British Columbia wildfires intensify, doubling evacuations to over 35,000

With that, it would be naïve to exclude ecoterrorism as it’s in the by-all-means-necessary column.

Terrorist acts have included the spiking of trees to present hazards to loggers who would cut the trees, the dismantling of an electrical transmission tower, and the sinking of ships involved in whaling and drift net fishing. Eco- terrorists have also issued death threats against targeted individuals and even attempted to murder individuals deemed threats to their cause.
— Department of Justice, 1996

They’ve tried to injure, destroy, deface priceless works of art, and glued themselves to anything that would stick. It isn’t beyond these nutcases, who’ve been scared bejeezus about a climate that always has and will change, to do what they deem imperative to get us all to change our way of life.

US wildfire, smoke map: Track latest wildfires, red flag warnings across the US

Although environmental experts and federal agencies have attributed the massive fires and ensuing smoke to warm and dry conditions that exacerbated Canada’s wildfire season, which typically runs from May to October, the extreme weather has sparked conspiracy theories that the fires were started by climate change advocates who are using the unhealthy air to push for legislative change.

Because we ALL KNOW they’d never do anything like that….

“I bet a good portion of the wildfires raging across the country were started by green terrorists who want to give their climate change campaign a little boost,” Maxime Bernier, the leader of the far-right People’s Party of Canada, tweeted on Monday. “The far left are experts at inventing and creating crises that they can then exploit.”
— Newsweek, 6/8/23

It’s not like Bernier is blowing smoke. Liberals ARE experts at inventing and creating crises they can exploit.

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things that you think you could not before.
— Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff, 11/19/08

There’s a consistent lack of apprehensions of ecoterrorists and Antifa. Both are comprised of mostly young, white liberals and in at least one case, a proven family member of the elite political class got a slap on the wrist for her violent and destructive acts.

The [transgender] daughter of House Minority Whip Katherine Clark – the second highest ranking Democrat in the lower chamber, struck a deal with prosecutors that will result in the dismissal of Riley Dowell’s case (allegedly struck a police officer in the face, leading to an assault and battery on a police officer charge, on top of charges of vandalizing property, tagging property, vandalizing a historic marker/monument after allegedly spray-painting a monument in the historic Boston Common with anti-police slogans “NO COP CITY” and “ACAB” — an acronym for “all cops are bastards.” and resisting arrest) after writing a letter of apology to Officer Daniel Roca, who suffered a bloody nose during the Jan. 21 incident, completing 30 hours of community service within a year and re-paying the city for the cost of removing her graffiti, the Boston Globe reported on Wednesday.
— New York Post, 1/23/23

These young people know the authorities won’t look after the perpetrators of certain crimes, who’s committing them, and if they are caught up in a wide net, they’ll either be set free with minimum inconvenience or even be generously reimbursed for the insult.

There are way too many wildfires happening to make this anything but copycats performed by a generation who make almost everything about themselves, how they feel, and the need to be the ones to “save the world”; especially when it means the destruction of property they neither built or paid for. They are devoid of conscience and any deaths caused by their actions are okay as long as they are saving the planet.

The fact very few in the so-called media has any interest in coming to the bottom of how these fires started and have lazily defaulted to blaming “climate change” implies there is something nefarious behind them and it could make their cult look very bad. Attributing the wildfires to possible arson can be called a conspiracy theory by the left and their media, but how many recent conspiracy theories have turned out to be true?

If people lose their homes, if not lives, it’s something these climate change ecoterrorists can live with as long as these bad things happen far from the current areas they occupy.

UPDATE

It turns out a lot of us were right….

Quebec man pleads guilty to setting 14 forest fires, burning hundreds of hectares
A Quebec man has admitted to setting a series of fires that burned hundreds of hectares of forest last year and forced hundreds of people from their homes. Brian Paré, 38, pleaded guilty today to 13 counts of arson and one count of arson with disregard for human life at the courthouse in Chibougamau, Que.
— National Post, 1/15/24

… the media was wrong (again) and it just pisses them off.

‘Alarming’ disinformation about Quebec wildfires spreads after arsonist’s guilty plea
The headline — “Quebec man pleads guilty to setting 14 forest fires, burning hundreds of hectares” — was shocking, but the reaction to it spreading on social media was even more troubling to climate change experts.

