Remember When Americans Used Common Sense?

 November 14, 2022 By Mychal Massie @ Daily Rant 

Common sense is the God-given healthy nutrient needed to recognize insanity when one sees it.  I say this in no way marginalizing the Word of God, which has from the beginning spoke to the depth of demonic insanity man would devolve to accept under the guise of science and intellectuality.

I was raised in a day and age that people understood the weather was cyclical and that throughout the lifespan of people we would experience weather patterns that hadn’t been witnessed for varied periods of time.

I remember the old sayings and observations that were more accurate than the weather forecasts of today that are based upon millions of dollars of weather satellites and computers that get it wrong more often than not.  I’m not cynical; I’m a Christian with common sense.

I don’t need a Harvard or Princeton degree to know what weather patterns are developing based upon my sinuses and my joints.

I vividly remember when the environmental lunatics pretended to be concerned about the welfare of Bald Eagles and other birds that were supposedly endangered due to whatever threat they came up with at the time.  Consider how quickly the supposed threat disappeared when wind turbines became the latest craze that would supposedly benefit the planet.

The fact that wind turbines are now slaughter massive numbers of birds including the Eagle is ignored by the environmental loons as long as more wind turbines are erected.

Which brings me to the climate.  The wannabe God complex of these people is unambiguous.  A New York Times headline predicted “Everyone Will Disappear In A Cloud Of Blue Steam By 1989” because of an alleged scientific consensus over impending apocalypse from environmental pollution.

In 1970, environmentalists predicted, in another newspaper headline, “America Subject To Water Rationing By 1974 And Food Rationing By 1980.”

In 1970, scientists working for NASA and the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research warned of an impending New Ice Age by the year 2000.

A 1974 Time magazine headline warned of “Another Ice Age?” and Britain’s The Guardian science reporter headlined, “Space Satellites Show New Ice Age Coming Fast.” Brown University’s Department of Geology warned of an imminent New Ice Age in a letter to President Nixon.

In 1988, environmental scientists predicted disappearance of the Maldive Islands: “A gradual rise in average sea level is threatening to completely cover this Indian Ocean nation of 1196 small islands within the next 30 years.”

In 1989, U.N. environmental experts told the Associated Press: “Rising Seas Could Obliterate Nations” by the year 2000. Part of New York City was supposed to be submerged by 2019.

In 2004, climate hoaxers predicted Britain would be like Siberia by 2020.

So they resolved God’s epic record of failure to bring about their predictions by renaming their hoax “climate change.” Now every storm, snowflake, gust of wind and temperature change is identified as climate change. Never again will they be wrong, no matter how many times their prognostications don’t occur, because climate change is the villain.

It wasn’t necessary for me to read Bob Unruh’s highly informative article: ‘Climate cult’ meeting is ‘all about depopulation,’ to realize anything liars and environmental Mohocks like John Kerry scurry off to in their private jets portends negatively for you and I.  See also: There Will Be No Climate Amnesty by Jason Isaac.

It is common sense to me: these people are a far cry from being “world leaders” as they brand themselves, rather they are “world con-men and charlatans” staying at the opulent environs of Sharm El Sheikh, for COP27, the United Nations’ climate-change conference.

I submit that this isn’t a conference as the idea of a conference at one time conveyed.  This so-called climate conference was a gathering of the world’s most elite to showoff who has the most expensive toys and design a way to rob us blind.

My God-given common sense dictates that I won’t submit to their pathology of abject insanity.  I was raised to understand that ‘crazy’ wasn’t something to be modeled or emulated.  The followers of this climate madness are those who will benefit from it and those who base their self-esteem on modeling the schizophrenic bi-polar insanity of others.

Fat-Al Gore, the former vice-president who did his best work allegedly seeking the sexual gratification of masseuse, pocketed mountains of cash in his global emissions, greenhouse emissions and global warming lies.

