Wacka Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Was listening to Rush today and he found an ABC promo for a show they had on in 2008 about global warming. It had people predicting that NYC and Miami would be flooded by 2015 and that gas would be $9.50 a gallon and milk would be $13.00 a gallon by then too.

SoCal Deek Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The construction of the Climate Change hoax is truly brilliant and the tweaking of the name from Global Warming brings it all into focus: 1. Create an alternative term for weather. 2. Make a natural gas a carcinogen. 3. Scam everyone out of money to ‘fix’ the top two. The same was true when Coca Cola was first sold for medicinal purposes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 BJORN LOMBORG: Sorry, banning plastic bags won’t save our planet. A 2018 study by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food looked not just at plastic waste, but also at climate-change damage, ozone depletion, human toxicity and other indicators. It found you must reuse an organic cotton shopping bag 20,000 times before it will have less climate damage than a plastic bag. If we use the same shopping bag every single time we go to the store, twice every week, it will still take 191 years before the overall environmental effect of using the cotton bag is less than if we had just used plastic. Even a simple paper bag requires 43 reuses to be better for the environment – far beyond the point at which the bag will be fit for the purpose. The study clearly shows that a simple plastic bag, reused as a trash bag, has the smallest environmental impact of any of the choices. Don’t bother the Gaia-worshippers with facts — they’ve made up their minds. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Thousands protest climate bills at Oregon Capitol. SALEM — Oregonians brought more than 2,000 trucks, tractors and other vehicles to the state Capitol this morning to protest climate bills and other legislation they say will threaten their livelihoods. Trucks circled the Capitol, honking. The Capitol steps, mall and surrounding streets were thick with protesters. Farmers, ranchers, loggers and others whose jobs are dependent on natural resources say the legislation — House Bill 2020, also known as cap and trade — will increase their fuel and energy costs while having a minimal impact on the climate. “We’ve got climate problems to deal with, obviously,” said Mary Hewitt, 19, waving her sign among a group of other young protesters. Hewitt comes from a family of truckers, fishermen and other working-class people. “So many of my peers have come out supporting these bills. They think they’re fighting for the environment, and I get it. But this is not the way to help the earth. Ride a bike to work. Walk more. Recycle. But don’t crush me and my family. We’re people, too.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
