“”Where do these effing morons come from? Seriously!””

I have no idea but I DO know they are getting very tiresome and we should run out of them SOME DAY!!!! HOPEFULLY. There is no bio on this jerk - just speaks his drivel for $$ it appears! Kind of like another jerk who used to be on OUR payroll in the US Senate and the WH who came up with this cockamamie idea of being able to change our climate. Did they NEVER think of pursuing something useful in life? Like REALLY working for a living like the rest of us peons?

I think a creative solution might be to hang a few of these climate scammers from light-posts.

Actually it’s pretty well documented that lowering the standard of living in the third world would increase population rather than decreasing it.

Sierra Vista was a great town to live in. I used to teach there. I left Pine, Az this morning about 10:00. the snow was about five to six inches and coming down hard. I’m in Wickenburg now and its not snowing. :)

We love Wickenburg. It is probably the most “un-Arizona” town in the state. Purely western in atmosphere. We may be buying a winter home there. We looked at several last year.

The Black Hills (SD) can be brutal for old folks like us. But the summers and autumns are glorious.

Truly sad that there are people that believe this crap, in turn creating billions of gimedats thinking that we owe them something.

Foreign aid should consist of a Bible, a copy of the Constitution and a good rifle.

What we need to do is get one of those Star Trek Genesis planet bio-engineering devices, then deploy it on earth. Then everything would be great, that would solve all of our problems.

Do they eat the extra kids? I’m saying no more food from the developed world. If the climate change is THAT critical....

They have more kids when they are poor and sick, because of infant and child mortality and lack of a social safety net. Raise the standard of living and voila, fewer children.

There are several articles that discuss the reasons this relationship is valid. If you are interested you can start here: https://www.quora.com/What-does-Bill-Gates-mean-when-he-says-that-we-can-reduce-world-population-through-vaccines-healthcare-and-reproductive-health-services

Raising global standard of living through providing health care, vaccines and subsidized nuclear power should be the only goal for climate change activists. Any other approach will not reduce carbon footprint, and only drives increased poverty and increased population.

That’s how you know NO ONE is serious about actually reducing global carbon emissions. They aren’t proposing the most efficient and humane means of reaching their (stated) goal, therefore they have some other goal in mind.

Actually, it’s quite simple:
1. Get better infant and child health care, especially vaccines for all childhood illnesses and malaria pushed out universally in the Third World.
2. Provide access to clean water and proper sanitation in the Third World.
3. Provide subsidized nuclear power to any peaceful nation throughout the world.
Governments should be farming out the first two through grants to qualified humanitarian organizations and working with the nuclear industry on the third. Any activist, politician or “scientist” who doesn’t advocate for these has no desire to do anything other than line their own pockets.

I guess the radical left is getting so brazen that they no longer have to try and hide their true agenda(s). In his very first sentence, the author let the cat out of the bag on what "Climate" folks are after - a massive transfer of wealth FROM the United States. (Was it ever really about saving the polar bears?! /sarc)

Of course, we "deniers" knew that all along!

We got about four inches of slush here in Benson, and the winds were brutal.

Maybe so, but your post wasn’t really coherent enough to qualify for any category of humor.

Sorry. I’ll use smaller words in the future. I really didn’t intend it for the mentally impaired. Do you have a caregiver who can explain it?
