I'm Going To Agree With The Climate Crazies This Time

But quit telling me what I can and cannot do…

It was a bad week for Americans who cherish freedom and opportunity. Your ability to choose appliances, motor vehicles, even to travel, was in the cross-hairs of the Eco mob once again.

I’m not talking about the dingbats who glue themselves to art works and public highways claiming the world will end in three years if I drive my SUV cross-country. Although that lunatic fringe has been with us for a while, it got me thinking. They use Super Glue, a miraculous invention that I place up there with the pop-top can, Goo Gone, and the automatic transmission. We could live without them if we had to, but dang, they make your life a lot easier when you need them.

I wondered if that policewoman in the Netherlands, pouring vegetable oil on the eco-protestor glued to the pavement, should have doused the guy’s hand in Goo Gone. Leave a comment below if you know. Twice in the last month I’ve seen television characters use Super Glue to close gaping wounds on unlucky heroes. Doctors use a glue named Dermabond to bind the edges of skin together rather than stitches. If the authorities just yanked protestors’ hands off the pavement, could they repair the damage with either of these two products? My own suggestion here is to apply New Skin liquid bandage, another product that should have been on my list above.

The latest assault on sanity comes from our brothers of another mother, the mayor of London and his commission looking into limiting international flights to four per your lifetime. A recent survey showed over 40% of the French people thought this was a good idea. I respect the French even when I disagree with them. They gave us Monet, Madam Curie, Brigitte Bardot, the hair dryer, motion pictures, and that cool statue in New York Harbor. So when I hear something like this, I remind them it’s called the Statue of Liberty for a reason.

I thought international travel and immersion in different lands and culture was a good thing. It opens your mind to new customs, food, music, language, and ideas. The left should encourage these adventures for all the Americans they consider to be closed-minded, hillbilly rednecks. I guess when your human extinction timeline gets below ten years, your attitude changes. Surprisingly, I’m open to discussion with them, if not outright support for this, with but one caveat. It’s gotta apply to all. That includes John Kerry, Leonardo DiCaprio, all politicians, entertainers, sports athletes, and everyone running NGO’s.

My rub with climate crazies is their penchant for carve-outs protecting elites and mega-donors. It’s the same attitude they have towards capitulating to China on energy when the country is onboarding a new coal fired power plant every month. If you don’t have the guts to go up against them, quit screaming at the great unwashed to cancel their trips to Rome, Athens, and Paris.
