Think about it. Here’s the Boston Herald’s Howie Carr discussing Gov. Deval Patrick wanting to hire an official state weatherman to deal with “climate change” (via Tom Nelson)
Wait a second, some of you may be saying, that Tim Murray snowstorm was in October, so how can it be global warming? If anything, it’s global cooling.
Which is why the moonbats changed the name. The latest iteration is “climate catastrophe.†You remember the movie “Apocalypse Now� Climate catastrophe is Apocalypse Down the Road.
So the way it works now is, if it’s hot, it’s climate catastrophe. If it’s cold, it’s climate catastrophe. If it rains a lot, or if it’s not raining — well, you get the picture.
Why do you think the same moonbats pushing climate catastrophe also want to legalize pot? It’s a lot easier to put this three-card monte game over on couch potatoes who are so stoned they can’t remember what happened 10 minutes ago.
Come to think of it, they sound a lot like Deval’s voters.
Now, not all who want to legalize pot are climate hysterics. Certainly, there are some Libertarians who advocate legalizing pot (and most drugs). There are some, like myself, who couldn’t care less one way or the other about legalizing pot. Yet, it is certainly liberals who are pushing hard to legalize it. But, really, the main point is that Warmists have determined that everything is “climate change”. Man caused. Because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle to work instead of biking 20 miles. And forgot to unplug every appliance at home. And used hair spray. And took a 5 minute shower. Used more than 2 pieces of toilet paper. Your fault. Not the fault of Warmists who do the same, because they “spread awareness”. Your fault that there was a big snowstorm in October.
Interestingly, these same leftists are pitching a fit over the use of electronic cigarettes at the Golden Globes, like they did with cigarettes. Yet, they want pot to be legal. Which is weird, because people get the munchies while stoned. And want food like pizza. Which makes people fat. And fat people are Bad for “climate change”.

The term (climate change) is used with such vagueness that it could never be used in a scientific experiment to meet Karl Popper’s test of falsifiability. The term has been made so politically correct that it has become Orwellian doublespeak.
Climate change has little to do with science and the scientific method. It provides for no falsifiability. It is circular logic. Ask any Warmist what conditions would disprove “climate change”. So far, they haven’t provided specific conditions. Wayne goes on to fully define “climate change”
Karl Marx was right about one observation. People use ideologies as covers for economic conflicts, although such conflicts are not the sole driving force of history.
Climate change is an ideology in a trade war between a cartel of basin topography states with smoggy cities that don’t want to depend on imported fossil fuel and electricity and plains states that rely on indigenous abundant fossil fuels and can export it to basin states.
“Climate change,†unpacked, is an ideological smokescreen from the reality of this trade war and used to gain political legitimacy for uneconomic alternative energy.
I’m not sure I fully agree with his conclusion as such, but it is true that “climate change” is a trade war between the Left and Right, with the left using the notion of Hotcoldwetdry to institute hardcore Progressive (nice fascism) economic, political, and social ideals on Everyone Else. Not on themselves, of course.
So climate realists are pushing pot legalization because stoners are easier to manipulate. Is there anything so stupid that a right-wing nutjob won’t type it?
It’s like saying that Conservatives support cigarette companies because they kill people thus reducing the burdens on social security and medicare, thus reducing taxes on rich people.
It’s like saying that Conservatives support war because it stimulates the economy adding money to the pockets of rich people (with the added bonus of killing young folks who won’t collect social security and medicare, thus reducing taxes on rich people).
I might take issue with you on this assumption. The original laws that took away our freedom to purchase medications were formulated by the progressives under Wilson. They were the same that prohibited alcohol. Our drug policy is creating more problems than it solves and should be discarded. Many on the right think this is morally wrong or might result in problems. I will not. Those on the left, at least the core group that desire communism, will stick to the drug regulation scheme that we have. They love it. After decades of dealing with druggies, my attitude is give them what they want. Currently, we are not allowing those that need pain care and other medical issues the ability to get needed medication due to excessive government regulation. I know several friends that have been sent to prison or fined heavily just for helping out their patients. There is not a single reason to not deregulate drugs completely, and allow free access to what people need and want. Many countries are doing this and there drug problems are gone.
Its all about destruction of society and allowing society to destroy itself from within. A drugged, stoned, society is more easily controlled.
