Had a kid show up at my front door last year. He’s wearing the obligatory leftist mask and carrying an iPad. He tries to hand me the iPad but I’m fully aware that’s an influence tactic so I decline. He proceeds to explain he’s gathering signatures to pressure our governor’s office to take climate change more seriously. First, I say, you’re wearing a mask to supposedly protect me from your germs, yet you want to hand me an iPad that you no doubt just handed to a bunch of strangers so that I sign it with my finger in the same spot others have done. Second, I said, climate change is bullshit. He didn’t know what to say and promptly left. Sadly, I’m certain he, his teachers, parents and friends are all bought-in and upon hearing his story will think I’m an asshole. Cest la vie.

A whole generation is brainwashed and sadly can't think for themselves. Had a group of Uni students here in Australia telling joe public that we should stop all oil and gas exploration. I said to them how then will we manufacture products as they all require oil and gas as indirect and direct inputs and not just energy.....crickets. They have no idea how stuff is made...I guess they think it is by magic and delivered by unicorns.

Kids love their commodity electronics. Have zero concern over their environmental impact which is, in fact, staggering.

In this so-called enlightened Information Age people are simply being led and doing what they’re told.

I guess that’s always been the case but nowadays it’s done faster more efficiently and effectively than ever before.
