Nothing is going to make me embrace climate change like having kids yelling at me. Oh wait, no it won’t.
The Climate Strike
About two hundred kids got together in Washington DC this past weekend and had a climate strike. What is a climate strike? Not sure. It’s the weekend and the kids obviously don’t have jobs so I’m not sure what they are striking. But after watching the children and their speeches, I think the climate strike is a series of speeches where the little whipper-snappers just start yelling into the microphone and hating adults. Here a clip from some of the speeches courtesy of the Daily Caller:
There are a few things to get out of this.
First it’s all the fault of their parents and other adults. You know, the ones who but their food, give them shelter and keep them clothed. They are also blaming the previous generations that gave the iPhone that they are taking their selfies with. And the one that gave them Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so they could post those selfies. And the Internet that allowed them to look up all the overblown BS that they are spouting. And text messaging that allows them to send each other messages bitching about how bad their lives are.
Next, they gave nothing. All they did was scream and yell and stamp their feet and blame their parents. They didn’t talk about the science. Probably because they don’t really know what the science is. They didn’t give any solutions. They told us they would fix this mess but have no ideas on how they’re going to fix it. They did mention the Green New Deal but that doesn’t explain how it’s going to fix anything. They didn’t use reason. They restated the problem (which doesn’t help anything) and used emotion. Which should be expected because they’re kids!
Finally, why these kids in Washington DC? Go to China. Go to India. They are currently beating the United States. China by three times. Because the United States has cut its emissions. China and India, on the other hand, has doubles their C)2 emissions. Oh, I know why they don’t go. First they’ll have to fly next because they’ll be thrown in jail being accused of being spies.
OK, so there are a few things that we’ve learned from this:
- Kids are dumb. Their prefrontal cortexes are not developed which is why they are so emotional and can’t reason for crap. Heck, if we based voting on their prefrontal cortex, they wouldn’t be voting until 25.
- They shouldn’t be voting. See above.
- They do not have any idea how good they have it. These kids, who probably have a thousand dollar iPhone with a cracked screen in their back pocket, appreciate nothing.I have a tough life but I appreciate all I have.
- Finally, our kids are brainwashed. Our public schools are indoctrinating them. Our news media is confirming the indoctrination. And Hollywood is bringing emotional confirmation. Ugh!
But that wasn’t the idiocy of the week. Let’s talk about Greta Thunberg.
Greta Thunberg
This is the biggest load of crap I’ve heard all week. And I’m going to tear this up, line by line, because this little girl, who is a high-functioning autistic with OCD, is about to win a Nobel Peace Prize. I might be violating the Dave Rule tonight.
