I'd like to flip the narrative on the left. What if normal people acted like we sincerely bought in to the "Climate Change" narrative - and used our response to that narrative to make the real world better? Imagine a program as intense as JFK's space initiative, but to:
. . . land our economy on a carbon-neutral footing and return that economy safely to the same level of profit and productivity as we have today.
What would change globally after that decade? The OPEC countries would go from an anti-American global powerhouse with a strong voice in the world's most critical raw material to a bunch of under-educated enemies who have managed to corner the markets on sand or jungle, and on socialism - but not much else. It might be worth the nightmarish cost of all that energy R&D to be able to turn our backs on so many enemies and not worry about their tantrums.
***The rapid and excessive use of fossil fuels pollutes our air, which contributes to the Greenhouse Effect***
WOW! I have not see the term “Greenhouse Effect” since around 1985 or so when Popular Science said they would quit using the term due to it not being true. About ten years later they were hawking the claims for Glo-Bull warming.
No wonder these people are unhinged. Read this excerpt. These people go day to day being terrified of everything from a dyspeptic look from a minority, some Columbian coffee grower who is being exploited, to an inadvertent gender assignment (it has to be one gender out of 50 options) with Global Warming sandwiched in there somewhere.
They are either completely ideologic, disconnected from reality, or both.
“...studying environmental sustainability.”
Soon to be employed, long-term, at Starbucks or Whole foods.
Clean up your own pollution and the climate will take care of itself.
If he would just give up his 2 million sq ft mansion, H2 Hummer, limo and private jet that would solve the global warming problem.
Surrender all your wealth and obey, and ye shall be saved from sure death and destruction. So sayeth the wise. (Book of Global Warming...er, Book of Climate Change, Chapter 1, verse 2)
Environmental Sustainability.
Another pseudo-political leftist pursuit.
For Democrats,
Climate Change requires RESILIENCE to tolerate high temperature heat and the chilly cold. Bundle up.
For Republicans,
Climate Change requires adjusting your home thermostat until you feel comfortable.
Cute girl. Skull full of mush.
So, Samantha, if you (or any of your readers) want to be "resilient," they should buy heavier coats, better gloves, perhaps long underwear, and insulate their homes better (which saves money, regardless of the weather). Just stop the BS about man-made climate change - we can change the climate inside of buildings, even large ones, but most certainly not on a planetary scale. Sheesh, one lousy volcano (Mt. Pinatubo in the Phillipines) in a few weeks in 1986 threw more sulfur dioxide (a "green house gas") into the atmosphere than ALL of man's output of sulfur dioxide, in ALL of history COMBINED. Remember, we're a speck on a speck - we're only important in our own minds.
Absolutely unbelievable that these deep state religious zealots are willing to reenter the ice age without any protection at all. They wont survive the first year.
Reliance on the UN’s IPCC is not my idea of a good choice. Their first report was issued in 1990 and they included the following predictions; “[a] global mean temperature [increase] during the century of about 0.3º C [0.5º F] per decade (with an uncertainty range of 0.2 to 0.5º C per decade)” & “an average rate of global mean sea level rise of about 6 cm [2.36”] per decade over the next century (with an uncertainty range of 3 10 cm per decade)”. Given the 18 years since, I’m a bit skeptical.
Add to this the various problematical statements from various IPCC members indicating a generalized desire for global wealth sharing and governance, and I get more skeptical.
That’s exactly what their masters have planned.
It’s what they have planned for us, too, but that might not go as smoothly.
