Green Is Closet Racism

That experienced political campaign director I used to know – I once asked her opinion about climate change. She replied “All this green nonsense – it’s closet racism. They want to deny Africa cheap energy, to keep them poor”.

    Same motivation for the Greens in California but they want to keep the Okies and the Hispanics poor.

    And donald trump speaks for all republicans. This is regains welfare queen cadillac again. If dealing with climate change was easy we would be doing more. Your betting your grand children’s lives you are right.

    I don’t think it’s so much racism but rather a romanticized vision the greenies have towards undeveloped countries and cultures.

    For the greenies, these underdeveloped peoples are seen as more authentically human because they don’t live with the modern conveniences we in the West have. They are a living museum for the greenies. These people represent an unspoiled humanity that the greens are determined to keep in existence.

    It’s not racism, it’s moral vanity. Much of modern politics, Left and Right is an exercise in moral preening.

    or perhaps it is that if we don’t do something about climate change, the areas that these folks live in will become unlivable.

    @junesxing You mean they are livable now?

    Simon, I think that “experienced political campaign director” was, as the Brits say, “spot-on”.

    Absolutely. Unspoiled by antibiotics, indoor plumbing, and out-of-season foods. Nobel savages, half dying before the age of five and the rest before the age of 40.

    That’s what the greenies want. To them the Age of Enlightenment was the original sin.

    @Captain.

    I understand now. You know your grandkids will be ok – we have the technology to help us. You want us to sacrifice Africa’s grandchildren for yours. And Asia’s. And probably Europe’s and South America’s as well. And you think that will actually help.

    That’s assuming, of course, that global warming is anything human-controlled.

    I was just googling sulfur hexafloride. Turns out the usual panty twisters are all excited that SF6 is POTENT GREENHAUS GAZ!!!! oboy oboy oboy

    As it turns out, SF6 is also 5 times denser than air. Release any and it sinks to the floor and sits there. Kinda hard to do any greenhousing from ground level.

    LOL

    Maybe we should start them off on dihydrogen monoxide as a major factor in global warming (which it actually might be…).
