I still haven't gotten back. :)

Wow. Didn't take long (third post on the board) before someone appealed to this heavy rain to push the enviro-doomsday agenda.

Why does it really seem that, no matter what the weather, people will jump on it to push the "climate crisis" hoax?

When it rains a lot -- climate crisis!

When it doesn't rain -- climate crisis!

When it's really hot -- climate crisis!

When it's really cold -- climate crisis!

When it snows a lot -- climate crisis!

When the winter is relatively warm with not much snow -- climate crisis!

So it rained a lot -- an awful lot -- in western Japan today.

Guess what? It frequently does that. And has been doing so for thousands of years.

Just remember -- 0 for 50. A .000 batting average. That is literally the enviro-doomsday crowd's batting average since the 1970s.

No fewer than 50 alarmist doomsday predictions have been made by this crowd over that time span ... and not a single one has come true. A literal zero-zero-zero batting average.

Any other activist movement with THAT sort of lousy track record would have been filed away in the "lack of credibility" bin a long time ago & thus considered irrelevant.

Why does THIS movement, despite its perfect record of failure, get cut so much slack?

Only rained a little but my weeds loved it.

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

Rainy season is almost finished. Then the oppressive heat and humidity.
