Opinion: As panic about climate change sets in, I’m thinking about escape – to Canada

And out of the blue some guy named Peter Thiel was invoked. What does Peter Thiel have to do with the price of beans in China?

This lady is full bull goose loony.

[higgmeister]

As the illegal alien inundation sets in, I’m considering escaping to .......... I’m not telling.

Would you have apoplectic shock if you go there and found the real name of the place was Galt's Gulch?

[jmacusa]

I wouldn’t hit it thought Laz. Baby looks like she’s been beaten by The Ugly Stick big time.

I think we should get together and buy a large boat for all these nutcases to get on and sail away. Just have to convince them this is the only way they can survive. Shouldn’t be too hard with the IQ level they exhibit.

[SamAdams76]

It was me. I'm your global warming culprit.

Some years back, I accidentally left my garage door open in the middle of winter with the heater on during a two week vacation. Unfortunately I appear to have raised the earth's temperature by .1 degrees.

Sorry about that.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Thanks for this! Why does no Guardian writer ever remember this little fib?

Here's another one.

[j.havenfarm]

Just because one uses words like “lassitude” doesn’t means she’s not stupid.

Rosie O'Donuts spotted sounding as she makes her way to Canada across Lake Huron to escape President Trump and US Global Warming.

But is his face red?? I don’t think so.

[Pining_4_TX]

She’s going to feel pretty stupid (or maybe frozen) if the possible new ice age materializes. There is a better chance of that happening than there is warming. These people are unhinged.

I’m wondering.....say Canada, could we maybe work a trade? You get the Northeast and the Left Coast. Heck, we’ll even throw in Chicago. We get your West minus Vancouver which we will graciously allow you to hang onto.

Deal?

[rlmorel]

Heh, we sound like a bunch of Leftists figuring out how to gerrymander a voting district!

[seowulf]

Tell your children when the sea level rises and their feet start getting wet, walk up hill.

[jmacusa]

My daughter-in-law left Canada twenty years ago and has absolutely NO desire to go back.

[FLT-bird]

You’re right. What was I thinking? We’ll thrown in Miami too.

[reg45]

Minneapolis also has those plugs for block heaters.

[stevem]

I'm not sure Emma is serious, but she probably is.

Emma, don't be the last on your block to buy property on the Arctic Ocean. In the next few weeks it will become glorious beach front property where you can sun bathe.

Heck, you can even sell yours for enough profit so you can afford to build that archipelago.

[nhbob1]

The Trump=Hitler narrative has suddenly made the previously obscure Kristallnacht reference into a mainstream media goto analogy

[logi_cal869]

But, but but...it was on the “deadline list”! /s

Seriously, though: I read a piece a week or two ago that was listing climate as one of the dem’s hot topics of engagement for their constituency (mid-terms) and she hit all the right points.

Ignorant saps.

[Seaplaner]

No one had any answers. One friend averred that, shabby as this line of thinking is, one had to assume that when climate change posed an imminent threat to national security, the entire US defence budget would be ploughed into technology to reverse it, and we would be saved in the nick of time.

Emma so blissfully parades her hideous ignorance; it's as if she were streaking it.