Common sense tells me that the idea of there being food shortages is a lie from the pit of hell.  The only way we have food shortages is if they’re manipulated and created for personal gain and/or to control the population.  People who believe such foolishness haven’t drunk the proverbial Kool-Aid; they’ve drunk the liquid waste drunks leave in allies.

Fossil fuels cannot be replaced by electric.  It takes fossil fuels to produce the energy required to have electric vehicles.  As for greenhouse emissions, I submit we could make the entire west coast a cattle farm and the cattle would still not produce enough flatulence to impact the United States much less the world as the claims coming out of New Zealand claimed some years ago.

As a child watching Flash Gordon et al I knew the idea of flying vehicles back and forth from city to city and town-to-town was fantasyland regardless of what the actors claimed during commercials.  Today people pay massive amounts of money to be brainwashed in colleges and universities into believing such travel will be a reality.

The United Nations is a charade created to give the illusion of global security and global wellbeing.  In reality it is a demonic institution created for the purpose of global one world government, control of global finances and the global control of We the People.

I’ve never subscribed to being controlled by fools and liars. My lifetime alone validates that I’m right in refusing such brinkmanship.  Nowhere in scripture am I told to obey that which defiles my God and/or instructs me to subscribe to insanity.

Escaping from the COP-27 insane asylum

Let’s hope climate talks finally come to grips with energy, scientific and economic reality

Paul Driessen 

“Show us the money!” climate activists demand, and rich countries are expected to pony up.
 
Do I hear $100 billion? Would you give $1 trillion? Now, then, would you give $2 trillion?
 
The climate reparations bidding war is on. What began at $100-billion-a-year at COP-21 in Paris rapidly ballooned to $1.3-trillion on the eve of COP-27 in Sharm-el-Sheikh-Down, Egypt and now stands at $2.4-trillion annually! And we’re nowhere near “going once, going twice, sold.”
 
Of course, it was always about the money – endless sums of cash supposedly to help developing countries (like China!) adapt to dangerous manmade climate change, cover entire regions with wind and solar, and secure “fair, just and equitable” reparations for soaring temperatures, rising seas, destructive storms, floods, droughts and famines allegedly caused by countries that have used fossil fuels since 1850.
 
Yes, China. The Middle Kingdom has long postured itself as a developing country, when it comes to when it might start building fewer coal-fired power plants and slowly shift to “renewable” energy.
 
Now China says it will pay non-cash climate reparations, if the United States pays in dollars. Of course, any US, UK, German, et cetera “fair share” would be exorbitant – and paid while they “transition” rapidly away from fossil fuels, regardless of the economic, social and ecological costs.
 
As Oliver Hardy would say, “Another fine mess you’ve gotten me into,” Joe, John and the rest of Team Biden’s climate-obsessed, fossil-fuel-eradicating, eco-justice warriors.
 
They and their activist, media and academia allies created the climate scare – the assertion that fossil fuel emissions alone are driving today’s climate and weather. Never mind that, since the last Pleistocene ice age, average global temperatures climbed significantly (Baruch Hashem); sea levels rose some 400 feet; and floods, droughts, hurricanes and other disasters ravaged planet and humanity countless times. Anything happening today, however, is due to countries that got rich using fossil fuels. Or so they insist.
 
Therefore, naturally, COP-27 organizers, activists and attendees now say the “climate crisis” requires enormous payments from rich countries to poor countries – or more accurately, from poor people in rich countries to rich kleptocrats in poor countries. That raises another inconvenient truth.
 
Not long ago, Obama “science advisor” John Holdren intoned: “Only one rational path is open to us – simultaneous de-development of the [United States and other over-developed countries] and semi-development of the under-developed countries, in order to approach a decent and ecologically sustainable standard of living for all in between.” This de-development ideology is shared by many others.
 
Well, de-development and de-industrialization are already underway in Britain, Germany and elsewhere, because wind, solar and battery (WSB) energy cannot possibly replace abundant, reliable, affordable, non-weather-dependent fossil fuel and nuclear energy. Jobs, companies and entire industries are already disappearing across Europe, as it destroys fossil fuel power plants but has nothing viable to replace them.
 
