…or, warnings of imminent doom by “scientists’ have never proven true. They all stem from politics, either to gain control over the populace, or to gain recognition for one’s career. True story.



1.Today seems an appropriate jump-off for the theme as February 13th, 1766 was the birth date of Thomas Malthus. This early member of the hand-wringers club Malthus originated the view that the food production of the world would increase arithmetically (1-2-3-…), while the human population would increase geometrically (1-2-4-8…). Conclusion: mass starvation and epidemics. Sounds ‘environmental’ already, doesn’t it?
It's a theme.....too many human beings for the environmentalists.




2. I suppose we should include all the (other) pagans who practiced all sorts of machinations including human sacrifice tp propitiate the gods, and save the tribe; killing off folks never been a big deal to pagans and communists.....or is that redundant.





3.And of course, much of environmentalism is paganism, even today where the current fools want us to protect Gaia, Mother Earth….and you can read about the loons vowing not to have children to protect the earth and reduce their carbon footprint.



4.That communist creation, the United Nations….yes, created by Jos. Stalin, so this should be no shock: “A high-ranking member of the U.N.’s Panel on Climate Change admits the group’s primary goal is the redistribution of wealth and not environmental protection or saving the Earth.” More on the IPCC’s Admission that Climate Change Is Really an Excuse for Redistributing Wealth | National Review



5. One of the dopiest ideas in the environmental movement is that the earth can support 7 billion humans. Another of the false doctrines of the Left.

. "The entire world population could fit in the state of Texas and it’d only have the population density of New York City!
There are 6.8 billion people on Earth. Calculations show that if we wanted to make everyone in Earth live on a space that had the same population density as New York City, we could fit everyone in about 666,265 square kilometers, which is less than the size of Texas!.


Not only does that leave the other 49 United States open, but it leaves all the other countries clear and open, too. So, it is pretty safe to say that we have enough space, the entire world except Texas, to farm and ranch for our food supply.



Soooo…..Happy Birthday, to Thomas Malthus……we’re still here!
 
If I wasn't clear enough, Environmentalism is based on either superstition, or politics.......

.....not science.


If you believe the hype, remember to carry your rabbit's foot to save mankind.
 
Somnambulist Alert!


If you keep sleep-walking, you may walk into something.


The election saw the majority awaking from the hypnotice trance of decades of propagnda.
But so far, the electorate is only partly awake......many still accept the hoax of Global Warming.

You've awoken about the economy, the borders, lots of the lies they have told, and you've stopped watching the legacy media.



Now realize that the earth isn't about to burn up.
 
In the words of the Bard, the threats and warnings are no more than "sound and fury, signifying nothing."

The full quote is "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,"



"Report: Decades of Failed Eco-Pocalypse Predictions
Study captures more than 50 years of false claims from environmentalists


The apocalyptic claims of environmentalists have failed repeatedly for decades, but that has not stopped top Democrats from panicking, according to a new study.

…a copy of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2018 report on the effects of global warming…. The IPCC report "paints a far more dire picture of the immediate consequences of climate change than previously thought," according to the New York Times. It has also served as the partial basis of dire predictions from leading liberal politicians.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has predicted that the world will end in 12 years, and that Miami will no longer exist if her Green New Deal is not passed. Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has even suggested people who eat hamburgers and use plastic straws are "part of the problem."

Such dire predictions, the new CEI report said, are nothing new. There is a long history of prominent politicians and scientists predicting imminent crises that never quite come to pass.

…stretches back to infamous Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich's prediction that, as of 1967, it was "already too late for the world to avoid a long period of famine," which he expected to come by 1975. Ehrlich would gain notoriety for similarly dire predictions in his 1968 book The Population Bomb, and for subsequently losing a bet on global scarcity to economist Julian Simon.


Air pollution has been another popular topic of alarm. A number of scientists, including a NASA expert and a whole panel convened at Brown University, predicted that "air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century," in the words of a 1970 Boston Globe report. Air pollution has declined steadily for decades.

In the 1980s, scientists projected both epic floods, with the Maldives under water by the 2010s, and epic droughts, with regions going parched starting in the 1990s. None of these predictions came to pass.

More recent scientists are not immune. The CEI report cites Dr. David Viner, a climate researcher at the University of East Anglia, who in 2000 predicted snowfall would soon become "a very rare and exciting event. … Children just aren't going to know what snow is." In 2008, one NASA scientist told Congress to expect all arctic ice to melt by 2018; that same year, Al Gore predicted it would vanish by 2013. As recently as 2014, the French foreign minister claimed the planet had just "500 days" before climate catastrophe.



Kinda reminds of the 50+ lies and hoaxes the Democrats told for a decade.

There is an adage that we can only judge other by ourselves, using our own thoughts and behavior and expecting it from others. That's why I can't understand Democrats/Liberals/Leftists still believing the Global Warming hoax after this:

For more than 50 years Climate Alarmists in the scientific community and environmental movement have not gotten even one prediction correct, but they do have a perfect record of getting 41 predictions wrong.
