Environmentalists and Green New Deal proponents love to say we need to take care of the Earth, because “There is no Planet B.” Above all, they insist, we must eliminate fossil fuels, which they say are causing climate change worse than the all-natural ice ages, Medieval Warm Period or anything else in history.

Man’s plans come to naught.

God’s plans after he clears the decks which will happen soon, are seen in living color in Revelation Chapter 20-22. Very cool.

On the other hand, God helps those who help themselves and we are free to look for, develop and exploit new energy sources.
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?

You assume there is no planet B. You don’t know for sure one way or the other.

Reality has never mattered to the Left/Democrats.

Total dictatorial power forever. They’re just one election away.

(3) The supposed cure they say we must adopt is far worse than the climate disease they claim we have.

Worth emphasizing.

Fossil fuels are organic, all natural, and a store of perfectly aged solar energy.

” Keep fossil fuels in the ground “....
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel....

There are probably 10,000 plan ‘B’ planets out there, and within the next 100 years...we will be venturing beyond this solar system to look at these (I won’t suggest it’ll be manned expeditions).

Actually, God helps those who cannot help themselves.

To those who, like these idiots, think they can do it, God says, “OK, lemme know how that works.”

His numbers are pretty accurate. The rise of CO2 from 0.031% to 0.041% over the last 50 years has no significant effect on weather as he says. But the rise is a human influence as he admits. How much warming it actually causes is debatable and the likely answer is that it is not significant. But there is an increase in the percentage of major hurricanes versus total hurricanes even as the number of hurricanes is dropping.

Wind is an archaic abomination, and expensive as he points out, detrimental in many ways as he also points out,. Solar is a little different. It is becoming cost effective over time and can be tucked away here and there in spots like above parking lots. Solar is truly inevitable, just like the demise of fossil. The only real unknown is how soon we will have truly amazing alternatives like fusion.

“For the planet” is an excuse by liberals to gain power.

An actual article title: Can democracy survive climate change?
To face the invisible enemy, experts say there might be a need for “sweeping powers.”

“They’re just one election away.” - You are quite correct.

Econuts presume they know what Plan A is.

The Bible.

The Holy Spirit.

We don't know the day or the hour, but we do know the times and the seasons.

WHAT will happen is clearly laid out in Scripture.

WHEN is not absolutely clear, but I think I'm pretty close.

I suggest we sell all our CO2 to China and India, because in the oh-so-scientific imaginings of the Left, Chinese and Indian CO2 doesn’t seem to matter.
