Considering every breath we take has been breathed before by something, I guess the only thing saving us is dilution.

Just think of AOC’s constituents, all of whom are totally dependent on the very industrial farming she and her fellow communists want to “take a look at.” They’ll be the first to starve.

If they are right about AGW, we are completely screwed. We might as just well party hearty because nothing we can do will stop it, least of all mindless virtue signalling.

This will lead to Genocide.

The world has been steadily cooling for the last 9 thousand years. The recent heating is just a minor wandering of the temperatures over the steady decline.

With no coal nor oil nor nuclear power of their own, and with the coming cold wave (in a few years), this will result in famine.

Unable to farm efficiently for a large starving population will cause millions to die, specially when Russia cuts off the export of oil, since they will need all of it themselves.

Oh Noes! They are all going to die! (alarmist but true)

But it was a really good rant, and I agree. :-)

Full employment for German Lawyers. If you are going to tax or regulate some thing you first need to define it, The Greens should make the US tax code look svelte.

They won’t starve; they can always eat dirt, to quote AOC “wow, food grows out of dirt”.
Fitting demise for the ignorant Krauts.

Right, exactly. There are like 9 million people just in NYC alone. Nearly every bushel, peck and pound of food has to be industrially farmed and brought into the city. It all takes loads of energy, and it took we humans 1000s of years to make it work. The population of earth now eclipses, what, 7 billion? America at 350 million and never any mass starvation that I can think of since the days of the Pilgrims. I read that about 7000 died in the Dust Bowl, but mostly from pneumonia. 250,000 had to flee to more fertile ground. We’ve been so fortunate, so industrious, and these people want to burn it all down. They are insane.

Thanks. :-)

Just because Starbucks has a green logo, doesn’t mean it’s a green business. They should merge with Waste Management. LOL.

This virtue signaling drives me nuts. Paper straws in a plastic cup with a plastic lid. Can’t buy a 24 oz bottle of soda because it’ll make you fat, so buy two 16 oz bottles instead. I could rant for hours...

Logic is not their strong suit. Maybe I should buy some remote land and start a sex cult. :-D

“” “” Things may have changed, but Europeans laughed about
our considering Mercedes-Benz a luxury car and paying
luxury prices for it. “” “”

That is somehow dated now but MB in Germany always had a sort of image Crown Vic had in US. It is something a taxi driver or a cop or some government type would be driving. They were always available to the public and many had it for one reason or another but it was not cool to drive one. With the expansion of their model line including hatchbacks and crossovers it is somehow changing but not really by much. E-class is still the ultimately non-cool a sort of like minivan in US.
