Global warming activists won’t be satisfied until the Earth freezes over and nothing survives.
They relentlessly use obnoxious pictures of polar bears floating on melting sea ice to guilt people into believing we’re to blame. They chose the wrong animal as their “poster child.” Polar bears aren’t cuddly little snowballs who sip on colas all day and use a hunting rifle to compassionately put their prey out of misery when it’s snack time. Instead, polar bears use ambush tactics and sharp claws and teeth to feast on cute little seals they sometimes eat alive while kicking and screaming. They also snack on whales activists claim they want to save.
Watching former Vice President Al Gore waddle his way around Trump Tower the other day reminded me about how long this guilting’s been going on. For decades now, we’ve been told that computer models predict that a catastrophic ice-free Arctic Ocean is around the bend. In 2009, Gore said some computer models suggest “there is a 75 percent chance that the entire North Polar ice cap during some of the summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.”
Umm, didn’t happen. It seems the computer models were 75 percent incorrect. Maybe they were the same ones used to predict Brexit and the 2016 presidential election. Whatever the case, we’re told it’s “settled science.” I thought scientists were skeptics who settled on the idea that true science is never settled.

For those that prefer ads with their articles:
The question should be: “do you believe in global warming enough to be willing to pay a lot more for everything that you purchase?”
Are you willing to pay a lot more to heat your house, fill your gas tank, for food, ... for that new Iphone... everything.
Energy is the life blood of our economy. Tax it and you tax everything. EVERYTHING!
Whether global warming or global cooling or ocean acidification or rainforest loss (we’ll all suffocate), socialists won’t let go of “for the planet” because it justifies any larger government program on a trans-national basis. It is better for them than “for the children” since the children might grow up to have other opinions and doesn’t carry weight with those that don’t care about kids.
Polar bears are the wrong animal to use as a mascot of species extinction due to any cause let alone “Climate Change” because of all the mega fauna around the world, polar bears will be the only ones that still exists in their original range in their original numbers for the simple reason that the human population does not want to live where the bears live.
