Greta Thunberg,
was this blog's
Climate Buffoon
of the Year for 2019.
She had this to say
in February 2020,
at a Bristol, UK
climate protest:
“I will not
be silenced
while the world
is on fire – will you?
This emergency
is being
completely ignored
by the politicians,
the media and
those in power.”
Clueless, as usual,
how can high school
dropout Ms. Thunberg
complain that climate
change is being
"completely ignored" ?
This blog exists because
climate change is NOT
being ignored !
Your editor can't tolerate
leftists lying about the
climate, in an effort to
increase government
power, to more
effectively control
the citizens.
Since the first Earth Day,
the U.S. has cleaned up
the air and the water,
restricted use of
toxic chemicals,
and protected
ecosystems.
The air in Chinese
and Indian cities,
however,
like the plastic
in Asian rivers,
is far worse
than on Earth Day,
many decades ago.
Politicians have made
lots of promises to portray
themselves as 'green'.
COSTS:
There are very few things
that governments can do
to slow the growth of
greenhouse gas emissions
without imposing high costs,
such as halting economic
growth.
BENEFITS:
Even if we did meet
Paris Accords goals
(under +2 degrees C.),
the alarmists’ computer
models say the increase
in the global average
temperature by 2100
would only be one or
two tenths of a degree C.
Governments HAVE acted.
They put billions of dollars
into alternative energy.
They have climate change
propaganda campaigns.
But solar and wind
aren’t delivering much.
And the climate models’
predictions continue
grossly over-predicting
global warming.
So the claim that
climate change is
"completely ignored
by the politicians",
is a fantasy.
Just like the coming
climate change crisis
... has been a fantasy
for over 50 years !
