And there is a whole array of creative taxes on the drawing board to pay for this folly. In retirement communities such as The Villages, the most frightening tax, much scarier than the specter of a warmer planet 50,000 years from now is the "wealth tax". This is where they come along and confiscate a percentage of your accumulated assets (which you have already paid tax on) each and every year. Depending on the percentage, how long do you think you'll last with this tax as well as the inflation that this ridiculous expenditure would cause????

Idiotic? Asinine? Crazy? Insane? Ridiculous? Illogical? I can keep going all day……. Most insidious idea on how to strip you over time of your entire investments and your children’s’ inheritance

Classic case of post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Here's an analogy:

Every year on July 4th for over a hundred years millions of fireworks are set off. Next year I'm going to eat a cupcake on July 3rd, and convince everyone else to do the same. Therefore, cupcakes will have CAUSED noise on July 4th. An entire cult of anti-cupcake minions arises, funded by the popsicle industry that will make a fortune if they can convince people to switch to "combat" cupcake eating. They permeate government, media and universities. "Scientists" publish studies claiming cupcakes will cause imminent worldwide catastrophes. Corporations push popsicles over cupcakes. The news does "hit pieces" on the evil of cupcakes. The weak minded give in to this Jedi mind trick.

But in reality, ONE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER.

Wait. You have to admit cow farts are a big problem. We need to create a panel to identify causes and see if science can create a special feed for cows to reduce bovine flatulence. Monsanto??? Are you listening?

But think of what it would accomplish. Everyone would be "equal". Nobody would possess more than another since we would all be living in abject poverty. Well, not all of us---some animals are more equal than others. And that $168 Trillion would be used to fight the "good fight" ---the fool's errand of fighting "global warming"

The problem with this is that many have been saying this for decades yet here were are still doing what we were doing decades ago?

Not quite. Many folks, individually and collectively, have made many changes. Whole industries have been created to take action to make changes in the damage that runaway industrialization, pollution, habitat destruction have caused. Governments, individually and collectively, are trying to turn the tide of continuous damage to our planet, our home, where we have to live.

This is the ridiculous part -- how the media (and complicit experts) twist the facts in order to protect a myth that CO2 is a control knob. Find out more Sep 6, 4 PM, at Lake Miona -- for the weekly Philosophy Club meeting.

I told you once! Short term memory loss?

We should be thinking more about what kind of world we are handing over to our grandkids and great grandkids and not just the price of gas and groceries in the present.

You failed to provide the "science" of your response. Anyone can make up a number.

How exactly does soil get "over used"? Soil is just soil.

Laughable? Yes. You over simplify.
Fertilizer can help, but there are negative effects thanks to over use, run off, etc. Fertilizer is not a one size fits all solution. There is a dark side. Very dark.
Ever hear of crop rotation? Even the soil needs to rest and recover from over use.
"Soil is just soil". No. It's not. 🫥😒🙄

Yes, we should. The world the climate change cultists want is one of abject poverty for 99.99% and 0.01% benefiting from the windfall of $168 TRILLION spent to "combat" the absolute fallacy of anthropogenic global warming at our expense. I'd rather these cultists use at least 2 neurons to realize the science of paleoclimatology tells us humans have nothing to do with these repetitive cycles of glaciation and interglacial thaws and spend their efforts addressing real problems such as how to lower their golf handicaps.

That's why I like you. You are mad as a hatter? Most entertaining "analogy" I may have ever heard! 😄😁🤣

But I forgot to mention, the change in noise won't even occur for another 50,000 years. Still nothing to do with cupcakes.

Hard for anyone to say what will happen in 50,000 years based on tree rings or deep ice chemicals.

Why waste my time? You don't believe anything that doesn't fit in your narrative. No point in telling you what you refuse to hear. This I have learned from you. Thank you for the lesson. 🙂🙂🙂

Again ... you don't know how much man-made CO2 warmed the earth last year ... which is why the media and so-called experts won't say ---- because it's soooo tiny it exposes the CO2 control-knob scam.
