Burn of the Day

I’m waiting for the day this girl ends up a washed up 40-something trying to revive her fame on a reality tv show. It’s all about fame for her and her handlers.

At the risk of emulating Captain Obvious, I believe Miss Thunberg has been used and abused by parents and others to advance the phony AGW narrative since she was a child. I recall reading somewhere that her parents hired a PR firm to get her face and prompted comments before the world. I wonder if she will ever realize the extent to which she has been victimized for others’ objectives? And what she will do when and if that happens?

Climate Change may not have wiped us out by 2023, but I’m pretty sure Michigan will be wiped out by 2030 courtesy of the idiots in Lansing who have decreed all our energy will be “clean” (think solar and wind power.)

We will freeze to death here.

“Prophets proclaim the truth, and they predict the future only in a derivative sense of cautioning about the consequences of denying the truth. Thus, the Church distinguishes between holy prophesying and sinful fortune-telling.

The less the Wisdom of God is heeded, the more people rely on fallible human calculations. Inevitably, the list of mistaken predictions keeps growing.

We may remember being told in the 1960s that within 20 years, overpopulation would cause universal starvation. Instead, we now have crises of empty cradles and obesity — birth dearth and increased girth.
…
In 1990, The Washington Post was confident that carbon dioxide emissions would have increased our planet’s average temperature about three degrees (and six degrees in the United States) by 2020. The increase has been only about one degree. If we trusted some experts, by now one billion people would be starving in the Third World due to climate toxicity, but instead the World Bank tells us that there has been a significant alleviation of dire poverty, with the assistance of developed countries and access to investment capital and prudent production.
…
There still are glaciers on Mount Kilimanjaro, despite a warning of the United Nations Environment Program in 2003 that by now they would have melted. In 1997, the Reuters newswire announced that by 2020 some eight million people would have died because of global warming catastrophes, while such deaths actually have reached historic lows.
…
While to err is human and to forgive is divine, as the Catholic sensibility of Alexander Pope opined, forgiveness requires apologizing. Wrong predictions in recent decades are conspicuous for their authors’ lack of contrition. It is as if they had absorbed the bromide uttered at the end of the sentimental film ‘Love Story’ in 1970: ‘Love means never having to say you’re sorry.’ If that were so, there would be no Act of Contrition in the Holy Mass, which is the world’s most sublime manifestation of love. But we are talking here about simple humility in anticipating the future.

Without accountability to God for the right use of reason, ideology mimics theology, disagreement is treated as heresy, neurosis fabricates its own apocalypse, and mistakes claim infallibility, with no need to say ‘I was wrong.’ ”

What a nasty looking face.
