"One bizarre element of the leftist’s fantasy is they insist that seas are rising and will flood coastal properties. Then they buy coastal properties and complain that wind farms shouldn’t be built to block their view!"


Agree 100%! And my take on global warming anyway is: we should be grateful for it. We've been coming out of the Little Ice Age for about 2 centuries and it's been a mostly good thing just like the Medieval Warm Period was a mostly good thing coming out of the Dark Ages, and the Roman Warm Period was a mostly good thing...


Until a few decades ago, the few people interested in climate science talked about the Current Warm Trend as though it's a good time to be alive. If you recall the brief fad in the 1970's of believing in a coming cooling period -- a lot of it was fearing that life today would go back to being like life in the Little Ice Age (around 1300 to 1800) when crop yields were down, rain patterns were less predictable, and plagues greatly increased. If you think about all the atrocities in history the libs usually fuss about (before the fascism and communism they want us to emulate), a lot of it was motivated in large part with the fallout of the Little Ice Age. The European expansion into the Americas -- crop land was at a premium when what crop land you already had in Europe yielded little. The same for indigenous tribes fighting each other and sometimes wiping each other out, particularly tribes from the north trying to migrate south. The same for black nations in Africa having to switch from exporting crops to exporting slaves. Basically everybody had too many people to feed or get sick and not enough crop land to support them. I'm not saying the cooling period was 100% responsible for all of that. I'm saying it was a major factor that we often overlook because we're supposed to be conditioned that global warming is a bad thing that only the Dims can save us from.

True - but you have to remember - 'climate change' is a religion with liberal 'elites' because most of them are the average to stupid children of intelligent parents (like Kamala, the Cuomo brothers, Kennedy offspring, etc etc etc... DC private school dummies...working waaaaaay above their abilities...) So they don't want facts they want 'talking points' to make them look smart.
