#1 The editor of the New Yorker, David Remnick, says the Earth will "likely be an uninhabitable planet."

But, David luvvie, outside of Manhattan, the Hamptons, Beacon Hill, or that darling cottage where one summers, isn't the world uninhabitable already?

#2 A small number of people are hungry....

....and the answer is more government, more taxes, more regulation, more public funded grants for more studies.

People get tooth decay....

....and the answer is more government, more taxes, more regulation, more public funded grants for more studies.

People get hurt by criminals....

....and the answer is more government, more taxes, more regulation, more public funded grants for more studies.

Some places get polluted....

....and the answer is more government, more taxes, more regulation, more public funded grants for more studies.

A couple of decades of "climate change", in any direction?

....and the answer is more government, more taxes, more regulation, more public funded grants for more studies.

When the response to every "crisis", real or perceived, is to advance the causes of regulation and socialism, one wonders what the actual objective might be.

As the bear said to the hunter in the old joke, "You're not really out here hunting, are you?"

#3 My favourite quote on the subject is from the Chief Scientific Advisor (on climate change) to the UK Government, King, "By the end of the century, Antartica will be the only habitable continent."

#4 God this man can write! ROFL!

And those references to Scarlett Johansson's attire, or the lack thereof, will last me the rest of the day... Yummm...

How about -- stop me if you've heard this one before -- "climate change"?

ROFL! Bravo, Mark!

#5 And instead of killing his wife Martin Amis had to make do with divorcing her.
ROFLMAO!

Seriously, there's been life on this ball of rock for over 3 billion years. It's been much hotter in the past than it is now. Life will go on. We will go on.
