If we mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis, it will be because we understood our enemies and leveraged our collective power to take them down and let our vision spring up.

Blacks should have their own police force and prisons and judges and stores and banks and planes and schools and government...this is what Im getting.
Taken to its logical end, this is what a lot of black America seems to want. Increasingly, I am inclined to want to give it to them, with no possibility of reverting back. When I read about them buying a particular brand of toothpaste because a black person owns the company, or driving across town to a grocery because a black person owns that store, the craziness has gone too far. No other ethnic group has gained assimilation or a foothold in mainstream society by setting up a parallel universe. Maybe they should be allowed their fantasies--with anyone who does not buy into it allowed to stay assimilated, of course.

Dumbass. Your war on the auto industry in the name of climate change cost a lot of people, especially black people their jobs.

I have an exercise for Deirdre and others.
Reverse the races and the proportions.
If blacks had outnumbered whites in the 1800’s and whites had been enslaved, would there have been a Civil War? Could there have been a Buffy Parks refusing to sit in the back of the bus? Flash forward, would there have been a Civil Rights Movement? Would there have been affirmative action for whites getting whites into Universities though they didn’t actually qualify? Would there be trillions spent to get Whites up and out of poverty? Would there be black government set-asides for “those poor white folks?” Would there be sensationalism for white victims of black shooters? And so forth.

Climate change is bringing nothing if not clarity to the persistent and overlapping crises of our time.
It is obviously creating more dim-witted nutjob writers than ever before.

Oh, I get it. The missing Hot Spot is Ferguson!
No smoking hot spot 1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.

The Left has a common theme which allows them to tie such a miscellany of opinions (they invariably eschew facts) together: Removal of Freedom from the People and removal of any sense of responsibility for one’s own situation from the shiftless leeches they seem to love so well.

Horowitz said it best: the issue is never the issue. The issue is ALWAYS the Revolution.
All the Liberal/Progressive groups lock together, like a jigsaw puzzle, to create a unified whole that supports the common goal of Revolution. By that I mean Fabian Socialism, where the Revolution isn't big, violent and bloody, but rather slow and incremental so that, eventually (as I think Khrushchev once said)we all simply wake up one morning an realized that they've won and we've lost.
Pieces of the puzzle that dare to break away are dealt with quickly and as harshly as possible - to send a message to others that may try the same. Look at what happened when Susan Kolman tried to sever ties to Planned Parenthood. They were mercilessly and ruthlessly attacked to the point of unconditional surrender.
