A long winded version of saying “go Alinsky on their butts.”

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

..Like universal healthcare, it's key to their mission to grab control of people's lives. The idiot far left, many of whom hung around some college campus most of their lives, actually think they would do a better job of running businesses and manufacturing. Global communism is what they seek.

bttt!

Do you think I would be embarrassed being ridiculed and attacked by the flat earth society? Or how about the people wearing tinfoil hats? Global Warming falls into this category. I LAUGH AT AND REDUCULE these people...(not the other way around).

Me too. However the Left has been pushing this non stop in schools, in the media and politically since the first panda bears started popping up on yogurt cups back in the 70s - a non-stop drumbeat that has influenced (knee jerk) a lot of people. So much so, that companies now eagerly use it as an effective marketing ploy for low information consumers - despite the fact that this assault on energy has driven up costs for everything.

When Public Schools quit teaching natural science and started teaching politically correct science, the seed was planted that would sprout the huge tree that has become the Climate Change farce.

The key to it all was to completely “gut” all real science from the public educational system and replace it with fake science designed TO SCARE the timid, weak and ignorant.

Look how well the plan has turned out? We have two generations of students that progressively learned less and less real science and now pass that on to their own children.

You are correct and “State of Fear” is the game plan.

That’s the strategy that climate hawks must mimic: aggressively attack Republicans who deny the science of climate change or say we should do nothing about the problem.

This is the problem: scientific illiteracy and the lack of intellectual rigor and iron self-principles.

Bullying like the author suggests is futile against someone with a hard science degree who knows the fraud that is "climate change".

If people change their positions based on political self-interest, then they get what they deserve.

But merely knocking down others’ arguments is insufficient when they are trying to solve a real problem.

I agree, that doesn't work because advocates of the "climate change" scam cannot refute our arguments.

It is telling that that the author lets a little truth slip through though. The "real" problem isn't climate change, it is not getting their way, not getting the power they crave.

Here is my answer: Environmentalists and Democrats should beat climate science deniers over the head with aggressive attacks until they realize it is in their interest to back climate action.

So much for doing the right thing, or actually being based on science. Nope. None of that. Just personally attack them into doing what they perceive is in their best interests rather than what is best for the people who elected them. Says a heck of a lot about the liberal-fascist mindset. Apparently they see retreating to self-interest as a common thing. They will fail because unlike the liberal-fascists, we have integrity.

...look at how Republicans behave. Appeals to their sense of moral obligation to protect people or the environment always fail, as do arguments based mainly on conservative intellectual principles.

Of course they do, because when you look at the facts, "climate change" is nothing but a scam. It is one huge power grab.

The “science deniers” are persistent in their quest for world-wide socialism.

Ben Adler says, "Always defer to politics and ignore science, the Constitution and common scense. That way you can control the __Federal (Campaign-fund) Treasury(TM)__ and buy more votes."

Well if that is all it would do - be redundant- then what would be the purpose in ratifying it?

The misguided and misbegotten "Americans with Disabilities Act" is a mere act of Congress ... it can be modified or repealed by a mere majority vote of Congress and a Presidential signature. Treaties can be more difficult to deal with.

And, they, with only academic credentials to show for such hubris and stupidity.

Kinda like the 1917 Marxists who over-threw the Russian Czarists (who, BTW, were already weak and ripe for ^hope and change^) to champion !!THE WORKERS!! who provided the industrial production (albeit according to the savvy financial decisions of the proletariat managers) I.E. no profit, no job, comrade!. They soon found THAT out, didn’t they?

Oh...never mind...that is too much history for the common man to understand.
Here, have a cuppala-shots-a-wodka, comrade.

(the above is tongue-in-cheek...somewhat)

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Virtually every Democrat in Congress voted for the PATRIOT Act.

....which is surprising, because normally empowering the goobermint at their employers' expense is what you'd expect from Republicans! [eyeroll] Not really making his point with that one.

All the “climate action” in the world is not going to affect the global climate by a single degree.
