climate change alarmists - collateral damage

[Jim in CT]

Pete, i’m concerned about the climate. not to the point where i’m going to tell anyone’s children that there’s no reason to work towards their futures, nor
no reason to look forward to that future. that’s the difference.

i’m sure harrison ford lives in a yurt!

Yea, you vote for Trump who thinks climate change is a hoax and criticize a girl who's doing an amazing job of bringing attention to an issue with existential ramifications.

Big climate guy you are.

i did not criticize her. i feel
bad that her childhood has been completely stolen by you and your hysterical, totalitarian, constantly-proven-wrong-yet-never-in-doubt, ilk.

you bet i voted for him, and will
do so again. i care about the environment, not to the point where i’m willing to sacrifice our way of
life for no good reason.

i have solar panels and drive a nissan leaf to work every day and love it.

she was turned into a nut, by the zealots who use her to shield the cause from challenge.

liberals say it’s mean to challenge her. i recall they didn’t have the same tender, protective instincts toward Nick Sandman, a teenager like her who was nonetheless fair game to attack without mercy, because he was guilty of standing in a public space minding his own business.

Jim, I'll guarantee you the vast majority of young people are not that scared of climate change. Certainly no more than are terrified of illegals raping them.
Doing something about climate change does not entail living in a yurt, or getting windmill cancer. It's all incremental and you are doing some conservation with solar panels, a Leaf and you probably have some of those awful LED bulbs that do or don't make Trump look orange. I'm sure there are other things you could do without horribly changing your lifestyle.
If you are like most Americans, a little lifestyle change would probably enable you to live longer, healthier and wealthier.
We are the fattest major country in the world, consume the most energy per person of any large country and rank pretty far down for life expectancy.
But your head is stuck in the sand, that's the difference.

i agree most aren’t. but i’ve seen young people who are chugging the kool aid who are hysterical. we should just be careful
pete. for the same reasons that people wish trump would
tone down the rhetoric ( and
you know i’m one of them), we need to be careful about how we present this issue especially to impressionable children. if you want to disagree with that, fine.

my heads not stuck
in the sand. but i’m not sure my panels are a net positive ( dead birds and eventual disposal of all
that crap), nor my Leaf ( the battery is awful for the environment.

my head isn’t stuck in any sand, you just aren’t used to someone who doesn’t blindly cling to one side or the other. i’ll ask you a question i’ve asked spence 50 times, which he never answers...are there any major policy items, on which you junk liberals are wrong and
conservatives are right? Spence hates that question, because it reveals him for exactly what he is.

The last presidential election was the first I didn’t vote Republican in longer than you have lived.
I am not someone who gets stuck on policy, bipartisan decisions have always worked well in this country and they are typically somewhere in the middle.
Money, power, corporations and lawyers have killed government of the people, by the people and for the people.
I believe we are the only country in the world where you can be fined for plugging two extension cords together, but we can’t figure out how to work together on basic needs from education to infrastructure.

problem is, i cant know how you voted. but i see how you post. and all you do here, is attack trump and insult those who don’t think he’s satan.

why did you vote against obama
twice? what policies did he advocate for, for which you think mccain and romney had better ideas?

You need to think about who deserves your support.
If you look at Trump’s life you’ll see the pattern.
