John Kerry, a man with a private plane and a private yacht, both which burn more fuel in an hour than the average middle class driver burns in a week and a giant mansion that consumes several times the heating and cooling energy of an average middle class house, can’t understand why oil workers with unique and valuable skills making an average of $98K per year are not happy to be laid off for the empty promise that some unspecified time in the future they will be retrained to do jobs that pay substantially less money.
Maybe it will finally dawn on him when laid off oil workers who can’t feed their families l, watching the solar panels they were promised they would make actually be made in China by a company that got federal subsidies to make solar panels but got an exemption to outsource production to China because the owners are buddies with Kerry, decide to weld steel plate to some old bulldozers and drive them through Kerry’s Martha’s Vinyard mansion.
Well, Mr. Know it all, climate change happened all through the Earth’s history. Long before humans arrived. We are actually in a period of glaciation, and many eons in the past, there was no ice at the poles. The Earth has been much warmer many times. Its cyclical. You can ban every fuel, including China, from use, and the Earth will still have global warming. It’s a fact, not speculation.
Idiot.
I forgot to add that the Climate Change chicken littles only go back a thousand years — a mere blip in time. The Earth is around FOUR BILLION YEARS OLD!
Bulldozers through a living room certainly make a statement, it’s true.
But such action will almost certainly be accompanied by arrests, and (at least after the first time) there’s a good chance they would get intercepted before they could make a statement – they’re not small nor subtle in motion. Not to mention, things like basements could be problematic and dangerous for the ‘dozer driver.
Apropros of nothing I found this little article on According to Hoyt very interesting:
https://accordingtohoyt.com/2021/01/27/dare-to-be-petty-by-anonymous/
That post at According to Hoyt is basically what I said about the mayor of London (UK) when they banned pretty much anything sharp in the whole city (no exceptions, not even for blades necessary for one’s job), started calling the police over garden shears left in the park, and started writing 200-pound fines for construction workers’ utility knives and box cutters and chefs’ kitchen knives — and then letting them keep their knives so they can be fined again tomorrow.
I said (paraphrasing), Mayor Khan should become persona non grata at every restaurant and barber shop in the city. His dinner meats should be prepared and served bone- and gut-in and skin-on. His mansion’s gardens should be maintained by people bringing herds of goats that devour all the flowers and eat the grass to the ground. And his hair and beard should be maintained by plucking it out or burning it off (I hear that’s a fashion in some places).
Because if you ban all the blades, people who use blades professionally should refuse you service — or at the very least, charge an “administrative” fee to compensate for the inconvenience and fines for every service, no matter how minor — and you should live with the consequences and/or pay the price.
Why should we limit it to blades, though?
In addition to what the ATH post suggests, any service worker who must go assist a lockdown-breaker should charge a “COVID fee” to “cover the risks of exposure”. I’m thinking enough to cover two weeks in a hotel for each worker — “in the event they have to quarantine away from their families” — plus the cost of the local government’s fines against the business for being open. And then bring at least 4 or 5 guys for every job, “for training purposes”, of course.
Does that mean every broken window or leaky pipe turns into a $20,000+ repair cost? Probably. But such is the cost of doing business during a pandemic, don’tcha know.
Amend that: 4.5 billion years old. We are in the middle of the “Quaternary Glaciation” period now. This follows a long period of NO glaciation. The cycle between ice and no ice has happened many times.
Somebody give the climate change idiots a geology book!
They’re not going to believe any of that “speculative history” garbage! Not even if that history is based in actual scientific investigation, using evidence and data from multiple unrelated sources.
Everyone knows that every summer is the “hottest summer on record” … despite failing every year to break century-old temperature records … and despite record snowfall and new record cold temps recorded every winter.
I mean, who are they going to believe? Your science books, or their lyin’ talking heads on CNN?
It would not be so bad if the “better choice” jobs actually existed, and the highly skilled workers were able to move to an equivalent paying job right away.
But, they do not currently exist, and may not for years.
Perhaps, next time you lay off thousands of people, you might have a reasonable number of replacement jobs ready. Not “promised”
Its not the gubmints job to provide jobs. They will lie and promise what you want to hear. I hope that We the People continues to fight all this shiite from dems. Do I hear welders ???
Re “give the warmists a book”. That doesn’t help, because warmism isn’t connected to science. It’s a religious cult, complete with high priests (Gore and Kerry among them), prophets (Hansen for example) and an Inquisition.
Yes, climate change has been around since the creation of the atmosphere. That’s precisely why the warmists have switched from “global warming” (which might be falsifiable) to “climate change” which is obviously not falsifiable.
The scam is that they pretend climate change is caused by the actions of western humans, which is at the very least debatable.
On glaciation etc., I have a data set available on the Internet, “GISP2 Ice Core Temperature and Accumulation Data”. It gives temperatures in central Greenland between 50,000 years ago and 10 years ago. Graphing that data shows some interesting things. Stuff like: it was a degree C warmer than now back around 1060 AD. Also around 500 AD. Back in Cicero’s day (50 BC) it was 2 degrees warmer. It was 3 degrees warmer around 1280 BC, and 4900 BC, and 5800 BC.
On the other hand, back before 9000 BC it was noticeably colder. except for a brief warmup around 12,000 BC. But all through that time, temperatures were oscillating madly, fluctuating by 10 degrees over and over at intervals of 500 years or so.
Computer models? Bah. Show me a computer model that reproduces that data when run in reverse from the data of the past century. Or one that, initialized with the data from 50,000 to 40,000 BC, reproduces the rest of that graph. If it can’t do that — and I’m confident none of them can — then it’s not a model, it’s merely creative fiction or cybernetic masturbation.
Kerry flips out at the destruction of his mansion.
Bulldozer drivers: We’re just making sure you have better choices. You can be the people who go to live in subsidized Section 8 housing.
Roll the tumbrels.
There is no other way these pig-headed, close-minded, self-righteous idiots will learn.
