How does the left keep their base with such ridiculous ideas.

Good Stuff. One does not have to 'research' too long to discover the foolhardy liberals. I think rather than ideas, it is 'wishes',,,,they want all this stuff to happen, so that everyone, not just a section of our society, will be equally miserable. Alas, they will get their wish when someone like AOC takes over the presidency in 2024. Now, THAT is my prediction!

A good thread would be the resulting business closures, such as Mcdonalds, car manufacturers, motorized plants, airlines, etc when they do take over.

Hahaha, I noticed one of those doomsayer predictions was the one I cited in here this week, acid rain turning the Great Lakes into vinegar LOL! that was 1980.

Funny stuff. But leave it to a politician, AL Gore, to find a way to make a $Billion off of scare mongering. That way beats that minister that predicted the end of the earth, and "oh -btw, send me all your money". LOL!

Closing McDonald's would go a long way towards reducing health care costs.

“One does not have to 'research' too long to discover the foolhardy liberals. I think rather than ideas, it is 'wishes',,,,they want all this stuff to happen, so that everyone, not just a section of our society, will be equally miserable. ”

It is ironic that you attribute only to the liberal side, an tendency of human nature that is universal and independent of leftness or rightness. It is almost as if you want all this stuff to happen.😁

50 years ago there was hardly any such thing as environmentalism.

Environmentalists, their activism, and their governing ethos have bought mankind many more decades of existence on Earth.

You're welcome.

Just look to one of your most famous liberals, Bill Maher, he wants there to be a recession. You may think he is saying that tongue-in-cheek, but I believe he really does. Liberals are out of their minds Add to that that liberals cannot think past tomorrow

Yes thank you. I don’t really know the particulars on that, I will trust that you are right and so good. I’ve never said that liberals have not done anything. Liberals have done good things but I will not bore that on this thread. So have conservatives.

You don’t get it. I am not saying Bill Maher or any other liberal does not desire a recession. I am saying this wish that there be a disaster - one that proves the wisher’s point, is not limited to liberals. It is summed up in “Don’t say I didn’t tell you this would happen if we did it your way.” Husbands and wives do it all the time.

Don’t say I didn’t tell you so.😁

Using our 20/20 hindsight, it is clear that there was some unwarranted alarmism in the 1960s and 1970s regarding the imminent collapse of the world's ecosystem. This does not mean, however, that we should scoff at every prediction of an impending crisis. Surely no one can deny that the world's ecosystem is in trouble, and getting into deeper trouble each year.

Humanity has to make every effort to put its house in order, or Mother Nature will do it for us. And Mother Nature doesn't give a damn about polls, or who is liberal and who is conservative.

Three from the first 4 are from Paul R, Ehlrich.
Wiki has this to say about him;
Critics have disputed Ehrlich's main thesis about overpopulation and its
effects on the environment and human society, and his solutions, as well
as some of his specific predictions made since the late 1960s. One criticism
concerns Ehrlich's allegedly alarmist and sensational statements and inaccurate "predictions".


Now I suppose you want to compare one maverick's warnings with the
warnings of virtually the whole scientific community regarding the climate?

Take that mis-statement out and you have no point.
