Mark Landsbaum, writer for the Cornwall Alliance: We’re told global warming gives us only 5, 10, 12 more years (depending on the doomsayer) before the planet is irretrievably doomed. “Therefore, act now!” alarmists demand. Of course, they’ve been saying the same thing for 10, 20, 25 years. It’s become impossible to spoof these people…

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist Green Deal is so laughably ridiculous. advancing the idea that every building in the nation must be retrofitted to meet entirely arbitrary standards to protect against the entirely un-dangerous, pretend threat of global warming would have been a non-starter, even among the looniest of the loony left. Too say nothing of abolishing all airline flights, getting rid of cows that fart and eliminating every vehicle with internal combustion engines in 10 years, as AOC proposes.

Global warming alarmists demand everyone must pay up, sacrifice and comply because the alleged threat is worldwide. That’s another part of the scam’s beauty. No one can escape footing the bill – unless granted specific wavers from those who run the system, the regulatory masters, who nearly put the coal industry out of business under the last global warming-inclined presidential administration. As in the Soviet Union, it’s always the insiders’ cronies who are exempted from compliance.
