Meanwhile, Muslims could be packing mosques around the corner from them and the NYT would totally ignore it.
There is something creepy about this ripple of far-left attempts to make some sort of grand comparison between climate change and COVID-19.
As a logical proposition, one could point out that any given person could be right about one and wrong about the other. There is no obvious linkage. Just because scientists say do this about climate change and do that about COVID-19, does not mean that they are right about both, or for that matter, right about either of them.
Who is really in a position to say whether the social distancing is that great an idea, when placed in a larger context of all of its effects? It may look okay now, but after a few months and a collapsed economy, then what? What will we accomplish and what could we have avoided?
But anyway, climate change is not so much wrong as over-stated. That seems to be a generalization one could make about both situations. The suggested cure is essentially to do enormous harm to the economy and then see if it makes much difference to the problem under consideration.
I’m a skeptic of anything that left-wingers think is a good idea, simply because, USSR + China = Mucho Mistakes on an epic scale. Leftists go on from their many huge blunders as though they have done nothing wrong and nobody noticed.
Well somebody did notice. Deal with it.
Indeed.
