It's November 13th in Michigan, and it's 9°...


...And she's preaching global warming. This bitch can suck my ass.

Apparently you don't understand the difference between weather and climate. This young girl is smarter than you.

reply

No she's not. She's just been brainwashed better.

Scientists can't even accurately predict the weather for tomorrow, let alone the climate 12-50 years from now.

reply

You can predict increased chances of a crash when you spot a damaged wheel. Doesn't mean you know when or where or how.

reply

Loony Lefties have been crying "The sky is falling" for decades. And I'm talking about "scientists."

Here are a few headlines from a hundred years ago or more:

• 1895 - Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again – New York Times, February 1895
• 1902 - “Disappearing Glaciers…deteriorating slowly, with a persistency that means their final annihilation…scientific fact…surely disappearing.” – Los Angeles Times
• 1912 - Prof. Schmidt Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age – New York Times, October 1912
• 1923 - “Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada” – Professor Gregory of Yale University, American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress, – Chicago Tribune
• 1923 - “The discoveries of changes in the sun’s heat and the southward advance of glaciers in recent years have given rise to conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age” – Washington Post

So Gollum's -- I'm sorry -- I mean Greta's doomsday whining is nothing new.

reply

I wonder what their explanation is on how the polar ice caps formed.

reply

Sorry Wuchak, you don't have much credibility as a scientist. But thanks for posting your google search results!

reply

I'm not a scientist and never said I was (although my brother is), but I don't need to be in order to cite the documented conflicting theories of "scientists" bought by Leftwingers who keep claiming the sky is falling through the decades.

There's a reason the less ignorant amongst us responds to their dubious claims (not to mention their curious secular religion) with "Yeah, right." And their current strategy of using a brainwashed Gollum-like 16 year-old girl as their puppet for propaganda doesn't help.

reply

If someone tells you there is a green flame and someone else tells you there is an orange flame then the correct response would be to start looking for a Fire extinguisher.

reply

Another glaring possibility is that the flame was always there and isn't anything new. For instance, there was an ice age and it had zero to do with human activity. This isn't to say that we shouldn't be wise stewards of the planet, which is why my family -- and community in general -- doesn't litter and we recycle, etc.

I also have a problem taking a group of people at their word who often can't predict tomorrow's weather, let alone what it's going to be like 12, 50, 100 years from now, especially when their proposed changes (more like annoyingly haughty demands) include needlessly blowing gazillions of tax-payer dollars and absurd ideas about preventing cow farts, not using planes and so forth (rolling my eyes).

When the loony Left's top Climate Change "experts" are a former bartender (AOC) and a mechanically angry high school sophomore, only a fool takes it seriously.

Well said, Wuchak.

reply

Thanks, Pop. :)

reply

It's great that you don't litter and recycle but the exhausts from our machines are important, too. I don't see how being obnoxious about a real issue makes that issue going away. That goes for climate activists and their opponents alike.

reply

Well said.

Its a funny thing about humans, we think we are highly intelligent but then someone had the bright idea to use asbestos as insulation.

reply

Temperatures broke records, with the coldest temperature ever recorded at −30 °F (−34 °C) on January 31, 2019. Wind chills got dangerously low as −58 °F (−50 °C) on January 30, 2019.

reply

"Apparently you don't understand the difference between weather and climate."

Whenever there's a heat wave, the warmists are always very quick to point out how it supports their claim. However, whenever you mention an episode of unusually cold weather, it's "you don't know the difference between weather and climate!" It's hard to tell if they're being hypocrites or are just stupid.

Weather is the daily manifestation of climate, something that Greta and other climate hysterics don't seem to understand. They are not as smart as you.

reply

"unusually cold weather"

So good you're able to answer your own questions!

I noticed this too; good point.

reply

If Trump changed his name to Obama would you heap praise on him and love him? Of course not because aside from the new name he would be the same... that is just like "climate change" that was originally "global warming "... the same facts are underlying climate change and they were wrong before so why do idiots think they are true now? The state of Florida didn't sink beneath the ocean so just accept it was BS and stop believing in the big hoax... remember the origination of global warming was a scientist that made up the data.

reply

LOL The idiots in charge changed the name because they were WRONG. Provably WRONG. Climate Change, Global Warming, or Shit Snax, whatever you name it, it is BS.

