Quick take-away:

Your cotton blue jeans use too much water to grow the cotton!

Ordering on line is OK, as long as you responsibly deal with the packaging materials, which you probably won't, so you suck!

Streaming movies and your internet use watching Cat Videos on You-Tube is bad! You are evil! You are a Climate Change Denier and you're making poor people suffer!

"And there are people and corporations who are responsible, such as the climate change deniers in Congress and the fossil fuel companies, for the most part."

"A lower-carbon society would be a more just society."

“A lower-carbon society would be a more just society.”

What she probably meant to say was, ‘An Armed Society is a Polite Society.’

Turning cotton into a pair of jeans can use up to an additional 2,900 gallons of water.

This airhead seems to think that water used for irrigation drains to the center of the earth and disappears forever.

The education system has failed us - by design, of course.

But hey, I bet she knows which bathroom to use!
... or maybe not.

"“We shouldn’t feel individually guilty about climate change and how our actions may have contributed to it,”"

Phew! Thank you!

I was really worried about that this morning.

No use to try and talk to these people. The one and ONLY solution to these people and their democrat friends is what was done in old England to people like that.

The axe or what was done to traitors.

says environmental reporter Tatiana Schlossberg. “But we should feel collectively responsible for building a better world.”

Your version or mine, Tatiana? Hmmmmm?

She should’ve addressed how electric cars use electricity from those power plants powered by fossil fuels.

I haven’t moved to guilt yet.

They mean CO2, not carbon, but they are stupid, so it doesn’t matter.

Carbon enters into complex chemical combination with many other elements, and those are at the basis of any living organism. Eliminate carbon and we’re dead. Or is that what they want?

It’s all about taking money from us and giving it to indigent indolents. It’s not about the climate.

Yep! My well pumps water out of an aquifer and the water we use either drains right back into the soil (and then back into the aquifer) or from the septic tank to the leach field and then back into the soil.

I'd call that pretty efficient...

Life on Earth is carbon based. Really, these climate change worshippers simply are self-hating humans.

A carbon-based life-form who hates carbon. Seriously?

Yeah, I kind like living in reality. Guilt just sounds like a lousy place to live.

".... This airhead seems to think that water used for irrigation drains to the center of the earth and disappears forever...."

Exactly. Water is naturally recycled in the earth. It doesn't just disappear after those denim jeans are made.

We don't have irrigation on our cattle farm. We rely on rainwater to water the grass in the pastures for the cows to eat.

The rain water sinks into the earth, replenishing the aquifers. We have a low spot on our property were the water table surfaces after heavy rains. Sometimes it's dry and sometimes it's the size of a pond.

Water on the surface, evaporates and forms the water vapor which we call humidity. It eventually forms clouds again which drop more rain.

Climate change wackos think the climate is a zero sum game. It's not. It's all part of the natural cycle of the earth.
