How Fowl! NYT Writer Relays Inaugural Plea from Birds: Trump Spells Doom for Climate Change
NewsBusters ^ | 1/20/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

A New York Times writer is using birds to wokescold the American electorate for turning the dial back on climate change progress by inaugurating President Donald Trump.

Siri, define birdbrain.

“On a Cold, Dark Inauguration Day, a Message From the Birds,” read the headline of Times contributing writer Margaret Renkl’s wacky January 20 guest essay. After seven paragraphs of mindless babbling about the symbolism of birds, Renkl then took to crying “fowl” over the incoming Trump administration. “At the dawn of a year that seems almost certain to make this country into an unrecognizable place, to make this world even less hospitable to birds and everybody else, it turns out I am less interested in symbolic associations than in practicalities,” Renkl whined. Uh, what? [Emphasis added.]

No such thing as “climate change.”

It’s a scam.

MAGA makes her fearful and gloomy.

Nuff said.

I guess this fruitcake thinks windmills are great for the environment - and for birds...

What does “climate change” even mean?

That we used to have the same weather every single day before we started driving ICE vehicles?

my personal perspective on “Climate change” is “IF it’s true that the EARTH belongs to all of us then I WANT MY FAIR SHARE!” L.Star

Oh, so now the green leftists want to make the world more “hospitable for birds”?

Fine. Then get rid of your abominable wind farms!! Start there!

The birds would do better to avoid wind turbines. Woke “green energy” policies have killed more birds than any imaginary climate change.

Because nothing says “We love birds” more than putting a bunch of giant rotating meat grinders in their flight paths.

If climate change indeed is doomed as the headline suggests, then we are all safe. Another Trump win!
