The Grande Dame of Town Broadcast, Lynn Mandaville, took strong exception to my asking the American left if they still believe the “settled science” of global climate change ending the world by 2030.

My point is that they lied to us for years and spent trillions on a false premise. The American left is now back-peddling on climate change ending the world in 2030 so fast that if was an Olympic sport they would win the gold. Ms. Mandaille’s point was that I should not be concerned with the lies and exaggerations and move on to more politically correct issues, so I guess we can assume bold-faced lies in the name of a good cause are noble and need not concern us.

Ms. Mandaville waxed eloquently years ago about folks who tell lies: “But there’s one more thing that the liar has told me about him or herself. He has told me that he cannot be trusted. He can’t be trusted with common decency, to be sure. Nor can he be trusted, in general, with fact. Everything he or she says is now suspect. And the more lies that are told, the less and less credence can be placed in even the simplest statements the liar makes.”

Well, Ms. Mandaville, we have been lied to for twelve years now, so if the left lies it is fine, or better said, politically correct to guide the nation in the direction necessary to achieve a noble goal; a socialist concept is the end always justifies the means.

Ms. Mandaville penned the comment: “Mr. Traxler cannot seem to get past the musings of some environmental activists that the world is going to end in 2030, that it is settled science that deems it so, that AOC and Bernie Sanders are the primary proponents of this widespread myth, and that somehow all this is closely associated with a socialist movement intended to replace our democratic republic.”

It’s not just “some environmental activists,” the UN Secretary General, AOC, the Paris Climate Accords, IPCC, The Potsdam Climate Institute, BBC, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NOAA, NIS, UNEP, DNC (in two national platforms), Senator Sanders, Senator John Kerry, Vice President Albert Gore, to name but a few. Most are also back-peddling so fast they also would win the gold. The new year is becoming 2050 for Armageddon. Please do not forget the social media providers who banned people who denied the end of the world due to climate change in 2030.

She went on to say “I would suggest that the battle we ought to be fighting is not one of whether 2030 and settled science are accurate, or even reasonable, terms to describe our situation.”

So did they lie to us or not? Apparently, the truth only matters when the lies are from the conservative side? Apparently spending trillions based on a lie is fine as long as it is a politically correct lie, and the money goes into the proper pockets.

To quote an uber-liberal friend, “So, what if some blowhard claimed that 2030 was the End Of The World?  So what if they claim it’s settled science?”

Well, we have changed our nation based on the lie, we have spent trillions based on the lie, that is the “so what!” Lying, cheating and stealing, censorship, canceling, calling for violence (even to deny medical care) against the dreaded science deniers is the “so what”.

You folks cannot say the death of 7,800,000,000 good people is a scientific fact unless the world pays you more $50,000,000,000,000 in 20 years then take the money and  forget you said it when the date nears, then move the date twenty years down the road and demand more money.

If we blindly, unquestioningly followed medical science, we would still be bleeding people.

It took 2 million years for the population to reach 1 billion humans, 200 years for it to grow to nearly 8 billion; people also produce carbon, 26% of it is not from fossil fuels. The world population is rapidly increasing, currently 85 million per year.  The world will run out of food long before climate change kills us all, and we will run out of food faster if the Green New Deal becomes law.

That’s a politically incorrect thing to say, but organic farming produces 25% less food than traditional farming. Want a new path to follow work on banning organic farming so the world will not run out of food and go to nuclear war over rice?  Oh, and the idea that we can “compel” China or India to be more environmentally responsible is wishful thinking, as they will not actually do anything that goes against their own best interests.

So, Ms. Mandeville, if as you said about a liar “Everything he or she says is now suspect.” true or must we frantically believe the Climate Change folks? No need to answer that.
