Danny Glover on Haiti and Climate Change: We Have to Act Now
linktv.org ^ | JANUARY 13, 2010 | linktv.org

Posted on 01/14/2010 12:34:40 PM PST by Berlin_Freeper

With thoughtful insight into the devastation that struck Haiti yesterday, Link TV board member Danny Glover spoke with our friends at GRITtv today to discuss steps forward for the Haitian capital. Glover points out that in this great moment of internationalism, the U.S. has the opportunity to rebuild its relationship with Haiti, and he voices a warning that disasters like this will inevitably strike again as climate change continues.

I am not sure if climate change is being blamed or just thrown into the pot but it still comes across as absurd to be almost frantically searching for solutions to an earthquake and still have climate change on your tongue.

I must have missed that one; how, exactly, does Mann-Made Global Warming cause earthquakes?

What does the climate have to do with earthquakes?

I guess he just means that it's our duty to create a global totalitarian state in order to solve every problem in existence.

By all means, help the Haitians in their hour of dire need as soon as possible. But “climate change” has nothing to do with it. The Earth’s climate has been changing for millions of years, with or without us.

Maybe.

But he is certainly stupid enough, and racist enough for it.

I LOVED Danny Glover in Team America: World Police.

Great role. He ‘nailed it’ as they say...

I didn’t know Danny and the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz had so much in common!

Well see, it’s the government’s responsibility to stop earthquakes, all they have to do is raise taxes enough and it will stop the earthquakes.

As absurd as that sounds, Glover believes it!

“he voices a warning that disasters like this will inevitably strike again as climate change continues.”

Ignorance that defies description or comprehension; the man is to be pitied.

Agreed.

That was a “Lethal Weapon” reference, by the way. But you knew that.

Okay — this is at least as stupid as Pat Robertson’s statement — probably more so!

Climate change and earthquakes have me shaking to the core.
But what is the connection?

My feet are cold.

WHAT?!
We have to “rebuild” our image with a shithole like Haiti?

We’ve sent troops and countless relief supplies to that dung heap over the past two decades.

Enough!

What will Haiti do to rebuild its image with the US?

Nope. I didn’t.

I’m pretty much current pop-culturally ignorant.

Danny Glover is too stupid to assimilate the answer ... there is no connection since the starting premise is a lie.
