Climate change caused Ozzy Osbourne to eat bats and Freddie Starr to eat hamsters.

Has anyone checked to see if the dolphins are still around? Have they left yet?

I think they have, although I didn’t get the message of thanks for all the fish. Darn.

I refuse to watch the video, I am out of brain bleach and it’s on backorder on Amazon.

You have to watch it just to see the Energy Reporter and bobblehead reporter. You can turn the sound off.

There have been so many pandemics and epidemics globally it is probably very easy to correlate a subset to anything you want.

If industrial farming and urbanization are a major source of pandemics then how many pandemics have come from Tokyo, London, New York, Mexico City or from the US or European farms? The US should be pumping out those viruses all year round?

Hey! LA Times! Paving over the planet reduces all tick-Bourne diseases by eliminating ticks. Development and domination of nature is actually quite healthy for human beings. Let’s pave all of LA … eh? Oh? Already done? No Lyme disease in LA then, Right? Congratulations!

They are right !

This pandemic and the CAGW are strongly related :
– both have induced (or are inducing) devastating reactions,
– both are totally exagerated if not downright manufactured,
– both are pushed by a completely biased MSM to insane levels,
– both expose the gullibility and ignorance of most of the people and the complete incompetence of the so-called “experts” and politicians.

Well said Petit_Barde
I couldn’t agree with you more. The only word I would change is ‘expose’ and substitute ‘exploit’ for that.

There is now solid evidence Climate Change belief lowers one’s IQ.
But then it’s a circular logic loop, with causality arrow running both directions.

I thought the (gag) meant that the video was going to be a humorous parody…little did I know you were describing the bodily reaction upon watching the video.
