I think it's time for AOC to change her name
to Chicken Little.
Like many people in the left these days,
climate change means the sky is falling.
For those of us who happened to listen to this
kind of rhetoric since the early 1970s, we know it is simply not true -- at
best it is being exaggerated beyond all proportion to reality.
Climate change has
become a political talking point to the Democrats something they can scare
people into supporting.
Like nearly everything
coming out of a Democrats mouth these days it is an attempt at social control
at trying to scare people into doing what the Democrats want them to do.
The new green deal clearly wants to force humanity
back to the good old days before Prometheus stole fire and to list Prometheus
as an environmental terrorist for setting humanity on the path that has added
to carbon emissions.
This return to the Stone Age however has its
disadvantages especially when it comes to social issues such as women's rights.
AOC can't possibly want to go back to the mating rituals that were so prominent
when humanity still occupied caves. Does she want to be dragged back by the
hair by some smelly hairy male for a mating ritual?
The great gift Prometheus brought us was fire
to cook by and to stay warm by are two very problematic issues when it comes to
the new green deal since both add to the carbon footprint.
So, we clearly go beyond
just limiting our restrictions on cooking animals from those with cloven hoofs.
With fanatics in animal
rights, we should not raise them or cook them let alone eat them and so
therefore we must go back to the concept of collecting nuts and berries.
Environmentalist tell us that cattle -- whether beef for eating or for milk -- tend
to fart a lot and add carbon to the atmosphere.
This is complicated by the fact that in order to make room for grazing we often clear the land of trees that pump
oxygen into the air.
Even in more primitive times we often burned
wood to make the fires by which we cook the animals so therefore fire itself is
a bad thing and adds to the carbon footprint.
Since it is clear we cannot use coal or gas or
atomic plants to make the energy we need to power our smartphones and laptops,
we may well have to rely on lightning strikes on those days when our solar
panels aren't working because of clouds or night, or our wind farms are turning
up enough to handle the millions of devices that are plugged into the network.
We might take advantage of all the hot are
liberals spew if we could all turn them in the same direction at the same time
in order to turn the turbines. But unfortunately liberals tend to disagree so
much they would not be able to agree on what direction they needed to turn --
with some turning this way and others turning that way, while still others
suspecting some sort of conservative plot behind the whole deal won’t turn at
all.
Of course, these
environmentalists seem to have no problem in the manufacture and use of
handheld devices that use non-renewable rare minerals as their base of
operation, really believing that these are preferable to trees and paper which
are renewable.
OAC clearly believes in
a shared economy, too and so, those who do not have, should simply take from
those who have and feel that they are justified. This means that people who do not pick their
fair share of nuts and berries have every right to take as much as they want
from those people who work hard and perhaps pick more than their fair share.
Since we are desperate
to reduce our carbon footprint we have to resort to other means of keeping warm.
This, of course, in winter becomes an issue me may have to reinvent communal
sex and multiple partners so as to rub ourselves into survival.
Travel under this new
regime is even more challenging since we clearly have to get away from the
concept of horsepower which means no animal should become a beast of burden
just so that we can visit our grandparents in California.
We might consider a
DaVinci Style flying device made of wood except with all the need we deplete
the forest and so defeat the purpose of doing away with air travel in the first
place.
Solar power for electric
vehicles is so undependable that the only people who could actually travel
anywhere would be those who live in Arizona and frankly they don't want to go
any place and nobody wants to go there to see them.
We might actually outfit
are automobiles with little sails only it would likely take the wind gust from
Katrina to get us anywhere we would want to go.
Since buses and trains
also contribute to the carbon footprint, we need an alternative mass transit
system. Bicycles are considered the most
efficient machine so perhaps we can have a bicycle with a hundred or more
pedals and so all the passengers will contribute to the energy needed to travel
from place to place.
Since hot air balloons
will need heat to rise we cannot use them effectively because of the carbon
footprint. Helium is already depleted worldwide and so we might have to go back
to hydrogen and chance another Hindenburg.
Since we are banning
fire, we will have no need of fire trucks and if everybody is involved with
communal lovemaking we will have need no police. Since we have a shared economy in which
anybody can take anything anybody else owns we will not need a court system.
Clearly this new green
deal shows great promise for the future.
