There's More Than Meets the Eye to Ramaswamy's Climate Comment
Time ^ | 8/28/23 | Justin Worland

Posted on 08/28/2023 2:02:34 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Vivek Ramaswamy, the entrepreneur turned politician, constructed his climate comment at last week’s Republican debate very precisely. “The climate agenda is a hoax,” he said to the raucous audience. For years, many Republicans, most notably Donald Trump, have claimed that climate change is a hoax. Inserting the word “agenda” into the once-common GOP refrain, may seem minor, but it represents a significant evolution.

The signals of climate change have become increasingly present—think of the record-setting extreme heat and near-constant flooding—and leading Republicans can no longer feasibly deny that climate change is happening. Indeed, it’s happening in the backyards of Republican and Democratic voters alike.

Climate change sure is a popular subject with the Fake News apparatus these days.

The only more popular tactic is mass indictments of the opposition.

" For years, many Republicans, most notably Donald Trump, have claimed, correctly, that climate change is a hoax." Fixed, oh science-illiterate media. Who the hell would believe a journalism major, to whom fifth grade math was a supreme challenge?

Our Modern Warm Period is a big nothingburger (see graph). I'm more concerned with Vivek's Soros funding.

It’s a hoax and a pseudo-scientific/pseudo-religious cult. It has brainwashed billions of people.

His positions may have changed over time, but he definitely knows the interests of those now supporting him. I suppose the concern is the quality of true desire and the ability to commit to it despite the political pressure to do otherwise. This is were a history of consistent rhetoric and actions helps.

This has been one of the mildest summers I can remember in Virginia.

Ramaswami made a precise statement and points out yet again how the devil is in the details when truth is under assault.

Cold conditions kill people and end civilizations.

Hot conditions generally usher in good times for all.

Global Warming is, if anything, a good thing.

And the whole notion of “climate change” instead of “global warming” is, I think, an admission from the Left that things go up and things go down and there’s just no telling what is going to happen or what is causing anything to happen. The idea of “climate change” is so very vague that it tells me that it’s a meaningless political ploy and has everything to do with communism and nothing to do with climate.

The climate change agenda wasn't just $profit$ in the beginning. The radical neo-Malthusians who invented the whole scam wanted (and still want) the population of the Earth to collapse by 90%. Collapsing Western technology was/is just a means to that end.

Dr. Tim Ball: The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science.

Still in print on Amazon.

Encouraging to see a candidate expressing skepticism so strongly, but I still don't trust him any farther than I can throw a Buick. He made his fortune with a stock market fraud, and now he's after bigger game.

What Soro’s funding? Ypu mean he won a scholarship?

Well, so did I. I never learned who funded the scholarship.

Neither did Vivek.

Ever seen the movie “Snowpiercer”? Very interesting...and I think is what the elites have in mind for us..and well as them following other dystopian movies and novels.

“near constant flooding . . .” - for years I heard my SUV was responsible for the drought in California.

Slime: “climate change is happening”

I don’t even know what that is supposed to mean.

That is like saying red and blue are colors—and leftists want to kill us all.
