So they’ve been talking about climate control and the environment for about fifty years now, give or take. They’ve been making prediction after prediction of the catastrophic things that will occur, none of which have materialized or even come close to materializing.
It wasn’t crazy back then to consider our planet and the effects we are having on our planet and it isn’t crazy to consider the effects we’re having on the planet now. In fact, it’s smart, realistic and even forward thinking.
But…
It was crazy to make the global warming predictions. It was crazy to keep making them and think that they might materialize. It was crazy to scare us all about what turns out to be nothing.
In 1967 a dire famine by 1975 was forecast. This was an attempt at population control. The famine didn’t materialize.
In 1969 it was predicted we’d all disappear in a cloud of blue gas by 1989 due to pollution. Not!
In 1970 we were told we would have a new Ice Age by 2000. We were also told we’d have water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980.
The Ice Age bit was reiterated anew in 1972 and 1974. The 1972 reiteration said the new Ice Age would come by 2070. In 1974 one reiteration claimed that space satellites showed the new ice age was coming fast.
In 1980, it was acid rain and repeated warnings that no end was seen to global cooling. But in 1988 cooling switched to long, hot summers, or global warming and rising sea levels which would completely cover certain islands, even some nations.
In 1989 we were told that the West Side Highway would be underwater by 2019, and in 2007 we were told that our kids would not even know what snow is, that snowfall is a thing of the past, that snow will decline.
Of course it goes on and on with more craziness.
In 2004 we were told that Great Britain would be Siberia-like by 2020, and then in 2008 we were told by NASA scientists that we were going to be “toast,” that the Arctic would be free of ice in the summertime. This one was a major one articulated by Al Gore, Mr. Conservation himself, you know, the guy who uses more electricity in a month than the whole rest of his community combined, the guy who has made a fortune selling us global warming. What an inconvenient truth!
And on and on.
None of these dire predictions have come true or turned out to be even close to coming true. Yet now, lo and behold, we are told by the proponents of the Green New Deal that we have but twelve years to fix ourselves, that Miami will disappear, that we must spend more money than we have as a country over the next 20, 30, 50 years to solve the problem, and the solution to the problem includes destroying our economy as we know it, our transportation system as we know it and our buildings as we’ve built them. “Tear down that wall” takes on a new meaning.
Those Despicable Democrats talk about the Green New Deal as if it is the new normal, as if climate change as they see it is an absolute fact of legitimate science. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If any of us were as wrong in our predictions and as ridiculous in our proposals as they are and have been, why we’d lose our jobs in an instant.
When crazy becomes normal, like what we’re seeing from the left, from those socialist Despicable Democrats who are the American Politburo and their Pravda USA shills, the mainstream media/social media Consortium, all of them aided and abetted by the Hollywood elite, those residents of the gated city, the Emerald City, if you will, we are in deep, deep doggy do.
