'Earth is letting us know that something is not right' NAACP discusses climate change (tr)

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The whacky weather we've had lately is what some consider a major sign from Earth.

"Our Earth is basically letting us know that something is not right," said Denise Abdul-Rahman.

With Earth Day just days away, the Greater Terre Haute NAACP discussed climate change and ways to combat it.

Abdul-Rahman is the NAACP Indiana Environmental & Climate Justice Chair.

"What is occurring is that as we put out greenhouse gases, or what are called CO2 or carbon pollution, into our atmosphere, it is warming the temperatures," she said, "and those temperatures are melting our glaciers and causing flooding."

"Also because the temperature is getting hotter, it's making us experience drought and hotter climate temperatures," she continued, "and it also has a way of creating what's called a Polar Vortex, which we're starting to see with weather patterns that are unusual than normal."

That's why in light of Earth Day on April 22nd, groups like the NAACP hope you'll look into ways to help preserve the planet.

"Come Earth Day, April 22nd, everybody turn off their lights for a substantial amount of time to save energy," she said, "That way your power company will not have to use greenhouse gases in order to energize your home."

Abdul-Rahman also suggests picking up trash in your community, along with planting trees as they release Oxygen into the air, as well as cutting down on transportation.

"You can walk and carpool, catch the bus because automobiles put out emissions that impact the climate," she said, "and we can be less wasteful because as we use waste, it gets burned in incinerators, and that goes into our atmosphere and impacts our ozone."

Just when I thought the claims of global warmists couldn’t get any more stupid the NAACP steps up to the plate.

Blacks and environmentalists. A match made in heaven.

Dangerous:

Blacks think their are too many whites, and
E-whackos believe too many people.

Ergo: too many white people, "gotta do sumthin' wif dem!"

I am pretty sure they think CO2 is a minority group who has been oppressed by White Folk.

When the Midwest is under 10 ft of ice, will they admit we are in a new ice age?

Record breaking cold? Climate change.
Severe thunderstorms? Climate change.
A hot summer day? You bet it’s climate change!
Snow in April? Climate change

I’ll be 47 this year and have lived most of my life in Kentucky, other than my time on active duty US Army. I’ve seen severe storms, been near tornadoes, seen knee deep snow, cursed long stretches of rainy and cold spring weather. These idiots at the NAACP need to get back to their mission-which was apparently to advocate for blacks. However, they suck at that too.

——I bet none of these jerks know the per cent CO2 in the atmosphere at sea level.——

Not just them, but pretty much 99% of people...

I always ask that question when confronting warmist cultists...

They never know or guess it’s hundreds of times more than the actual number...

Their “advice” worked so well down in Parkland, Florida.

The first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, was also Lenin’s 100th birthday. Coincidence?

[[”Our Earth is basically letting us know that something is not right,”]]

You mean like many years ago when ‘global warming’ melted miles thick ice covering large sections of the globe and caused animals to alter their habits and weather went wild?

[[Data at the polar cap shows that natural warming results in increase in CO2 previously trapped in ice. It is not CO2 that causes warming but the warming that causes CO2 release.]]

Sadly you can NOT fight them with logic- it goes right in one ear and out the other and their agenda keeps right on steamrolling the world
