BUNK: TIME’s Suggestion for U.S. Inflation Fight? ‘Tackle Climate Change’
NewsBusters ^ | 2/8/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 02/08/2022 9:14:00 AM PST by JV3MRC

The eco doom-mongering TIME magazine virtue-signaled that the U.S. needs to fight climate change if it's serious about fighting inflation. Really.

The rag published a bonkers Feb. 3 article headlined, “If the U.S. Wants to Fully Tackle Inflation, It Needs to Tackle Climate Change.” After blaming consumers in part for driving the worst inflation seen in nearly 40 years, along with supply shortages caused by the COVID-19 lockdowns, the magazine started babbling nonsense. “[B]eneath the headlines economists say that extreme weather events tied to climate change are also contributing to inflation. Across the world, climate-linked disasters have killed crops, disrupted energy supplies, and crippled transportation lines. Economists say that this reality will only worsen as the planet warms.” The magazine has a long, sad history of trying to push end-of-the-world narratives and tying climate change to unrelated issues like inflation. TIME looks like it’s trying to live up to the propaganda it pushed in April 2021: “Climate Is Everything.”

A common liberal tactic. Take any problem and choose any liberal cause as the solution, no matter how unrelated the problem and proposed solution may be.

It’s always the same two or three solutions involving white supremacists, global climate change, or X in relation to Y chromosomes.

Who relies on TIME magazine for anything of importance?

Weird. You’d think Gaia would have been way more pissed off under the eco-terrorist Orange Man. How come the inflation’s only kicking up now?

Stupid liberals, no matter what the question/problem is, the answer is always more goobermint.

Whenever the Dims "tackle climate change" the end result is always more inflation because all they do is jack up the costs of energy trying to snort their tinkerbell fairy dust.

The main reason I put solar panels onto my house was to free me up from some of the sky high energy costs the Dims put onto us.

I’d say burning a billion dollars would have the same effect with less effort, but that might outrage some climate freaks. Maybe shredding and mulching the bills?

You can always count of leftists to come up with the absolute wrong answer to anything, which is more government, of course.
