It’s Time To Stop Terrorizing Our Children

If you are a male or a female (or know someone who is) and have been sleeping too soundly lately, type “billions of children facing climate shock” into Google and you will discover dozens of articles from last week warning that almost half the world’s 2.2 billion children will face, as one article says, “climate-related disasters in their lifetimes, [a UNICEF] report found.”

With that extremely abstract, unprovable prediction, extreme bureaucratic solutions may seem too harsh, but remember, the “consensus” among successful politicians is, as Governor Cuomo said, “...if it saves one life, it’s worth it...” (Except in nursing homes, of course.)

Our children are constantly being terrorized with theoretical 500-year forecasts, based upon phantom science and, even worse, they’re being taught to mentally “shelter in place” whenever possible. This is not a recipe for long-term survival. A rigorous “better-safe-than-sorry” attitude is extremely dangerous in this jungle called the Real World.

Few journalists have the huevos to ask or investigate whether humans are really capable of lowering ocean levels or preventing millions of wildebeest in Africa from emitting methane. These reckless antelopes-on-steroids are gassing more than their low-lying meercat neighbors. They’re also suffocating many underground (pre-endangered) species, including isolated colonies of the naked mole rats. Who gnu? (And please, ignore the fact the ruminants and their methane are an important part of the food chain.)

If man is responsible for giving Earth a fever, why was the highest surface temperature ever recorded (134° F) in Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913? This heatwave happened several months before the invention of smog and commercial aviation.

I am much more worried about Civilization Change. Going from Free Market Free Thinking Republics to a super corparate global socialist hybrid. Or even worse, to a patchwork of Islamic dictatorships.

This is why I wish we could get some people to live off planet . People in such a place would have plenty of room to expand and would have no choice but to maintain themselves as a highly technical and freedom loving Civilization .

... half the world’s 2.2 billion children will face, as one article says, “climate-related disasters in their lifetimes,...

Actually, all the world’s 2.2 billion children will face climate-related disasters in their lifetimes.

But they won’t be warming-based and they won’t be man-made.

Climate change enablers never give the alternative climate if their onerous efforts to stop climate change were successful.

The alternative to the climate changing is climate stasis or inertness, which means it stays the same or doesn't change. But change from what?

What or where is that inactivity on the part of the climate. At what stage does the climate need to stay at to satisfy the climate change complainers?

Throughout my own personal lifetime so far, I have experienced living in locales with extreme heat , extreme cold, rain to the point of severe floods to no rain and droughts. I have lived through tornadoes going over my house to hurricanes pummeling my home. I've had lightening down a tree that fell on my home. I've had electrical fires started from lightening. I've felt earthquakes rumble and move the ground and my house. I've had the ash from an erupting volcano cover my farm and possessions.

But I survived. And I'm sure Mother Nature is not done with her extremes with me yet.

The fact is, I never felt threatened by the climate changing and causing weather extremes. I always looked at it as normal.

I am lucky I never experienced any great losses dues to extreme weather.

But where does the climate have to be to satisfy the climate change complainers? Where it's at now? Where it was 50 or 100 years ago? Or where it's at in their dreams?

Fact is, these people are not about climate change, weather change, the environment, recycling, saving the planet, or anything related to temperature of the earth.

It's all about the socialist/communist revolution and installing a new economic system to replace capitalism.