Soon after news articles were published about Brian Paré, who admitted on Monday to setting fires that forced hundreds of people from their homes last year, people on X, formerly known as Twitter, were quick to accuse the government and the media of lying to them.
— CTV News, 1/18/24

It’s not like that reaction isn’t irrational, after all the things we were told were “conspiracy theories” or “foreign misinformation” that turned out to be true and not ONE apology or retraction was offered by the same media that demonized anyone who repeated what turned out to be true.

Even when they’re caught, they still double down.

“It’s very alarming that someone who spreads climate disinformation online goes to this length to make a point that is in no way based on reality, on science. So that’s really unfortunate,” said Andréanne Brazeau, a climate policy analyst with Montreal-based environmental group Equiterre.

We have a movie glamorizing the blowing up of an oil pipeline by young activists (ecoterrorists), so an arsonist making a misguided point about “climate change” was inevitable.

Couple that with placing academics and nonprofit activists who knew absolutely nothing about how an economy works in cabinet and policy positions, the results would be predictable enough to be a parody basis for a brutal Monty Python feature film.

That’s the headline of a report to be released Wednesday by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, compiled by Stephen Moore and Jon Decker. The pair studied the résumés of 68 top executive-branch officials whose work shapes the economy—from President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to White House special assistants on economic policy.

“Average business experience of Biden appointees is only 2.4 years,” the authors found. Any fresh-faced 25-year-old on Wall Street has clocked more private business hours than most of Washington’s top officials. Sixty-two percent have “virtually no business experience.” By contrast, the average Donald Trump cabinet official had 13 years of experience in the private economy, the authors say.

Some familiarity with business is especially important given that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have spent their lives in law or politics. But the authors found that Biden economic officialdom is dominated by careers in law (20), politics and government (21), and academia or policy-making (12). There are prominent exceptions. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was a successful venture capitalist before entering government, and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland ran operations at a New Mexico tribal casino.

Yet it’s fair to wonder if the Biden policies and their results reflect a lack of even a basic understanding of how business works.

Innocence of profits, payrolls and competition seems to count as a virtue among today’s progressives. But that isn’t a virtue when modern government has so much power to regulate and punish private business. Presidents are free to appoint whoever they wish, but the results of business ignorance in this Administration are speaking for themselves.
— Wall Street Journal, 7/12/22

Going forward, don’t expect the politically privileged and arrogant to reverse course on a policies inspired by partisan hate with no regard to how those policies would affect millions of Americans. Those within the administration and Democrat party are pretty much insulated from the financial hardships their “principles” have unleashed on the nation. It won’t be an emergency until it negatively affects them and most of these wonks and academics will be able to land softly back into colleges and DC think tanks should they become midterm casualties, so they still aren’t facing real world ramifications.

The Capitol Hill beltway culture is a parasitical culture that will continue to indifferent to the pain they cause until the infrastructure is dismantled and rebuilt based on logic and need instead of what’s best for an entrenched political party.

People of color and other marginalized, low-income people will be most affected by an overturning of landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, health and policy experts said after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion was published by Politico Monday. About half of U.S. states, concentrated in the South, Midwest and Plains, have restrictive abortion laws set to go into effect should the reversal take place. Experts say those who disproportionately have trouble accessing health care, often people of color, will be most impacted.

More than half of the nation’s Black population lives in the South, where women of color make up a significant proportion.
— USA Today, 5/3/22

Given what the nation witnessed with the destruction of black neighborhoods during the 2020 George Floyd protests (of which many white liberals willfully participated in), it’s hard to believe anyone on the left who claims to care about “people of color”, especially when it comes to the topic of abortion….

For years, the left has made of point of protecting the “right” of black women to abort their children and with a dose of irony purely dependent on political ignorance, Planned Parenthood shares their concern.

Given the legacy of race and racism in the United States, the reproductive health challenges and opportunities that the nation faces are similar but often exacerbated for the Black community. They affect the community in very specific and unique ways.
— Planned Parenthood

No “thank you” is forthcoming from the sane.

As evidenced by the near-uniformity of media coverage, a lot of people on the left are concerned that the killing black babies may be slowed.

PBS: Black and Hispanic people have the most to lose if Roe is overturned
ABC News: With abortion in jeopardy, minority women have most to lose
Fortune: As Oklahoma and Idaho enact abortion restrictions, Black women will suffer the most
CNN: ‘White supremacist law’: How restrictive abortion legislation targets Black and brown women
SF Chronicle: Black women saw Roe’s end ‘a long time ago,’ as right-wingers peddled racial myths

In the age of eye-of-the-beholder misinformation, “racial myths” are only as valid as those who actually take the time to read up on the original intent of the abortion movement in the United States.

