The Daily Signal ^ | March 11, 2019 | Jarrett Stepman

Peddlers of the Green New Deal know that the only way for their radical agenda to become reality is if Americans buy into the wildest claims of climate extremists.

It’s clear that some of the most enthusiastic supporters of this radical agenda are young people.

This was on full display in the now viral video of a meeting between Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and a group of children from the Sunrise Movement.

I keep telling my kids that the world has been “about to end in 12 years” for the entirety of my 57 years on this earth.

If someone tells you that the world is going to end in 6 years it quickly becomes obvious if their science if flawed. If they tell you it’s going to end in 24 years you’ll probably not get too worked up about it, that’s a long ways off.

12 years seems to be the magic length of time for maximum political impact of “science”.

When I was young they were honestly predicting the world would be so overpopulated by 2022 we’d all starve to death.

Soylent Green was set in the distant future, about 2025, when the mean temperature will be 85, all sea-life will die, we all sleep outside or in stairwells, and if we butt in line to get
Soylent Green, they call out The Scoops. Dang, that was a great low budget movie.

Science is not yet able to predict a single earthquake with specificity, nor the precise path of a famine or disease. How can they predict a hugely more complex event?

Hold it!
Number 5 is actually true!

First of all, we are still in a major glaciation period - the Quaternary (A time period characterized by cyclic transcontinental glaciations!). What have experienced for the last 20,000 years is a warming lull. That will change!

So there will be another Ice Age (major glaciation) it’s a matter of when!

Why would ANY sane person take into account the opinions, musings and questions from children? It simply blows my mind! Children know NOTHING!

Read the article.

In 1958 leftists predicted:

“the Arctic Ocean will be open and the Ice Age [will] begin in another twenty years.”

They predicted the next ICE AGE would come in 1978.

Agreed: “12-year”s seems to be their magical time period now.

The Coming Ice Age

That one seems to be true. I was just shoveling ice from my walkway here in Las Vegas.
