Well, the global warming, climate change loons are at it again.

Lately, we’ve all been regaled with predictions of doom and gloom form weather weenies like AOC, who told us a while back that civilization would end in 12 years if we don’t do something about climate change now, and by something, she meant that we need to do away with cars, boats, trains and airplanes immediately.

That would make it virtually impossible for any such given loon to make it to wherever the next climate change conference is to be held, but that’s quite beside the point I suppose.

Then it was Beto O’Dork who shaved 2 years off the AOC prediction and told us all that we only have 10 years left before civilization comes to an end if something isn’t done regarding the weather at taxpayer expense.

Apparently, according to liberals…

we can change the weather by throwing other people’s money at it, and while I fail to see just how such flinging of money will alter what we know to be cyclic weather occurrences that have been going on since the day our earth was invented, liberals claim that the only way to preserve humankind is to fling money like there’s no tomorrow.

Things on this planet have a long history, if one considers roughly 4.5 billion years to be a long time, of getting warmer, then cooler, and then warmer again, and then cooler again…

Are you starting to see the pattern here?

In fact, just a couple of weeks ago, according to observations made at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii showed that our planet’s current level of atmospheric CO2 hasn’t been this high in the last 800,000 years. I know what you’re thinking. If man has only been here for the past 200,000 years, who measured the atmospheric CO2 level 800,000 years ago?

As it turns out, thanks to air bubbles trapped in ancient ice, scientists who drill down more than 3 kilometers deep into the ice sheets over Greenland and Antarctica, can see how temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have changed from then until now.

Which of course begs another question, if CO2 levels were as high 800,000 years ago as they are today, how did they get that high without man causing it back then, if we are causing it today?

According to scientists who have nothing better to do, In our 800,000-year record, it took roughly 1,000 years for CO2 levels to increase by 35 ppm, or parts per million, but they say we’re currently averaging an increase of more than 2 ppm per year, which means that we could go from today’s 410 parts per million, or ppm to an average of 500 ppm within the next 45 years, if not sooner.

Which begs yet another question. If we have only 12, or perhaps 10 years left before civilization goes poof, why in climate change hell should we give a happy damn about the weather forecast 45 years from now?

Sure, plants need C02 to grow and thrive, but too much C02 is bad, just as not enough C02 is also bad. That much we know, but what we don’t know is how other people’s money, or more to the point, exactly how much of other people’s money is needed to bring C02 levels into the exact right balance once we turn the weather over to government control. Given the fact that the government can’t seem to find the exact right balance of money to maintain a constant regarding the price of a postage stamp, I feel a bit reluctant to believe they can find the proper formula to balance the weather.

Anyway, all of that said, the climate change loons are indeed at it again, and this one’s a doozy.

It seems that the Journal of Experimental Biology has published a paper that claims if we don’t do something with however much of other people’s money the government can get its grubby little hands on, a whole new, and potentially dire outcome is at hand due to climate change.

Octopusses, more commonly known as octopi, will go blind.

Apparently, throwing other people’s money into the air to change C02 levels isn’t the only place we need to throw other people’s money. We’re also gonna need to toss a substantial amount of it into the oceans, because according to this group of weather weenies, the warmer it gets, the less oxygen there is in the ocean, and without enough oxygen in the ocean, the poor octopi will go blind.

Yeah, I know, how do they know this, right?

Well, it seems that this particular group of scientists has tested the theory by taking 2 crabs, an octopus and a squid and putting them in tanks and then reducing the oxygen levels in those tanks for 30 minutes. They found that even with a tiny drop in oxygen, the 2 crabs, the octopus and the squid all developed immediate vision loss, leading to a state of near-total blindness before they quit trying to suffocate the seafood.

To answer your next question, I don’t know. Maybe they had an eye chart next to the treadmill the shrimp was running on.

Here’s an interesting aside for you. Liberals who preach the gospel of climate change are the same liberals who have a farting cow every time somebody tosses a live lobster into a pot of boiling water, but they don’t seem to have a care in the world when a bunch of covert ops weather scientists engage in the underwater equivalent of waterboarding crustaceans, a squid and an octopus.

Here’s what we do know. The deeper you go in the ocean, the less oxygen you have, and octopi, squid and crabs all spend their nights closer to the surface because that’s where the buffet is, and during the day, they dive down to lower levels to avoid the lunch crowd. Now, if there’s less oxygen the deeper you go, and these tasty creatures go blind if the oxygen is lowered just a bit, it would stand to reason that during the day, they can’t see crap, while at night, they have the eyes of a fighter pilot.

So, what’s the problem? Is there any reason to be worried about a sea creature that can’t see squat half the time as it is?

Nope, and here’s why. Back in 1970, at the beginning of the global warming religion, scientists were predicting the end of civilization, and the end of the world in short order. Paul Ehrlich, in 1969 stated that by 1975, food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. That didn’t happen. Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for the very first Earth Day in 1970 had a gloomier outlook, stating it was already too late to avoid mass starvation.

In 1970, Life magazine reported, “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….”

In 1970, Sen. Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look that, “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

Naturally, some astute folks began to point out that these predictions of global warming weren’t panning out, so some scientists and global warming preachers changed their tune. In the early 1970’s, Kenneth Watt shifted his sermons to a pending Ice Age. “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

When that didn’t happen, just like all the other alarmist predictions failed to happen, the church of global warming and freezing changed their name to “Climate Change” so that regardless of what the weather did, whether it got warmer, colder, windier, more or less humid, dryer or wetter, there would be something to blame, something for which to pass the collection plate for other people’s money, and a possible telethon to be organized to provide seeing eye flounders for blind crabs, squid and octopi.

People like AOC and O’Dork tell us that the only way to save civilization is to go 100 percent green energy by 2024, and the only way to do that is to throw other people’s money into it, but here’s the problem. We know that 800,000 years ago, there was the same amount of C02 in the atmosphere as there is today, which the climate change loons tell us is going to kill us all, and yet back then, the only energy available was green energy. There weren’t any people around to create or use anything else.

There were no cars, boats, trains or planes, no aerosol sprays and no coal fired power plants. Guess what else didn’t exist 800,000 years ago. Politicians and other people’s money. Even so, without any sermons or tax money, the C02 levels dropped, and who knows what would have happened had people not been invented and eventually started burning fossil fuel. Maybe the C02 levels would have dropped so far that plants would have started dying.

The way I see it, nothing but green energy got the earth’s C02 to 410 parts per million 800,000 years ago all by itself, so I rather doubt going back to that will drop C02 levels much below that now.

The earth has a way of self-correcting because the weather has always been changing with or without other people’s money being involved, and it will continue to do so regardless of what we do.

Should we be turning a blind eye to blind octopi?

Well, as accurate as all the doom and gloom predictions regarding climate change have been so far, liberals are going to have to come up with something more clever than that if they really hope to scare anyone with a lick of common sense and a working brain cell.

Now, being as I’m in north central Nebraska, and it’s a nice spring day, I think I’ll go outside, sit in a lawn chair, sip on a Margarita that I made with a gas powered blender…

And listen to the cows fart.
