Apocalypse Now?
Townhall.com ^ | March 15, 2018 | Cal Thomas

Since the beginning of recorded history there have been end of the world predictions. In recent years we have had radio preachers, politicians and scientists declare with certainty that the world would soon end, either because of our decadent lifestyle, or because of "global warming," now known as "climate change."

Responses to these Chicken Little declarations have ranged from people hiding in caves to the most recent announcement by Costco that it has a doomsday meal kit for sale. The cost is $6,000. The online listing says the kit contains 36,000 servings of food that will feed a family of four for one year.

Marc Morano's new book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change" (Regnery Publishing) is just in time to refute the argument that "climate change" will destroy all life on Earth. It is a mark of Morano's dark humor that he features as an "endorsement" of the book a comment by the liberal Daily Kos, which calls Morano "evil personified."

The book is a point-by-point takedown of the predictions of disaster made by the climate change movement, none of which have materialized, but when one is part of a cult, facts don't matter.

In the book's foreword, the late John Coleman, who was a meteorologist, TV weatherman and co-founder of The Weather Channel, writes: "We meteorologists are well aware of how limited our ability is to predict the weather. Our predictions become dramatically less reliable as they extend into the future. When we try to predict just a few weeks into the future our predictions become increasingly inaccurate. Yet the 'climate change' establishment that now dominates the UN bureaucracy and our own government science establishment claim that they can predict the temperature of the Earth decades into the future."

Coleman then gets to the heart of the issue: "Their global warming scare is not driven by science; it is now being driven by politics. So today anybody who defies the prevailing 'climate change' scare puts his career and his reputation into extreme danger."

Among the facts revealed in Morano's book are these: The world spends $1 billion a day to "prevent" global warming; A UN scientist says the "97 percent consensus" on global warming was "pulled from thin air," presumably hot air from many politicians; scientific organizations claim climate change 'consensus,' but have not polled their members; climate policies are not helping, but "crushing the world's poor"; The Paris climate accord theoretically postpones global warming by just four years, but will cost $100 trillion if fully implemented; climate change has been blamed for prostitution, barroom brawls, airplane turbulence and war; one climate activist is quoted as saying we should "protect our kids by not having them"; recent "hottest year" claims are based on statistically meaningless year-to-year differences; Antarctica is actually gaining, not losing ice; carbon dioxide levels today are 10 times lower than in some past Ice Ages.

Morano argues that the debate over climate change is not settled, as many claim. Science is never settled and apparently neither is the politics of climate change, which is being advanced by people who want more control over every aspect of our lives.

Real scientists who specialize in climate and related fields are quoted in the book. These are voices we rarely, if ever, see mentioned in the mainstream media because the media are part of the collusion.

Read this book and you will become an informed climate change denier, armed with arguments and facts to counter the propaganda being pushed by climate change fanatics. It will also save you $6,000 the next time you visit Costco.

Did anyone else do the math on this? More than 24 servings a day per person? I'm still on my first cup of coffee so maybe I'm way off...

Probably not much to a “serving”.

Too early for math, but most of that survival food stuff considers a “serving” to be about 100 calories.

But, why would Al Gore lie to us. Look at how he lives at a bare subsistence level in preparation.

Might want to spend the $6k.

The cooling will start within the advertised shelf-life of the product, and when it does, worldwide food production will drop substantially.

To be fair, they did not mention leftovers...

36,000 / 365 = 98.63.

98.63 / 4 = 24.6575.

Unless, as it's mentioned above in post 5, that a serving is considered to be 100 calories (giving you 2,465 calories in a day), then the numbers are really funky.

An apocalypse a week keeps the public afraid and meek.

You can make a lot of the kind of dough you cannot eat off of it however.

Yes. I have read several reports of ice core analysis that suggest that an ice age can start in just a couple of hundred years or even a couple of decades. That’s the really scary climate change, not the one where farmers can grow bananas in Arkansas.

The 100 calorie comment is way off! At least 10 times that.

He's a liberal. All liberals lie. They can't help it. It comes natural to them.

Now you know why he would lie to us,

Check the link in Post 10. It says 2,400 calories per person per day on average. So, the 100 calories per serving (suggested in post 5) on 36,000 servings would be correct.

36,000 servings times 100 calories per = 3,600,000 calories.

3,600,000 / 365 days = 9,863 calories/day.

9,863 calories / 4 people = 2,465 calories per day per person. So they are considering a serving as 100 calories.

Sorry, the link says 2,000 calories per day on average (based on four people), not 2,465. My numbers come out to 2,465 per day per person based on 4 people for one year.

Sometimes the onset is obvious after only a couple of years:
