The Political, Media and Educational establishment have done an excellent job of dumbing down people and making them mentally ill.

The best thing you can do for your children, is get them away from that shit and educate them yourself.

Keep in mind, this moron is probably still wearing a mask and has been vaccinated and boosted about 30 times.

You know who understood the "Climate Crisis" perferctly? Hitler.

All this was inspired by the principle – which is quite true within itself – that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.

It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

No.. you don't have to worry about "climate" change.

They would have no fear if they knew God. Understood the plagues, and repented. And this forum can pound me for this all day long but too much that has been promised is happening. These people worry about things that they don't control. But a soul aligned with God is also a good stewards of all that God's providence provides. We're worse than the times of Noah or Sodom and Gomorrah. We kill infants as our right. We are forced to accept all kinds of perversion, that tells God his creation isn't good enough and places us on HIS throne. Pretty bold. Our churches are empty, Christians are being persecuted everywhere. Russia has been burning Christian Churches all over Ukraine. The Euphrates is drying up. What is the ONE THING this stiff necked people refused to do to change climate? Turned to the One who created it. Put on sack clothe, declare a fast, repent of our pride and blasphemies. All these geniuses out there who believe, that a corrupt government, and killing off the populations out there are godless and fruitless. What is coming won't be stopped and we've earned it. You won't hear this proclaimed as an option. But it is the ONLY option.

Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6
On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone
7
while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

8
"Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9
when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10
when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11
when I said, 'This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt'?

12
"Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
13
that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?
14
The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features stand out like those of a garment.
15
The wicked are denied their light,
and their upraised arm is broken.

The mechanism of "man-made climate change" just absolutely falls apart if you take more than 5 seconds to think about.

At best, the most reasonable conclusion that a smart person could come to is "the temperature on the earth is changing and man MAY play a role in it however the role is likely insignificant compared to natural causes and the wide-scale reduction in civilizations ability to provide the power and amenities needed to keep suffering in check and continue the technological innovations needed to reduce carbon emissions, will do more harm than good."

Want to do something actionable to fight climate change? Do one of four things:
1. Protest at the office of California/Oregon/Washington/Idaho/MT legislators to drive them to provide more funding for state and national forest management.
2. Get a group of friends together to volunteer to go clear and grub old, dried vegetation in areas where forest fires may occur.
3. Get a fundraiser going to provide local wildland fire teams with more equipment and more paid volunteers.
4. Get a STEM degree and invent a method to extinguish large-scale fires quickly.

Why the sudden pivot to wildfires?
Average CO2 put into the air by an SUV per year - 4.2 metric tonnes
Forrest fires? 2 gigatons (1 gigaton = 1 billion tonnes)

Don't fucking tell me running an AC or driving an SUV is causing widespread weather disasters that no one can see.

Every few years there’s some manufactured crisis from politicians and the media. Homemade nuclear weapons,, nuclear war with Russia, overpopulation, ozone layer, financial collapse, peak oil, etc.

Every single “crisis” is designed to turn off the thinking side of your brain. And start an overwhelming emotional reaction. Where you give grifter politicians more money and power so they can “solve” it.

Just like televangelists.

Quoted:
Jem, 24, has started losing sleep over the climate emergency. "Over the last two years, I have felt growing anxiety at the state of the environment. It keeps me up at night," Jem, who works in nature conservation in Somerset, says. "I worry about what future I should be planning for."

Jem says it has contributed to them taking medication for their mental health. "I am on antidepressants but I don't think this is a solution. Things like antidepressants can't fix things when it's an external problem. It's the world we have created that is causing these issues.

"Our mental health is so intrinsically tied to everything around us that we constantly see on the news. Even if you try and tune it out, you're not going to be able to. It's so out of our control. I know the science and the stark realities of it. There's no fix to the anxiety because you know [the climate] is going to get worse."

Jem is one of scores of young people who shared their distress over the climate emergency with the Guardian. In a recent survey by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), almost three-quarters (73%) of 16- to 24-year-olds reported that the climate crisis was having a negative effect on their mental health, compared with 61% of all people in the UK. The figures were up from 61% and 55% respectively in 2020.

Perhaps they need to read up on the other "climate emergencies", you know, the ones we were warned about before their parents were probably born.

Anyone remember the Ozone Layer Emergency?

"Rumors of blind sheep—the increased radiation was thought to cause cataracts—and increased skin cancer stoked public fears. “It’s like AIDS from the sky,” a terrified environmentalist told Newsweek’s staff."

I've asked them all about the year without a summer, they never heard of it.

A volcano erupted, there was worldwide famine when crops couldn't be grown because it was literally a year without a summer.

But then guess what. It returned to "normal" (normal is in quotes because there is no normal, it's always in a state of flux)

Things actually were worse when I was a kid, I remember when lake Erie was a fire hazard. Then there was that disaster in Centralia pa.

If the scamdemic has taught me anything it's that people respond to fear. If you play your cards right they will seek out things (real or imagined) to agonize over. They WANT this. That's why we have 24hr fake news channels that people sit in front of and clutch their pearls over.

We aren't the land of the brave, we are the land of timid neurotic pussies, waiting to be controlled. Waiting for someone to tell us the next thing to be afraid of.

And before you know it we are old with one foot in the grave, never having really lived because we were too afraid. Our life, nothing more than a parody of ourselves practicing for our own demise.

what do you expect when they have been the targets of a terrorist campaign their while lives. The liberals use fear to control. In this case it is not fear of direct assault, but fear of complete and utter planetary destruction.

I think part of the problem is that certain animals are prey by nature. Living in fear is their defense mechanism. We have created such a safe world that now they have to use their imagination to create things to fear. If we introduced some actual real things to fear, they would possibly stop going crazy imagining fake stuff to fear. It is kind of funny, but religions are probably part of this whole thing as well. Most religions teach you not to fear reality - as not fearing reality is part of the means to salvation. Meanwhile they try to teach a fear of something else to control behavior.

Take Christianity - we have a belief that we should fear no evil, because God is at our side, while maintaining fear of the Lord. We fear sin because it can cost us our eternal soul, while not fearing death if we are acting within our belief.
