Per Manbearpig, we already dead.
In 1979, it was the year 2000...
Because COVID fear is waning ... we need a new “emergency.”
In their twisted, warped minds — and I use that term loosely — it’s “the way to go” to get it done.
They have been making these predictions since the first Earth Day in 1970.
Back then we had real pollution problems. The river in Cleveland had recently caught on fire. Coal fired power plants in OH & PA put out so much Sulfur that there were lakes in the Adirondacks with no fish in them.
Not long after that we all got to learn about Love Canal(chemical dump land fill) in Niagara Falls, NY and Libby, MT(asbestos mine).
There were hundreds of EPA Superfund cleanup sites over the next 30 years. Including a couple within 10 miles of where I type this in southern NH.
Somewhere around 2000 they ran out of things to clean up. Then all the big brains at the ERF Day celebration could come up with was to put a brick in your toilet to save water, the planet and the whales.
How about dropping a few, fatsos?
They are not very bright.
I vote in favor of them setting themselves ablaze. That or another means of them demonstrating they care so much they’re willing to stop contributing to releasing noxious exhalations to save muvver erf. 😵🔥
No matter what laws are passed, actions taken, and sacrifices made, we will be told it isn’t enough and the situation is worse than ever.
Air pollution and climate change are 2 different issues.
The “acid rain” issue was debatable.
“But the NAPAP showed many of these lakes were acidic and fishless even before European settlement in America
Fish survived better in these lakes around 1900 because of extensive slash and burn logging in the area. The soil became more alkaline as the acid vegetation was removed, reducing the acid flowing into the lakes and making the water hospitable to fish. Logging stopped in 1915, acid soils and vegetation returned and the lakes became acidic again...
The NAPAP reported in 1990. The findings were explosive: first, acid rain had not injured forests or crops in US or Canada; second, acid rain had no observable effect on human health; third, only a small number of lakes had been acidified by acid rain and these could be rehabilitated by adding lime to the water. In summary, acid rain was a nuisance, not a catastrophe”
“Climate activist Fred Ward says more direct climate actions will happen if ‘there’s political gridlock and all the ordinary processes aren’t working’.”
Someone needs to take Fred Ward out and beat the living crap out of him. And do the same to any of his acolytes who are spending their days slashing tires and destroying property. And after that make a citizens arrest and have these morons sit in a cage for a few hours pondering their bleak futures.
Sounds like a threat?
Or,maybe it’s just a “hoax”
Hoaxes are not a crime as per HClownton.
This is cult like behavior. These people need to find some other way to make themselves feel important.
If they follow through with plans to walk around slashing SUV tires in order to ‘save the planet’, then they are getting close to being Domestic Terrorists. Groups such as Earth First used to be putting spikes in trees to injure lumberjacks.The public is going to start taking matters into their own hands or holsters if this gets much worse.
Thanks for correcting my acid rain statement. I always thought it was just another “the sky is falling” statement by enviro wackos.
They made a big deal about it when I was at SUNY ESF Syracuse back in the mid 80s.
Probably similar to claim that fracking causing ground water to be polluted in NYS. Therefore, Cuomo banned fracking statewide.
This calls for an HL Mencken quote…
There will be no ice in the Arctic by 2016. That’s from the most accurate forecasting models.
Watermelons...Green on the outside, red on the inside.
Ti think there was an issue with acid rain, but notmto,the extent they tried to make it. It definitely was a scare tactic that they b,ew put of proportions. There is also the mercury issue in the Adirondacks that I think is prevalent there too- i know theynhave warnings out about olny eating one fish a month or something like that. There is debate about that issue too.
If it’s not one scare tactic it’s another with the left.

The mercury would then get concentrated in the apex predators in the lake. Steelhead/Lake trout/Salmon. Many of those fish spawned up in the Salmon River flowing out of the Adirondacks.
