It's cold tonight, and I sit at my desk, wishing it were warmer. Even with central heat and air, winter is a difficult time. My sinuses are inflamed, my knuckles are dry and red, and my joints are sore with the cold. Every year I dread it more. And now environmentalists like Jeff Bezos want to make it colder.
It's no accident that Shakespeare wrote of "the winter of our discontent" (Richard III) and of "the icy fang / And churlish chiding of the winter's wind" (As You Like It). Shakespeare, who lived through some of the coldest decades of the Little Ice Age, found nothing to like about winter. Nor did Dickens, who wrote often of "the winter of despair," or, in a line about the short days of winter that applies to today's liberals, "Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it." Turn off the lights — you're burning too much fossil fuel!
The fact is that cold is more damaging than heat. Long, cold winters followed by cold, damp springs and summers diminish crop yields, leading to global hunger. If the Earth were a few degrees warmer, that heat would expand corn and wheat belts to the north. In terms of global food security, it is cold we should fear, not heat.

It isn’t about weather....it’s about control
The winter of 2017–18 was unusually cold and long, resulting in late planting and reduced crop yields in the temperate regions. And according to scientists at NASA's Langley Research Center, the next 20 years may see a repeat of 2017–18 or worse. That is because we are entering a period of extended solar minima in which the Earth's temperature declines as a result of lower sunspot activity.
I believe this to be true. But AOC and the MSM and the Green New Deal Gang and socialists, Marxists and Communists worldwide have been pounding us with “data” showing quite the opposite.
Someone is fudging the data. Someone is lying. And they have a very powerful voice.
We’re all gonna die! The corona virus can take a backseat to the ever present climate change emergency.
“If the Earth were a few degrees warmer, that heat would expand corn and wheat belts to the north.”
Not to mention my neighbor’s zoysia grass...which is greening up and expanding already (in NC)! Gonna have to buy more Round-up.
Didn’t even mention the coming of the next ice age. BTW: We’re about 2000 years overdue.
This article spells out close to what I used to attempt to tell liberals. I gave up on trying to discuss anything with liberals because, as you say, they’re stuck on stooped.
Libs believe the Truth is what they want the Truth to be.
Didn’t even mention the coming of the next ice age. BTW: We’re about 2000 years overdue.

You missed it.

That is because we are entering a period of extended solar minima in which the Earth’s temperature declines as a result of lower sunspot activity. Don’t donate your parkas to Goodwill just yet, and prepare to eat less salad. If temperatures drop even to a fraction of what happened during the Little Ice Age, Florida and California will experience extreme cold — with damage to winter crops like lettuce and tomato.

“Not to mention my neighbor’s zoysia grass”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not like that stuff.
Less than arf an arrr, worth a watch...
I put a natural area with a 3-foot “kill zone” between the neighbor’s zoysia and our yard. Anything green growing in the kill zone is rounded up.
As I sit here cold this morning, I strongly support a few degrees warmer temp. Please!
Wait until tomorrow!
I sent you the part where they mention the coming cold.
You’re welcome.
Don’t you recall not long ago that nuzzlin’ joe proclaimed that the demodrones will rely on ‘truth’ not facts. Uh, wut?
Me, too. As you know, they are impossible to deal with. Everything is based on touchy-feeley emotion, not logic or reason. They’re under some kind of spell/mind control.
