The Left Is an Existential Threat

The March 2020 issue of Fortune magazine focused on the "existential threat" to the Earth posed by global warming, despite the fact that no significant global warming seems to be taking place. With its appealing cover art — an image of the Earth tied up in a plastic trash bag — this issue is just what I'd expect from a liberal outfit.

It's typical of climate alarmists to begin by assuming their premise: warming is an existential threat because, well, it is. And anyone who questions that premise is a criminal.

Just what is meant by "existential threat" is a bit vague. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously announced that the Earth would come to an end by 2030. No more life on the planet, no more planet. That means that the planet somehow evaporates or shatters into a billion bits that go flying around in space. Unless we give up everything to a totalitarian socialist government headed by Ocasio-Cortez and the like.

Is this what Fortune means by declaring that "our warming earth is an existential threat"? Fortune's editor-in-chief is Clifton Leaf. In addition to editorial positions at a number of other publications, Leaf has written for the New York Times and appeared on Charlie Rose, CNN, and NPR, among other places. No mention of Fox News. An untarnished résumé of a life inside the liberal bubble.

Sounds like a nazi slogan.

Pfftttt! Guess not. Look at how much of the crap cleared up in the few weeks since the covid-19 debacle started. Must not have been as polluted as the eco-tossers were claiming in that case. So, yes, the ‘left’ is more of a threat than grrrreta’s pet peeve.

If we pull out of this near-total crash and get back to living, in time we will recognize this as a fantastic brush with totalitarian disaster.

One positive thing the Wuhan Virus has done is to crush the credibility of "scientific models".  Even Dr. Fauci has been warning about the dangers of analytic models.

AoC: In ten years, human life won't survive due to global warming.

On what evidence?

AoC: It's what the scientists say?

Yeah, but how do the scientists predict this?  Can they see into the future?  Are they soothsayers, Oracles, or Nostradami?

AoC: No stupid.  They use scientific models!

You mean like the Scientific models that predicted 2 million U.S. deaths from the Chinese "Wuuuu Honey" Virus?  Bwahaha!  Gotcha, AoC!

AoC: No, you're a racist and xenophobe!

Maybe so, but AoC you are truly dumber than a rock.  That's one reason Ted Kennedy hired you as an intern.

CV19 will force change of understanding and procedures in more ways than we realize at this time. Graffs and models, only the beginning.

Liberals are suffering their ignorance now, wait until changes begin to occur. ‘These folks’ will be throwing lightening bolts in an attempt to cover their tracks.

FTA: The radical environmentalist movement is nothing more than another front for the left, whose overarching goal is totalitarian collectivism. The iconic image for leftists — what leftists really treasure in their hearts — is that of obedient masses marching off to work, row after silent row under the thumb of the State. Those who rule never see themselves as marching off — they stand on the imperial balconies, basking in the admiration of the workers who pass by. The achievement of that godlike sense of power underlies all leftist thought.

Don’t bet on it.
