Column: How to survive climate change: six easy steps
The Boston Globe ^ | December 8, 2018 | by Yvonne Abraham

Posted on 12/10/2018 12:07:40 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Happy holidays, we’re all doomed!

Scientists keep telling us that climate change could devastate our environment, economy, and health by the end of this century. And we’re doing less than nothing about it. Our government - led by a know-nothing who thinks global warming is a hoax because Thanksgiving was cold - has let fossil fuel foxes make henhouse policy, dismantled already weak environmental regs, and opened up millions of acres of pristine public land for drilling.

But I’m here to help, friends. Here are a few easy steps you can take to protect yourself from climate change, since your leaders won’t.

Relocate immediately.

If you live by the ocean, find some sucker to buy your house. According to a report by 13 federal agencies, sea level rise and more extreme weather events threaten $1 trillion in coastal property.

Change jobs.

For many of you, it’s time to find another line of work. The federal report estimate annual losses of as much as two billion labor hours.

Be rich.

How else are you going to get through this? Moving to New Zealand is expensive, after all.

Reduce your need for clean water and air.

The federal report says more than 100 million people in the United States already breathe unhealthy air. It’s only going to get worse.

Don’t get attached to each other.

In a warmer world, more of us are going to die of heat-related causes. The report says there could be as many as 2,300 more premature deaths a year by 2090 in the Northeast alone.

Avoid having children and grandchildren.

That way, you’ll never have to explain to them how you let this happen.

Voluntary Human Extinction is what the climate change cult has always been about.

They’re no longer hiding it.

No need to worry about it when you’re six feet under.

It doesn't take a cold Thanksgiving to prove it's a hoax. And it's amazing how a know-nothing made billions and somehow defeated the brilliant Hillary.

Especially when the 158,000,000 foreigners who’ve said they want to immigrate to America get here...

They’ve dropped their convenient lie that Britsh school children will never again see a snowfall. Now the talking point is that even with warming there will still be snow.

Let’s see, who is it in the bible who hates all of humanity and wants them to either die or at least be miserable?

Wanna know how to see the “global warming” scam? How it is not for saving the world, not to help save people, not for saving the polar bear and is all about massively growing government power?

1. The most far left wing rich/celebrity/politician supporters of “global warming” continue to buy uber-expensive beach front property. Beach front property, all around world, continues to rise in price. If they believed their own hype, beach front property should be worthless and they wouldn’t go anywhere near it.

2. The most far left wing rich/celebrity/politician supporters of “global warming” are the most radical anti-nuclear power nuts you can find. Think about it, a power source that is capable of providing the power needs to an entire country without adding one “green house” gas or emission. If “global warming” was that real and that imminent, they would be screaming to close down every fossil fuel power generation station (to include natural gas) and replace it with nuclear power.

3. When “scientists” or government bureaucrats find flaws in their data or models suggesting that their global warming doom predictions are not true or greatly exaggerated - they are sad or angry about it. Or even try to hide the new data. Any normal person, when told they were basically were about to die in a melting earth in the very near future, would be jumping for joy on finding this new data. They would partying on their new lease on life singing “We are saved from destruction!”

Listen, liberals. If Mother Nature wanted to change the climate like she has done many times in the past, we’d be fried or frozen solid, and we would be able to do nothing about it.

The Sahara was once a lush jungle. Glaciers covered New England down to what is now Massachussetts. The dinosaurs were wiped out by a change in the climate.

The Earth is master of its own climate, and you liberal idiots are stupid, so shut up.

Substitute this one-step solution: Pour yourself the adult beverage of your choice and enjoy this mild winter, brought to you by the climate change formerly known as global warming.
