Carbon offset taxes, impact fees and numerous other taxes to fund government-controlled mass transportation where travel must be approved. A leftist dream.
People used to lightly joke about the unpredictability of the weather. Now it’s used to push Democrat control and communism. Sick people.
The climate has been changing for millions of years, but the ignorant DemonRats with IQs between stupid and brain dead just discovered it and are amazed by it.
‘Remember, there are more of us than them.’
nope, that’s wrong...it’s wrong today, and it will be doubly wrong ten years from now...
“Yet, with COVID winding down, Democrats need a new apocalypse.”
They will get a good bit more out of COVID-19. We still have variants, and the inevitable next strain, etc... to go through. They might even end up releasing something that actually kills people, though that is doubtful. They will keep climate change going in the background along with the fake alien contact thing they have brewing. Tension with both Russia and China is another obvious method. Russia and the virus will fool a good number of “conservatives”.
I think many leftists are over-estimating as to who believes the climate change crap they are trying to shove down our throats. Sure the climate changes, but they want us to think it continually gets worse & that we have to do something to change it. Of course, that “something” that would change would amount to giving over all that we own to some one who thinks they can handle it better than we do. Got news for them...our Heavenly Father already handles it better than we possibly can.
Climate change is the perfect tool to justify complete control
CO2 is not a polutant any more than O2 or H2O are polutants. All three are necessary for life. But all three can kill you in high enough quantities. e.g. drowning.
But we don’t regulate any of them in the way we are trying to regulate CO2
To get power they have basically two routes - seize power, or get people to willingly turn over control. They cannot simply seize power in the US - too obvious and too many privately owned firearms. ("There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.")
But they can use fear and emotion to try to get people to cede control. That has been their strategy for decades now. Energy crisis, coming ice age, gun control, climate change, statues, racism, covid... Think about it for a moment - we've seen a never ending stream of "crisis" that must be addressed "right now!" someone's got to "do something!"
They tried climate change before. But it was hard to stir up much sympathy for things that may or may not happen hundreds of years in the future when people are more worried about next month's mortgage.
Now maybe covid set a precedent. Yes, climate change would be the holy grail of control - a never ending, no vaccine, don't be selfish it's for the children type crisis they could ride for decades. No-doubt they'll try to revisit or revive it as a means of gaining power. Hard to say if covid has made it easier to cow people into acceptance of loss of freedoms, or harder. Are we ready to openly rebel against leftist control?
+ socialized medicine
There is NO solution proposed to fix global warming that involves MORE personal freedom.
I deduce a design.
