Climate Kooks Move the Goalposts 30 Years Down the Road

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a Washington Post story just dropped about a half hour ago. And this is how they’re moving the goalposts. It’s actually a tweet that then was expanded to a news story, and the tweet is this: “Even if we start to fix climate change, the proof may not show up for 30 years. We have to ‘manage our expectations,’ researchers warn.”

Even if we start to fix climate change, the proof may not show up for 30 years.

So you see how this is done? The first thing you do is you say, “Oh, my God. We’re destroying the planet!

“Man’s destroying the planet! America, progress, capitalism is destroying the planet.” You mean right now? “Well, 20 years.” You gotta predict it 20, 30 years out so that most people will not be alive to know whether you were right or wrong. So you get the instant gratification of predicting doom — but down the road. Then in those 30 years, you give people a chance at redemption.
