I’m thinking more along the lines of the bit in “Christmas Vacation” when Uncle Louis lights his cigar and the sewer gas from Cousin Eddie’s RV goes off and decimates the Christmas tree and hie toupee!

. It would also cause flooding and cut off migratory paths for endangered jaguars, ocelots and other creatures, he said. And the barrier would do little to stop immigrants.

I think this and wildlife access to water is a legitimate concern.

A partial workaround for the water access, build the fence in the Rio Grande river.
Actually would help in making it more, if not impossible to scale or burrow under.

If that’s the case, then just take down the wall in China, and all walls around those rich leftists’ estates.

These same irrational useful idiots don’t mind millions of 3rd-Worlders coming here whose carbon footprint explodes by 100% or more.

They are so mentally burned-out (insane) that they should be locked up.

It was the Cultural Marxists who figured out how to control Words and Language so that they could literally create a system where the mentally ill will rule and teach all children to destroy and remove the Rational. Slavery is Freedom and Boys are Girls in their “utopia” where God and God’s Laws (Rule of Law) is removed for Rule of Man (insanity).

This is their plan, folks......to destroy Reason and Logic (Western Civilization/Christianity/Science) for tribalism, irrationality-—group-(non)-think-—collective “minds”. Back to the serf and slave days where pederasty and slavery was the norm-—human beings could be used in evil, vile ways to destroy all human interactions, including the male/female paradigm, the most diverse and the foundation of Common Sense and Reason and emotional health in children. Destroy the Natural Family and you collapse civilization and dehumanize all the little children who will be incapable of excellence (virtue).

The Leftists took over the APA first, along with the universities and all information and skools, to flip 2000 of years of Ethics back to the paganism, hedonism of the satanists (illuminati).

Vice creates slaves (Socrates). You have as many masters as you have vices (St. Augustine of Hippo). The Marxists destroy virtue formation in children, remove them from the Natural Family so they can brainwash them in artificial systems, where all common sense and logic is destroyed (and integration of the brain is impossible, so boys can be girls and sodomy is a virtue and Christian Worldview (the only rational one which created Free Will and Individualism, is destroyed (ERASED) in children.

This is the 200 plan of the Postmodernists, the “Kill God” group in Germany, who developed the “gender” theory and other irrational, vile “theories” to destroy the Natural Family, remove Natural Law from our “Justice” (virtue) System, and remove Reason and Logic in children.

Just take names and investigate each of these charlatans for data/grant fraud.

one of the stupidest articles i have ever read...

Same here.

I found the following link helpful: The Climate Science Challenge

From the link:

Remind your scientist that as far as you know there has never been a multi-year, multi-variable, complicated model of any type that predicted anything with useful accuracy. Case in point: The experts and their models said Trump had no realistic chance of winning.

Your scientist will fight like a cornered animal to conflate the credibility of the measurements and the basic science of CO2 with the credibility of the projection models. Don’t let that happen. Make your scientist tell you that complicated multi-variable projections models that span years are credible. Or not.

Global warming was declared dead on 1/20/2017. The hucksters who perpetrated this scam all ran for the tall grass.

It’ll unbalance things by keeping all of the hot Mexican air in Mexico. Climate Scientologists are deeply saddened.

Geographically speaking the wall WILL bottle up the third world pestilence that is beyond our borders. In that respect, diseases, unsanitary conditions and generally filthy habits WILL be contained. Kinda like we contain sewerage. Can we expect an argument that keeping creeping crud out of our homes is ‘unfair’ and bad for the planet? How then is keeping it out of our country anything but good? This planet is really BIG, lots of pestholes and unevolved people polluting everywhere. Maybe scientist should concentrate on raising living standards everywhere instead of lecturing us to lower ours. The US and a few other countries are CIVILIZATION on this planet. If a wall will protect that fact, I’d build one a mile wide protected by a mine field and poison gas.

Sorry, “scientists,” I guess you’re going to lose your federal grants. Our taxpayer money. It’s the end of the Global Warmist conspiracy: take from the poor and give to the rich.

So not only do cow farts and Halloween and Christmas lights cause global warming, but so does concrete!

Is there ANYTHING that doesn’t cause global warming?

Don’t these people know they’re a laughing stock?


I think the current strategy is to keep the true believers ginned up. They know half the country is on to them but those are not the people they’re targeting.

“Don’t these people know they’re a laughing stock?”

yeah, you couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried. BTW, speaking of laughing stocks, i think this “wall will cause global warming” nonsense came from the ultimate science joke, “Scientific American”:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-wall-could-cause-serious-environmental-damage/

same idiots who published this nonsense last year:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trump-s-border-wall-pledge-threatens-delicate-desert-ecosystems/

When the reality of the “delicate desert ecosystems” is this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=mexican+border+trash&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwisquGsguPRAhXLqFQKHbQSD5sQ_AUICCgB&biw=1047&bih=328

So, not only will the wall destroy the “delicate desert ecosystems” but now will apparently destroy the entire planet with “climate change”!

Also, do note the 100% unscientific, 100% anti-Trump sidebar on the first SA link above.

I knew this all the time. They haven’t had a cold drink in China for a thousand years because of their wall.

Let’s see, a list of ‘concrete’ structures: Berlin Wall (concrete & brick), Atlantik Wall, Siegfried Line, Maginot Line, any number of cities with streets and buildings, And let’s not forget that the Sun also causes global warming.

Yeah, it’s like shouting “Racist!” when every other viable insult fails. So unoriginal.
