RUSH: So more Hillary Clinton news here. She and her husband are down in the… It looks like the Virgin Islands, and you know what they\u2019re doing there? There\u2019s a tweet here: “Island nations and territories already bear the brunt of climate change. I\u2019m thrilled to be in the U.S. Virgin Islands this week with @BillClinton and @ClintonGlobal [Initiative] to meet some of the people and programs pioneering strategies for climate resilience.” Climate…? You know what they\u2019re probably doing is setting up another fake cell phone company run by her brothers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Climate resilience!<\/p>\n

“Yes, we\u2019ve got climate change. Now we must have climate resilience.”<\/p>\n

Wait, we don\u2019t have the ability to be resilient! The point about climate change is that we\u2019re powerless to do anything about it other than take our lifestyle back a hundred years. Isn\u2019t that the point of climate? There\u2019s nothing we can do! What do you mean, be resilient to climate change? These people are not for adaptation — and Joe Biden\u2019s on the case now. Grab sound bite number 29. Today in Berlin, New Hampshire (maybe it\u2019s pronounced Berlin), Vice President Bite Me speaking about climate change…<\/p>\n

BIDEN: It\u2019s an existential threat we face — and we know, uh, and you know that there are… Uh, they tell us we have not a whole lot of time beginning to change the direction. Now, the first thing I would do day one as president. I\u2019d rejoin the Paris climate accord which we, Barack and I, put together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: Classic. It wouldn\u2019t do diddly-squat. “We would rejoin the Paris climate accord.” You know what the dirty little secret here is? It is that no matter where you look, no matter what poll is taken, when people are asked to rank the issues from top to bottom on the level of importance, climate change is way down at the bottom. It\u2019s pretty much the case across all demographics. It\u2019s a little bit higher among Democrats, but even among Democrats it\u2019s not in the top five — and these people are frustrated to no end.<\/p>\n

I mean, they have been trying since the 1980s to do what? Essentially, they\u2019re trying to cause a shift in public opinion that would result in the granting of new, expansive powers by the government to levy taxes on certain resources, products, and behavior that the left wants to limit. That\u2019s all climate change is. It\u2019s a way of elevating and promoting large government, liberalism, socialism, or what have you. They\u2019re beyond frustration at their ability to get people to pay attention to it and take it seriously.<\/p>\n

I mean, a large number of people. Here again, there\u2019s an intellectual reason why they\u2019re having such trouble. For people my age, my memory of this goes back to the 1980s. I first came across the whole concept of global warming while watching This Week with David Brinkley one Sunday morning. They had some guest on there named Oppenheimer who was some climate change scientist from somewhere — some Northeastern, Ivy League school — and he was sounding the warning bell!<\/p>\n

He was painting a picture of doom. “See levels rising! End of the coasts! New York City and Miami gone! Perhaps,” he said, “in 20 years. We\u2019ve got 20 years!” So Brinkley says, “Are you sure about this?” He says, “Well, no, but we can\u2019t afford to not take action in case we\u2019re right.” I began to notice that all the predictions were for 30 years from now, 40 years from now — and they still are. Even the predictions 20 years ago… By now, 1980, that\u2019s 40 years ago. This stuff should have started happening, and it isn\u2019t!<\/p>\n

\"\"I think one of the problems is that they\u2019ve been crying wolf for so long that there isn\u2019t any evidence of climate change. They try to say this inclement weather here, that inclement weather there, but they just can\u2019t make it stick. Biden… I\u2019m gonna tell you right now: Biden knows that he is uttering pure BS. He knows membership in the Paris accords would not mean a damn thing. All he\u2019s doing is pandering. He\u2019s pandering to the Democrat base, and I don\u2019t know what percentage of them are big on this.<\/p>\n

But the fact is they have not been able to sell this, and they\u2019ve worn people down on it now so that they\u2019ve had to get so ridiculous with some of their future predictions. It\u2019s one of the greatest examples of how wrong liberals are and how catastrophic solutions to problems would be if they had the chance to be in charge of the solution. This is a nonexistent problem anyway. The climate\u2019s always changing. The argument we\u2019re responsible for it is absurd. We don\u2019t have that kind of power.<\/p>\n

Proof of that is we can\u2019t cause anything. We can\u2019t change anything. We can\u2019t stop a thunderstorm from coming. We can\u2019t cause a hurricane to weaken; we can\u2019t change its direction. We can\u2019t create one. We can\u2019t say, “Hurricane? Hurricane! I want a hurricane today. Start! If you\u2019re off the coast of Africa, we need a hurricane.” There\u2019s nothing we can do. We are totally reactive to this — and then once these inclement things happen?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing we can do to stop \u2019em, and then they absurdly come around and say, “Yeah, well, they\u2019re happening because of our SUVs,” or whatever the latest excuse is. And they\u2019ve been crying wolf for so long that they have started boring people, which is why I\u2019m as reluctant as I\u2019ve ever been to actually get into this in great detail because here, \u2019cause you\u2019ve heard everything I have to say and think about this. But these people keep trying to sell it and as long as they do, we are going to continue to try to knock it down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
