Doug Powers: The New York Times is making a personal contribution to Al Gore’s cause by finding reasons for alarmism wherever they may exist (or not):
Among the alarms being sounded by New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristoff is, of course, the ravages of man-made “climate change”:
I came to Easter Island while leading a tour for The New York Times Company, and those of us in the group were staggered by the statues — but also by the reminder of the risks when a people damages the environment that sustains it.
That brings us to climate change, to the chemical processes we are now triggering whose outcomes we can’t fully predict. The consequences may be a transformed planet with rising waters and hotter weather, dying coral reefs and more acidic oceans. We fear for the ocean food chain and worry about feedback loops that will irreversibly accelerate this process, yet still we act like Easter Islanders hacking down their trees.
OK, that was all just a buildup to the “you can’t make this sh*t up” part of the post. Here’s why the Times is able to sound those climate change alarms all around the world this year:
Glad to see IOTW back this morning. I was finding “Temporarily Unavailable” this morning.
Me too, for about an hour.
Of course the first stop had to be Cuba.
The “devastating effects” of a booming economy under proper
MAGA management.
I’m thinking he should also take a busted down motorcycle through China. Breathe it in, dipshit. They’re nagging the Americans about green this and green that, and China’s air looks like cinnamon butter. Go bust their balls, mr. private jet. And good luck getting out of prison afterwards. lol.
The NYTimes doesn’t even read its OWN stories regarding the apocalypse they cite in the twitter feed. What a bunch of jagoffs
“The “end” of the moai-culture was also more probably a slow process (not concluded at the arrival of the first Europeans in 1722) than a sudden traumatic Hollywood-catastrophe. Also the very first written reports describe the locals not necessarily as desperate survivors and the island as a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The Rapanui replaced the trees with shrubs and prevented soil erosion, they grow plenty of food using effectively millions of rocks as stone mulch. Much damage and soil erosion observable today on the island was done after the European colonization, especially with the introduction of large livestock that increased significantly soil erosion in the 20th century.”
Sooooo… it’s the FIRST day of spring… & the global climate warming change peace, love, & doob crystals are piling up outside (8″ expected tonight), and we’re supposed to KEEP believing this tripe?!
STAY on Easter Island, NYT. It’s COLD back here in the really REAL world… 🙄
Why didn’t they take an electric plane?
Fukkin hypocrites!
Or one of those wind-driven, perpetual-motion planes? Y’know, with the windmill on the top to run the electric turbines to turn the propellers on the wings? Seems like something some Affirmative Action Electrical Engineer could easily design.
