to read the zillions of articles. It also tells us something of why the poster put it up because as you know, there is a fair amount of disagreement in FR about a fair number of issues. Unfortunately, many seem to be taken away from the big gorilla issue ($4 Trillion life-and-freedom-threatening federal government) by disagreements on “peripheral” issues. (IMO, all political issues are minor compared to the big government problem which threatens our freedoms and way of life.)

I’m more concerned about Americans growing up not knowing ANY history earlier than the Fabian/Progressive Socialist-dominated 20th century.

Or, you could, say, write a book that claims harmless DDT is causing mass extinctions, and then when DDT is banned, lament the millions of deaths needlessly caused in Africa by malaria-bearing mosquitos.

Spot on zipper. I could add many other examples as I am sure you could as well.
