The Guardian bolstered the proliferation of lawsuits against governments and companies over climate change by portraying them as incredibly significant.

The left-wing British newspaper asked in all seriousness on March 20, “Can Climate Litigation Save the World?”

In it, environment editor Damian Carrington’s word choice revealed support for these efforts. He called courts the new “front line” against climate change and cited numerous instances where “groups and individuals seek to hold governments and companies accountable for the damage they are causing.”

Hmmmm. I believe "ahnold" was stating the tobacco angle just the other day at 'sxsw' just before he was getting ready to private jet off to yet another gathering of our betters.

Soap box
Ballot box
Jury box
Ammo box

So the Warmistas want to escalate this? Agenda 21 is a battle worth taking to the ammo box level.

True. But one thing I’ve learned from the Progs is that you don’t shy away from mentioning things just becuase the audience is ignorant. You use their ignorance to either teach them or control them.

I just got Scott Adams’ new book “Win Bigly” where he analyzes persuasion. He understands contemporary thought (or more correctly lack of thought) processes better than anyone. I recommend it highly. It is the Rules for Radicals for the social media world.

The sale of all fossil fuels needs to be "banned" IMMEDIATELY!!! All gas stations should be shut down and padlocked!!! We have to "save da planet"! This can't be done half ass with these fuels being allowed to be sold as long as 'RAT politicians get their cut. BAN all fossil fuel products, NOW!

Talk about a "constitutional crisis". LOL.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

They have failed at political persuasion, so they go to the courts where they can try overrule the people.
