**** Kids protest worldwide in new Children's Crusade against climate change

Protesters on Friday in Brussels (top) and Hamburg (bottom) (CNN)

There's a new Children's Crusade going on, as kids in cities around
the world took part in a general strike from school on Friday, and
held protests with hundreds of thousands of kids in cities around the
world.

On Saturday, hundreds of kids attended a Youth Climate Summit,
sponsored by the United Nations. The kids demanded an end to climate
change, and many said they've decided not to have children, rather
than bring children into a world destroyed by climate change. They
said they wanted an end to use of fossil fuels, and parroted the claim
that the world come to an end if carbon emissions didn't stop by 2030.

As usual, it's really only about money. Activists demanded money for
a fund to help poorer nations adapt to a warming world. The whole
purpose of the Paris Climate Treaty was to extract money from the
West, particularly the United States, to give to the pet projects of
the activists. As far as the US is concerned, Donald Trump has
already withdrawn the country from the Paris treaty, so the activists
have no hope of getting American money for their pet projects.

One of the facts that the kids won't be talking about at the climate
change protests is that, of all the major countries that signed the
Paris treaty, there's only one that's actually reducing carbon
emissions -- the United States. America's power plants will emit 2.3%
less carbon dioxide this year compared to 2018. That's because of
fracking and abundant supplies of natural gas.

One other thing that won't be mentioned is that China already has
largest number of coal-fired power plants in the world, and that China
has just announced plans for a massive number of new coal-fired power
plants. You can be sure the leftist climate activists will never
mention this, or anything else that criticizes their beloved Communist
country.

**** Earth Day, 1970 -- déjà vu all over again
****


A recent article quoted some of the predictions that climate
scientists were making in 1970, in celebration of "Earth Day."

Here are some examples:
  • Harvard biologist George Wald: "Civilization will end within
    15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems
    facing mankind."
  • NY Times: "Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not
    merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable
    deterioration and possible extinction."
  • Population studies scientist Paul Ehrlich: "Population will
    inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food
    supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200
    million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten
    years.
  • Denis Hayes: "It is already too late to avoid mass
    starvation."
  • North Texas State University professor Peter Gunter: "Demographers
    agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975
    widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to
    include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By
    the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will
    exist under famine conditions.... By the year 2000, thirty years from
    now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North
    America, and Australia, will be in famine."

Today we can see how ridiculous these 1970 predictions by population
scientists turned out to be. Below we'll show how today's predictions
by climate scientists are equally ridiculous, but for now I want to
make the point that these 1970 scientists were incredibly stupid.

It's a fair question: If they're scientists, then how come they were
so disastrously wrong? And why would anyone think that today's
scientists would be any less disastrously wrong?

To show how stupid these scientists were, look particularly at the
last of the predictions referenced above. Let's assume that their
prediction that came true that there wouldn't be enough food to feed
the world. Then would widespread famine have occurred -- 1975 in
India, all of Asia by 1990, South and Central America by 2000, the
rest of the world after that? Is that guy a total idiot?

There's no way the people of India would just sit there and starve to
death. And there's no way that the rest of the world would let them.
The same with the other countries.

So people like Paul Ehrlich. George Wald and Peter Gunter are really
stupid. It's hard to believe anyone, let alone a scientist, could be
stupid enough to believe that the people in India, Asia, Africa, and
so forth, would just sit there are starve to death.

So what would happen? There would be riots, demonstrations, and
international conferences, but if things got really bad, there would
be war. But nobody would just sit there and die of starvation, and
these "scientists" are total idiots to believe so.

**** The stupidity of today's climate scientists
****


I will show that today's climate scientists are just as stupid as the
one that predicted disaster after 1970 Earth Day.

But first, let's make note that climate scientists have been wrong,
time after time. Al Gore quoted climate scientists as saying that the
Arctic ice cap would disappear completely by 2013, and so those
climate scientists were wrong.

And then there's the biggest prediction of them all: That the world
will end unless carbon emissions end by 2030. What does that even
mean? If the temperature of the earth increases by 1 degree or so,
then does everyone burn to death? That's ridiculous. Maybe some
polar ice caps will melt and some islands and beach fronts will
disappear, but that won't be the end of the earth.

So what will really happen? Once again, the climate scientists are
too stupid to understand that even if their predictions about global
warming are true, it will mean war.

In fact, there will be one or two world wars in this century with or
without climate change. In the last century, there were two world
wars, and massive additional wars in Asia and Africa. In every
century for millennia, there were massive wars on every continent and
every region. So it's 100% certain to happen in this century.

You can already see the signs of it. There are millions of refugees
in Asia, Syria, Africa and Latin America traveling in large groups to
other countries, including America, Europe and Indonesia. There are
sky-high military tensions in China and the Mideast. All that's
needed is for some small event to flare up into a regional war, and
then a larger war.

And what of the Paris treaty and climate change? That's just a silly
fantasy anyway. The only country reducing carbon emissions is the
United States, and all the other major countries are increasing their
carbon emissions. In particular, China is aggressively planning a
massive number of new coal-fired power plans. China needs these as it
prepares to launch a world war, and will not stop building them under
any circumstances.

Getting back to those kids who are protesting climate change in cities
around the world, some of them have said that they won't have kids,
because how can you bring kids into a world to be destroyed by climate
change?

Well, with world war coming, now they have another reason not to have
kids.
