Climate Con

I have never understood how companies, like Ford, could so completely fall for the Climate Con narrative. Ford has lost multiple billions on their EV venture. GM has lost less, but still some billions. Now we see that Hertz is eating a few hundreds of millions on their misadventure in saving the planet. Are the leaders of these companies that clueless or has the government been putting pressure on, or bribing, them to trod this insane path?

It's only a couple of hundred million

A recent study which demonstrates the insanity of the Climate Con.

Very bad return on investment

As I previously mentioned, "climate change" has become the new "the dog ate my homework."

Wow. 51 inches in a day. I didn't think that was possible.

To state the obvious. Water is wet.

Girls more easily conned on Climate Change

I was out hiking/biking/trail-clearing on Green Mountain yesterday. The trail I was rehabilitating was in a quite remote spot. It took climbing a rather steep, rocky incline even to get to it.

So I hadn't expected to meet anyone, particularly on a Tuesday. But a fellow did come unexpectedly up the trail. I found out that he was from a small town in northwest Washington called Clallam Bay. It is so small and remote, I doubt if 90% of Washingtonians had ever heard of it.

But it's the town my mother comes from. And it's a small town. Her graduating class had something like 8 people in it. I'm talking small. And her many brothers and sisters lived there for years as well, thus her maiden name (which I won't mention here for security purposes) is a name that would be thick and well-known in the area.

And this fellow I met did have a friend who was part of my mother's clan, although I don't know how exactly that I'm related to this John fellow that he mentioned. He's likely a second cousin or something. I'm not sure how that all works.

Anyway, this fellow that I met on the trail from Clallam Bay was nice enough. But in the midst of our rather one-sided conversation (he sort of wouldn't shut up) he asked if there were any beavers still in the area. I told him there was at least one beaver dam I was aware of where the dam was still being maintained, so thus there must still be some beavers around.

Then he tells me out of the blue that beavers are said to be part of the cure for global warming. I did my best to hide any negative reaction and just stayed mute on the subject.

But, goodness gracious, what a cult of lunatics. How many beavers are left in the wild? There are surely some. But you clearly would need to be a cult lunatic to grasp at the straw that beavers somehow were good for curing "global warming." Even if one takes the premise that there is too much CO2 in the atmosphere (there is not), one must then ask oneself: What do beavers do? Why, yes, they cut down trees. What do trees do? They remove carbon from the air.

So, by right, we ought to be killing as many of these glorified rats as we can find in order to "save the planet." But somehow beavers are good for the planet. Except, of course, when they are not. I was told by a fellow with a history of Green Mountain that one time they had to destroy a beaver dam because it was flooding some important roads.

Anything with "science" in its name is now suspicious to me. But "science.org" has an article: What Role Do Beavers Play in Climate Change?



So it's a wash, even if you believe in the fake science. So what can one say to a fellow so caught up on the climate cult that he will spout this gibberish to a stranger? And it's not a religion, although there are similarities. Although it does seem to act in the same way in regards to giving purpose and meaning to the secular life, it is really a cult. And when is the last time you've talked a cultist out of anything?
