You know, shovel-ready jobs. Noah really should live in Venezuela for a few years and get back to us.
Human activity is not causing the Earth to get warmer. As the Sun gets warmer the planets of the solar system get warmer.
The only climate change that some people should fear is the climate change they will face after their last breath on earth should they not have made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior.
Newsday, still far left and the writer is a crazy Marxist. He’s also a murderer. Look at how he murdered the English language - “it’s vanishingly unlikely”. Only a British fop or leftwing American writer would even try to use such a BS set of words to describe anything.
Book him Dano!
Some....
Many extremely wealthy people insist their less affluent fellow citizens must adopt radical lifestyle changes, and embrace punitive taxes, to ameliorate climate change. Yet not one has walked the talk by giving up private jet transportation, selling multiple grand homes to live in a single tiny zero carbon footprint home, trading gas guzzling vehicles for bicycles and public transportation, exchanging a yacht for a kayak, or buying second hand merchandise at Goodwill stores. They insist carbon taxes are needed but not one voluntarily strikes a check to the IRS to show the way. How many of them have adopted a zero impact lifestyle and lived it for successive years?
The answer of course is none. If their plans for the green economy are ever forced on the general population, they will continue to live lives of high consumption by paying our elected representatives to provide for the few special exemptions from green taxes and regulation.
I fear fascist hoax deniers curtailing my personal liberty.
Oh goody. Another over educated stupid person
Only communists care about “climate change”. Climate changes. Always has. Always will
It doesn't not even make the top 20 things the American voters want Congress and the president to deal with.
But what he correct on, is what I have been saying for years.
All only thing the climate change cult wants is your money, all of it.
And they keep doubling down on their dire need to "fix the problem" (read: We want your money and we want it now) every ten years or so, to keep the scam going ahead of the public's understanding that they're being lied to.
The cult never says what specifically they will do to "solve the problem", except we want to empty your wallets to save the planet.
Biggest scam in history.
GOD is in charge of the weather!!! TWITS! STUPID TWITS!
Stupid jerk!
Where does this money come from to 'redistibute'??
The "rich" are not going to pay for climate change solutions. They didn't become rich by giving their money away. Everyone will have to pay and as France discovered, it's easy to talk a virtuous game about solving climate change up until the cost for it is on the gas pumps, and then there's rioting in the streets.
Same thing will happen here.
Noah Smith is woefully ignorant of both science and economics.
We cannot live a carbon-free lifestyle, nor should we desire to. We are made of carbon. If the left got its way and actually started removing carbon from the atmosphere, they would be reducing the biosphere. As the carbon concentration drops, species will go extinct, deserts will grow, and the earth will warm because bare earth converts sunlight into heat far more effectively than plant covered earth.
No carbon, no life.
“Much of this could be financed with taxes on the rich, but it will take a huge amount of labor and other resources to carry out. Those resources will have to be diverted from producing other goods and services, which means prices for consumer items throughout the economy probably will rise. Those higher prices mean that most Americans will become poorer in the short term, though government redistribution can cushion the blow.”
This whole paragraph...does the radical left actually believe this to live by it or just to make everyone else to live by it.....
Something I found last night...
POPULAR SCIENCE, Feb 1980..
PS/What’s News ....page 73
Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)
“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”
“Fear” is how democrats keep their base in line...
Noah Smith, whoever he/she/it is, has to be insane.
If No Newsday went up in flames along with ahole Noah, no one would care.
Ok now.
Everyone that believes in Human Caused Global Warming, raise your hand.
Everyone with your hand raised, report to your Facilitator for carbon reassignment therapy.
