Editorial: Responsibility for global warming is in our hands
The Virginian-Pilot ^ | November 26, 2017 | Virginian-Pilot Editorial Board

Posted on 11/26/2017 4:38:28 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

EARLIER THIS month, 13 federal agencies released an exhaustive assessment of the country’s climate, concluding that Americans are now living in the “warmest period in the history of modern civilization.”

The warming of the Earth, particularly if it accelerates, will raise sea levels dramatically, with catastrophic consequences for coastal communities such as Hampton Roads.

Perhaps most striking about this report aren’t the conclusions, though they are particularly dire. They echo much of the climate science already available to the public, though the extrapolated effects listed here are deeply alarming.

Rather, it’s that the scientists who authored this report were clear to blame human behavior for a slowly warming Earth — and did so with the apparent approval of the Trump administration, even as the White House takes great pains to belittle that conclusion.

The best hope — the only hope — is to take action now. And while President Trump was willing to sign off on this report, he appears comfortable ignoring the implications of inaction — despite the likelihood of disaster and widespread misery.

The report, as it stands, paints a cataclysmic picture and, per approval by his administration, has Trump’s implicit agreement. To ignore these conclusions now represents malfeasance of the highest order, and would condemn the United States to an environmental tailspin from which it will never recover.

13 federal agencies, all of whom stand to see their huge budgets and staffing levels hold steady or, more likely, vastly increase as they ‘fight’ this chimera.

This paper is owned by Landmark Media. Bet Ladmark’s CEO puts out quite the carbon footprint.

Note to the VP’s editorial board: Y’all might wanna have a chat with your owner before you start preaching to the rest of us.

Seas are not rising. No temperature difference...within average for last 100 years. The sun is 99.9% the cause of all temperature variation.

America is under attack by the one worlders. This includes republicans as well as democrats

Global Warming is all about funding government agencies and funding the coffers of the university grants system.

and those 13 federal agencies, more appropriately should have their staffing levels greatly reduced, if not eliminated entirely.

Humans can't even keep a steady 65 MPH on a highway without setting cruise control. With that, the AGW clan wants humans to control something that is more than 99.999% not in human control. Imagine if humans actually did have such powers.

Editorial: Responsibility for global warming is in our hands

The responsibility for the MYTH of man-made global warming is in the hands of one-world-order, global governance, Marxists. The responsibility for the propagation of the LIES surrounding this scheme to usher in a one-world government is in the hands of far left activists in environmentalist sciences, public schools, music and film industry, other forms of pop culture, and mainstream snooze media.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Global warming started 22,000 years ago. It brought us out of the ice age and melted the great glacier that was over the land.

The glacier was so thick, a mile of ice was over what today is New York. There was so much ice, that the ocean was 400 feet below where it is today.

I’m still working on the leprechaun and unicorn infestations. I’ll let you know when we’ve got a handle on those.
