Just stand up and say no.
These people are using junk science to push an agenda.They know all to well that if they tried to implement their complete slate, we would cast them into the world of hellfire and slam the door. So, they are operating incrementally - a little nudge there, a sugestion here. Bumping our Overton Window a little bit further each time.
They are now pushing us out of our petrolium powered cars and into electric cars.
Wave of the future. Best thing for the planet.
Until the next click of their ratchet. From Issues and Insights:
We’re Taking Bets: How Long Before Environmentalists Start Attacking EVs?
Today, you’re not allowed to say a bad word about electric cars. They’re planet savers, after all. Environmentalists tell us so. But there will come a day — in the not-too-distant future — when the climate change fanatics will decide that EVs are planet killers, too.
We’ve seen this bait-and-switch tactic before.
Back in 2007, energy producers pumped money into environmental groups to promote natural gas. The Sierra Club used the funds to mount a “Beyond Coal” campaign touting the benefits of gas. Joe Romm, a climate advocate at the Center for American Progress, declared that natural gas “may be the single biggest game changer for climate action in the next two decades.”
Then came the fracking revolution, and the resulting abundance of natural gas caused power plants across the country to switch to gas from coal. Then environmentalists decided natural gas wasn’t so good after all. By 2015, they were at war with it. The motto for the Sierra Club’s new “Beyond Natural Gas” was “Dirty, Dangerous, and Run Amok.”
Environmentalists tried to stop fracking, opposed new pipeline development, and then started pushing for bans on gas-fueled appliances.
And EV's?
So our prediction is this: As soon as automakers have gone over the edge with EVs, and as soon as government mandates start to kick in, environmentalists will declare them “dirty, dangerous, and run amok.”
We’re already seeing the early stages of this bait-and-switch. This week, the Los Angeles Times blasted GM killing off its compact Bolt to make room for battery-powered EVs. The Times said that “Replacing the Chevy Bolt with electric SUVs would be a climate tragedy.”
Wait. Climate tragedy? Really?
Turns out, only certain EVs are now acceptable to environmentalists.
And of course, the logical progression:
At some point, no electric car will be good enough. Environmentalists will “discover” that building car batteries is massively damaging to the environment. They will be shocked to learn that EVs aren’t “zero emission” at all, because the electricity used to charge them still largely comes from fossil-fuel-powered generators. They will decry the fact that EVs are making human-right-abusing despots fabulously rich. They will say EVs aren’t doing nearly enough to stop the climate “crisis.”
The only solution, they will say, is that we give up private ownership of cars, move to “15-minute” cities, cram into public transportation — until they decide that these encumbrances aren’t sufficient to fight “climate change.”
Unlike predictions of climate doom, we are 100% certain that this future will come to pass if we keep trying to placate the climate zealots on the left.
Just say no. The environmental movement started out with good intentions but it has been hijacked by the WEF / One World Governemnt / Social Marxism crowd for their own slimy purposes and is now just a political agenda masquerading as an environmental concern.
We need to bring back the pillory. I can think of a couple hundred people who need to be locked in a public square somewhere and loudly mocked and pelted with rotting vegetables. Restore some sense.
