Forget 'Climate Change' -- Now It's 'Climate Restoration'

In the end, somehow we knew it would come to this. The Left, in the form of the think thank RAND, has gone full Luddite:

Since the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, society has organized efforts to limit the magnitude of climate change around the concept of stabilization — that is, accepting some climate change but holding it within acceptable bounds. This report offers an initial exploration of the concept of climate restoration — that is, approaches that seek to return atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases to preindustrial levels within one to two generations. Using a simple integrated assessment model, the analysis examines climate restoration through the lens of risk management under conditions of deep uncertainty, exploring the technology, economic, and policy conditions under which it might be possible to achieve various climate restoration goals and the conditions under which society might be better off with (rather than without) a climate restoration goal. This report also explores near-term actions that might help manage the risks of climate restoration.

Get on it, Lefties, restore rain to SoCal. Come on, we’re waiting.

(And after Climate Restoration, I’m sure we will get Climate Identification where one climate “feels like” a different climate so identifies as such. You know that is coming. Climate Orientation, Climate Curious.)

At least this is something we can accomplish. Do you want to “restore” the climate back to what it was100 years ago? Well ... we’re already there. Through global cooling, global warming, and climate change, nothing ever happened.

It is politically unacceptable to the global warming cultists to state tgat China pollutes.
The cultists grew up watching Ted Turner’s communist youth indoctrination cartoon “Captain Planet” where the chinese kid portrayed China as being the absolute smartest nation in regards to the environment while the American kid portrayed Americans as stupid.

And modern “liberalism” swallows up whatever claim to “liberality” it had.

Hey where did the old “sweat for the team” spirit go? Let um die in Bangladesh so we don’t have to move north ourselves! If there’s even a thing to these fears in the first place.

Satanic.

“The screams about highest temperature yet are about hundredths of a degree, and this is tendentiously “adjusted” to be that much even.”

And what is the margin of error on those measurements?

The biggest one is probably between “climate scientists’” ears.

Too much is being claimed for this pursuit to deserve being called a science.

Eventually, the environuts will call for the extermination of the human race as penance for the sins we have committed against the Goddess Gaia.

We still have no control over the levels of water vapor in the atmosphere.

Climate disruption fizzled out rather quickly.

What ever happened to the Ozone Hole?? It is gone, a MIRACLE

China smog has even made the liberal press here.

At least one smog day a year in LA is blamed on the Chinese.

...accepting some climate change but holding it within acceptable bounds.

Defeat and victory at the same time!

The climate DOES change - we know that from historical records - but I'm not convinced man's puny efforts have anything to do with it.

So now the idea is to ACCEPT it, and to MANAGE it (acceptable bounds). They can claim victory, since they establish the "acceptable bounds" when the climate changes (which it was going to do anyway).

Hooray, we saved the Earth, even though we actually did nothing...

Reminds me of a movie where after the hero slays the dragon, the King shows up with sword in hand, stands on the carcass and claims victory.

The ozone hole has served its purpose now that Freon has been banned.

I know.
However, they will still insist that china is environmentally smarter.
It comes from the liberal delusion of “communism = good”.

Restoration, a/k/a Justice.

“Climate Justice.”

The geological evidence shows us that the vary nature of climate is constant flux. Attempting to stop it unnatural. Pollution control on the other hand is just good housekeeping. The problem is in preventing good housekeeping from turning into Green Tyranny in the hands of overly ambitious vested interests.

Climate restoration advocates should do their personal share to restore the climate by turning their heating and air conditioning off and leaving their doors and windows open.

I can do it for half the price, and guarantee the exact same results.
