Environmentalist: Climate Change Is World War III
townhall.com ^ | 8/17/2016 | Matt Vespa

"World War III is well and truly underway," said Bill McKibben, founder of the climate activist group 350.org. "And we are losing."

"We're used to war as metaphor: the war on poverty, the war on drugs, the war on cancer," he said in an op-ed published in this week's New Republic magazine. "But this is no metaphor. By most of the ways we measure wars, climate change is the real deal: Carbon and methane are seizing physical territory, sowing havoc and panic, racking up casualties and even destabilizing governments."

[…]

McKibben also has been piling increased pressure on Republicans in Senate races to resist Trump or face disaster in November.

On Thursday, 350.org activists wearing Trump masks ran alongside Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who is in a tough re-election battle against the state's Democratic goveror, at a 5K road race in Manchester to confront her support for the Republican presidential nominee. "By supporting Trump, she's supporting racism, climate denial and violence. Voters need to reject Trump and reject Ayotte," the group's state director said.

They're losing because people with half an iota of brain cells can see this is a money making scheme. Any can't-i-date who runs along the lines of the gangreen gravy train should be knocked out of the race. Can we do better environmentally and still maintain a modern lifestyle? Uh, yeah. If these assclowns want to live in mud huts and cook wildebeast over a dung fire, let 'em have at it. And they still spout the tiresome meme of Trump = racism, climate denial and violence. I'm sure they could toss in some more items if they felt like it. Ecowankers.

Agreed. The reason, however, is that the war is against jihadism, not "climate change." When we figure out who the real enemy of civilization is, and gather the will to face that enemy unbowed in the strength of Christ, then the tide of the war will change, and only then.

If true, the only way to end this “Climate Change WWIII” is for all environmentalists to surrender and jump into the nearest active volcano to appease Mother Gaia.

I know some people who are concerned about global warming. But, they think Obama and other liberals are full of it, when they say it’s the greatest threat to civilization and all that.

Islamists need to be painted as wreaking the worst environmental damage to the planet to focus their pin-headed minds on the real enemy to the civilization they despise.

Oh, don’t we all wish they would. Unfortunately, we know that the smart ones that push this crap realize that it is just a way to concentrate power in their hands and the truly libtarded ones think they will be able to push everyone else off Gaia which they will subsequently inherit as the ultimate utopia. The truly libtarded can’t understand there will be no one to make their Birkenstocks much less their solar panels if they should get their way.

Rules For Radicals

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Too much "nothing" done to the radicals.

No. Russia, China, and Iran working together to bomb Syria, is a work war.

And it could get larger.

The climate assclowns will continue to eat whatever they please while flying in their private planes and helicopters to "climate events". They want YOU to live in a mud hut without AC, and without eating meat. And they want fewer of you.

Yeah, and the EnviroTards are the Axis Powers. No compromise, they must be utterly defeated.
