It’s always some sort of witchcraft, a boogyman, with this doomsday cult. I have a solution for the Courier-Journal’s Henry Jackson: give up your own use of fossil fuels and make your own life carbon neutral. Get the Courier-Journal to do the same. Tell all your climate cult comrades to do the same. But, really, it’s really telling where Jackson goes
Under Trump and Project 2025, extreme weather, climate chaos could overtake us | Opinion
With the climate crisis denial party now in control of all three branches of the federal government, some otherwise indifferent members of Congress need to carefully consider that the most immediate and overarching danger facing the nation is climate change. It is accelerating in both frequency and power. The need to respond to multiple and cascading weather disasters may become nearly impossible to manage under the best of circumstances. Our nearly daily weather chaos is likely only the tip of the spear.
Trump’s plans in Project 2025 to reduce federal government capacity would significantly impair its abilities to deal with mounting calamity. He would leave behind a severely diminished federal service and military that will deal with increasing levels of climate chaos here and around the world. (snip)
Mounting demand for national emergency response will require the full breath and capacity of the federal government to address widespread economic impacts, infrastructure damage, spread of disease due to a warmer climate, domestic mass migration to safer climes, related supply-chain disruptions and increasingly affecting every aspect of daily life.
I find it interesting that at the heart of this debate you see the doomsday cult wanting more and more power for the government, especially the federal government. How dare Trump and Republicans attempt to reduce the power of the government back to where the Constitution wanted it to be! The cult is, at its root, authoritarian. Way back in the mid-2000’s when I said this was not about science, but, about government power, people, even Skeptics, said I was nuts. I was right then and I’m right now.
In the final analysis, the younger you are, the more you have at stake. But rest assured that for our children and grandchildren the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Yet, they do not practice what they preach. And more and more are opting out of the cult. They aren’t too keen on a Fascist government.
