The climate change pit of despair
wnd.com ^ | 12/8/2018 | Patrice Lewis

Everywhere you turn, you are bombarded with concerns about climate change. Whether the weather is sunny, windy, hot, cold, dry, wet, blizzard-y, hurricane-y, or somewhere in between, “climate change” is the default reason for the season.

And climate change, we are told, is all our fault. Humans – especially the wasteful humans living in Western nations – are solely to blame for anything and everything weather-related. Never mind geologic history depicting changes through time. It’s always our fault.

In 2017, the World Economic Forum took its annual Global Shapers Survey of 31,000 18-to-35-year-olds from 186 countries on key issue, and concerns about climate change were hands-down the winning worry, with 90 percent of young people agreeing humans are responsible.

The younger generations are fed a constant and never-ending diet of propaganda about climate change, from kindergarten through graduate school. “It’s pretty terrifying to realize that we are ‘the first generation that knows we are destroying the world, and could be the last that can do anything about it,’ as the WWF puts it,” notes an article on Mashable. “However daunting it is, when it comes to thinking about climate change as a whole, being overwhelmed and shutting down makes zero sense, because individual acts can make a huge difference.”

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

The transfer of money to them is the most important, as long as they get a cut. Dry that up and they will say, “What climate change? Nothing in it for me...”

Libs claim people are going to die due to climate change. Libs also claim we have too many people on earth. Why would they attempt to stop the process that would achieve the results they want?

Bingo. And many of the things they are fed are not even new, just old scams repackaged as new.
Anyone remember about thirty years ago when “stray voltage” was suddenly going to kill you? People were hiring so-called “experts” to find what we in the power industry call “magnetic lines of force”(vars), in wiring in the walls “to protect their children.
We got a great laugh at their expense.

I wonder how much of this will go away if we can disband Southern California? The land cannot and in no reality support the way that they have burdened it, and yet they keep thinking that things should be different and that their stupid actions should have different outcomes. At what point do these people understand that upending the whole world is not going to give them what they want? If they love the land, they need to stop abusing it. They need find more robust watersheds.

“It’s pretty terrifying to realize that we are ‘the first generation that knows we are destroying the world, and could be the last that can do anything about it,”

Ahh, the hubris of youth, and the hyper-hubris of school- and media-indoctrinated youth.

Hey, kids: Guess what ‘they’ said in the 1975...

They make these judgments while sitting in their warm, lit homes with tons of technology and full stomach. How ignorant. What ingrates.

People need to realize how insignificant we are. That's not a bad thing, it is a good thing. The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. The Earth's climate has gone through an incredible range of characteristics in that time. Guess what? It will continue to evolve and change regardless of what we do. We lack both the technology and the knowledge to do anything significant about it. The former is a good thing given the latter. If you want some truly sad entertainment, research mankind's ongoing string of failures at "managing" the environment - even on a small scale of say a National Park or forest or some such.

The main message to take away from this dose of reality is that the Earth's climate has always been changing, and almost certainly always will be changing - right up to the point the sun starts running out of Hydrogen and the Helium in it causes it to start to bloat into a red giant. Which will, unfortunately, probably consume the Earth, but our oceans and atmosphere will have long since burned away into elemental components. Our best hope as a sentient species is that we've colonized other star systems by then and can observe this process from afar.

Can we, and should we, be good stewards of our environment for future generations? Absolutely. However, we don't need to live in a perpetual state of fear, of remorse over what we're doing. The media, governments, and organizations with some skin in the game certainly want us, nay, need us in that ongoing state of fear. A people who are in fear, a people who believe there is a crisis, a people who think "something" needs to be done "RIGHT NOW!" are a people willing to be led. A people willing to sacrifice happiness, freedoms, almost anything based on the perceived seriousness of the promoted crisis. A people who believe they are in need of leadership and change give tremendous power, control, and wealth to those who claim to have "the" answer. Would-be leaders who claim they are smarter than everyone else, they have a direct pipeline to the wisdom of the ages. Would-be tyrants who claim "the science is settled." You know who they are.

Follow the money trail! A great scientist named Roger Revelle had Al Gore in his class at Harvard and the Global Warming campaign was born. Revelle tried to calm things down years later, but Gore said Revelle was Senile and refused to debate. John Coleman documents the entire story and shows how our tax dollars are perpetuating the Global Warming alarmist campaign even though temperatures have not risen in years and years.

Thanks for posting abclily.

Noting that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend in the name of environmental issues, politically correct global warming is just another excuse to appropriate unconstitutional taxes.

Also, patriots are encouraged to watch Dan Borgino’s excellent 37 min video (associated book). The video helps to flesh out the alleged Mueller conspiracy against Pres. Trump.

Well done. Our best, maybe only hope of exposing/stopping the climate change fraud is revealing their propaganda from 40+ years ago.