The abortion industry wasn’t created to provide affordable health care to women. It was created, Planned Parenthood specifically, to eradicate black people from American society. The pro-abortion left lionizes Margaret Sanger to this day despite the majority of the blithering idiots, protesting in from of the Supreme Court, not being able to tell you who she was and/or what she ultimately wanted.

Almost everything in this country deemed racist originated in the Democrat Party. Abortion is no different and shame on all those who support it.

“U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate” John Kerry was interviewed by BBC Arabic and considering the usual death and collateral damage that comes with war, he made one of the most tone deaf statements to date, and that’s saying a lot given a Biden administration that was widely praised by the corporate media for bringing back the “adults” in U.S. politics….

Of course, when it comes to anything the public obviously took the wrong way, the administration explained how we all should have understood what we heard.

Secretary Kerry strongly condemns the unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. On Monday prior to the attack, he was asked about the climate implications of a potential future conflict.
— State Department spokesman

Yeah, he was and perhaps he spoke a tad too much again.

Kerry excoriated for hoping Putin will focus on climate change amid Ukraine invasion
Kerry is slammed for saying he hopes Putin stays ‘on track’ to fight CLIMATE CHANGE as Russia prepared to invade Ukraine
John Kerry and the Adults Who Weren’t

At least, that’s how it was taken by those who chose to report it.

It was used as a visual aid during Al Gore’s propaganda piece “An Inconvenient Truth”; the only problem is that was yet another simple case of garbage in, garbage out.

Mann’s “hockey stick” graph, first published in 1998, was featured prominently in the U.N. IPCC 2001 climate report. The graph showed a spike in global average temperature in the 20th Century after about 500 years of stability. Skeptics have long claimed Mann’s graph was fraudulent.

Climate change skeptic Dr. Tim Ball called Mann out and as we all know, liberals have no sense of humor when they’re the butt of the joke.

Professor Mann is a climate professor at Penn State University. Mann filed his action in 2010 for Ball’s allegedly libelous statement that Mann “belongs in the state pen, not Penn State.” 
— ClimateChangeDispatch.org, 8/24/19

After years of lawsuits, bolstered by years of Mann’s failure and/or reluctance to offer his hockey stick-climate change research into a courtroom for scrutiny, his case was finally thrown out of court and Mann was required to pay Dr. Ball’s court costs. In reality, this is a VERY big deal, given the media, activist, political craziness that essentially arose from bad data.

In 2003 a Canadian study showed the “hockey stick” curve “is primarily an artifact of poor data handling, obsolete data and incorrect calculation of principal components.” When the data was corrected it showed a warm period in the 15th Century that exceeded the warmth of the 20th Century.

Whoops.

And Dr. Ball’s victory was not just a monetary price paid….

Dr Ball, now affirmed as a courageous champion of honest science, has assured his place in the annals of real climate science. His gift to the world was sacrificing eight of his senior years, when he could have been enjoying his retirement, to exposing key players in the biggest science fraud of all time.
— Principia-Scientific.org, 8/23/19

How huge is this really?

Given the near total blackout of media coverage on this lawsuit resolution, like the Trump-Russia-collusion hoax, some people will never admit they were wrong, especially when millions of taxpayer dollars in the form of education and research grants are at stake. Let’s not even include the political rhetoric surrounding all things “climate change”. Too many people, colleges, laboratories, and activist dot orgs have much to lose should the world ever come to grips with the fact that a disproportionate few are eating quite well off lies.

In his own words, Dr. Tim Ball explains the genesis of the multiple failed lawsuits against him, the use of SLAPP lawsuits to silence any kind of dissent, the lie called that “97% consensus”, the origin and intent of the United Nations’ tyrannical Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the implications for the “climate change” debate, going forward.

Yet another Thank You to Dr. Ball for (as he has done for us many times over the last decade plus) generously giving us his valuable personal time to do what he’s always done best: teach.

We’ve made the case before that it’s very easy to predict events 50 to 100 years from now (or 12) when few will be around to call you on it. Both Al Gore and now Barack Obama have proven they know they’ve been spewing bullshit for years and their actions prove it.

