Flight to EWR yesterday.

Go outside to the normal spot the limo/van picks us up. It's a big lot; has busses for employee parking, too.

Except....it's blocked-off. No vehicles. A bunch of big white tents are set up. There's a portable generator running.

What the....? Not many people around....must be over. I wonder what this (annoyance) was, and where I am supposed to get picked-up.

There are long picnic tables in the tents, and guys are tearing it down....including gas or charcoal-fueled grills. Generator running power to the tents; some large delivery trucks are being readied to be loaded with all this gear.

I flag a guy walking by. "Hey, what was this? And do you know where we get picked up?"

He didn't know where pick-up was moved, but he had the other answer.

"It's Earth Day....you missed it!"

As I muttered choice phrases about the hassle of finding my ride to the hotel, I wondered:

How exactly did any of this activity REDUCE the carbon footprint?

Oh....that's what I thought.

From the article...

simply improving people’s understanding won’t necessarily do much to change their stance. This is because people’s opinions on many topics rest largely on their political affiliation, rather than how well they understand the science.

Total and utter bullcaca.

Funny how the "studies" cited do nothing to address the hypocrisies, collusions, data fraud, monetary interests/benefits, and overt, hostile threats towards dissenters by warming alarmists and how these affect "people's opinions".

(^^^^ Read: the studies cited do nothing to address how the behaviors and actions of the alarmists subvert and undermine their message. But do we really need studies to show why people resist "Do this or else!" messaging?? No. We don't.)

After all, it's pretty easy to believe folks like Al Gore are FOS when his warming predictions fall flat on their face while he's touring around the world in his private jet/motorcades telling everyone else to reduce their carbon footprint and invest in green companies he owns.

And I'll not even mention that the climate alarmists ridiculously claim they accurately know what the climate will be like in 100 years, yet they can't tell us what the Wx will be 2 weeks from now. Oh, wait...I just did mention said ridiculousness.




Next?

Default Climate Hustlers showing tonight

Showing at a theaters May 2:

Official Climate Hustle Site






Scorching temperatures. Melting ice caps. Killer hurricanes and tornadoes. Disappearing polar bears. The end of civilization as we know it! Are emissions from our cars, factories, and farms causing catastrophic climate change? Is there a genuine scientific consensus? Or is man-made "global warming" an overheated environmental con job being used to push for increased government regulations and a new "Green" energy agenda?

CLIMATE HUSTLE answers these questions, and many, many more. Produced by CFACT and CDR Communications in the one-of-a-kind entertaining and informative style that has made CFACT's award-winning ClimateDepot.com one of the world's most sought after sources for reliable, hard-to-find facts about climate issues, this groundbreaking film tears the cover off of global warming hype, and exposes the myths and exaggerations of this multi-billion dollar issue.

CLIMATE HUSTLE, hosted by award-winning investigative journalist Marc Morano, reveals the history of climate scares including global cooling; debunks outrageous claims about temperatures, extreme weather, and the so-called "consensus;" exposes the increasingly shrill calls to "act immediately before it's too late," and in perhaps the film's most important section, profiles key scientists who used to believe in climate alarm but have since converted to skepticism

Why only one night? Hopefully they make it available on the internet after today.

Some of us have to work so Bernie Sander's fans can stay home.

Because there is no profit in exposing fraud.



"Hey folks, we don't need to spend any money worrying about carbon footprints. It's all a giant hoax designed to part you from you're money.

That'll be $10, please."
