It’s always 10 years off. Then when the foretold apocalypse fails to materialize it’s like “oh sorry the apocalypse has been put off another 10 years. Check back again later”

Kinda like "2 more weeks" until COVID deaths start to spike...

The trick is to place disaster just outside the limits of peoples' memories so if it doesn't happen no one remembers you made the prediction. It's been reduced from 10 years to 2 weeks these days.

Didn't you hear? 100% of the tests that were positive came back positive. Every person with covid had covid. EVERYONE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID that had covid.

See headline: Everyone has covid.

If that's the headline, then I'd like to propose a new opinion piece:

"Everyone has Covid. Nobody is dead. Reopen the fucking country."

I'd be satisfied with moon shoes that don't get me weird stares. I really thought they would catch on.

I blame LA Gear's LA Lights shoes taking the momentum away from moon shoes.

That was a guy from my school’s cousin. His uncle also works at Nintendo. A new Duck Hunt game is coming out. It hasn’t been disclosed in Nintendo Power yet. It’s very hush hush. Don’t tell anyone about it.

It's a scam for manufacturing consent for pre-emptive nationalization of emerging energy sectors, before the technology is viable enough to topple the existing monopolies.

Don't forget, they called for an Ice Age in the 70s. It was on the front cover of Time magazine.

Also don't forget the Acid Rain! It's going to make holes in everyone's roofs. We'll have to wear helmets outside.

Or the killer bees. Soon it may not be safe to go outside anymore.

There's real scientists (physicists) and then there pseudo-scientists (most of them).

Yeah, that was a specific phenomenon with a specific cause, and when we stopped using so much CFCs, the ozone hole went back to mostly normal. It was for sure played as a huge horror story in the fear media back in the day though, the same as all the other climate hysteria... oh no we're all going to have to live in bubble cities and die of skin cancer!!!!

Until there is a formal, multinational apology from every 'climate scientist' that made claims for the last 50 years I will never listen to a word they say.

They have been wrong continuously for 50 years and have never so much as retracted a study, just 'found new data and models'

seperatedFromReality 9 points ago +12 / -3

By the nature of the scientific process a lot of what's known today is complete utter bullshit (in their terms inaccurate). In 5 more years there will be updated information (still bullshit) that they will claim is due to new data and models. The only consistent thing is the fact the "science" was complete bullshit before, is complete bullshit now and in the future will be complete bullshit.

Indeed. Maybe your assumptions about my comments were because of other's who outright deny science? That's not me. I'm using a computer to reply to you, which science provided. I however do not think science in the answer to everything nor treat it like it is. By nature science is flawed because man created it and you can see how it has been abused, twisted and misused in the past by the same people that created it.

Skippious 14 points ago +14 / -0

Remember last year when AOC said we had 10 years to fix the climate or we were all going to die? And then said anyone with two brain cells knew she wasn't being serious about the date? And then repeated the 10 years or die statement again?

Biden never has an original thought, or even a thought, just reads what's scripted.

I almost hope the environment gets to the point of "beyond repair". I'm tired of it always being 10 years away. Fucking do it already and let's live in Mad Max times. At least there'll be less bitching then.

The IPCC claimed the Maldives would be completely under water by 2018.

They aren't.

I like to link people to these live webcams of the catastrophic sea level rise that was predicted in 1989.

OMG! ALL OF THE CAMERAS HAVE GONE BLACK! THEY MUST BE UNDER WATER!!! HOW DARE YOU!?! oh never mind....it's night time. (CNN: How night time is a sign that Climate Change is very real and will murder us all!)

ATTENTION GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISTS:

The following demands are not negotiable. I require a new BMW. A red one. And free cheeseburgers for life. And exemption from all federal, state, and local income taxes.

If my demands are not met, I will buy myself an SUV with the worst gas mileage I can find, and barbecue outdoors every day. Meet my demands, or I will destroy the Earth.

(see, it's all about providing them with the proper motivation..........)

When I was in grade school our 3rd grade teacher played a video that had to do with how the hole in the ozone layer was going to kill us all. It painted a bleak future where the entire planet was desert and if you got into the direct sunlight you would burn alive. Being a young child I was terrified yet it never came to pass and nor has all of the "the sky is falling" scientific or biblical predictions since then. As a young kid with no clue I was scared, but as an adult I just laugh at people claiming the world is going to end in X amount of years as it's probably not going to.

In the 1970's, global cooling was the scare. The coming ice age would bury us beneath miles of ice, as the glaciers advanced as far south as (name someplace). What was the only solution? Abandon modern technology, give political power to unelected bureaucrats, and transfer trillions to the third world.

Then in the 1980's global warming was the scare. Melting ice would raise the sea levels by hundreds of feet, sweeping entire regions off the map as the scorching heat turned farmland into desert. What was the only solution? Abandon modern technology, give political power to unelected bureaucrats, and transfer trillions to the third world.

Then in the 1990's climate change was the scare. The climate would be hot, or cold, or normal, but it would change. What was the only solution? Abandon modern technology, give political power to unelected bureaucrats, and transfer trillions to the third world.

Then in the 2000's climate CHAOS was the scare. Massive swings in temperature would make vast areas of the planet uninhabitable, with hundreds of millions of starving refugees obliterating national borders. What was the only solution? Abandon modern technology, give political power to unelected bureaucrats, and transfer trillions to the third world.

Then in the 2010's the urgency got notched up. If we didn't do something, NOW, the planet would be destroyed. What was the only solution? Abandon modern technology, give political power to unelected bureaucrats, and transfer trillions to the third world.

It's still happening, today. We must stop it. All we have to do is abandon modern technology, give political power to unelected bureaucrats, and transfer trillions to the third world.

It's not about the climate. Never was, never will be. It's about power, and who rules over us.

So if we have 9 years left why are we shutting down our economy? We have no time to waste coming up with solutions.

If we have 9 years left why are we talking about relatively trivial race issues? Our sole focus should be saving the planet.

If we have 9 years left why aren’t we demanding nuclear energy everywhere? This can be our bridge to newer energy technologies.

Oh yes I remember now, it’s all fucking bullshit.

It's also interesting how 2030 is a marked year to the globalists. This covid-19 pandemic is part of the plan to bring in a worldwide government by 2030. This is what Agenda 21 is all about. Before this can happen, shutdowns need to happen during pandemics, it's their way of dealing with climate change. The less things are running, the more it helps the environment. This also destabilizes government and the economy. Now, imagine this covid 19 pandemic lasting for a whole decade, this would forcibly bring in a world government as the whole world economy has become destabilized and censorship becomes so extreme, only authoritative mainstream news would be allowed on platforms. This is what everything is leading up to.

What amazes me is that regular democrats elected Biden over the other yahoos because they believed he was a moderate and because of that he had a chance at beating Trump.

Then the second it becomes clear this fool has the nomination, his handlers (Biden is not in charge of Biden) yank him further left than the commies he just beat!
