“prevent (a) climate catastrophe”
IMPOSSIBLE!
There is NOTHING, let me repeat, NOTHING puny humans could do to prevent a climate catastrophe.
OR even moderate one.
The earth is IMMENSE, climate forces are colossal, intricate, and uncontrollable (except by God Himself).
With that said, Hu-mans have NOTHING TO DO WITH climate change (weather). ANY (perceived) changes in global climate can not be created by puny hu-mans, therefore there is NOTHING puny hu-mans could do about it.
Hu-mans affect on climate is very limited to “local” areas.
Cities (heat island effect) etc. The world in its vastness is greatly uninhabited by hu-mans. Therefore they have ZERO effect on climate in the overall vastness of the planet.
God given “common sense” will tell you that the global warming/climate change kooks are out of their minds or just riding the cash cow.
And even if there was a way to prevent it every penny that was taxed by the government to "mitigate climate change" would be stolen, skimmed and slushed back to the politicians.
And after that when there was shown to be no discernible change it "mitigation" the same asshats would come back for more taxpayer money ... again and again and again and again.
Of all the DECADES of foreign aid to fix calamities and disasters and whatever else all over the globe NOTHING is better. The same countries clamor for more, and get it.
It stuns me that people don't seem to comprehend this simple fact. YOUR MONEY HAS BEEN STOLEN.