Al Gore predicts that our shores will be flooded and sea-bordering cities will sink beneath the water leaving millions of people homeless. His narration tells the audience that, due to global warming, melting ice could release enough water to cause at 20-foot rise in sea level “in the near future.”
— ScienceLine.org, 12/1/08

As many of us are sensitive and may have experienced something as traumatic as a flooded basement after a freak torrential rain, if you knew a house has the potential to float away “in the near future”, why would you buy it?

That is, if you knew it wasn’t true but saying so could make you a lot of money.

In a move that critics may cite as his own inconvenient truth, former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a house in secluded Montecito, Calif., to their real estate holdings.

The couple spent $8,875,000 on a gated ocean-view villa on 1 1/2 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, according to real estate sources familiar with the deal. The Italian-style house has high ceilings with beams in the public rooms, a family room, a wine cellar, terraces, six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms in more than 6,500 square feet of living space.
— World Property Journal, 5/13/10

Granted, he’s not on the water line per se but when the pending flood arrives, Gore’s home would be in the zone where much tumult would ensue and anyone in his right mind, who truly believed in the whole “rising oceans” thing, would have purchased property far inland. That is, if what he was saying was something he truly believed.

Add former president Barack Obama, who also implored his supporters that there’s this “97% consensus” of scientists who say climate change is real, and he also says the oceans are rising at a perilous rate.

Oceans and their nearby regions are also highly vulnerable to the effects of a changing climate — a once-distant threat that is now very present and is affecting ecosystems and shoreline communities on every coast. Rising sea levels, coastal storms, and a growing risk of erosion and flooding are looming realities faced by seaside towns.
— Barack Obama, Presidential Proclamation: National Oceans Month, 5/31/16

Well, that sounds like a good reason to avoid purchasing property at “shoreline communities on every coast” because of eventual “coastal storms, and a growing risk of erosion and flooding” at “seaside towns”. That is, again, if what he was saying was something he truly believed.

Despite the White House denying it, President Barack Obama is believed to have bought a beachfront Hawaii home with a celebrity past. Located in a secluded section of Honolulu, the property was once used in the filming of the hit television series Magnum P.I.

The property recently sold to a newly-formed LLC, with Marty Nesbitt—a close personal friend of Obama—signing the paperwork. It is likely that Obama bought the home using the LLC and his friend as a proxy. With the President’s term ending in less than two years, the timing gives him (and wife Michelle) just enough time to complete renovations. Either that, or Nesbitt is a big fan of the Aloha State and Magnum P.I., has $8.7M laying around, and shrouds his real estate deals in secrecy. But we wouldn’t bet on that.
— American Luxury, 3/26/15

Now, this house is right on the water; susceptible to a “rising ocean” that would almost totally submerge his home. Not a very good investment for someone who says bad things are coming.

Especially when you do that stupid thing twice….

Barack and Michelle Obama are reportedly trying to buy a sprawling estate in Martha’s Vineyard from Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck. The home is on the market for $14.85 million, and features seven-bedrooms and nine bathrooms inside the 7000 sq ft main residence.

Outside the main house, there’s 29 beachfront acres, a pool, chef’s kitchen, outdoor fireplace, and two guest wings.
— Daily Mail (UK), 8/22/19

Obviously, very few of those who’ve been forced to endure valuable classroom time watching “An Inconvenient Truth” or voted for and supported Barack Obama will ever get an up close and personal opportunity to ask both why they scared the bejeezus out of millions of children, prompting visuals of dying-by-drowning, while millions more try and pick up their lives after losing everything now floating aimlessly out to sea.

But there is always wisdom in some of our most simple of sayings and whomever came up with “Do as I say, not as I do” must have been in close proximity to P. T. Barnum who supposedly said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”.

Speaking of suckers, add President-Select Joe Biden’s “envoy for climate” John Kerry….

John Kerry and wife Teresa Heinz just plunked down a small fortune to purchase a historic property up island, far from the madding crowds that characterize Edgartown and Oak Bluffs in the summer.

Indeed, the former secretary of state, who likes to consider himself a man of the people, will be very hard to find at Seven Gates Farm, an exclusive enclave in Chilmark. Kerry and his wife — using a private trust to negotiate the deal — shelled out $11.75 million for the spectacular 18-acre property overlooking Vineyard Sound.
— Boston Globe, 4/26/17

And when you’re a hypocritical elitist, all you have to add is, “private”.

