Predictably, much of the doomsday rhetoric is focused on the issue of climate change. The United State must act now. Eliminate the filibuster. Enact the Green New Deal immediately to authorize trillions of dollars in new spending to reduce our country’s 15 percent (and falling) share of global carbon emissions, even though most Americans say they are unwilling to spend even $10 a month to accomplish that goal.
But absent some ambitious military campaign to carpet bomb Chinese and Indian industrial centers, it’s unclear how eliminating cars, euthanizing the U.S. cattle population, and installing solar panels on every single building in America is going to forestall the end of the world, should the most dire predictions prove accurate.
All the Democrats have to do is not be crazy, and they can’t even do that.™
But to paraphrase Kathy Shaidle on Trump as Hitler, I’m already on (at least) my fourth apocalypse.
