Americans Are Rejecting Climate Alarmism

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 5/10/2024 9:32:45 AM

A new Monmouth University poll doesn’t portend well for climate alarmists: The climate crisis narrative, unsurprisingly, isn’t selling well - or at all - with the American people. Monmouth explained, “Less than half (46 percent) of the American public sees climate change as a very serious problem.” This is down for every voting demographic group–Republicans, independents, and even Democrats. And the survey found that support for government action to fight climate change - like the Inflation Reduction Act and Biden administration net-zero directives - also has fallen.

The climatechange/globalwarming scam is of no importance to people struggling with the ever increasing inflation.

People do not want to let an EV car limit their freedom to travel, and most can't afford them anyway. For decades we have seen the government us "global warming", "AGW", and "climate change" as arguments to deny us the efficient and reliable automobiles and other appliances we used to take for granted. Most of us knew this was a hoax as soon as they started regulating CO2.

Should be pretty obvious right now that we are being played for fools. Every climate "remedy" proposed is just more socialism and misery.

Carbon dioxide is a beneficial trace gas, not any kind of a pollutant. More CO2 causes more green plant growth, a more vibrant and wonderful environment and higher crop yields. For most of the last 1 million years, there has been far, far more CO2 in the atmosphere than now. These climate crazies are pushing fraud and lies for personal financial and power gains.

I'm so old I remember the ozone hole, acid rain, global cooling and global warming. When none of them seemed to cause much harm, the elite came up with climate change and made it the boogie man that causes all the evil in the world. Call me cynical. I used to play out in the field behind our house and I found lots of crinoid fossils. I live in Kentucky and way back when, it was underwater. Of course climate has changed.

Ha! If you think support for the climate clowns is down now? Wait until the power goes out and people start freezing to death or dying of heat stroke because of these yo-yos! Wait until people can't get from point A to point B, or get enough food. Methinks the climate clowns will be in heap big hot water by then. Btw, twenty times as many people die from cold than heat. For more info, look up a massive study published in The Lancet which utilized data from 74 million deaths in 384 different locations in 13 countries over the period of 1985 to 2012. This also begs the question of why would we not want a warmer climate? Oh yeah, the National Weather Service (or NOAA) did a study which indicated more people die of heat than cold. First off, the study wasn't nearly as extensive, and not based in medicine like the Lancet study, and coming from a governmental agency I wouldn't trust it regardless of their conclusions.

The term "Climate Change" is passe. It would include natural as well as man made changes in the climate. The new preferred is "Climate Disruption" because it imply that evil anti science people are causing the dreaded change. I don't deny Climate Change. I adore it. If it weren't for Climate Change I would have to run out of the front door of my house each morning and yell at the Wooly Mammoths to get their wooly behinds off my yard. Them things is mean.

The climate hoax is very destructive. It cheapens the quality and increases the price of many essential goods, not due to Constitutionally enacted laws, but by EPA regulations.

Iran's Mullahs Desperate for Nuclear Weapons,
Do Not Believe Anything Else
4 replies
Posted by 4250Luis 5/11/2024 1:50:37 PM Post Reply
Ayatollah Khamenei's initial issuance of a fatwa against nuclear weapons coincided with damning revelations in 2002: Iran was exposed clandestinely engaging in nuclear activities, including uranium enrichment, at covert facilities in Natanz and Arak. These activities flamboyantly violated the principles outlined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to which Iran was a signatory. The timing of Khamenei's fatwa should only raise questions about its authenticity and underlying motive: it likely an attempt to mitigate international backlash and deflect scrutiny away from Iran's covert nuclear endeavors. Iran's constitution explicitly mandates that both the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps are not only tasked with safeguarding the nation's frontiers,

The steadily rising price of a dozen eggs at your favorite supermarket is just about all you need to know. There are big problems in the domestic poultry industry. When the price recently jumped to $5 a dozen, it signaled another outbreak of the bird flu. The bird-flu (highly pathogenic form of avian influenza) outbreaks are wreaking havoc on laying flocks of leghorns (white eggs) and Rhode Island reds (brown eggs) after being exposed to the virus introduced by wild birds (migratory ducks and geese passing it on to resident birds and then to the hen houses). Newsmax recently posted an article describing how the TypeA H5N1 influenza virus,

You don’t need to follow the Stormy Daniels trial because you already know it’s a trainwreck. The jury selection process was a disaster, and this case is why we shouldn’t have political trials. No one can be impartial. It shouldn’t shock anyone if Trump is convicted since the pool seems to be comprised of left-leaning, Trump-hating consumers of liberal media. It’s the weakest case against the former president, but with the lawfare front waning for liberals, they will give it everything they have. You’d think Trump kidnapped the Lindbergh baby regarding the hyperbolic coverage. We knew this trial was going to be a circus.

Its parent group is also the target of a lawsuit by survivors and families of victims of the October 7 terror attack that alleges SJP is a propaganda front for Hamas in the U.S.

It must have felt so good when Mike Johnson began his daily routine Thursday refreshing the home page of The New York Times and seeing his face at the very top accompanied by an article heralding him as “Speaker of the whole House” following Democrats’ rescue of his job. If this isn’t what he lives for, I’m not sure what is. It’s certainly not to do anything remotely in the interest of Republican voters. Since he was elected speaker six months ago, Johnson’s victories are limited to voting to fully fund Joe Biden’s back-breaking agenda, heaping 60 billion more taxpayer dollars into a corrupt slush fund (sometimes called “Ukraine”)

A teenage anti-Israel protester who vandalized a World War I memorial in Central Park earlier this week has been arrested, according to the NYPD and police sources. The 16-year-old boy was charged with criminal mischief in the third degree, a felony, and making graffiti, which is a misdemeanor, for allegedly defacing the 107th Infantry Memorial during an unruly demonstration on Monday night. The youngster has been a regular face at rallies organized by the anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime, according to sources.

These assaults are not only aimed at Israel and its inhabitants but, ultimately, at the West. Adversaries of the West -- whether religious fundamentalists or authoritarian states such as China, Russia, and Iran and its allies -- appear intent upon imposing a new totalitarian world order. To do so, they seek destruction of the two main countries standing in their way: United States of America and Israel, the global champions of democracy, freedom, Western values, and human rights. Regrettably, with freedom often comes the need to protect it, at times by force, from those who would take it away.

Two-term U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz won a contentious Republican primary to defend her seat just months after she decided to run for reelection in a campaign that focused attention on her opposition to sending aid to her native Ukraine. She defeated eight rival Republicans to secure her place on the ballot this fall in a solidly Republican district. The first and only Ukrainian-born House member, Spartz previously backed support for the country. But ahead of her primary contest, she reversed her position and voted against sending $61 billion in aid to Ukraine.

Bret Stephens warned his New York Times readers on Friday that Presidentish Joe Biden "just made his biggest blunder" when he paused delivery of more than 3,000 much-needed aerial bombs to Israel this week.

That's why Stephens has to include phrases like Biden's "laudable motive" and to remind readers that the absolute worst part is that the suspension is "a political gift to Donald Trump."

The issue arose after Johnston petitioned to have the group moved to more permanent shelters.
