Also, has anyone pointed out to these activists that by blocking traffic they’re contributing to the problem they’re protesting by keeping more fossil fuel burning cars running for longer than they otherwise would have?

B-Man Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 AND YET THE PRESS BREATHLESSLY PROMOTES THE NEXT ONE, EVERY TIME: Goose eggs: No climate doomsday warning has come true. The report cites 30 predictions made by experts, government scientists, and global leaders, including former Vice President Al Gore and Britain’s Prince Charles. “More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science,” said authors Myron Ebell and Steven J. Milloy. “While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited,” they added. Some examples: 1967 — Stanford University expert Paul Erlich predicted “time of famines” in 1975. 1971 — A top NASA expert predicted an “ice age” by 2021. 1988 — It was predicted that the Maldives would be under water by last year. 2008 — Gore said the Arctic would be free of ice by 2013. 2009 — Charles said there was just 96 months left to save the world. Starting Friday, there is a global climate strike set to last for a week. According to the organizers, “Our house is on fire — let’s act like it. We demand climate justice for everyone.” None of them ever puts their money where their mouth is. In fact, by doing things like buying beachfront mansions, they usually do the opposite. .

KD in CA Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The protest just went past my window here on Market Street in the heartland of 'progressive' thought. Anyone want to throw out guesses as to how many discarded protest signs I'll see on the ground walking 3/4 mile back to the Ferry Building this afternoon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
