I was switching channels in the car a few days ago, and happened to catch a bit of a conversation between an NPR host and a “climate change expert” guest.
They were both laughing about how “We need to destroy the economy in order to save the planet.”
I kid you not. They were laughing.

25 or 30 years ago, many of journalists sympathized with the public (e.g. Mike Royko), because they had middle-class salaries like most of the public. Somewhere along the way, there was the rise of overpaid “celebrity” newscasters and newspaper journalists (e.g. NYTimes Paul Krugman). These people, with their multi-million dollar contracts are both out of touch with the public, and worse, contemptuous of the public.
Absolutely true.
To these MSM elitists, “saving the planet” is worth putting millions of Americans into abject poverty, scrounging for any food they can afford, and freezing in the winter, unable to heat their homes.
