Same People Who Promote Panicked Over Coronavirus Promote Global Warming Hysteria

I get the sense they are actually rooting for the virus to reach pandemic levels in order to justify their hysteria. They’re probably also rooting for the globe to burn up just so they can say I told you so

I doubt you really believe your "sense", but like a two-week scab, it feels good to pick at it. Those concerned about the epidemic are for the most part compassionate folks who are reasonably concerned about the potential for a health catastrophe. And just because you don't care too look at the science behind the concern for the climate emergency, and falsely lump together constituencies you see in your haphazard assessment of social media, does not negate the overwhelming weight of our historical moment. But like the guy who puts a paper bag over his head in hopes that it will offer some protection--by all means keep expressing yourself--it won't do any harm.

It matters because fossil fuel companies lose. They’re not funneling millions into lobbyists and PR firms to lose this battle... they’re fighting for survival.

People aren’t necessarily anti-science, they’re unknowing victims of late stage capitalism.

There are no clean and neutral climate techs, from lithium and rare earth for batteries, etc, they all do as much or more damage to the environment as "fossil" fuels. As far as "late stage capitalism," the people who use terms like that are just asking for starvation and standing in four hour lines for their weekly allotment of toilet paper.

Do you mean PANIC?

First San Francisco changed “felon” to “justice involved person.”

Now California will refer to “at risk youth” instead as, “at promise youth.”

Legislation went into effect at the beginning of this year which changed the state’s legal term for children at risk of entering the criminal justice system.

The point is to change the negative connotation of the phrase “at risk”.

Uplifting, right? But these people always fail to understand that changing words doesn’t change reality [such as your sex].

I actually do have a concern about the epidemic. It’s quite real. Global warming stuff, well....

It's a big fat waste of money and a major inconvenience.

DJT should just appoint Pelosi or Schumer or Schiff in charge of the coronavirus response, and have done with it.

Is it though? Most of it will be more productive, cheaper and better in the long run. Fossil fuels will run out anyway even if we falsely assume they don’t hurt the climate. Newer technologies are much better so it’s really a win-win

An entire city locked into their apartments and left to die, screaming from the windows for help, but Communist government has already written them off as acceptable losses to curtail the virus spread.
