Of course, this is about the Coming Ice Age Of 1970.
Then there’s this one, more trenchantly stated:
Five hundred years ago, no one was driving, flying, using plastic bags or gas stoves. Electric vehicles were not a thing yet. The only vehicle was a horse, possibly pulling a carriage. There was even less CO2 activity 5000 years ago or 5 million years ago. Yet the climate was changing back then. How does science explain that? Or are they making things up now?
I’ll take that last one for $400, Alex.
Fucking charlatans.
….. fon’t forget
The Population Bomb…….. when there were all those famines
Peak oil … when all the wells went dry
Y2K ….. well that one was good for a buch of double OT
The end of the mayan calendar.
Various 2nd comings…
Ebola …
I’m sure I’m missing some.
Predicting the future is HARD. and mostly wrong.
Regarding Y2K, I met and talked to Peter de Jager once. He told me that there was more behind the scenes that TPTB didn’t want known. Inasmuch as he didn’t haave a book or podcast to flack, I believed him, and invited him back to my little town to drink on my dime if he spilled the tea on it. YMMV.
Stay safe
Y2K wasn’t a disaster because of a whole lot of people working hard to head off problems before they started. Likewise, the peak oil predicted in the 1970’s didn’t happen because oilmen were drilling deeper, going to oilfields even worse to live in than Saudi Arabia, and inventing slant drilling and fracking – not out of altruism, but because the price of oil was shooting up and you needed oil to profit from that. (They kind of overdid it; in the 1980’s there was a glut and oilmen that had lost sight of cost control to bring in the new wells quicker were going bankrupt everywhere.) Famines didn’t happen (except where governments effed agriculture, or distribution or sales food) because of the Green Revolution: university research scientists and many for-profit seed, fertilizer, pesticide, and farm equipment companies worked together to raise farm yields, often by double or triple – and they’re still improving that.
In other words, every “sky is going to fall” prediction assumes no one is going to do anything about it, but if you let free markets work, people _are_ going to work hard to become rich by doing something about it. IF it’s a real problem, not bad science, fake science, and the Global Warming crowd’s fanaticism, which is worse than when my Jehovah’s Witness grandparents gave everything away and waited for the end of the world.
Hey c’mon man, we gotta take this global climate change, warming, whatever the fuck buzzword it’s named now seriously.
Because… we all know that the dinosaurs ended themselves by driving around in big gas guzzling SUV’s and trucks. You see the Big T Rex ate all the meat of their prey and then processed the bones into fossil fuels for their gas guzzling vehicles. They wrecked the planet and caused and ice age with lead to their demise.
Are humans repeating the history of the dinosaurs?
Seriously. Liberals are mentally ill. I’m not gonna drive one of those fucking electric vehicles powered by dildo batteries.
Gas for me. Gas engines 4 life.
And if you believe a little CO2 is causing “climate change” you need medication. The rest of us sane people want to live our lives without being bombarded with fear mongering about fossil fuels being evil while at the same time being told how men can have vaginas and women can have penis’s.
Liberalism is a mental disease. Common sense is the cure.
“Common sense is the cure.”
I have to respectfully disagree.
A different C word is the cure – consequences; immediate, harsh, physical, legal and financial consequences visited upon the perpetrators of these wokist frauds will cure them of their disease. Most Leftists believe they are too elite to be bound by their Utopian fantasies, yet are willing to heap them upon us to assuage their egos and consciences believing that they are doing good for our sake.
I fear the hard core wokists won’t disavow their religion even with most commonplace consequences, and will be forced to put their money where their whiney, energy-hating mouths are by being forced to live in hollow logs for shelter and feed themselves by grubbing for worms with sticks. That will suit me just fine. Maybe we could fence them in and charge admission to watch them starve or freeze. I’d pay big bucks to see Jean Fwench Querry so inconvenienced.
As a lifelong resident of South Texas, I remember hearing about the coming ice age as a child in the 70’s and thinking “Thank God, let’s get a little cooler weather down here”. Imagine my disappointment when it all turned out to be bullshit.
The problem is that these enviromental whackos do not suffer any consequences for being wrong. They certainly put the “mental” in the word environmental.

Fuck these whacko environMENTALists
For those with an open mind on climate here are several sources to examine.
Inconvenient Facts: The science that Al Gore doesn’t want you to know (Great book with scary charts that have different colored lines on them)
Climate Depot.com (online resource)
Finally to put the fear of God into you watch some videos on YT (or wherever) of Randall Carlson
I’m told there have been at least 30 advances and retreats of polar ice in the Quaternary geologic period.
Variously described as glacial stages and interglacials, briefer periods called stadials and interstadials. Modern man didn’t exist during any except the last warming interstadial.
How does anthropospoofing globuscular warmening account for that?
There you go, bringing facts, history and geology into an emotional argument.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
There’s an interesting theory that lack of a human activity may have affected climate about that time.
To wit: European discovery of the Americas introduced contagious diseases which the native population had no immunity to. This resulted in a huge population loss. (On the order of 90%, mostly where white people couldn’t see it; only recently has the actual scale of it been recognized.) Vast areas of cultivated land reverted to wilderness, becoming reforested. The reforestation sequestered a lot of CO2, with climatic effects.