A story from Sweden about how in that country 25% of the people with Ali in there name is a criminal. I can see why she is in no hurry to go back home.

reply

Yes, but the Swedes can take great comfort in knowing they are more enlightened than those racist countries that carefully vett immigrants. Surely that's worth the bombings and rapes, no?

reply

Sweden has done the world a massive favor by showing the world what happens when you let leftist lesbos, feminists and assorted degenerates “run” your country. A society without a moral basis is not a society at all. Pathetic.

reply

They just put into law a 50% reduction of livestock to make room for more immigrant housing.

reply

Sweden will be an islamic state by 2040

reply

indeed... a terrible place now.

invite the 3rd world, become the 3rd world. it's not rocket science.

just amazing who weak the swedes are, but then again, they stayed neutral during world war 2, while their neighbours norway and denmark at least tried to fight a bit before being occupied.

reply

Hence why they changed the name from Warming to Climate Change a while ago, they realized they got it wrong so just move the goal posts.

reply

In the 70's it was "Global Cooling."
Then "Global Warming" and now they figured out saying "Climate Change" covers it all.
Of course climate changes! It's supposed to!

reply

Yeah they seem to think the weather runs on a calendar and typical rhythms. It doesn't care that it might be summer but provides us with cold weather.

I was just a kid in the early 80's when a lot of this stuff came out. The Ozone layer etc the way they made it sound back then we should be fritters by now.

reply

Well I'm older than you and this nonsense was going on at least a decade earlier, but maybe longer. 😉
This is why many of the older people don't fall for this stuff.

reply

It's just another scare tactic. AIDS is another one, again I was just a kid but the way they made it sound was that we were all going to die out because because of this disease.

Not to mention we also believed nuclear war was a real possibility, which was something people were probably more worried about in the decades before as well.

reply

Agreed about it being a scare tactic. It's also very much about control.

reply

To be fair, the Ozone layer problem was an actual threat that needed addressing. CFCs were actively depleting ozone in actual real-time observable and measurable amounts. Since the banning, the hole has repaired itself.

It was a real threat, solutions were implemented, and the problem has been solved.

Climate change is a scam to make the world submit to eco-fascism and global wealth transfers.

reply

Is that what happened. Fair enough. What I get from that though is the Earth can heal itself. When I was a kid the depleting Ozone was made out to be a case where we were all going to be fried to a crisp.

reply

You forgot the acid rain hysteria, it came between global cooling and global warming.

reply

Noted 👍🏻

reply

LOL Now the goal posts are in every direction and both near and far away. If it rains, BOOOM Climate Change. If it snows, BOOOM Climate Change. If you have a healthy baby, BOOOM Climate Change. If your car runs out of gas, BOOOM Climate Change. The amazing part is that people actually believe this crap.

reply

I agree. The weather doesn't go according to a calendar. It doesn't care if it is supposed to be Spring or Summer etc according to what it says.

I think a lot of these activists are getting paid by someone to spread this shit. Some are true believers but some, like Greta are just cashing in.

Speaking of shifting goal posts. Back in 2000 we hosted the G20 summit down here and the Left wingers of the day waged such huge protests around it that the area looked liked Northern Ireland during the troubles, cops, barricades etc. Back then they were Anti Globalization. Now they seem all for it.

I guess it depends on which side is pushing the Globalization. They play the man rather than the ball.

reply

Duuuuh because like yeah you're totally right, it can't be global warming if I'm cold at the wrong time of the year, that just doesn't make a lick of sense.


Fuck me.

reply

Are you hot? I might be interested.

reply

Lmao!

reply

Eloquently put.

reply

Thank you. No point in waisting my English Major.

reply

"Waisting".... and you're an English Major? 🤣😂🤣😂😍

reply

There was blue sky and then a cloud formed. Obvious Orangeman made climate change is obvious.

reply

Lol, is that a Haiku?

reply

Climate activists when it's warm: This is because of climate change and this is your fault since you eat meat and drive a fossil car.

Climate activists when it's cold: This is just a local variation and climate change causes more extreme weather, so this is also your fault.

reply

I totally understand being tired of her but saying "This bitch can suck my ass." is pretty low when talking about a 16 year old girl. Come on.

reply

In regards to almost everything I post on this site that isn't actually related to movies or TV, never assume I'm being literal, and I really don't take this shit as seriously it may seem.

reply

I know you weren't being literal. I miss the old IMDB boards, you rarely saw anything more than talk about the entertainment industry. Oh well, these boards are still pretty funny.

I'm a mother of 3 boys and 1 daughter. So I take it kinda hard when I see anyone referring to kids in such a way because if someone said that about my kids I'd wanna beat the crap out of them, lol. But I totally understand where you're coming from.

Happy holidays!!
