Ms. Ancrum,

Of course, the science is “settled”. Just ask Ptolemy. Along came a cheeky Eye-Tie who looked in his telescope and said “Pero si muove” and the world was changed, utterly.

Just ask Fred Hoyle. Who?

I won’t mention Darwin lest you think I am, not only a “deplorable” but an ignorant one to boot. I ask but one question. Why, after almost 160 years, is his Theory still called a theory?

Didn’t Paul Ehrlich tell us more than 50 years ago that we all be dead by the year 2000? Didn’t former Vice President Alpha Gump tell us 30 years ago that we would all be fried to death in 10 years?

Check the weather records for Boston in 1821. It was known as “The Year Summer Never Came” because it snowed in June. Did Trump cause that?

Here’s a poser. According to the local Injuns, Hudson River Aborigines, the word “Adirondack” means “dry and bitter ground”. And that was 2 centuries before the Industrial Revolution and its dreaded “acid rain”. 

Every 750,000 years or so, the Yellowstone Basin explodes, ending life as we know it. I don’t want to remind the world but we are in the middle of the “envelope” for it to happen again. If we promise not to breathe out and we train our cows not to fart it still may be too late to break out the ’66 Latour and listen to the overture of “The Marriage of Figaro” for the last time.

Wazupwid Congresswoman AOC? She said we all be worm food in 12 years. It’s bad enough that she says it but not a single adult who believes that raising the minimum wage and taxes and increasing regulations are the keys for everybody to “fart through silk” has stood up and said “What a fucking moron”. The beauty of modern American Liberal nihilism, coupled with a large dose of mind-numbing, Guinness Book stupidity is that these poltroons daren’t say Jack Shit. The term “feckless cunt” comes to mind – She is terrified by a garbage disposal system, remember? – but that may be a bit harsh on Memorial Day.

If she is right, we’re doomed. If she is wrong, we’re doomed. At least Hobson had a choice. I am thinking of opening the cognac, lighting up one of the Cuban stogies and launching all my plastic straws into the Intercoastal. Why should the manatees suffer longer than they have to?

The United States, and who cares whether we are aware of the “existential threat” or not, has significantly and substantially cut its carbon emissions. China and India have not. Tom Steyer. A bloody hypocrite if ever one existed,   made a gazillion dollars selling “dirty” coal to them. [“Dirty” is defined as coal that could not, under any circumstances, be burned in this country. Whatever faults those countries have, having an aggressive EPA ain’t one of them.] And you want us to stay in the facacta Paris Climate Accord?

Here’s a plan for you. 

Turn off all you’re A/Cs.

No private cars.

Ban all plastic.

Walk the walk.

Show us the way.
