A little more than two years ago, I wrote a column titled, What margarine can teach us about climate change. Inspired by a book excerpt in National Geographic, that column summarized just one example (the U.S. governments promotion of margarine and synthetic oils over actual dairy products to reduce heart disease) of how politicizing science can have devastating results.
As the climate crisis wunderkind have been striking all over the world, led by grumpy guru Greta Thunberg, I couldnt help but think of that column, and the many other crises weve been warned about over the years that never panned out.
Take Paul Ehrlich, for example. Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb. Published in 1969, it made shocking and foreboding pronouncements like, The battle to feed all of humanity is over, and [H]undreds of millions of people are going to starve to death. While researching Ehrlich, I came across a 2018 article in Smithsonian Magazine that was sharply critical of Ehrlich and his book, which Smithsonian describes as having fueled an anti-population-growth crusade that led to human rights abuses around the world.

I WANT CLIMATE CHANGE FIXED AND I WANT IT NOW!
So I dont want to sound mean. But... my son is 16 and I am around a lot of kids that age because I coach sports.
That girl does not look 16. She looks prepubescent. The only other girls I have ever seen that look that developmentally behind are gymnasts from soviet block countries, where they used drugs to delay puberty.
Maybe she is a super late bloomer, but I cant help but think something beyond cognitive issues is wrong with her.

That girl’s anger has made her really ugly.
“Guess the Swedish bikini team is forever gone now?”
In my experience the Swedes have an unearned reputation as physically attractive people. This little troll seems to be the norm, the bikini team the exception. They’ll all be muzztard mongrels in a couple of generations anyways.
Looks like re-greta-bull got a head start.
Huerta Wessel.
Pippi Wrongstocking.
She looks to have fetal alcohol syndrome. Also known as FLK,funny looking kid.
Real simple test to determine if scare mongering or actual concern. The response they give to any report stating the crisis may not happen or may not be as significant.
Scare Mongerer Response - Ridicule the data. Scream that the possibility still demands full action.
Actual Concerned Response - Act positive with the news. State this would be great if the significance was lowered. However, we should still keep an eye out for new data.
She has gone through extreme nutritional deprivation in addition to her OCD, Aspberger’s, Autism and selective mutism. When she was eight years old she was so depressed over Climate Change that she stopped eating for two months.
No telling how many other times she refused to eat for extended periods of time.
