Some people never give up. Climate change doomsaying virtually disappeared the day Donald Trump took office. Why? Well, that’s simple – the money dried up. Without government money, nobody wants an E.V. Manufacturers are backing out in a big hurry. Oh sure, there are some still trying to tell us that all the meat we eat will end the planet, but no one is listening. If you have made a living for a long time now claiming that the sky is falling and begging the government to keep giving you money to say so, what do you do? Why you up the ante!
Comes a story from the south Pacific that a vault we built to house the radioactive debris from our nuclear testing there is leaking just a bit and – here it is, drum roll please – there is “concern” the atoll may be submerged by rising sea levels, breaching the vault and causing all that radioactive debris to spill out. I am honestly surprised that no one mentions the possibility of such an occurrence creating a gigantic, reptilian creature that occasional appears from the sea to hold a massive professional wrestling match, er battle with other giant mutates, destroying whole cities in the process. (I think you-know-who is trademarked, so I won’t say his name – wink, nudge, wink, nudge.)
Maybe the whole massive reptile thing is pushing the narrative just a bit too far? Maybe?
I have said many times that the whole climate change political movement is a wealth transfer scam – and that’s all it is. That’s not a denial of our influence on the climate, but that’s not the point. Using that fact of that influence to leverage the expenditure of trillions of dollars in thousands of directions is a scam. That is particularly true when the extent and effect of the influence is barely understood and what is understood is so complex and so obfuscated by the reactionary scamming that we don’t actually have a clue.
The fact that the noise level rises and falls in accordance to the receptiveness of the government to more wealth transfer ideas is actually all the evidence you need that the thing is a scam. If the “crisis” was real and immediate do you honestly think the hubbub would go so silent so fast?
Meanwhile, sometimes things with very low odds actually happen – a meteor crashed into a woman’s house in Houston this week. It is estimated that there are only about 500 meteorites that make actual impact on the planet annually, and of those only five or six leave behind recoverable debris – and far fewer strike in populated areas. Those numbers are a lot more solid that climate change predictions, but no one is lobbying for trillions to build a safety net over cities because it is cheaper to cope with the very occasional strike that prevent it.
What I don’t understand is there are lots of honest ways to make a living. Why do some people find it necessary to scam governments, and therefore the citizens of a country out of untold sums? It’s not like its easier than getting a real job.
