I know lots of rich people. Many of the rich have no discernment whatsoever. The are totally in and of this world. They are obsessed with earthly trinkets and desire the approval of men, especially the right men, the elites. They would do or say anything to hold on to their wealth and their status. Even if they know better it’s easier to play along than to risk the social and potential business ostracism that would come from disagreeing with P.C. orthodoxy. They live for today, not in light of eternity.
Climate “science” uses ginned up models that were false to begin with and never took the hockey stick climb that was prophesied 20 years ago.
>>Set in a distant future, the Earth has been devastated by global warming and is, for the most part, dry and desert-like. Water is so scarce it has become the only meaningful currency. The Eastern and Western cultural differences that we have today are long gone, or vaguely merged perhaps. Merged not through any new age of tolerance or understanding, but because simply surviving is difficult enough. No one has cared for a very long time about whose God is best, or has any memory of a book, any book, that would claim to guide us in how we should live, love and die. This is a savage, hostile world, filled with tribal societies and brutal characters, themselves as savage and hostile as the world they live in.
So a bit of Mad Max then?
>> In the forming of these ideas I had watched a number of documentaries that moved and frightened me in equal measure, the Al Gore film An Inconvenient Truth hitting home particularly hard.
The discredited film?
>>Either way, it coincidentally had a real world relevance to what I was writing. What had started out as an almost silly, fantasy look into the future, suddenly started to become a vague possibility.
So his paranoid fears (after 40 years of such sci-fi post-apocalyptic fantasy) suddenly because vaguely possible in his mind, and moreso bankable if he tied it to Trump.
His top 40 goes beyond Cars. He’s had a few in the US.
I’ve been a fan of him, yet not his politics. There was a period in his career that is as dry as this “future earthscape” that he describes.
Whenever some idiot talks about global deserts because of global warming (Fiction based on fiction) no one ever thinks “Where did the water go?!”
Idiots. But I like the warddrobe in the new video.
Gary calls himself a new immigrant to the United States (said he couldn’t vote in 2016).
So I looked a little and found this:

Gary Numan moving to U.S. after riot

FIRST POSTED: SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 2011 12:32 AM EDT
New wave music giant Gary Numan is planning to emigrate to America after watching the devastating riots unfold in his native Britain earlier this month.
The civil unrest, which began in London after a police shooting, spread across the country as thugs attacked city centres, smashing windows, looting shops and setting buildings on fire.
The singer, famous for the synth-pop hit Cars, was disgusted by the violence and admits seeing the news coverage of the events was the final push he needed to finalize his plans to emigrate to the U.S.
He filed official papers last week and he’s looking forward to a new life in California with his wife Gemma and their three daughters if their application is approved.
Numan tells Britain’s Daily Record, “We are trying to emigrate to America. We will know within the next month if we are successful.
“The other day my wife was walking down the High Street and a bunch of kids between 12 and 14 were telling her what they would like to do to her. She had my children with her. You’ve got to be kidding.
“Every village and town in England has a bunch of thugs running around in it. The riots were the nail in the coffin. I have been sitting on the application for the last two months, asking Gemma if she is absolutely sure because once it is done, it’s done forever. The day after the riots, I got onto the lawyer and said, ‘let’s do it - get on with it’. I do love being English and I am not anti the country but I have got to think of the children.
“America clearly has its own problems, but Santa Monica is great. It has beautiful beaches and the Pacific ocean. There is not one bit of trouble and not one surly or aggressive person there. Everyone is friendly. You ask the teenagers there for directions and they are polite and helpful. Do that here and you are as likely to get stabbed as you are to get directions. The fact is the English are pretty miserable.”

Mark Duggan, the man who lived by the gun: Arms draped around two violent gangsters, the thug whose death sparked riots - but who his family insist was a peacemaker
The 29-year-old was one of the most violent gangsters in Europe – and linked to ten shootings and two murders
Mark Duggan was repeatedly arrested over a raft of serious crimes, including murder, attempted murder and a range of firearms offences
Duggan was also a senior member of The Star Gang, an off-shoot of TMD
Global deserts
No oceans?
No rainstorms?
No snow?
No plants?
No oxygen to breath?
All because it got warmer?
But tribes survive to harsh it out for what water remains (as a commodity tracked as currency).
The only thing people care less about than Randy Numan’s music is what inspired him to write it.
Randy, who are you trying to convince with this tirade? Do you have a target audience in mind, or, are you just throwing spitballs, hoping they’ll stick somewhere?
You’re a nobody, a has-been, and your opinion has no weight, power, or credence, with ANYONE.
Not Randy Newman.
GARY Numan.
WAY different people.
One looks like a goth vampire, the other looks like a creepy uncle.
One of the pluses of AGW is that the true believers stay up at night worrying and obsessing over it. AGW being a non existent problem we over here sleep soundly at least on this issue.
The guy had one hit in 1980. His opinion is as relevant as a fart in the wind.
>>>The interior of the planet is thousands of degrees<<<
Al Gore disagrees, it’s MILLIONS OF DEGREES!
CARS was one of those songs you mimicked and made fun of. It really wasn’t taken like some serious musical Endeavor it was a pop tune and it lasted on the charts about a minute
Oops.
I’m not a fan of Bowie. But I just listened to this song and reminded myself of why.
What a terrible song, from a terrible singer. Bowie was a neat guy, but just a horrible musician.
