You didn’t taste climate change. Words have meanings, and you don’t know them.

Two Years Before the Mast is a memoir by the American author Richard Henry Dana Jr., published in 1840, having been written after a two-year sea voyage from Boston to California on a merchant ship starting in 1834.

Excerpt:

In the middle of this crescent, directly opposite the anchoring ground, lie the mission and town of Santa Barbara, on a low, flat plain, but little above the level of the sea, covered with grass, though entirely without trees, and surrounded on three sides by an amphitheatre of mountains, which slant off to the distance of fifteen or twenty miles. The mission stands a little back of the town, and is a large building, or rather collection of buildings, in the center of which is a high tower, with a belfry of five bells; and the whole, being plastered, makes quite a show at a distance, and is the mark by which vessels come to anchor.

The town lies a little nearer to the beach- about half a mile from it- and is composed of one-story houses built of brown clay- some of them plastered- with red tiles on the roofs. I should judge that there were about an hundred of them; and in the midst of them stands the Presidio, or fort, built of the same materials, and apparently but little stronger. The town is certainly finely situated, with a bay in front, and an amphitheatre of hills behind. The only thing which diminishes its beauty is, that the hills have no large trees upon them, they having been all burnt by a great fire which swept them off about a dozen years before, and they had not yet grown up again. The fire was described to me by an inhabitant, as having been a very terrible and magnificent sight. The air of the whole valley was so heated that the people were obliged to leave the town and take up their quarters for several days upon the beach.

Global Warming/Climate Change my azz!

The fact that Global Warming advocacy caused the fires in California is the true international nightmare. The refusal to manage the forests in a humane way that prevents these kinds of infernos is the true testament to cause.

No state in the U.S. was more committed and dedicated to preventing and mitigating the supposed ravages of “climate change.” It is completely prudent and necessary to blame this kind of essay writing as the cause of dozens of deaths in California. Like so many false eco-pessimist dogmas it has the potential to kill millions.

> "...There’s no solving climate change any longer..."

HA HA HA HA HA HA

As if it could be "solved" in any sense of that word.

The arrogant stupidity of this idiot knows no bounds.

If the “warmists” are correct and the climate is always getting hotter then we should be celebrating that ice ages are a thing of the past! Rejoice!
