Climate Change Unlikely to Top Democratic Issues in 2018 Elections

Climate Change Unlikely to Top Democratic Issues in 2018 Elections

This is possibly the worst summer box office at the movies for Hollywood, perhaps in history.

With numbers down over 70 percent, The New York Times declared Al Gore, starring in “An Inconvenient Sequel,” “one of the most compelling characters” in this summer’s movie lineup. The Independent Sentinel reported on August 7, “Al Gore’s Documentary Bombs! An Emoji Toon Movie Makes 25 Times More!” The documentary grossed less than $1,000,000 the first week after initially opening in only four cities. After five weeks Box Office Mojo showed that it was playing on 127 screens, down 327 the previous week. Apparently, even the global warming fanatics are not going to see the movie. Can it be so terrible?

The Washington Times reported on August 22, “It was a tough weekend for Al Gore. Not only did ‘An Inconvenient Sequel’ continue its nosedive at the box office, but the climate change documentary also drew a scathing rebuttal from a leading climate scientist. As stated above, by the fifth week, it was not only down to 127 screens, but it was averaging only $661 per screen."

The critics came out and they were not just movie critics, but reputable scientists. Climatologist Roy W. Spencer, the principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, released an 81-page e-book on Amazon titled “An Inconvenient Deception: How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy.” Mr. Spencer went on to say, “After viewing Gore’s most recent movie, ‘An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power,’ and after reading the book version of the movie, I was more than a little astounded.” Mr. Spencer said on his blog, Global Warming, “The new movie and book are chock-full of bad science, bad policy, and factual errors.”

Science Daily reported as far back as April 19, 2011, that “Most Americans now agree that climate change is occurring. But many still disagree on why, with opinions about the cause of climate change defined by political party, not scientific understanding.” This was according to new research from the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire.

We were all manipulated about the melting of the polar ice caps and polar bears dying. Look at this image below from NASA of the polar ice caps between 2012 and 2014. Do you see something different rather than the rhetoric coming from the climate change crowd? Remember Mr. Gore’s prediction that the polar ice would be gone by 2013? Look again and see if you can figure out the truth in size of the polar ice cap?

It seems to me that just the opposite has happened and the Democrats can’t explain why. More and more Americans have come to understand that climates have always changed. If you live north of the Mason-Dixon line, the southern border of the State of Pennsylvania, you know the weather changes every year, and it always has as long as you have lived. Your simple guess is that it will continue to change; some years will have more rain or snow or heat or cold. The lack of climate changes not meeting the degrading forecasts from people like Al Gore, who are sure man is causing the problem, are finding their followers dropping by the wayside. This story has run out of gas. There are people in America who are probably working on new technologies that may well eliminate all CO2 emissions. Don’t look for climate change to be high on the Democratic list of issues for the 2018 mid-term elections. The global warming fanatics will be very angry with the party over its abandoning of the issue. But there is more to this hoax on the people of the world.

The part of the issue that is more damaging to the global warming cause is the polar bear and its possible extinction. Susan J. Crockford, of the Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, published a report on March 2, 2017, that said, “Both assessments predicted that significant population declines of polar bears would result by mid-century as a consequence of the summer sea ice extent rapidly reaching 3-5 m/km2 on a regular basis: the IUCN predicted a >30% decline in total population, while the USFWS predicted the global population would decline by 67 percent (including total extirpation of ten sub-populations within two vulnerable ecoregions.)” She went on to say, “As a consequence, the hypothesis that repeated summer sea ice levels of below 5 m/km2 will cause significant population declines in polar bears is rejected, a result that indicates the ESA and IUCN judgments to list polar bears as threatened based on future risks of habitat loss were scientifically unfounded.”

At least two generations of children in America and around the world have been falsely brainwashed to believe that the polar bear will disappear in their lifetime. The ostensible reason for the loss of the polar ice cap and in turn the eradication of the polar bears has been CO2 emissions. These children will spend the rest of their lives living with an ingrained lie that they will not be able to reject as false. Teachers will continue to spew this false science, because the falsehood that their parents are responsible for the death of the polar bear and so will they if we don’t stop climate change now.

I find it interesting that with the United States withdrawing from the Paris Accord and the global warming movement losing trillions of dollars in funding from the United States that concern in that area is waning no other nation has stepped up to take over the American funding. We have the responsibility to reverse these falsehoods by teaching our children, regardless of their age, the truth. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party will not do this and the lie continues. The Democratic Party owes the world an apology for its deception, but as the old saying goes, “Hell will have to freeze over first” before the Climate Change people admit they were wrong.
