If you're under 40, likely as not you've lived your entire lives afraid of Global Warming. Or Climate Change. Or Climate Chaos. Or whatever the Democrats' poll-tested name for it is today.
During your life you've been told to fear a New Ice Age. And the Melting of Glaciers. And Miami being washed away by rising oceans. And none of these things have happened.
If the weather is bad, it's CO2's fault. If the weather's good, just wait; it'll get worse. Every tornado and cyclone and sandstorm and hurricane is caused by CO2. Which we're told is our fault. It's sort of like Chicken Little's pronouncement:
"The Sky is Falling!"
You will die in a fiery Hell of our own making. Or so they tell you. Well, let's look at the facts for a change, shall we?
- 78% of our atmosphere is Nitrogen.
- 11% of our atmosphere is Oxygen.
- 0.93% of our atmosphere is Argon
- 0.042% of our atmosphere is Carbon Dioxide.
- And mankind, all 8.0 Billion of us, is responsible for...wait for it...11% of that total.
- And between India and China and Russia, they're responsible for...wait for it...51% of total CO2 emissions.
- And lastly, America is responsible, they tell us, for 20% of all CO2 emissions. A number that's been going down each and every year since 1972, the year we took the lead out of gasoline. And 1976, the year we began installing catalytic converters on our cars.
So let's think about it: We Americans are supposedly responsible for twenty percent of eleven percent of four hundredths of one percent of all CO2 emissions.
That, my Fellow Patriots, is a number almost too small to calculate.
And because of that we're supposed to change our whole way of life. We're supposed to stop making Internal Combustion Engines and start buying Plug-In Electric Cars. Which cost much more, are more expensive to build and to buy, are dangerous to drive, cannot be disposed of in our garbage dumps, require rare Earth minerals to manufacture, which we don't have, and may spontaneously combust, killing all on board.
But California just loves them. Of course. It also loves having boys compete in girls sports and then shower with them afterwards, doncha' know.
I might add about here that bovine flatulence and volcano eruptions produce far more CO2 than all humans put together.
And how many $Billions of our hard-earned Tax Dollars have been spent to "fix" that? Maybe $Trillions?
And through it all, I'd like to know if anyone's noticed it getting WARMER? Anyone? Raise your hands, anyone?
Climate activists need to go home, sit down in their Barcaloungers, open up a Bud (or a sauvignon blanc) and rethink their entire lives. They need to go get a job and begin contributing to society, instead of tearing it down. They need to stop gluing their hands to Old Masters and Interstate Highways and start protesting against Elon Musk for being smart. Or Tim Walz for being dumb. Or cows for farting. Or volcanoes for spewing forth their various gasses (Mount Aetna just erupted for the 12th time this Century).
You'll do far more good, if that's your goal...
