As usual the leftist Democrats are taking action that is destructive to our country. They are apparently incapable of building or advancing civilization and prefer to destroy what has made our country great and the envy of the rest of the world. Open borders, indicting a former president, and destructive ways of dealing with climate change are what they are about. Let’s look at what a constructive plan for climate change should look like.
As I have written in prior article, there is no scientific evidence proving that climate change is being caused by mankind. There is absolutely no cause for the alarmist scare tactics they are using. They rely on computer model predictions that have been over-predicting climate disasters for years. Actually, due to the global economic progress resulting from industrialization, the number of people worldwide who died as a result of climate catastrophes dropped from 500,000 in 1900 to 11,000 in 2022. This dramatic improvement due to man’s ingenuity is totally ignored by the Left. They refuse to acknowledge the benefits of industrialization made possible by cheap abundant energy from fossil fuels, increased food production, longer life spans, and increases of standards of living worldwide.
The Left are always destroyers and never builders. This is very clear in their approach to dealing with climate change. Now it is absolutely true that the climate is always and has always changed. This is demonstrated by the eight documented ice ages/warming cycles the earth has experienced, none of which could have been caused by man’s actions. Rather, these changes were caused by natural factors. Historically, it is clear that man’s ingenuity and creativity have resulted in protecting us from temperature fluctuations. Critically, the ability to deal with climate changes requires access to plentiful and inexpensive energy sources which the Left desperately wants to curtail. The Biden regime has canceled pipelines, stopped drilling and made us dependent on other countries. Instead they push solar and wind sources which will never be able to meet the needs of modern society and present their own environmental risks such as dead birds, whales and mining for rare earth minerals. Instead of inexpensive energy to heat and cool our homes and work places, they want us to pay more for energy and to drive electric vehicles that are not only expensive but have limited utility for the average family. Meanwhile we become more dependent on our adversary, China that provides 90% of solar panels and wind turbines. THIS IS SOCIATAL SUICIDE!!! How do they get away with this? FEAR. They constantly bombard the American public with predictions of climate disasters and blame any negative climate event on climate change. They also label anyone who questions their conclusions as “climate deniers” and try to shut us down.
We must fight back and encourage creative ingenuity to solve whatever nature sends our way. We need more nuclear power which the Left always blocks as well as using all available fossil fuel so we can return to energy independence that was last achieved by the Trump administration. The emissions from coal plants in this country have been reduced dramatically by innovation. We need to stop all the tax incentives and subsidies for solar and wind. Encouraging innovation is the best way to deal with climate change not retreating to a primitive way of living.