So how are all these de-developing Formerly Rich Countries (FRCs) going to deliver billions or trillions annually, to pay climate reparations and help poor countries develop? They cannot possibly do so.
 
Even worse, eco-imperialist developed countries continue demanding that poor countries develop only to the minimal extent that WSB technologies would permit. Rich countries, the World Bank and global financial institutions refuse to finance anything but pseudo-renewable energy.
 
These unconscionable policies perpetuate joblessness, poverty, disease and death – and advance the other basic goal of “climate stabilization” programs: controlling our lives and living standards. But poor nations have inalienable, God-given rights to develop, using fossil fuel, nuclear and hydroelectric power – and petroleum as feed stocks for fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, plastics and hundreds of other miraculous life-enhancing, life-saving products (developed by countries that are now expected to pay reparations).
 
Developed nations must help developing nations reach those goals. Instead, they too often block pathways to better lives. Still more outrageous, the USA and Europe have the nerve to ask African, Asian and Latin American nations to produce more oil and gas, but only for export to the USA and Europe!
 
Meanwhile, Britain is setting up “warm rooms,” where people can go for a few hours a day, instead of freezing hungry and jobless in dark apartments. It’s as though Merry Old England has suddenly been transported back to the Middle Ages, by politicians who put climate virtue signaling above their constituents’ basic needs.
 
Meanwhile, Germany is dismantling an industrial wind power installation – so that it can extract the lignite coal underneath, to run generating plants, to keep factories operating and homes warm!
 
Even crazier, these are just a few examples of the insanity gripping the world’s political classes, especially during Conferences of Parties (COPs) on climate change. Happily, escaping this insane asylum requires little more than recognizing a few simple realities.

* The vast majority of nations signed the Paris climate treaty for the money – most of which they are now beginning to realize they will never receive. Moreover, coal, oil and natural gas still provide 82% of the world’s energy; nuclear, hydroelectric and biomass (wood and dung) provide most remaining energy needs, and less than 2% comes from wind and solar.
 
* Developing countries will be using fossil fuels for decades to come – and emitting more plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide in the process – much of it to extract the raw materials and manufacture the “green tech” they will export to the US, UK, EU and other soon-to-be-FRCs. So even if developed countries totally eliminated their fossil fuel use, atmospheric greenhouse gas levels will continue to climb.
 
* But that won’t matter, because there is no evidence that we face a climate crisis, much less a manmade climate crisis, much less changes unprecedented in Earth or human history. Humans are likely affecting temperature, humidity, climate and weather to some degree, especially around large urban “heat islands.” But that is a far cry from cataclysms allegedly resulting from fossil fuels replacing the powerful natural forces that have controlled climate and weather throughout history.
 
* The 1.5 degrees C that we are supposed to avoid to avert catastrophe is arbitrary, meaningless – and tied not just to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, but to the end of the Little Ice Age. Another degree or two of warming would be mostly beneficial, whereas another little or big ice age would devastate agriculture, habitats, wildlife and humanity.
 
* The entire climate crisis agenda is based on computer models that (a) cannot possibly reflect all the forces that govern climate, and (b) consistently predict planetary warming that is two to three times greater than actually recorded by satellites, weather balloons and surface temperature monitors.
 
* Basing economy-destroying, life-altering policies on useless models is sheer insanity – especially if the replacement energy comes from WSB systems that would require mining, processing, manufacturing and installations on scales that would ravage our planet.

The only reason these realities are so little known is that climate activists, politicians, academics, and news and social media studiously demonize, harass, censor, silence, deplatform and demonetize scientists, economists and energy experts who challenge climate crisis narratives.

Thankfully, the Truth is slowly winning out. Perhaps COP-27 will bring a healthy dose of climate and energy sanity. If it doesn’t, we could end up with John Holdren’s formula for rolling back development and living standards. Just don’t expect the ruling elites and their Hollywood and Big Tech allies to lead by example.
