Democrats believe Trump is god: Blame him for the WuHu flu

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 6 hours ago
Weeks ago when Trump stood up a task force to address the WuHu Flu/Cornoavirus/Covid 19 situation the most cogent comment from the left was CNN complaining that the task for was too white. But now Democrats are falling all over themselves to blame Trump for a natural disaster; a new type of flu. Given that even insurance companies know "acts of God" when they see them it would appear that by declaring that Trump controls nature itself they must be saying he's god. That would be the most credible option if Democrat politicians and pundits actually believed in God. Just kidding. De... more »

#FakeNews media guy is hoping the WuHu Flu kills old people because they don't believe in climate catastrophe

Ed Conway who appears to have absolutely no scientific credentials is sure that climate change is going to kill us all unless of course we give the government all our money and our freedoms. Based on his amazing ability to trust any scientist who says that unless we give the government power over everything we're all going to die he's concerned that old people won't agree to giving up their money and their freedoms based on some discredited political claims by scientists whose funding depends on spinning science.

Millions Dead? What If There Is No Possible Plan to Stop Climate Change?

John Quiggin at The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*John Quiggin* *Environment, Americas* In some areas of human activity such as farming, we are exhausting our capacity to adapt to climate change. There is growing evidence that Earth’s systems are heading towards climate “tipping points” beyond which change becomes abrupt and unstoppable. But another tipping point is already being crossed - humanity’s capacity to adapt to a warmer world. This season’s uncontrollable bushfires overwhelmed the nation.

If Biden Is The Democratic Nominee... The Presidency Will Hinge Not On Policy But On Comparisons Between His And Trump's Dishonesty, Family Members And Dementia

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 8 hours ago
I'm no clairvoyant but it didn't take much insight to figure out that if the Democrats nominate Biden, Trump will make the race into one that asks each voter to grapple not with pressing issues-- especially since Biden, like hillary before him, doesn't really for anything other than anti-Trump-- but with who has a more repulsive corrupt family, who lies more and whose dementia is further advanced. Democrats who vote for Biden in primaries and caucuses deserve that kind of a campaign... and the pre-ordained results. Tucker Carlson's propaganda website was on the dementia aspect on ... more »

Peter Cresswell at Not PC - 8 hours ago
*"The position of art in the scale of human knowledge is, perhaps, the most eloquent symptom of the gulf between man’s progress in the physical sciences and his stagnation (or, today, his retrogression) in the humanities. The physical sciences are still ruled by some remnants of a rational epistemology (which is rapidly being destroyed), but the humanities have been virtually abandoned to the primitive epistemology of mysticism.

London – Within about fifteen years, the great tropical forests of Amazonia and Africa could stop absorbing atmospheric carbon, and slowly start to release more carbon than growing trees can fix.

Since then, the measured efficiency of the forests as a “sink” in which carbon is sequestered from the atmosphere has been dwindling. By the last decade, the ability... more »
