The Daily Plunge

One of the fascinating aspects about the whole Global Warming debate is the fact that no one talks about adapting to change. The alarmists never tell anyone that, according to their models, the entire world would have to return to a pre-industrial stone age to un-change the climate.

How come progressives who believe wholeheartedly in evolution and adaptation don’t believe mankind can adapt to climate change? Have the earth’s species adapted to a constantly changing climate in past eras? Or, was that whole adaptation thing an illusion? Bjorn Lomborg has an op-ed in the Washington Post that discusses some common sense ideas to reduce the urban heat effect and how mankind has adapted to change in the past.

Since 1930, excessive groundwater withdrawal has caused Tokyo to subside by as much as 15 feet. Similar subsidence has occurred over the past century in numerous cities, including Tianjin, Shanghai, Osaka, Bangkok and Jakarta. And in each case, the city has managed to protect itself from such large relative sea-level rises without much difficulty.

The process is called adaptation, and it’s something we humans are very good at. That isn’t surprising, since we’ve been doing it for millennia.

Lomborg’s argument is reasonable, but no one in the Global Warmongering industry is interested in common sense reforms. The billion-dollar industry is all about taxing and controlling the public. That’s what the state wants and that’s the inevitable conclusion of every leftist organization. It’s also the goal of fascism, socialism, Islamic fundamentalism and any other ism that has produced great human suffering.
