Dont forget the late 70s when we were all going to freeze to death in the second ice age that was coming up fast.

I take climate change seriously.

It is the people who claim they have god like powers that I have trouble taking seriously.

I have repeatedly asked one question of all the "fix the climate" people, "What are you going to fix it at?"

What is the optimal climate?

Until you can tell me that how can I take you seriously?

You do not even know WHAT you want to do.

The authorities will determine your mental health at trial. Dissenter.

My brain sees Al Gore and the other climate alarmist flying around in private jets and thinks a big carbon footprint must not really be a big deal after all.

The human mind in about half the population has a mechanism that protects itself against forced religion. That’s how.

Follow the money trail....it’s a hoax to grift billions, if not trillions, of dollars from the “unwashed masses” in new taxes and regulations. Libs salivate and practically go into an orgasmic frenzy at the very thought of all that “new” money in their greedy little hands....
