There’s only 109 years left!!!!!
We’re anthropomorphizing the planet now. That’s healthy.
I have a large book collection (somewhere between 4-5000 volumes). I never adopted Kindle or other e-book formats. Seems to me that the true “owner” of the electronic book can alter the content anytime he wants. I imagine that in the future, electronic copies of, say, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” will contain no questionable terminology when referring to Jim the escaped slave. In contrast, the printed page is a safe bet — it says what it is meant to say.
Global Warming goal posts move faster than Jesse Owens.
I remember that 1975 hoax.
The planet will be spared if we forfeit all individuality to the America democrat party.
Especially our bank accounts.
Huckleberry Finn would be a much weaker novel without Huck’s constant use of the pejorative “N” word. It’s the whole point of it. He grew up believing that slavery was good, blacks were subhuman, and listening to his father’s drunken rants about “n—ers,” and he believes that he is doing something unsavory by helping Jim gain his freedom, even while doing everything he can to help.
But in the end, the goodness of Jim, how he grieves for mistreating his daughter ‘til he realized she was deaf and didn’t hear his command, and how kind he was to Huck himself, in contradistinction to his father, who chased him around with a knife and constantly whipped him, for daring to learn how to read and putting on frills, or just being there when he felt like whipping somebody, so that at the very end of the book, Huck refers to Jim as a “good man,” finally seeing his humanity. But the woke idiots would Bowdler-ize the greatest novel ever written, the second-best being Alone in Berlin by Hans Falada. I wonder what they’d cut out of that one.
Gee I thought it was nine years. Is that why Obama and Gore just bought homes on the ocean. (since it is supposed to rise) S/O
Maybe they’ve secretly installed giant water wings under their respective mansions. That’ll work.
Sandy the bartender can barely remember how to make drinks, you think she can figure out math or how to understand time?
I was taught in the ‘60’s that by 1970 we’d be in an ice age. By ‘75 we’d be out of oil. I was terrified.
God, I hate these people.
Then a generation later,
Our Newest Experts,
1) The planet is a non-living, unfeeling object.
2) CO2 is a vital trace gas required for all living things on this planet, and they would do well with a bit more of it in the atmosphere.
What is so special about the number eleven? Is it some number that most people magically forget? They have been saying 11 years until climate doomsday for decades now. They have been wrong for decades and have lost all credibility.
I seriously consider anyone that buys into climate doom and gloom is a complete moron without any long term memory.
Even bigger morons are Republicans in Congress that never cut funding for NPR. Your tax dollars paid for this piece of schiff report.
The good old peak oil myth. It may come true if Brandon has his way.
What idiots keep believing these folks?