But when you’re talking about numbers this big, there can’t be just one bad apple. There are probably thousands that just haven’t been outed yet.

The EPA’s highest-paid employee and a leading expert on climate change was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison Wednesday for lying to his bosses and saying he was a CIA spy working in Pakistan so he could avoid doing his real job.
— NBC News, 12/18/13

Funny how there’s brief mention of Beale’s being a “climate change expert” in the NBC News piece. If he did nothing at his job, what does that say about the cause?

Beale, who is serving a 32-month sentence in the federal prison in Cumberland, Md., for pleading guilty to felony theft of government property, spent most of his career devising regulations under the Clean Air Act that are justified by science few have seen and no one has peer-reviewed, according to a report from the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
— Daily Signal, 2/10/15

It also must be nice knowing you can be brazen beyond what no employee in the private sector would get away with in a few days, let alone years, all because you were a great foot soldier for the planet!

Beale, an NYU grad with a masters from Princeton, was earning a salary and bonuses of $206,000 a year, making him the highest paid official at the EPA. He earned more money than the agency’s administrator, Gina McCarthy, according to agency documents.

One of the reports states, Beale took 33 airplane trips between 2003 and 2011, costing the government $266,190. On 70 percent of those, he traveled first class and stayed at high end hotels, charging more than twice the government’s allowed per diem limit. But his expense vouchers were routinely approved by another EPA official, a colleague of Beale’s, whose conduct is now being reviewed by the inspector general, according to congressional investigators briefed on the report.

Top EPA officials, including McCarthy, attended a September 2011 retirement party for Beale and two colleagues aboard a Potomac yacht.
— NBC News, 12/18/13

There were many red flags but when you believe you’re above being questioned and punishment, a federal employee can get away with things very few of us in the real world could… at least for awhile.

Seven weeks after the cruise, Beale told McCarthy that he’d banked some vacation time and would be using it to fill his final months at the EPA. His official retirement, therefore, wouldn’t begin until around January or February 2012.

He went off the radar after that, and everyone assumed he was retired.

But in November 2012, more than a year after the party on the Potomac, an HR employee went to McCarthy with cause for concern: Beale was still drawing a paycheck for his full salary of $206,000, including the 25-percent retention bonus that was supposed to be temporary—years after the incentive should have expired.

Investigators later put dollar amounts on his crimes: $437,901 in fraudulent retention bonuses, $58,127 for the “D.O. Oversight” absences, $8,000 for the parking spot, and so on. Altogether, he cost taxpayers $886,186.
— The Washingtonian, 3/4/14

Unlike businesses in the private sector which must be productive to meet a bottom line, the federal government has no bottom line to meet. When it needs money to keep operating, it seizes its operating capital from taxpayers. The only people keeping them accountable for work actually done is them.

We see how well that worked over the years and there’s NOTHING to convince us it’s not happening now on a grand scale.

UPDATE

It appears not much as changed within the federal government when it comes to those violating public trust for their own personal benefit, and too many are allowed to walk away relatively unpunished with their retirements intact.

Take, for example, the DEA executive who just this week was found to have engaged in nepotism by routing hundreds of thousands of dollars to contractor jobs for his son and retired colleagues or friends.

… authorizing a total of $340,280 in spending, including a raise, specifically for his son’s contractor position; and took actions in contravention of appropriate procedures to hire two former DEA colleagues as contractors in his chain of command, including the spouse of a retired former colleague…
— Findings of Misconduct by a Senior DEA Official for Violating Ethics Regulations

The official also engaged in a “lack of candor,” the investigative file showed. Despite the established wrongdoing, criminal prosecution “was declined” and “the senior DEA official retired from his position.” In short, he kept his retirement benefits.

Likewise, the inspector general had harsh words for the FBI special agent in charge (SAC) who used the bureau’s official garage to perform repairs on his and other employees’ personal vehicles, calling it, among other things, a “dereliction of supervisory responsibility,” and a misuse of tax dollars for “private gain.”

And then there was the FBI lawyer who got caught in an embarrassing criminal act at the Marine Corps barracks (MCB) commissary in Quantico, Va. “The FBI attorney admitted to placing numerous cosmetic items, valued at $257.99 and belonging to the MCB Quantico Exchange, into her purse without the intention to pay for them and did not pay for them before leaving the store. The FBI attorney further admitted that between February 2016 and her arrest in February 2018 she had shoplifted at the MCB Quantico Exchange one to two additional times, and at other private retailers in the area on two to three occasions,” the inspector general reported on May 14.

