CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 21, 2019
“THERE’S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN,” WRITES SOLOMON IN ECCLESIASTES. HE MIGHT HAVE LAUGHED AT THIS STORY AND SAID, “I TOLD YOU SO.”
THE YEAR WAS 1989. A SENIOR UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICIAL PREDICTED ENTIRE NATIONS COULD BE WIPED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH BY RISING SEA LEVELS IF THE GLOBAL WARMING TREND WAS NOT REVERSED BY THE YEAR 2000. HE PREDICTED “ECO-REFUGEES”, COSTAL FLOODING AND CROP FAILURES.
NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE STILL HERE BECAUSE NONE OF THIS HAPPENED. NOW A NEW CROP OF END OF THE WORLD FANATICS ARE PREDICTING WE’LL ALL BE GONE IN 11 OR 12 YEARS – JUST AS BEFORE – IF WE DON’T ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE. THESE INCLUDE SOME DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND THAT ANNOYING ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ WOMAN.
AMERICA HAS REDUCED ITS CARBON EMMISSIONS. CHINA AND INDIA HAVE NOT. IF WE SPENT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, IT WOULD HAVE LITTLE EFFECT. THIS IS A GAME TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS A PROBLEM AND GOVERNMENT IS THE SOLUTION.
MORE CONTROL, MORE TAXES, MORE SPENDING. NO RESULTS. THAT’S THE PROFILE OF MODERN WASHINGTON. IF YOU WANT A REAL END OF THE WORLD SCENARIO, READ THE WORDS OF JESUS AND REVELATION. I’M CAL THOMAS.
