He’s worse than a pansy. He’s an idiot too. The funny thing is, they could get me on their side by being against pollution. I get that. Nobody likes pollution. But this global warming thing is crap. They had to change the name to climate change because there isn’t warming.
There are a new billion people showing up every ten years. So its reasonable to say that we need to be more efficient about the way we dispose of stuff. And that’s why we need to worry about things that really matter. DDTs in our lakes, or radio active materials in rivers, or lead in drinking water. If we are worried about carbon dioxide we are taking away resources that can solve real problems.
It isn’t about any of that stuff anyway.
It is about power and control, pure and simple.
"The funny thing is, they could get me on their side by being against pollution."
This is the thing here. It's all of this alarmist crap that's turning off the population. The most recent poll of millennials says that they are turning toward the climate change religion, but only because they're still young and gullible.
Back in the 70s, the roadsides were trash heaps. My father would just roll the window down and toss his McDonald's bag out the window. Now days, the medians and roadsides are mostly clean. Why? Because there was a campaign to convince folks that it was just the right thing to do to clean up after ourselves. They plastered the Indian-with-the-tear ad all over the place and people listened. Not because they were worried about some imaginary cataclysmic ending to the world...
...but because it was just the right thing to do.
