Let's consider some real news, for a change: Last year was officially proclaimed the fourth-warmest on record; scientists predict that melting ice in Antarctica and Greenland could not only raise sea levels but further destabilize weather patterns; and progressive members of Congress are proposing a "Green New Deal," the first policy framework ambitious enough to meet the challenge of global warming.
Climate change is the biggest, most important story of our time. Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will judge us by how well we meet the challenge, and so far we are failing. Miserably.
It's not about whether global warming is taking place or what's causing it — those questions are settled. The open question is whether the effects of human-induced climate change will be really bad, catastrophically bad or threat-to-civilization bad.
Enter the resolution, introduced Thursday by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey calling on Congress to create a Green New Deal.
he point of the resolution is not to propose specific, detailed policy prescriptions. What it does accomplish, though, is lay out the enormous scale of the climate change problem - and, as a commensurate response, call for "a new national, social, industrial and economic mobilization on a scale not seen since World War II and the New Deal."
uch a crusade, as envisioned, would create jobs and economic development while at the same time safeguarding the biosphere. Yes, proposals such as "upgrading all existing buildings in the United States" and "spurring massive growth in clean manufacturing" and "overhauling transportation systems" sound like pie in the sky. But that's the scale of the crisis.
Sooner or later, we're going to have to go big on climate change. So let's start thinking big.

Just inventing technology that’s never been invented.
What a bunch of pure f’n idiots these climate change idiots are!
A few days ago, an article posted here used the term “Cli-Fi” to describe the Climate Fiction genre that this column misrepresents as climate science. I posted my first tweet with hashtag #CliFi in recent hours, and urge all of good will to use that hashtag to good effect.
Is he also concerned that Guam may tip over and capsize?
That one is all over facebook. I’m surprised it’s not being suppressed. It’s usually pictured with AOC holding it and her big stupid donkey grin approving of it.
It is laughable that a major newspaper from a big city publishes Bull Shit like this opinion piece. They look stupid doing it year after year.
This crap socialist takeover science scam died a decade ago and the clowns won’t let it go.
Lying scum Democrats.
When eugenics Robinson speaks, nobody listens.
I neglected to see who the author was before reading the article. As I’m reading along I’m thinking, “Who in the hell would write crap like this?”. Then I went back and looked at the author. Eugene Robinson. That explained everything.
The more people start ignoring the climate scam the louder and more shrill the propaganda becomes . Con artists never give up the scam .
They want some big action. How about an Article V Convention of States? Nevada almost voted for one but a Repug leader killed it. The legislature then got siezed by RATs and they literally killed everything to do with Article V. Something to consider for Republicans worried about a leftist take over of the process: RATs are clearly scared it will go against their collectivist wishes.
LMAO! STFU DUMMY!
Take out the lies, theft, death, tyranny and unscientific baloney, and it’s a great idea.
Whatever happened to "Question Authority"?
Ah, the “New Deal!” Smells like FDR’s old baby. Just more of their same old S...!
Time for Geno to have a big mug of STFU; wonder how much he gets paid for that.
Things to come
As we look around worldwide we find events such as too hot in one area, unseasonably cold in another, along with floods, draughts, more destructive and frequent earthquakes as well as volcanic eruptions. Someone in a motorboat going down an avenue in Kuwait City, while they are trying to get rid of locusts and bugs in Mecca. And there are many, many, many more of such unusual events.
Each event considered individually may easily construed to be an aberration, just what you may think by looking at the individual paint strokes of a picture, but looking at the overall and whole picture worldwide, the idea may sink in that there are forces at work way beyond our control. Unfortunately this is just the prelude of THINGS TO COME unrelated to human endeavors, even so ignorant and dumb politicians including many so called scientists are attempting to tell us otherwise. Passing it off as global warming and since this did take off like a lead balloon, more recently referring to it as CLIMATE CHANGE which of course is true up to a point, as climate does change from one day to the next, yet it does not address the real causes, the two forces most likely in play are complex and completely unrelated to any human endeavors or activities.
The most recent but not the only cause for Earth’s unusual behavior is another GSM or Grand Solar Minimum with the last one, the Maunder Minimum taking place from 1645 to 1715 and the other joining in is the BEGINNING or re-occurrence (repetition) of the 3600 year signature cycle. Having both running concurrent does not bode well for smooth sailing. There is also a good possibility that this re-occurring 3600 signature cycle may also have ushered in or triggered this new GMS cycle of our sun, in the same manner as it has triggered some unusual behavior amongst some of the other planets in our solar system.
This 3600 signature cycle is the same cycle which ushered in the TEN PLAGUES and gave the then Egyptian Pharaoh, most likely Thutmose an Excedrin headache. Eventually being document and recorded as the biblical stories of the TEN PLAGUES followed by the EXODUS. Those were worldwide events not just limited to ancient Egypt as by checking historic accounts of ancient China we find that they were plagued by very similar events, such as unseasonable heat or cold spells, along with storms, floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Anyone who has been paying attention to what is going on worldwide, aside from humans getting into each others hair and attempting to kill each other; one would think it would ring a bell! But has it? As stated earlier, so far by living in the Midwest we have gotten by relatively easy and unscathed. Let us hope it will continue.
The stupid. It burns.
