Climate change is back in the news probably because a new report declared that this is a make-or-break decade to curb global warming. This is what—the seventh time we were told this was a critical decade for climate change. In 2007, these experts said that the Arctic Ice Cap would be gone by 2013. It ended up growing by over 533,000 square miles. And then, they said in the 1970s that global cooling was an existential issue as we undergo periods of glaciation. They were wrong again.
As the environmental Left goes haywire over carbon emissions, everything has been slated for demolition. Beef became a target, but not a new enemy has emerged for these green warriors: pot smokers. Yes, the marijuana business is now problematic to saving Mother Earth (via Politico):

New businesses in Michigan, small towns. I thought Leftists LIKED marijuana. They are such a schizoid bunch.
“Potheads are, so I’m told, a pretty conservative lot.”
More libertarian than conservative, usually, but there are all kinds.
One thing that they all have in common is that they are more than willing to ignore the government’s dictates if they think they know better. There’s definitely value to people like that in times like these.
The article cites electricity usage. What about CO2 usage?

The ideal CO₂ levels to increase the yield of cannabis plants is roughly 1,200 to 2,000ppm. Studies show that CO₂ levels of up to 10,000ppm can still significantly increase plant growth.
10,000ppm? We can’t have that! Can we?
The late William F. Buckley , George Schultz and Casper Weinberger were pro legalization of weed.
Honestly you drug warriors would make Harry J. Anslinger proud.
I’m a fan of Bill Buckley, but he wasn’t perfect or right about everything. For example, he was likely a pretty crappy parent, based on how his son Chris turned out to be an acid-dropping Obama/Biden voter fathering a kid out of wedlock.
George Schultz was a naive old fart who was taken in Elizabeth Holmes’ Theranos scam.
Great news!
The maskers will line up behind the new prohibitionists.
Legalization will save the environment.
The use of Germany’s buses, trains and trams has plummeted during the COVID pandemic, with many opting to go by car instead — and according to a new study, the trend shows no sign of reversing any time soon.
I bet cybercurrency mining requires much more energy than grow operations. The amount of computer and computer HVAC being used for that is pretty amazing.
So, if you’re suspected of something(who knows what these days) will they monitor your power usage at you domicile? LOL!
“Compare them with the abstemious Karens who would shit a brick at the idea of anyone trying to cop a buzz.”
Nah. The Karen homeland is near the Opium Triangle, remember. Marijuana isn’t the first drug they’ve been around.
So don't read too much into it happening to be weed this time. /lol
