'Earth is letting us know that something is not right' NAACP discusses climate change (tr)

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The whacky weather we've had lately is what some consider a major sign from Earth.

"Our Earth is basically letting us know that something is not right," said Denise Abdul-Rahman.

With Earth Day just days away, the Greater Terre Haute NAACP discussed climate change and ways to combat it.

Abdul-Rahman is the NAACP Indiana Environmental & Climate Justice Chair.

"What is occurring is that as we put out greenhouse gases, or what are called CO2 or carbon pollution, into our atmosphere, it is warming the temperatures," she said, "and those temperatures are melting our glaciers and causing flooding."

"Also because the temperature is getting hotter, it's making us experience drought and hotter climate temperatures," she continued, "and it also has a way of creating what's called a Polar Vortex, which we're starting to see with weather patterns that are unusual than normal."

That's why in light of Earth Day on April 22nd, groups like the NAACP hope you'll look into ways to help preserve the planet.

"Come Earth Day, April 22nd, everybody turn off their lights for a substantial amount of time to save energy," she said, "That way your power company will not have to use greenhouse gases in order to energize your home."

Abdul-Rahman also suggests picking up trash in your community, along with planting trees as they release Oxygen into the air, as well as cutting down on transportation.

"You can walk and carpool, catch the bus because automobiles put out emissions that impact the climate," she said, "and we can be less wasteful because as we use waste, it gets burned in incinerators, and that goes into our atmosphere and impacts our ozone."

I bet none of these jerks know the per cent CO2 in the atmosphere at sea level.

Wouldn’t their time be better spent changing their name to NAAPOC?

It all part of the crypto-Marxist clown show that is the Political Left in US/Europe these days.

She’s spouting every bit of nonsense propaganda she can think of. Let me guess, she’ll somehow tie this with the need for black reparations?

Wtf does this have to do with social justice? Or the advancement of colored people?

I also bet they don’t know that it’s heavier than air, which is a very important property and kills the argument that CO2 is causing “climate change”.

Who’s surprised that pushers of anthropomorphic “climate change” are also ignorant screaming racists?

“Also because the temperature is getting hotter, it’s making us experience drought and hotter climate temperatures,” she continued, “and it also has a way of creating what’s called a Polar Vortex, which we’re starting to see with weather patterns that are unusual than normal.”

She just provided another data point confirming the “Bell Curve”.

Here we go, now that liberals have their expandable militant idiots without a degree by the balls, they march them for climate change.

This is KGB 101 demoralization control

Yes, smug in ignorance is a feminine trait also.

Data at the polar cap shows that natural warming results in increase in CO2 previously trapped in ice. It is not CO2 that causes warming but the warming that causes CO2 release.

The data was obtained by the commi scientists doing ice carroting at Vostok during the Soviet Union. Is is where I believe they saw the data and decided to flip the interpretation on purpose.
