Then Oster proves the point that Climate Change is NOT brought about by people, but is actually something that happens naturally on a living planet.
So I guess that “Global Warming” produced the Moonbats and not the other way around.
Yes! It’s about time someone noticed the connection between climage change and witch hysteria.
Climate change caused the crucifixian of Christ, you know.
In order to save themselves from severe punishment, they concocted the hysteria and they sold it to the community, who by the way also hated some of the accused women because they were becoming the new important people, the girls sold it to the Courts, who possibly also needed notoriety.
The pastor played it up to the hilt to protect his own daughter. He knew the truth.
That was in MASS? Sounds like the beginning of the Democratic party. GET CAUGHT DOING BAD, BLAME OTHERS. MASS. is still a mess.
The Salem witch thing was so minor it should be nothing more than a footnote. Go back another hundred years in England for the witch burnings, a much wider scale thing.

“Global warming causes earthquakes, typhoons, water spouts, tsunamis, nuclear power plant meltdowns, tornados, cooler weather.”
“And especially—witches.”
Which hysteria?
500 years later and not much has changed. Most of the Democrats party strategy in little more that modern witch hunts.
In fact, most of the leadership of the Democrat Party are characters right out of the Vincent Price movie - Conqueror Worm.
The way Democrats treat Republican women....
One of my ancestors was burned at the stake. All her descendants know that they wanted all her properties. Her husband fled north into present-day New Hampshire, but they went there and tracked him down, dragged him back to Mass. and burned him up, too, and thus got all their properties.
[Similar to `Share the Wealth` BS from Obummer, but was `Take the Wealth`]
Dunking suspected witches in water caused the ocean level to rise.
I thought it was an unusually cold period - maybe the ponds were frozen and they couldn’t do the dunk test. “What do we do now?”

Thank you very much for clearing up this piece of history. For all of my life I thought the Salem Witch Trials were Bush’s fault.
Pretty clear,concise summing up of the Salem witch trials. I am a decendent if Rebecca Nurse, one of three sisters caught up in the hysteria. Rebecca was hung, the second sister died in prison, if my memory serves, and the third was released at the end only to die a few months later from the effects of her imprisonment. Pretty ugly time in New England.
I don’t recall any burnings in Salem village. Hangings and one pressed to death is all I have ever read about. Where did the burnings occure?
A couple of my ancestors and their neighbors signed a document attesting to the innocence of Rebecca Nurse. The Nurse family placed a memorial stone in the family cemetery at the Nurse residence listing the names of the people who came to her defense.
The sister that lived was Sarah. There is a movie about her story "Three Sovereigns for Sarah" starring Vanessa Redgrave. Find the movie and learn her story, it seems she was hid until this hysteria foolishness was all over. The English Crown gave Sarah three sovereigns, one for each sister and for herself.
Then of course all the Trial information and text of all testimonies are online. Have you visited the Nurse homestead in Danvers yet? Beautiful old home and in very good shape. I had the priviledge of seeing it several years ago.
I suppose you also know that all the films about the Trials are filmed on the Rebecca Nurse homesite. The newest "The Crucible", is a good source to view the place, although that version tells some more lies.
