California
Rep. Katie Porter (it would be stating the obvious to point out that she is a
Democrat) recently asked 18-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg what she
should tell her daughter about climate change. The 47-year-old mother and
elected Golden State representative queried Thunberg, stating: “I told my
nine-year-old daughter that I was going to be speaking with you. And I said,
what do you think about the climate change? And she said, ‘the earth is on fire
and we’re all going to die soon.’ And I asked her how that made her feel and
she said it made her feel angry. What should I tell my daughter and how should I help her and the
youngest generation bear the emotional toll of the actions that we’re taking,
fossil fuel companies are taking to destroy our planet.”
To
which Thunberg replied: “And, of course,
always the best medication against anger and anxiety is to take action
yourself. So that’s what I would tell her. To take action herself, because that
will make her feel so much better. That’s what it did to me, at least, and so
many others.” Um, Greta, it didn’t really do much for your anger, did
it?
How do nine-year-old kids get the
idea that “the earth is on fire” and “we’re all going to die soon?” It comes
from teachers and the media, of course. And the likes of Greta Thunberg, Al
Gore and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. People who benefit from making as many
others as possible “feel angry.” People who are guilty of using misinformation
and lies to further their own agenda, manipulate others, and frighten children.
They are as guilty of child-molestation as they are of trafficking in fake
news.
If it wasn’t for fossil fuel
companies, none of us—environmental activists included—would have anything like
the quality of life we have enjoyed. Gore wouldn’t have a huge, heated home—and
pool. Thunberg couldn’t fly around the world lecturing people on the evils of
fossil fuels and the imminent and existential danger of global warming/climate
change. Ocasio-Cortez wouldn’t be chauffeured around in SUV limos wearing chic
apparel and accessories. We would not have had the medical breakthroughs, ease
of travel, technical advances, and time-saving gadgetry that we do. Our lives
would be poorer and harder in every way. And shorter. Fossil fuel companies are
not destroying the planet. Period. So-called “progressive” activists are
doing everything they can to sow doubt, fear and anger--- in short, destroy
society.
Greta Thunberg could be the
poster-child for Planned Parenthood. Asking her for parenting advice is like
asking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about the Constitution or Michael Moore for
dieting tips. No wonder why kids are so confused these days.
It is time parents stopped talking
about feelings and started seeking the truth. Maybe if parents grow up, their
children will, too.
