Doom doom doom all the time
Doomsday 9-11? Will only a true catastrophe ignite real climate change action?
Did you hear about the wildfire smoke in New York City? Of course you did. We all did. That’s because New York City is a global media center, an important economic hub for the world, and one of the largest cities on the planet. And the news was stark, startling, amazing: (doomy stuff on the wildfires, which really have nothing to do with ‘climate change’ in the real world)
We are seeing a direct result of climate change and it is directly affecting millions of people in the United States. In the worst-case scenario, people in NYC will find there are days and possibly weeks throughout the summer when they are not be able to go outside without masks and eye protection. They will likely need to buy indoor filtration systems since the smoke leaks into homes, apartments, and offices. Tourism could plummet.
Here is the strange thing. All of this smoke in America’s most important city is not enough to spur any real action on climate change. We do not see a million New Yorkers out protesting in the streets. We do not see any real action from politicians. Even though the smoke makes the city untenable if it continues, no one is proposing that we do anything significant about it.
Compare this reaction to the reaction after the attacks on September 11, 2001. Two airplanes stuck two buildings in New York City and the entire nation was up in arms about it. Think of everything that came in the wake of 9/11 – All kinds of changes and safety measures were put into place, with their own significant costs in terms of time and money.
My first inclination is to write “fuck off” when comparing the climate scam, a minor 1.5F increase in global temperature since 1850, to September 11th. My second is to tell the author to go fuck himself. And WRAL for publishing this crap.
It seems that the only thing that will cause humanity to take significant action, the only thing that will cause us to change, is a true and large-scale catastrophe. We need an event that is large enough, dramatic enough, compelling enough, to cause a true reaction.
September 11, 2001 was such an event. September 11, 2001 was an event with enough magnitude that real change happened. The entire United States came to a halt, then took real action, and the entire world noticed.
Go fuck yourself. Seriously, Marshall Brain should really shove something where the sun doesn’t shine. He then goes on to list a bunch of massive catastrophes in a way that seems as if he’s hoping for them.
Want to know what real climate (scam) action would be? If all the climate cultists went and practiced what they preach. No more fossil fuels. Make their lives carbon neutral. I’m pretty sure WRAL was flying a fossil fueled helicopter over near my area yesterday, where there was a big fire at an old folks home, a massive wreck on Capital Blvd, and a shooting over that way.
Also, anyone comparing the scam to 9.11 can go fuck themselves.
we have got entirely too many people on the planet who contribute nothing but fear to make themselves rich. the real sad part is that people believe that if we give them money and our rights the can CONTROL THE WEATHER AND CLIMATE!!! which is total bullshit.
Like the attack on Pearl Harbor, the direct attacks on America on 11 September 2001 shook Americans to our core. The impacts of that day went far beyond the immediate and subsequent* loss of life, since soon after, the incidence of depression, PTSD and other mental disorders skyrocketed. Psychologists have determined that major societal shocks like the loss of the Civil War for southerners, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 have lasting psychological impacts. 9/11 changed not only the way we live, but the way we experience life. For many Americans 9/11 is an event of mythical proportions.
Note:
The impacts of global warming are cumulative and not over in one day. Mr Teach often references the “the scam, a minor 1.5F increase in global temperature since 1850”. Actually, it’s closer to 2F and still increasing. Either Mr Teach doesn’t understand the import of mean global surface temperature or he is misleading his hapless readers. Wildfires, heat waves, droughts, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, global redistribution of plants, animals, people and diseases, with the worst yet to come.

Approximately 80,000 people are part of the federally-funded WTC Health Program, which provides monitoring and treatments for health conditions that are certified to be related to the September 11th attacks.
“The impacts are cumulative…” So what’s accumulated negatively? Thought so.
None of those events you listed are any worse than they used to be, but in typical cult fashion that doesn’t stop the alarmists from pushing it….
Sure. Deny, deny, deny! LOL.
I won’t “deny” if you can show evidence. Just wake me when you find it. You better organize a search party….
If you are not woke on global warming by now, you never will be. Put your head down and go back to sleep.
Don’t worry, it’s coming. It’s been coming for over 20 years or so..
Teach keeps quoting that 1850 date
Teach the temps have gone up 2/3s of that ride in your own pitifully short lifetime.
The rate of temp change is now over twice that of what it was in the beginning of the industrial revolution
Would you consider that notable?
Sure we do. However, nothing has changed other than the increasing quality of our lives since the beginning of the industrial revolution. So what’s the problem?
We understand you must rant for money for your oligarchic leaders so carry on.
Not at all, Johnny. It’s gone up and down much faster earlier in the Holocene, which you’ve been shown many times yet you keep asking the same question. Anyway, it’s not the rate, but what the rate allegedly “does”. Can you show this “rate” causing anything statistically different than before? No. Here’s how it works-if you could, you wouldn’t have to ask Teach the same question over and over-you’d just show the effects of the rate
[…] it really a cult? YEP!! A Kooky, Crazy Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs kind of KRAZY KOOKY […]
