Apparently, Getting Old Causes Climate Change

Charles Rotter There was a time when the climate conversation had villains you could point to without needing a spreadsheet. Smokestacks. Jet engines. Maybe a coal plant belching away like it had a personal grudge against the atmosphere. Simple. Tangible. Satisfying. Then things got…creative. First it was your car. Then your diet. Then your vacation. Then your thermostat. Then your dog. Then your coffee habit. At some point, the message quietly shifted from “some activities produce emissions” to...

No problem since all the climate alarmists in government positions have to do is attempt to enact legislation for mandatory termination of lives at a certain age. Since global life expectancy is currently at 73 years, once a person has reached that point the authorities would have decided he/she had used up his right to utilize any more of his share of the planet’s air, water, and natural resources and and therefore must be willing to allow the upcoming generations to get their fill. So the seniors would have to voluntarily appear at a government-run center and be terminated. Yet there’s one little sticking point: if climate change is such an existential threat, won’t the global population start dropping by itself? And wouldn’t the government officials behind the overall proposal be exempt from termination because they’ve got so many important things to do to make certain their plans go smoothly?

I’m 73 and I live alone in a single family house in Southern FL. I hate cold. I love the heat. I don’t turn the AC on unless it gets up to 87 in the house. Except for the dead of winter, I use fewer than 8 Kwh per day. I walk a lot. I’m coming up on my 1 year or 10K miles maintenance on my car. I’m 6K short on mileage. That 4K miles in the past year includes a 2500 mile trip to KY to help my sister through the death of her daughter.

How much more energy do you want me to save?
