The Daily Caller dropped by the climate strike in Washington, D.C. on Friday to learn more about the activists who are demanding that you and I change the way we live, eat and go about our lives.
You may be surprised to hear this, but most of the activists are just like us. They wear products made from fossil fuels, they own cars, many told me they eat meat but also claimed that they were “cutting back,” and they’re certainly okay with killing trees — as long as those trees are used for the silly, meaningless signs they paint buzz phrases on to virtue signal to everyone else.

I confronted a few of the activists about their use of products made from fossil fuels and things got a little uncomfortable to say the least.
Really no one could give me a good answer, and in a nutshell, the answers I got pretty much shifted the blame to our society. No one wanted to take responsibility for their own actions.
Shouldn’t they be living by example?
Several activists also opened up to me about their “climate change sins” and again, they’re just like the rest of us who weren’t skipping work, or missing school.
When exiting the rally we noticed the trash cans were overflowing with plastics and even perfectly good signs that could have been reused for the next ‘do as I say, not as I do’ event.
The hypocrisy is astounding.

“A few hours later, [AOC] tweeted a selfie with the staffer holding the child in a seat next to her on the plane … “Team AOC … are … subsidizing costs to bring baby and partner along for certain trips.”
AOC and her staffer were on their way to Boulder, Colorado, where she joined fellow House freshman Joe Neguse (D-Colo.) for a “Climate Emergency” panel discussion in the morning, along with a fundraiser for his campaign.”
Three seats on an airplane trip from DC to Colorado to attend a “Climate Emergency” panel. Obviously you can’t Skype In to something like that.
I will believe it is an emergency when they act like it is an emergency.
do we want these idiots no longer using condoms (petro-chemical item) and multiplying??
They make them out of lamb (?) intestines but I don’t know how they seal them.
(Besides, since many of the beliefs they hold in some ways seem to be a modern version of Gnosticism, they might not believe in reproducing anyway.)
What the demonstrators demonstrate most clearly is that our educational institutions have failed us.
+100!!
Clyde, they may have failed humanity but they are performing exactly as planned. A population with enhanced percentages of imbeciles and the insane are much easier to control. Populations with a high quality education and a diet high in fats and protein are notoriously rebellious; thus the push for vegan and vegetarian diets by the Green Blob. Thank you for all you do to enlighten the benighted.
Sometimes, but not very often, I wish there were a young’un under my roof spouting the schist. I would love to say, “Ok, we’re going to be part of the solution you are advocating, and we start now.” Then lock the car keys in the safe, and flip the main circuit breaker off.
Books and warm beer suit me fine. The young, probably not so much.
All,
Articles on eco-left stupidity and hypocrisy are all good fun, but please don’t lose sight of how rapid and successful the left’s march through the institutions has been. While we can all laugh at how stupid or hypocritical or indoctrinated some of these young people seem to be, these attributes were all incurred under the tutelage of their elders, i.e., us. I know I have sat silently through any number of “woke” meetings at work, and that the majority of the goods and services I require are purchased from companies that daily mouth green and other egalitarian platitudes. Not pointing fingers at anyone but myself.
Fortunately, I got out before things really got bad, and I have no children. If we can avoid their collapsing our countries for another ten to fifteen years, I’ll be ridding myself of this mortal coil. Today’s youth (middle agers, by then) can create whatever hell they want after that.
We are living in the apex of human existence. Instead of appreciating what they have, they wallow in existential angst, and seek to tear things down. They deserve the future they desire.
It might be interesting to calculate the amount of CO2 generated and the land area necessary for 7 billion people to cook, heat and travel with only non-fossil wood/plant sourced/powered clothing, appliances, transportation, etc.. And, I almost forgot, all medication and medical devices would have to be generated using only wood/plant based chemicals.
How long before the Earth would be deforested? We would definitely be ushering in a new world.
“If you believe that the use of fossil fuels is bad then you should stop making use of all goods and services that make use of fossil fuels.”
