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.

I predict that places like New Zealand will be optimum places to live when climate change hits.

Of course I’m calling for a severe global cooling (and quite possibly mile thick ice over Chicago). South America would be good too. Warm and wet places. Warm and dry not so much - as the earth will get REALLY dry with all of the water held in the glacial ice.

Hmm. I can already see the divisions and battles going on. The growers near the equator. The “fringers” fighting the elements to break off icebergs and tow them south in return for food.

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?

Relocate immediately.

If you're a liberal, may I suggest the Marianas Trench? Or somewhere south of Patagonia?

Change jobs.

There won't be much demand for baristas when we're all boiling alive.

Be rich.

Because Michael Moore and Al Gore and a whole host of limousine liberals have discovered the secret to not suffering.

Reduce your need for clean water and air.

You mostly live in filthy cities. You already have.

Don’t get attached to each other.

Liberals? They go through relationships like most people go through toilet paper.

Avoid having children and grandchildren.

That should be easy. If the males aren't sterile soy boys, they're queer. And the women can turn the stomach of a lonely whaler.

Warming actually makes more snow. Something about warmer oceans evaporate more and the more water in the atmosphere precipitates more and makes the ice caps melt. It makes perfect sense.

A brief history of climate panic and crisis… both warming and cooling

For at least 120 years, climate “scientists” have been claiming that the climate was going to kill us…but they have kept switching whether it was a coming ice age, or global warming.

(A timeline of claims follows, updated to 2014)

1895 – Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again – New York Times, February 1895
1902 – “Disappearing Glaciers…deteriorating slowly, with a persistency that means their final annihilation…scientific fact…surely disappearing.” – Los Angeles Times
1912 – Prof. Schmidt Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age – New York Times, October 1912
1923 – “Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada” – Professor Gregory of Yale University, American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress, – Chicago Tribune
1923 – “The discoveries of changes in the sun’s heat and the southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age” – Washington Post
1924 – MacMillan Reports Signs of New Ice Age – New York Times, Sept 18, 1924
1929 – “Most geologists think the world is growing warmer, and that it will continue to get warmer” – Los Angeles Times, in Is another ice age coming?
1932 – “If these things be true, it is evident, therefore that we must be just teetering on an ice age” – The Atlantic magazine, This Cold, Cold World
1933 – America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-Year Rise – New York Times, March 27th, 1933
1933 – “…wide-spread and persistent tendency toward warmer weather…Is our climate changing?” – Federal Weather Bureau “Monthly Weather Review.”

List continues at link...

Yes, every time I read one of these things about “human-caused climate change” they get more idiotic. The author of these literary disasters needs to go pound sand.

Google searches don’t bring up the Left’s dire prediction anymore but it lingers on in discussions of it

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/blogs/tim-blair/children-just-arent-going-to-know-what-snow-is/news-story/5a16c85680b7cc94f345240a727fb09dCHILDREN JUST AREN’T GOING TO KNOW WHAT SNOW IS
Tim Blair, The Daily Telegraph
January 16, 2013 11:03am

According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

One of the longest running climate prediction blunders has disappeared from the Internet
Anthony Watts / November 12, 2015
Readers of WUWT and millions of climate skeptics have read this article before, and in fact it is likely one of the most cited articles ever that illustrates the chutzpah and sheer hubris on display from a climate scientist who was so certain he could predict the future with certainty. Dr. David Viner of the Climatic Research Unit who famously said:

From the Independent’s most cited article: Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past by Charles Onians:

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.

“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

It seems however, that after over 15 years, the Independent has removed that article...

Published in the year 2000, I thought maybe the story was just too old, and the Independent simply removed the story to save archive space, or maybe this had to do with some site redesign and the URL simply got broken. Yet when I remove the quote marks to search for the phrase in general, and not exactly, other stories back as far as 1994 about global warming and snow appear...

GLO-BULL WARMING EXPLAINED:

Hot summer = glo-bull warming
Cold winter = glo-bull warming
Drought = glo-bull warming
Flood = glo-bull warming
Blizzard, Hail, Hurricane, Tornado etc. = glo-bull warming
Ex wife = glo-bull warming
Mother in Law = glo-bull warming
etc etc etc etc = glo-bull warming

Why did Al Gore buy a villa in California near the beach? He knows in a few short years it will be underwater or perhaps he knows it will not and is just a damned lying charlatan.

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

They’re no longer hiding it.

True, that; it's all been out in the open in the form of UN Agenda 21 for years. They want Earth's population reduced by about 85%.

And, of course, THEY will be the survivors. So let's kill 'em NOW!
