Maybe they will just get tired and quit.

“Maryama Warsame, 18, said she sees this playing out in her own activism, especially when adults affirm her work without actually making changes.

“We’re used for their benefit, when they are ignoring our cries for help with climate justice,” Warsame said. “A lot of the time, I feel like it’s just demonstrative, and they don’t necessarily care what we have to say.””

One of them is composting. Composting is hard work but self-defeating. It easily makes enough methane to fry a turkey from only a few pounds of grass.

As boring as Geology 101 was, it made it clear to me at least two things: (i) that no one can do anything about climate change. Not now, not ever, and (ii) warmer is better unless you like mass starvation and extinction.

Since the worst effects of climate change won’t happen for 100 years or so, these Gaia worshippers will all live out a long life, without ever knowing if anything they did mattered more bean a f-rt in the wind. Simply expendable tools of their progressive masters. Sad.

The black hole at the center of our galaxy is getting mad at all the negative waves our media have been producing for the last century and they haven’t even arrived there yet!

Good point. Chicago was buried under a mile of ice during the last ice age. How did all that ice melt, as it all melted well before man was allegedly dumping all these pollutants into the environment???

Well, back then there was a very large group of humanoids called the Cro-Magnon Neo-Republicans who were advanced technologically, but not woke. They created huge vehicles, kind of like Hummers - but much bigger and made to drive on the ice, that ran on a carbon-based fuel that had been given to them by aliens from the planet MAGA.

You know the rest of the story..

We were having dinner with friends last week and the topic of climate change came up. I politely pointed out the very spot we were dining was buried under one mile of ice just 300 generations ago.

Someone needs to explain to them what the word “more” in sophomore means.

We live in an era of great deception.

Pick the topic, follow the $$$, and you will see that decisions are based on goals beyond the “problems”.

The climate changes constantly. Just as God planned for it to. Mankind will never change the Climate. That is God’s work.

You should also tell them we are currently in an Ice Age - the Quaternary (2.58M years to now). Quaternary defined as a period of cyclic continental glaciations. We’ve been enjoying a warm lull since the ice sheets retreated. Tell them not to worry someday they’ll be back and there’s nothing we can do about it!

Europe is doing a good job of ‘fighting the climate crisis’ as all they’ll be using this winter is their ‘green’ energy.

There won't be a tree left standing in Europe when this winter is over.

You should remind them that the day the climate STOPS changing will be a VERY bad day.

Saving the world on a pipe dream with no substance, no proof, no infrastructure, nothing but that doesn’t matter when you have passion and emotion and an absolute ignorance to anything but a talking point