The investigation concluded her conduct violated federal criminal law and FBI policy regarding unprofessional conduct. But here was the outcome: “Criminal prosecution was deferred pending the FBI attorney’s completion of 125 hours of community service, after which all charges were dismissed.”

Two weeks ago, another DOJ official, an assistant U.S. attorney, escaped charges even after it was documented that he violated federal laws by possessing, transporting and consuming marijuana-laced edibles that he claimed he needed to treat back pain. He also was caught lying about his wrongdoing and ‘fessed up only when his estranged wife threatened him during their divorce proceedings. Nonetheless, “criminal prosecution by federal and state authorities was declined,” the IG reported May 30.

A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
— Associated Press, 6/29/89

While we’re STILL here three decades after that “prediction”, yet it hasn’t stopped the left from ramping up the absurd.

Politicians are supposedly held to account for their actions because they, for the most part, have two to four years to make good on their campaign promises. Imagine what we’d be told if they knew the couldn’t be called on their promises because most of us would literally be dead by the time they were supposed to make good.

That’s exactly what climate alarmists bank on when they make outrageous predictions, especially to captive children in classrooms, devoid of opposing views.

The visuals they present are nothing less than what could be considered child abuse.

There were blatant deceptions used by actual “science” publications until they were called on it and had to issue a retraction.

The calls to arms are sensational. Yes, the climate is changing and it has since the planet was created. What we experience today has been experienced before… LONG before industrialization but that little bit of informational context is almost always left out of the hysterical headlines and classroom presentations.

Headlines predicting imminent doom after many of us are conveniently no longer around to remind them how wrong they were again.

What the impressionable activists-in-the-making are never told are the many predictions that were made loud, proud, and with conviction that DIDN’T come to fruition. Many of these are, again, outrageous forecasts that very few of us will be around to call them on and that was only up until 2014.

They just don’t want anyone to go back and read some of the almost comical predictions that obviously didn’t come to fruition….

So how is it so many supposedly so smart (because they’re “scientists”) get it so wrong, so often, yet they keep pushing something they know they’ll never be held accountable for?

As usual, it all comes down to that pile of never-ending taxpayer money.

According to a recent report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, “Federal funding for climate change research, technology, international assistance, and adaptation has increased from $2.4 billion in 1993 to $11.6 billion in 2014, with an additional $26.1 billion for climate change programs and activities provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009.”

Five years ago, a leftist group called the Climate Policy Initiative issued a study which found that “Global investment in climate change” reached $359 billion that year. Then to give you a sense of how money-hungry these planet-saviors are, the CPI moaned that this spending “falls far short of what’s needed” a number estimated at $5 trillion.
— Heritage Foundation, 12/18/18

That taxpayer money funds federal, state and local environmental agencies, university professors and departments, hundreds of grants for environmental “nonprofits”, and tax breaks for corporations that only have to pledge and make the minimum of compliance expenditures in going “green”.

They’re even messing with our skies on an almost daily basis, without public input or consent, and with seemingly zero concern of the possible health ramifications how their climate meddling will affect all living below their taxpayer-funded experiments.

Because we have those who’ve found another niche cause, driven by raw emotion and the cowardly scaring of children and parents who eventually become active. We have mostly white liberal “scientists” who’ve found a great line of secure employment while never having to produce meaningful data to back up their dire warnings.

Your local meteorologist can’t tell you, with any degree of certainty, what the weather will be in three days yet we’re being told how to alter our behavior based on science that’s found to repeatedly be wrong and those prognosticators have the benefit they’ll never have to answer for why they’re so wrong, so often.

Because… it’s the weather.

This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.
— Senator Barack Obama, 6/3/08

Rising oceans due to global warming has been, and continues to be a consistent talking point despite the varying and debatable causes; almost all that conveniently exclude the obvious: the Sun. But that didn’t stop over a million students from taking a time out in a mass hissy fit, to demand adults do something to save the planet; especially since a top expert has declared we only have 12 years before imminent doom.

The children spoke, Dr. Tim Ball had an opinion, it was short and probably not what they wanted to hear.

Dr. Ball believes we’re now living through the “final phase of the American Revolution”.

Yes, that was a teaser….
