And in climate change, they found an emergency big enough to justify grabbing more power -- in fact, taking control of everything...There you have the modern left's climate agenda: no drinking straws, no automobiles, no airplanes, no meat, no democracy. In their place, endless propaganda and a parade of 15-year-old Red Guards yelling at you to stay in line. That's what they're promising you."

33 persons per km^2 isn't crowded. It's about 1/6 the density of Ireland (at 181 per km^2), one of the least densely populated countries in the EU.

As I said elsewhere, I'll gladly nominate him for a Darwin Prize, I hear they're twice as prestigious.

Much easier to get, too!

"You have stolen my dreams, my childhood, with your empty words...We are in the beginning of a massive extinction, and all you can talk about is the money, and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you. For more than thirty years the science has been crystal clear."

"She is the Greta Effect. She's causing and instilling fear in millions of kids around the world, and actually has them believing that Government can legislate our climate...It's almost like medieval witchcraft again."

At work.
Fekkin' twat-waffle that Mark Moran seems.
I seem to remember CFC's and the effects they were having. Wasn't it 'Gov'mints' writing laws that quite effectively limited industry practices which saw direct reductions of CFC effects?

Trump wanted someone from Ukraine to blow the whistle on Biden, but when someone blew the whistle on Trump, he apparently deserves the death penalty.

People in power obviously hate whistleblowers. We had two recently during the Obama years. One went to prison, and got put in solitary, and the other is hiding in another country. We really need to put more focus on domestic threats, while the administration yells about foreign ones.

Again, a lot of Trump's troubles seem to stem directly from the fact that he doesn't know what a lot of words mean.
A 'spy' isn't anything remotely like a 'whistleblower'.
'Oversight' isn't 'treason'.
'Investigation of hiding politically sensitive information in a code-only access computer file intended and used for top-level national security issues as a way to cover up presidential misconduct' doesn't mean the same thing as 'witchhunt'.

Is Trump a sleazy politician? Does the pope wear holy underwear?
Like it or not Executive Order 12356 - in place since 1982 gives the President the authority to classify or declassify information AT HIS DISCRETION....
Clinton used it. Obama used it.... If it was a really bad idea - they should have countermanded the EO.....
They didn't.
No big surprise it gets abused.
