Some Warmists will tell us that the Cult of Climastrology is not prognosticating total doom from ‘climate change’. Strange how it is easy to find articles which have Warmists telling us we are doomed, and I wasn’t even looking for it. Here’s Rhonda Seifert, a “Nurse, researcher, writer, activist, mother, seeker of answers to the “Big Questions—…wait, a mother? Doesn’t she know that rugrats are Bad for ‘climate change’?
Ignoring Climate Change Symptoms Will Lead to Terminal Diagnosis
As a nurse, I can tell you how hard it is to be present when someone is getting the news of a terminal diagnosis. Worse yet is when there were signs, many of them, that were ignored. Signs that, had they acted, would have likely resulted in a very different outcome. What is it that causes one person to ignore the signs until it is too late, while another seeks help and gets a cure?
Recently, I have had some well-meaning friends and family tell me that I worry too much about climate change. That I can’t do anything about it, so I need to stop worrying. Every part of me that is a mother and every part that is a nurse wants to yell back, “No! Don’t you say that.â€
Ignoring symptoms of climate change, or denying that it is happening, does not help us any more than it helps someone with early signs of cancer. Telling each other to stop worrying about it is not going to save us. It is not going to save our children. The only way that we can save ourselves is if we face this difficult and scary diagnosis. Climate change is happening. It’s happening right now. And if we keep ignoring this problem, it will become a terminal diagnosis.
Uh huh
You probably know some of the early cancer signs. Do you know what some of the signs of climate change are? These are 10 common signs: 1) Higher Temperatures, 2) Changing Rain and Snow Patterns, 3) Rising Sea Levels, 4) Increase in Droughts, 5) Warmer Oceans, 5) Extreme Weather, 7) Increased Ocean Acidity, 8) Shrinking Sea Ice and Melting Glaciers, 9) More Severe Fire Seasons, and 10) Less Snowpack.
None of which proves anthropogenic causation. Let’s quickly note that seas are rising less than expected during a Holocene warm period. Extreme weather is not happening, in fact, it seems to be less extreme. Fire seasons are not worse. Ocean acidity is not happening, and corals actually evolved during a time of higher seas with higher temperatures. There are other points, but, you’ve read them all before. No rock solid proof of Mankind-induced causation.
Of course, Ms. Seifert offers 7 things you can do. Most are simply spreading awareness, such as #7, which advocates annoying your friends and family with non-stop yammering. And
4. Find out what you can do personally to reduce your carbon footprint at Carbon Fund.
Interestingly, the ideas at the link do not include giving up your fossil fueled travel and making your life carbon neutral. They just have little ideas to do things, which are really more of being environmentally friendly, which is separate from the ‘climate change’ doomathon. The do have ideas how to ruin your wedding, though. We also get
5. Even better, support legislation that will correctly price the cost of carbon such as CCL’s Carbon Fee and Dividend (CFD).
Is anyone shocked that a Warmist would push a carbon tax? This seems to be a favorite method. This one is cute in that it advocates “Use a border adjustment to discourage business relocation.” It’s like they want to control everything with Big Government.
