You know, because, SCIENCE!
Great post, Freedumb2003!
Great post!
It's eerie how prescient they were about Venezuela.
So they are all concerned about the food supply ... righhht ... i am a farmer in California and these leftist politicians are doing everything they can to put us out of business. We have a sad saying around here “grow food, go to jail”. Hope they enjoy getting their food from Mexico and China.
Save da erf!
Exhibit A in the case against chicken little psychopaths.
I remember that day, my High School was pushing it Big Time.
I think I may concede that one to them. If you compare now to what we had in the early 60s in America and Europe, civilization does look pretty dead.
April 1970 was a few days from the Kent State demonstrations, which left 4 dead.
I can’t say that we have advanced during that period.
10. “Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” — Paul Ehrlich
Probably accurate. In 1975 air pollution was bad, especially from burning coal. Excess mortality due to burning coal was estimated at about 50,000 per year in the United States, by professor of health physics Bernard Cohen, in his 1983 book, “Before It’s Late.” Note, Cohen strongly supported the continued burning of coal, because the effects of poverty were much worse, even in terms of excess mortality. Cohen’s argument was that if we could get the same amount of electricity for the same price as we got from coal (think nuclear) we would save 50,000 lives per year.
Half of these quotes are Malthusian economics, which was refuted like a hundred years ago. And these are “educated” men.
For later
And then after Earth Day celebrations all those not involved in it will volunteer to pitch in and clean up after them.
On #7 - ironies of ironies, it’s capitalism that has saved the Chinese and indians from starvation.
Capitalism - the best sustainable system in existence!

This morning, one brave university professor,branded a “climate change skeptic” by the Leftist loudmouths on CNN’s New Day show, made some excellent points about CO2 being harmless water vapor. Opposite him, filibustering with all the climate change garbage, was Bill Nye, the laughable “science guy.” It is obvious that they are dead wrong about their alarmist predictions that have obviously been worthless, but it is their religion, it takes the place of God in their empty lives, and they will never admit their ignorance.
However, we who are sane should not be forced to pay for their religion. Pres. Trump should withdraw the USA from the ruinous climate change treaty signed in Paris by Obama’s feckless administration.
LOL! Especially #11. “...you’ll drive up to the pump and say ‘Fill ‘er up!”
Actually the sunspot lack of activity suggests we are in fact headed to a mini ice age....not unlike that of the late1700s. Think Washington crossing the Delaware
#7 was right
there’s starvation in Venezuela
And not a ONE has been taken to task over their stupid, politicized predictions!
Even ‘Miss Cleo’ was made to pay for her phony predictions!
I demand justice!
I was in high school for the first “earth day”. Our science teacher was highly skeptical of the dire predictions and so turned it into a day about being careful and conscientious stewards of the earth. Looking back, he was a big proponent of personal responsibility. He hated litterers so for our class that day we walked around the campus picking up trash etc. A good teacher with a sense of humor and civic duty.
Our French teacher, on the other hand, bought it hook, line and sinker. She had us reading dire predictions in French! Hilarious. Though we trusted adults and were worried she and another lib at school took it so seriously.
