Obama hits climate change deniers
That was the
‘headline’ of the ‘news in brief’ article I came across in a local paper the
other day. Obviously I had to read it. Sadly, the headline wasn’t literally
true (so much promise there!), just poorly written. However, the short article
was still worth reading if only for its reporting of the attempted bon mot from President Obama
addressing graduates of the University of California, Irvine.
The president
said, “denying climate change is like arguing the moon is made of cheese”.
As analogies go…
this one was especially pathetic. Meaningless, nonsensical & childish. In
attempting to paint all whom he labels
‘deniers’ as complete idiots and morons ( stereotyping, generalizing,
profiling, judgemental hate-speech) he simply made himself look intolerant,
close-minded and foolish.
According to the
article the president then went on to say congress “is full of folks who
stubbornly and automatically reject the scientific evidence” and say climate
change is a hoax and that others duck the issue.
Talking about
‘climate change’ is an absurdity. The climate changed dramatically where I live
from yesterday to today. Sunny and warm yesterday, cloudy and cool today. My
God, it’s Global Cooling! We’re all doomed! It changed from this morning until this
afternoon. It’s changed alot from last
winter until now. If it keeps warming at that rate we’ll all fry by fall. Check
back with me in October.
I’m so sick of
talking about climate change. Culture change? Political change? Body change? Health
change? Diaper change? Hope and change? What the hell doesn’t change?
If time exists…and the physical forces
we believe in do as well… If electrons, neutrons and protrons do their thing
and if the term cyclical has any meaning … everything
changes (over time)!
Except liberals minds!!
Who ‘stubbornly
and automatically rejects the (overwhelming) evidence’ that free market
societies have done better than planned ones throughout history? Who
‘stubbornly and automatically rejects’ the fact that red states like North
Dakota and Texas almost always fare better than blue states like California and
New York? Who ‘stubbornly and automatically rejects’ the fact that Republican
governors typically reduce or eliminate budget deficits and increase employment
in their respective states after being elected to clean up after Democratic
ones?
And ‘ducking the
issue’? Really? You want to go there?
Benghazi?
IRS/Lois Lerner? Fast and Furious? The VA scandal? Etc., etc., etc.?
I won’t hit (man-made) climate change believers. Unfortunately, neither
will I (seriously) hope to change
their minds.
