Climate Change? Nahhh ...

How many people were murdered by guns in America during that same time?

 

Good question Baron.

Is it your contention that gun violence is a greater threat than climate change? If yes, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we'd be interested to hear your take on this.

 

Not sure of your angle here YF. Of course it's not the most critical issue. Does that mean that mean we shouldn't work on more than one thing at a time?

 

And if no?

 

"No challenge  poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change," said Obama in his State of the Union speech Tuesday.

Bernie Sanders stood by his claim that climate change is the greatest threat to national security at Saturday night’s Democratic presidential debate.

CBS's John Dickerson, the event's moderator, asked Sanders if he still believes climate change represents the biggest outside threat to U.S. safety one day more than 120 people were killed interrorist attacks on Paris that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has taken credit for.

“Absolutely,” the Vermont senator responded. “Climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism and if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you’re going to see countries all over the world ... struggling over limited amounts of water and land to grow their crops and you’re going to see all kinds of conflict.”

Sanders: Climate change still greatest threat to national security


At Sen. Harry Reid’s National Clean Energy Summit, Clinton called climate change “the most consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face as a nation and a world.”

Which is the most ridiculous proclamation:

1. Chamberlain declaring "Peace in (for) our time" in 1938

B. George Steinbrenner declaring, "I just won you the pennant," after acquiring Ed Whitson in 1985

3. Barack Obama declaring, ""This agreement represents the best chance we’ve had to save the one planet that we’ve got," upon the signing of the paris Climate Agreement in 2015

 

1. "I guess the "no chearing in the press box" rule doesn't apply to environmental journalists."

 

I'm not getting into this since you don't appear to put much stock in the issue. I don't agree that its our most pressing, but for "future generations" I'd say its a pretty critical one. Why is everything either/or with you?

 

Chamberlain got played, but he did wisely buy Britain some time to prepare for a war it wasn't ready to fight in 1938.
At least Steinbrenner did eventually oversee a Yankee dynasty.

The climate change crowd has reached the point where it blames everything on climate change. It's also become a religion unto itself (ironically comprised of a lot of people who don't believe in God), to where anyone who dares question any facet of it is branded an idiotic heretic.
Meanwhile, what it really is, is a shady business dressed up in a nice organic cloth suit. It's biggest product is selling carbon offsets that accomplish what, exactly, to actually improve the environment? Every few years the computer models subtly kick back the date of the end times from 2030, to 2040, to 2050, to 2060, always keeping it just out of reach or even the grasp of people's imagination.
Yes, I'm a skeptic. Not even so much of climate change, but of the hucksters who are trying to profit off it.

 

You know Batman, I agree with so much of what you just said. There are a lot of hucksters out there.

The one thing, though, you can't argue with is that it's getting warmer. Numbers don't lie. Ice caps don't melt for no reason.

You CAN, however, argue over what to do about it.

 

Every leader in the Democratic Party -- and I could give you more examples -- believe that climate change is our greatest threat.

You don't believe it is, but you criticize me for being too black and white on the issue.

Why not have this discussion with the people who declare it to be the greatest threat?

 

You're too black and white on ALL issues. Should I call Obama and tell him my views? I lost his number unfortunately. I don't even know what you are talking about anymore.
