DC CLIMATE CHANGE RALLY GOES FROM HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS EXPECTED TO… JUST HUNDREDS:

But what if you actually want to stop ‘climate change?’ Well, go back to those people on the street, and ask them whether they want a buck-per-gallon gas tax hike.  Or working to shut down more heavy industry in the United States.  Or doubling or tripling the subsidies offered to ‘green energy’ companies. Or, indeed, anything else that would be drastic, significant, and above all relevant to people’s daily lives. You will get… hundreds showing up to a climate change rally on the Mall*.  Because talk is cheap.

…Which is possibly why it’s so profitable for the aforementioned people who are only in all of this for the money, huh? Generate visible but ultimately meaningless enthusiasm for a cause for pennies, sell that enthusiasm to gullible sorts with more money than sense for dollars, make a tidy profit on the difference.  God bless the American Way.

I don’t understand why, when grilled by old media about global cooling, global warming, climate change, climate chaos, or whatever it’s called this week, Republicans don’t respond by asking the interviewer, well are you prepared to see cut? Should we eliminate NASCAR? The NFL? Hollywood? Your TV network? I mean, if you’re telling me it’s a crisis — then when will you and your employer act that way yourselves?
