As the lower-tier Democratic presidential candidates try to distinguish themselves by out-communisting one another, Andrew Yang’s contribution to the totalitarian sweepstakes is to propose that by 2050, the United States should be a private-automobile-free zone, replacing private cars with “a constant roving fleet of electric [and publicly-owned] cars.” To combat the evil effects of fossil fuels, of course. Because no alternative means of...
A sixteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, sits sternly, arms folded, facing members of the United States Congress, the elected representatives of the American people. Having previously submitted a decrepit, thoroughly discredited UN document (the IPCC’s climate Armageddon fantasy report), the earliest iterations of which the congressmen have been familiar with since before this girl was born, she now declares, peremptorily, “I don’t want...
An item to whet your appetite on this fine Monday morning (Korean Time): A Swedish economist — I cannot emphasize strongly enough that he is not a “hard scientist” but a social scientist (i.e., a non-scientist) — speaking during a panel discussion on cannibalism, argued that consuming dead human bodies might be an effective way to combat climate change, and that nothing but...
The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, who is currently competing somewhere in the middle of the pack of lies that is the Democratic presidential nomination process, says that if you have used a plastic straw or eaten a hamburger, you are “part of the problem.” Specifically, a CNN bimbo who wears grown-up glasses for that “serious look” — the kind they...
Mike Lee, Republican senator from Utah, gave a speech prior to the Senate vote on the Democrats’ “Green New Deal,” in which he promised to give the proposal “the respect it deserved,” and then proceeded to invoke Aquaman and giant sea horses as the most feasible means of realizing its absurd goals. In response, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the House of Representatives’ female approximation of...
MSN reposted a short article about polar bears. The article is named “On Thin Ice.” It says that global warming puts polar bears at risk. The article is written in simple sentences. This is so that public school children and Donald Trump can read it. Here is the main content of the article: Polar bears live in the Arctic. They spend their days...
The latest U.S. National Climate Assessment was released a few days ago, which is an odd thing to be saying, in light of the fact that if any of the previous such assessments had had any scientific legitimacy, we probably wouldn’t be here today talking about climate at all. We’d be off somewhere evolving gills by now. In any case, the 2018 NCA...
CNN was innocently hosting another ho-hum on-air hot-air panel discussion of climate change, when all of a sudden Rick Santorum committed the ultimate faux pas on this issue, namely floating the possibility that the “climate scientists” whose work is used to promote global socialist “climate solutions” may not actually be motivated by the love of truth. That is, Santorum noted that these experts...
A Category 4 hurricane has hit Florida. This, like all weather of any kind, is being reported in the mass media, and filtered through the minds of ordinary people everywhere, as an unprecedented, unthinkable, ominous event, and surely all the evidence you need, if you’re not just a pig-headed capitalist big-oil-owned monster, that anthropogenic climate change is REAL! As ABC News reports (to...
Oh, dear, it’s happening again. Just when you’re sure your relatively moderate climate, having reached the official first full day of spring, is headed for warmth and flowers from here on out as usual, along comes that dastardly global warming…er, cooling…um, I mean “climate change” — yes, that’s it, “change”! — to set you right back to February. Come on Al, pitch your...
