Stuffing us like a goose.

The Weather Channel is just on fire on the matter of climate change. Many entries now in the contest for "Most media hysteria generated in one week." I was going to give this Weather Channel climate change hysteria deal a rest after my last post but now I think I may have to make it a regular feature:

12/3/21 -- "Why Climate Change Causes Seas to Rise."

12/3/21 -- "How Climate Change Affects the Air We Breathe."

12/3/21 -- "What Is Climate Change?"

12/3/21 -- "How Climate Change Is Making Heat Waves Worse."

12/3/21 -- "Is Climate Change Making Hurricanes Worse?"

12/3/21 -- "Why Rising Temperatures Can Mean a Rise in Floodwaters."

12/3/21 -- "How Climate Change Is Making Wildfires Worse."

12/3/21 -- "What You Can Do to Help Slow Global Warming."

12/3/21 -- "How We Know Humans Are Cause of Global Warming."

12/2/21 -- "Smithsonian's Treasures Could Be Lost." Washington Mall built on former marshland and in an area that's seen more than 14" rise in the sea level in the last 100 years. Flooding becoming a problem. As sea levels continue to rise "scientists say" parts of the Mall could be completely under water. Venice on the Potomac.

12/2/21 -- "Climate Change Is Killing Seabird Populations, Studies Find." Global warming taking a terrible toll on sea birds.

12/1/21 -- "Back-to-Back Landfalls To Become More Frequent, Faster." "New study found time between [hurricane] landfalls decreasing as world warms."

12/1/21 -- "In Arctic, Rain Could Soon Be More Common than Snow." "And that’s bad news. Here’s why." Hint: unvaccinated pricks. No, wait! Burning rocks!

12/1/21 -- "Winter Is Fastest Warming Season in Much of US." All seasons feeling the effect of climate change but winters are warming the most.

11/26/21 -- "Antarctic at Tipping Point & That's Dangerous." Ice sheet "may" be at a tipping point. Bad news for coastal areas across the globe. Because of warming.

This all is instructive for reasons other than how the climate change hysteria is promoted. It illustrates how a propaganda theme beloved of the political elite is pushed relentlessly in the media. Climate change is just one such issue.

66. people can change their sex like the channel on the TV; and
67. Muslims are a perfect fit in every Christian nation.

There are others.

Was there ever in the history of man another time where there was such a massive effort to dictate such a grotesquely deformed elite version of how to handle the smallest details of life, even including our innermost thoughts? Or where the ruling elite depended on blatant censorship and violent street thugs to enforce its dictates?

Admittedly, this my usual litany of cosas terribles but I challenge any and all to say it's not something sorta kinda like an outline of our dying, lunatic nation. We no longer live in anything close to normal times and we should be aware of the toxic soup of propaganda in which we live. Alas, sooner or later the Cosmic Surgeon is going to look at the full accounting of our stupidities and crimes and say "Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and it ain't optional." That would be the "won't go on" part of Herb Stein's genius observation. That things that can't go on won't.
