THE "EXISTENTIAL" CON

WITH THE U.N. IN TOWN THIS WEEK, HIZZ HONOR, DE MAYOR IS SET TO
SPEAK TO THE ASSEMBLED LEADERS, DICTATORS. POTENTATES AND THUGS.
HIS SUBJECT: CLIMATE CHANGE....HE CALLS IT THE "EXISTENTIAL"
CRISES/CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME. SOUNDS TERRIBLE, RIGHT?? THE END OF
THE WORLD IS AT HAND....WELL, THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT THE PRESENT
WORLD WILL INDEED COME TO AN END; BUT IT WON'T BE BECAUSE OF
CLIMATE CHANGE.....
I LEARNED IN GRADE SCHOOL THAT THE EARTHS CLIMATE HAS CHANGED
OFTEN DURING HUMANITIES BRIEF "EXISTANCE" ON THE PLANET.
ACCORDING TO SCIENTISTS, THERE WAS AN AGE OF DINOSAURS, WHEN
THE EARTH WAS A HOT STEAMY JUNGLE, WITH EARTHQUAKES AND
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS IN CONSTANT. THEN SUDDENLY AN ICE AGE
OCCURED THROUGH NO FAULT OR INFLUENCE OF HUMANITY.....
THEN, GRADUALLY THE ICE MELTED. A TEMPERATE CLIMATE TOOK
HOLD. THERE ARE STILL HOT SPOTS LIKE AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA, INDIA
AND THE MIDDLE EAST. THERE ARE STILL FROZEN SPOTS, I.E. THE NORTH
AND SOUTH POLES. SO, PERHAPS CLIMATE CHANGE IS CAUSED BY THE SUN
AND THE EARTHS ANGLE TO AND DISTANCE FROM  IT???
AIN'T NUTHIN HUMANITY CAN DO TO PREVENT CLIMATE CHANGE OR TO
STOP IT. ALL WE CAN DO IS ADAPT....
SO, WHAT IS ALL THE PROTESTING ABOUT?? THE PROTESTORS TELL US
THAT IF THE RICH WEALTHY CORPORATIONS WOULD "DISTIBUTE" THEIR
MONEY TO THE POOR AND DOWNTRODDEN OF THE NATION AND THE
WORLD, THEN THAT WOULD BE GOOD...BUT WOULD THAT STOP CLIMATE
CHANGE?? WELL, THEY DON'T SAY... BUT I SUSPECT THAT IT WON'T.
OTHER PROTESTORS BLAME THE OIL AND COAL COMPANIES FOR
POLLUTING THE AIR AND WATER. THEY DEMAND THAT WE REDUCE OUR
"CARBON FOOT PRINTS"
THE LEADERS OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE MOVEMENT HAVE THE BIGGEST
"CARBON FOOT PRINT" OF ALL, I.E. AL GORE, WITH THEIR PRIVATE JETS,
CHAUFFERED LIMOSINES, YACHTS AND 20 ROOM MANSIONS.....WHY
DON'T THEY PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH?? AND THE REST ARE JUST
A BUNCH OF GREEDY, BITTER PEOPLE WHO WANT SOMETHING FOR
NOTHING.....
