I conclude that only 6% have a fully functioning brain. The rest have something less.

6% don't believe in climate change?? The statement is so broad it is meaningless.

Try manmade climate change...and publish a pie graph of the atmosphere that shows our "presumed" part in the whole of things.

Even that’s too broad...It would have to be at the exact same place at the exact same time with the same thermometer...etc etc etc...in other words....scientific...not what Joe blow reported to the wqeatherman.

“I don’t believe in climate change” is a stupid choice. Climate change has been happening since the beginning of time and anyone who denies that is an idiot.

The choice should have been, “I don’t believe that man (or whatever gender you chose to identify with) does not cause climate change.”

The climate is not static. Human beings cannot change the climate.

Oh yeah, I meet those people all the time. I can’t decide if they are feigning their alarmism or they are true believers. Some of the things they say. There seems to be this belief, not one even suggested by the council on climate change, that Earth’s atmosphere will become toxic like the atmosphere on Venus.

Well, the air USED to be toxic, then all these plants made it safe for animal life to evolve from goo.

Doesn’t matter how smart you are. Your single vote is obliterated by dozens of ignorant, greedy people who have no appreciation for what this country was all about.

Maybe you don’t remember but not all that long ago the USA was a much different place, populated largely by fairly intelligent, civic minded and industrious people. Not that way anymore. Our society has been dumbed down to an alarming degree. T

I think there are many Americans who need to lose electricity during the heat of summer for extended periods of time due to the various green policies.

“When the taste for physical gratifications among them has grown more rapidly than their education . . . the time will come when men are carried away and lose all self-restraint . . . . It is not necessary to do violence to such a people in order to strip them of the rights they enjoy; they themselves willingly loosen their hold. . . . they neglect their chief business which is to remain their own masters.”

Whether they need to or not, I predict that it WILL happen.

“this EV business. If it worked they wouldn’t need to strangle the economy to force people into EVs.”

Much like the Covid shot. If it worked they wouldn’t need to force people to take them.

*************

Today the “masters” are the liberal media and their allies in big tech who serve as the propaganda organs for the Democrats. I would argue that technology has enabled the relentless and pervasive power of such propaganda to a level never seen before and that makes the ability of the Left to control people unique in history. Of course propaganda is nothing new, but the techniques, media and means of widespread distribution are.

The Democrats make full use it to manipulate peoples’ emotions and they target every demographic across the spectrum. They are very good at defining and controlling the narrative and they know how to effectively brand their disinformation campaigns.

All we have on our side is facts, truth and logic which are no match for effective propaganda.

It’s kind of ironic..because America was as close to “utopia” on earth as is possible.
And the greedy knuckle heads ware trashing it for pie in the sky.
