Climate is unpredictable
By We’ve heard the dire warnings from prophets of doom, men and women of
“science” who continually predict the final apocalypse of earth and the end of all life!
I read somewhere that millennials believe the number one danger to mankind today is … climate change. That’s ok. They’re still young, and although they have bought progressive rhetoric hook, line and sinker, they’ll survive the prediction and live longer and in healthier style than generations of their forbearers.
The first Earth Day in 1970 arrived in like manner. “Scientists” agreed the earth would enter another ice age by 2000. It was already too late to stop the damage mankind had made to the environment. Overpopulation would cause large-scale famines with hundreds of millions starving to death annually. Synthetic chemicals in the food supply would poison hundreds of millions more, and average lifetimes would shrink to 40 years or so.
On the 47th anniversary of Earth Day we heard even more dire prophesies from another generation of “scientists” who evidently learned nothing from the predictions of their parents’ scientists. After decades of the climate staying pretty much the same, “scientists” quietly put away their theories of global cooling and began predicting dire warnings about global warming, to the extent mankind was raising earth’s temperatures so much polar ice caps would melt in a few years and sea levels would rise as high as 300 feet! Run for your lives!
Al Gore may have invented the Internet, but he knows nothing about climate change. The inconvenient truth is that none of his predictions are true. After preaching the apocalypse, “scientists” now warn – not about global cooling or global warming – about the dangers of … climate change! Oooooo! That’s scary! Because we don’t know which way the climate is changing!
Since the first Earth Day in 1970, America and the rest of the world have poured trillions of dollars into cleaning up the environment. And, even though “scientists” continue to give dire warnings of imminent catastrophic climatic collapse, they argue that all their warnings have actually resulted in cleaning the environment and making us all safer.
Did you know that elephants could hide in trees? Have you ever seen an elephant in a tree? See how well they can hide! And, “scientists” agree that President Trump is the most dangerous person on the planet because he could trigger a global climate disaster with just about any of his policies! He’ll receive no Nobel Prize!
Back on real planet earth, Korea continues testing nuclear bombs and long-range missiles. Iran continues making long-range missiles and experimenting with nuclear energy. The JV team, ISIS, has spread Islamic terrorism around the globe probably because they were offended by a YouTube video. If we could just help them get jobs, or control the climate, maybe they would end their reigns of terror! (Seriously, this is what they’re teaching your children!)
In Washington President Trump said we would learn something about tax reform and possibly news about repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. Congress is also due to pass another continuing resolution to keep the government running, a move many Americans are ambivalent about…. Congress simply has to agree to keep doing the same thing until they can come up with real legislation. No one believes the climate will change in Washington this week.
