Let’s see how many old-timey words for “nonsense” I can squeeze into one article about 56 years of climate change balderdash.
Soap-dodging prairie fairies have been ringing the Chicken Little climate klaxon for at least five decades. That means we are celebrating more than 50 years of “the sky is falling” horsefeathers.
Every climate gloomster has one thing in common: when it comes to their grim predictions for the planet, they’re all batting zero.
A lot of them also seem to ignore actual climate-related emergencies, like the ongoing train derailment trauma in East Palestine, Ohio, where residents suffered vomiting, rashes, nose-bleeds, and bronchitis as they watched their pets and livestock die.
Let’s take a look at some of the greatest pork pies ever told about the yet-to-be-seen calamity that will end humanity and deliver the planet back to the apes.

Most people have realized that the pandemic was just a pretense to impose authoritarian rule. Will it ever dawn on them that climate is likewise just a device being used for the same purpose?

LOL! Indubitably!
Kevin Downey Jr. Not Robert.
I LOLd. I had to lookup Robert not Kevin. Turns out the actor is Republican
I am not sure they’ve got the picture on covid. Trump is still out saying people wanted the shots. Combine that with the fact he has never regretted the people who died alone in hospitals and homes without the humanity of a funeral.
He will do it again. He is for Disney groomers and homosexuality normalization.
Darn it!
I was hoping to get the answer on why you should wrap tinfoil around the door knob
And put a red cup under your toliet seat.
Those are important issues.
The article is by KEVEN Downey Jr., not Robert Downey Jr.
I remember reading a article by Cleveland Amory in 1972 in which he stated that by the year 2000 there will only be one square foot of land for each person living in the USA. My cousin had read the article first and showed it to me. We both laughed out loud!
Well, wrapping foil around the doorknob might not do much, but I do wrap a double layer of foil around car keyfobs. This is because thieves have a device that can amplify keyfob signals, which allows them to open and start the car and load it on a truck. The foil blocks the signal. I do test it occasionally and replace the foil, since it does not seem to block well once it gets too badly crumpled. I test it by standing next to the car with the wrapped keyfob. If I can’t open or start the car, the foil is working.
It’s cow flatulence-the biggest cause of global warming if you can believe it. How much flatulence did Mt. Pinotubo emit?
If cows are that bad what about humans? Ours has gotta be worse and there’s a lot more of us.
Well, I would say he’s an actor, I can’t say agree with that claim. 🙂
