Pursuant to the above is a very interesting article that makes sense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Greenlash" is Here; Democrats take note.

 

[...] "Well, that's Europe—couldn't happen here".  But not only could it happen here it is happening here.  Trump is running aggressively against Biden on exactly the same climate/energy issues and in exactly the same way as the right populists in Europe.  And he's getting traction.  Voters really don't want to be forced, directly or indirectly, to get an electric vehicle when they're perfectly happy with their internal combustion car.  Voters really do care, above all, about cheap energy prices, not the provenance of that energy.  And fundamentally most voters simply do not care that much about climate change as an issue relative to other issues like the cost-of-living.  [...]

I call BS on this statement in the article.  There is no way Greta did this by herself.

 

That movement, started by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, called on school students to quit classes each Friday and saw millions join marches around the world in 2018-19.

BREAKING:  Eco-Terrorists Dump Paint on 18th Green During Finish of PGA Final Round (Video)

 

[...] On Sunday, I was watching the final round of the signature golf tournament in Connecticut – The Travelers.  The best golfers on the planet, Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim, were in a battle for the win.  Kim was one stroke behind and Schefler needed a birdie to seal the win.  As both men were sizing up their puts, a group of eco-terrorists jumped out of the crowd, surrounded the 18th green, and stormed out toward the green.  The first jerk had a flare in hand, and two others had paint; they rushed onto the green, dumping red and white paint.

 

Here is what happened:  [...]

These eco-terrorists need to be careful in riling up the Swifties.

Global cooling and global warming happening at the same time.  Progress?

 

Oops! Washington Post: ‘We’ve been accidentally cooling the planet’ – ‘Burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming — it also causes global cooling’

 

But fewer people know that burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming — it also causes global cooling. It is one of the great ironies of climate change that air pollution, which has killed tens of millions, has also curbed some of the worst effects of a warming planet.

Denmark Taxes Cow Farts Because Everything Is Absurd

 

In today's stupidest news, the tiny Scandinavian nation of Denmark will impose the world's first greenhouse gas tax on livestock farmers — with the accent on "gas."

 

Beginning in 2030, Danish farmers will be taxed for "the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep, and pigs" via their rear ends.  The gasses, not the taxes.  The taxes come from Copenhagen's rear end.

Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus, according to the AP report, said the country aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 30% of 1990 levels by 2030.  And they'll achieve that goal, at least in part, by taxing cow farts.  [...]

Liberal In Private Jet Upset As He Looks Down And Sees All The Cows Causing Climate Change

 

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA — Several members of the household staff of Gerald C. Pennyworth IV report that their employer, a white liberal, was recently rendered "extremely put-out" after he chanced to look out the window of his private jet and saw a number of cows causing climate change.

According to sources, Pennyworth began raving about how cows and cow farmers seemed to be set on destroying our planet while storming up and down the aisle of his private airplane [...]
