On the contrary, I care a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQhX8PbNUWI

It's the manner by which leaders are held to account that concerns me. Vote them out? Fine. Put them up against the wall? That has darker connotations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpmRWGRM1RQ Replace Bob Geldof with Gretta and you get the idea. You know, the whole eco-fascist thing.

Ask Nicolae Ceaușescu.

Greta just said, “Unfortunately, we probably already know the outcome. World leaders are still trying to run away from their responsibilities but we have to make sure they cannot do that. We will make sure that we put them against the wall and they will have to do their job to protect our futures,” What does "put them against the wall" mean? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7789463/Greta-Thunberg-arrives-Turin-Italy-star-turn-huge-climate-change-demonstration.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline

No, that windmills, EVs And virtual signaling will somehow make a difference.

Our ancestors dealt with it 11,000 years ago when the last ice age ended, and it happened much faster and was much more profound than anything contemplated by todays scientists. To riff off a GICO commercial, "Sea level rise, so easy a caveman can deal with it" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_sea_level

So...Greta = Trump? I think you make a good point. Both are massively exaggerating a non-problem to push a personnel agenda.

Oh no! You have just thrown down the gauntlet! The hypocrisy police have been alerted and are eagerly awaiting the moderator's response.

Joe, it is called humor. Get some.

A Canadian shared that little quip with me.

The US spits Canada swims.

In Canada ;-) The last five recessions were preceded by a spike in oil prices. Given our relative independence on foreign oil, due to the fracking revolution, I think we are going to be ok. Trade war looks like it might be abating, doesn't look like we are going to have a government shutdown and peoples bank accounts are flush with money. The financial guys are even predicting the first TRILLION dollar holiday shopping season. Canada on the other hand is probably in trouble, given a loss of 70,000 jobs in November.

Same can be said about the budget deficit.

Not mad. I just think it is funny that some folks believe it is a big problem and even more humorous is the notion that driving a Prius and going vegan will somehow prevent it from happening.

Seven centimeters of sea level rise by the end of the century? Do you mean to say that 70 years after I am dead, my great grandchildren will go to the same beach house my parents took me to when I was a kid and standing in the exact same spot, their ankles will get wet instead of their toes? That sound absolutely terrifying!!! BTW the most "pessimistic" models predicted 6090mm sea level rise not 50-120. Again, CAGW theory falsified.

What is going to happen to her when she is no longer the flavor of the week? I guess she could get with David Hogg and form a support group.

Damn autocorrect

The military protect the Constitution the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) protects the military.

"Simulations were conducted using the Weather Research and Forecasting model using the pseudo global warming method". Nothing about current drought conditions and climate change (oh wait we have even more climate change than we did a half a decade ago and no drought...….I will put that in the "things that make you go hmmmmm" category) Model invalidated "Climate-driven increases in wildfires, drought conditions, and insect outbreaks are critical threats to forest carbon stores. In particular, bark beetles are important disturbance agents although their long-term interactions with future climate change are poorly understood." Model invalidated With regard to you comparison of blood and sea water, well that is just silly. The daily fluctuation of PH in and around coral reef systems is huge (it can vary from 7.8 to 8.7 in a single 24 hour period) so again you analogy is just silly. Bill you need to read the articles before you post them. What you claim is proof of what is happening now, is nothing more than conjecture and speculation about what may or may not happen in the future

What about the subsequent eight trillion dollars? Who's fault was that?

Not always, just ask Obama.

Ultimately it is psychology, not party. Booms and busts have occurred under Ds and Rs.

No the record long growth and record low unemployment are a result of lower taxes and less burdensome regulation. The party will probably come to an end if it looks like the Dems will win the White House

Do you guys really want a 3X failure at the top of your ticket?
