With all due respect to Steven Hayward, Jerry Brown can’t be the Green Weenie of the Week: this lady is, and should probably be nominated for Green Weenie of the Year (via The New Nostradamus of the North)
(NJ Today) My 12-year old has just asked to participate in another weekly activity thirty minutes away. I try a quick rebuff: “You’re already too busy and it’s too expensive.â€
We’re already into “Mother of the Year” before adding the Warmist agitprop
With more than a bit of adolescent attitude, she replies, “You just don’t want to take the time to drive me.â€
I look at the clock. It’s past 7 p.m. We haven’t eaten dinner, and unfinished homework clutters the kitchen table. There is never a perfect moment to get into the real nitty gritty of why and wherefore. Still, sometimes you have to take the time to give your kids an honest answer to their questions.
“Yes, you’re partly right,†I tell her, and her sister too, who has now wandered in. “I don’t especially want to spend more time carting you around (WT-more mother of the year). But there is another reason. Every time we get in the car we contribute to climate change. By the end of this century – and you may both still be around – climate change is likely to make conditions for life on earth drastically different from what they are today.â€
I pause. It’s gloomy stuff, the state of the environment. Usually I try not to dwell on scientists’ pessimistic planetary forecasts. Nobody, including me, really wants to hear it. Nobody wants to read about it over morning coffee and a doughnut. Nobody wants to tell their kids about it.
What follows is more doom and gloom, the standard unhinged Warmist talking points, yet, Mom of the year still hasn’t given up her fossil fueled vehicle. Weird.
Although this cheers them up a bit, they are smart enough to know that a few leaves of spinach are not going to fix a whole lot. By the end of the conversation, they’re in tears.
How special. And, as NNoN points out “There are probably thousands of similar families, with children in tears after listening to their alarmist parents´ global warming scaremongering.” Warmists do not care. Like most Lefties, they are hyper-narcissistic people who really do not care about anyone else.
Yet, most still refuse to become carbon-neutral. They want you to do that.
Wait. This uber-earth-caring gaia-loving individual, who would go to the ends of the driveway to make her kids cry about CAGW…. … had the audacity to have 2 kids?!
And, how are we even finding out about this? I am assuming of course that being a CAGW-believing warmist that she is, she hand carried her sheepskin manuscript to the hand-pressed printing tent? But then, how did it get digitized and carried out over the coal-fired interwebz?
Yup, 2 kids that apparently spend most of their time in tears.
Now, if a Conservative did this, the kids would be taken away by child services.
