The Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition, among whom there is seldom a disagreement on anything, have been trying to sell us the idea that we’re facing a world ending “climate crisis” for the past 50 plus years. Yet, the world is still here. 

These alarmist of the wacky Left would be the first to admit that they’ve frequently had to change their comical doomsday cries of “apocalypse,” over the past half-century. Like Chicken Little, they cry, “The sky is falling!” Except it isn’t and never will.  Like a desperate gambler’s frantic last cast of the dice, the Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition is always coming up with new alarmist gimmicks in their forlorn attempts to scare us into accepting their failed policies.  Yet, the people still aren’t buying their damaged goods.

In the 1960s, they warned that our oil supply would soon be depleted and if we didn’t make a “drastic change,” it would be the end of our society. In the 1970s, the headlines proclaimed that our “poor environmental stewardship” was leading us into “a new ice age” where the civilized world would “parish” if we didn’t make “drastic changes in our lifestyles and public policy.” Yet, the ice age never materialized. In the early 80’s, the new Leftist buzzword of alarm was, “Acid Rain,” caused by our “industries” or translation: our employers. That ploy didn’t work either. By the 1990s, the Left’s clarion cry was, “Global Warming.” Yet, when things didn’t get warmer, they changed the title of their con to “Climate Change.”  How convenient. If temperatures drop, it’s “climate change.” If temperatures increase, it’s “climate change.”  If temperatures stay the same it’s still, you guessed it, “climate change.”

Along the way, the Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition has given us the most dire and dystopian predictions. On August 10, 1969, an article in the New York Times: “We must realize that unless we are extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.” Really?

In 1970, prominent environmental academic Kenneth Watt, sounded the “ice alarm,” speaking in Pennsylvania at Swarthmore College: “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but 11 degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

Time magazine asserted on June 22, 1974: “Telltale signs are everywhere, from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest. Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7”

On July 18, 1976, the New York Times predicated that the environmental crisis would end agriculture in America when it stated, “… the news for the future is not all good. The climate is going to get unreliable. It is going to get cold. Harvest failures and regional famines will be more frequent. Weather will probably make history—again.”

  In 1982, Mostafia Tolbia, executive director of the UN’s Environment Program, pointed to the possibility of widespread devastation in less than 20 years. He cited “an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, and as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust.”

In February 1993, Thomas Lovejoy, assistant secretary for Environmental and External Affairs at the Smithsonian Institution, stressed the world had one remaining decade of opportunity to avoid calamity. “I am utterly convinced that most of the great environmental struggles will be either won or lost in the 1990s and by the next century it will be too late.”

Then again, maybe not.

  These and literally thousands of other doomsday predictions have been made going back to the 1960s. Yet, our focus should not be on the doom and gloom forecasts but rather, on what these prognosticators of our climate demise want us to do in order to avoid “catastrophe.” These wild predictions concerning the end of civilization after all, are designed to scare us into acting. Specifically, they are seeking our acquiescence in the destruction of capitalism and individual rights. The very values that made the United States a world superpower. A system which has created the most prosperous society in the history of mankind. How do we know this?

We know this because if you listen to or read them carefully, they tell you as much. At a 2015 news conference in Brussels, Belgium, United Nations “Climate Advisor” Christiana Figueres, admitted that “the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.”

As far back as 2011, The Nation Magazine, a stalwart publication within the Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition proclaimed the battle is to be defined as, “the environment vs. capitalism,” and the ultimate destruction of the later. The UK’s Guardian screamed in a headline, “Dare to Declare Capitalism Dead- before it takes us down with it!”

Who would buy this you ask? In truth, not many among the average citizenry. Think about it. For the past forty years, the Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition has beat this drum everyday in the media. Their cohorts who run our public schools have attempted to indoctrinate our children in this Marxist dogma in the very schools we support with our tax dollars. These radical environmental themes have run rampant in Hollywood films and Television programing. The Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition has spent untold billions of dollars to “educate us” on the environmental crisis caused by capitalism. 

So, after decades of the Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition trying to scare us into their way of thinking, they have some monumental achievements which they alone are entitled to take full credit for, as follows:

1. A 6-3 majority of conservative Supreme Court Justices who don’t buy the damaged wares they are peddling.
2. A Republican/Nationalist Congress who recognizes them for what that they are.
3. Donald Trump, an America First President who calls climate change “a big hoax,” and refers to the Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition as being, “scum!”
4. Millions of young voters who reject socialism and climate alarmism. Also known as “young Trump supporters.”
5. Large shifts among ethnic minority voters who continue to trend Republican.

So, we owe the Communist-Socialist-Progressive-Liberal coalition our sincere gratitude. Keep up the good work my Commie friends! Your brand is radioactive and you repel far more than you attract! Yet, you unintentionally do our country and its capitalist system a great service.
