Reminds me of the mantra of the sixties...........we WILL overpopulate the WORLD and we will not have enough water and food for all....blah, blah, blah. They attempted to scare the school children with this hooo-ha. It accomplished one thing..........to support abortion which soon became legal.

Me and you both. We’re having a major heatwave in the South. A coworker came in to work the other morning and said, “this global warming is terrible.” (she’s a big lib who voted for Sharpton in last election to make a point??)

I laughed and told her it was August.

Silly silly people.

I remember being told in college in the mid 70s that we were going to run out of food and fuel by 1990 and we would have to evacuate the northern half of North America because glaciers would cover it. This is the same class in which I pissed off Linus Pauling who said we were all going to die from nuclear war because Edward Teller was promoting a first strike on the soviets.

It was 1971, me and two other GIs (Larry and Jack) were watching TV in the barracks when they announced the global freeze. “Oh no! If the VC don’t get us we’re gonna freeze to death”. We couldn’t stop laughing.

BUMP

Hypocrisy and liberal spin do not get any worse than Newsweak.

I’ve printed it out and handed copies to my lib friends. It’s fun to see the looks on their faces and then listen to the string of “yeah-buts”.

As they say each yeah-but, I quietly repeat the yeah-but so they can JUST hear it.

[syriacus]

And all the assumptions are biased towards worst case scenarios.

Yes!

Thanks for the ping. Newsweak will try to downplay the global cooling thing but they have promoted every trend that has been seemingly upheld by science if it also could be used to bash capitalism.

RFK, Jr. needs to learn the real meaning of treason by looking in a mirror. In my view, he’s lining himself up to be the next dead Kennedy by making such absurd, hateful and incendiary remarks.

RFK, Jr. has all the restraint of your average drunk.

He's the kind of guy who ends up provoking bar fights. And gets the crap beaten out of him in the parking lot.

Unfortunately, he has the office and title of United States Representative -- which is due solely to his name, not his intellect nor his temperament.
