In our Madness Chronicles episode 24, we’ll take a look at the madness in the continuing alarm of climate change. Remember that insanity is a state of mental illness, especially severe, extremely foolish behavior, and a state of frenetic or chaotic activity. Let’s take a look at the ramblings and the awakening of climate madness.
In a recent Ted Talk, disaster recovery attorney (seriously, did you know we had something like that?) Colette Pichon Battle told attendees that scientists predict climate change will displace more than 180 million people by 2100. She says it will be a “climate migration” crisis that the world is not prepared for. She urged everyone to radically restructure the economic and social systems that drive it all. Others believe it is a human rights issue.
Pope Francis recently called for a ‘new economy’, an economy that is sustainable and supports the planet. Making those comments in a recent address to the Vatican’s diplomatic corps, the pope harshly criticized the response of world governments to the catastrophic effects of climate change, calling their efforts “very feeble” and “a source of grave concern.” Is it just me or what ‘catastrophic’ effects have we seen?
Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, recently said that climate change is central to a bank’s mission. The Fed, the ECB, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan have now embraced climate change as part of their mission. Governor of the Bank of Japan. Haruhiko Kuroda warned: “The challenges posed by a series of recent natural disasters and the potential impact on the economy from slowing growth abroad need to be better addressed by the government with fiscal and structural policies.” These bankers concluded that the loans will have to be linked to the borrower’s preparedness for climate change. Remember, he, with all the money, makes all the rules.
A group linked to George Soros has joined forces with the mainstream media to ensure that climate skeptics are silenced on YouTube. The group, going by the name Avaaz, is a left-leaning nonprofit group. They posted a report on their website claiming that YouTube is “profiting from spreading misinformation” to millions of people by placing too much weight on climate change denial videos. They are leading other groups in a coalition to get YouTube to block the voices of climate change skeptics. Freedom of expression?
Starbucks, the self-proclaimed poster of the left, is calling on customers to change the way they act. Namely, by 2030, the coffee shop chain is targeting 50% reductions in the amount of water it uses, the carbon it emits, and the trash it sends to landfills. Environmental consultants hired by Starbucks warned customers that the best thing they could do to reduce the company’s harmful impact on the planet would be to buy cheaper drinks and forgo milk.
Instead of buying fancy frappuccinos and indulgent espresso-based desserts, customers would do better to buy plain black espresso. For people who must have the frappucino, Starbucks says to think about skipping the whipped cream. Adding whipped cream to millions of drinks emits 50 times more greenhouse gases than the company’s private jet. You can’t really make these things up. Wall Street wasn’t impressed, but maybe everyone in line for their frap’s would be.
With all the China virus hysteria we are being bombarded with today, they may not need climate change to subdue us all, but who knows? May we wake up from this madness before it’s too late. I wish you good health and until next time, have fun, enjoy life and beware of the madness among us. She’s getting out of hand.
