RUSH: All right.  “‘Climate Crisis\u2019 Media Coverage Raises Alarm About Journalistic Objectivity<\/a>.”  Really?  I was thinking about something during the top-of-the-hour break.  I\u2019m asking myself, “Why is this climate change so simple to me?  Why is recognizing how bogus it is so simple to me, and why do so many people…?” Otherwise, I mean, these are decent people.  They\u2019re just scared to death; they believe it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a matter of intellect because intellect isn\u2019t involved in the people that believe it.  Now, they think it is.  I mean, they think that they\u2019ve got science on their side.  But that\u2019s just window dressing the left hits them with to make them believe that their belief\u2019s superior.  But why do they believe it?  I really think it comes down to something basic.  I think that if you do not accept or believe in or have faith in or understand the majesty of God and creation, then you are ripe to be propagandized by this.<\/p>\n

\"\"If your view of all that is… The earth, the universe, the solar system, the planets, whatever. If your view of that is that it\u2019s some random, haphazard, accidental thing that\u2019s just really, really fragile? Well, then, you can be easily coerced into believing that one or two slight changes could destroy it, if it\u2019s just an accident, if it\u2019s just a coincidence.  It\u2019s just, like, some Big Bang.  I mean, if it\u2019s really fragile… You notice one of the foundational aspects of selling climate change is that the earth is fragile, that the ecosystem and the climate are fragile, barely being held in place.<\/p>\n

One wrong move and we could all be gone! But people who have been raised with a… I\u2019m not talking about devout.  The people that have been raised with a belief in, respect for, and understanding of God and creation are gonna be much harder sells on this.  And the reason is that people of that type do not think this is accidental.  They don\u2019t think it\u2019s coincidence.  They don\u2019t think it\u2019s Big Bang or happenstance.  They think it\u2019s brilliant.  They think it\u2019s beyond our ability to comprehend, and they think about it all the time.<\/p>\n

I do, and the idea that something of this nature has been created and that it exists for specific reasons that — try as hard as we can — we can\u2019t destroy.  But if you don\u2019t have a grounding in God, if you don\u2019t believe in God, if you haven\u2019t had any education, if your childhood did not involve any kind of religion or church or belief in something larger than yourself… I\u2019m not proselytizing a particular religion here.  But the three major religions in the world all have the existence of a God who created.<\/p>\n

If you are exposed to that and you use your intellect (chuckles) as far as it will take you to ponder it, to try to understand it, at some point you accept that you can\u2019t understand it.  It\u2019s beyond your ability to understand.  See, for me, folks, it is impossible to believe that all of this majesty and everything that we have learned about the universe and all that is… It\u2019s impossible for me to believe that this just happened.  It\u2019s too perfect.  It\u2019s too exquisite.  It\u2019s too complex!  It\u2019s magical.  It\u2019s majestic.  It\u2019s beyond my ability to describe it.  It\u2019s so much bigger than any one human being.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so much bigger than a political party or political agenda. Having been raised in this tradition and having a solid belief in God, the Creator, it is easy for me to reject every bit of pap that political leftists attach to the existence, the creation of, the sustainability of the universe.  We are inconsequential, in one sense.  We can\u2019t even the imagine the size of the universe.  We can be told this and that star is X-number of lightyears away.  We can\u2019t comprehend it.  In fact, if I were to ask you, “Where is the universe?” you scientists would say, “Well, that\u2019s a stupid question.  The universe is everything.”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, but where is it?  Can you stand outside it and see it somewhere?  Where is it?  The universe is not earth.  The universe is not the Democrat Party.  It\u2019s not CNN.  Where is it?  It is so magical, majestic, magnificent, so large, so incomprehensibly complex.  And how long has it been that it has sustained life on this planet and who knows where else?”  No idea.  The idea that in the years 1980 to the present things have happened that are going to destroy this? Who the hell do we think we are?<\/p>\n

There are far greater forces arrayed against this planet that we don\u2019t even understand that it has survived, and yet we\u2019re told that too much people are gonna destroy the planet, that (sigh) eating the wrong food, that cows farting are going to destroy the planet? It is so intellectually obscene and insecure that it baffles me how anybody can believe it.  If you believe in the God of Creation, then everything\u2019s here for a reason, and it\u2019s all intertwined in a complexity we cannot possibly understand.  Yet here come some know-it-all human beings who want to cherry-pick cows farting, and we gotta stop eating beef to get the cows to stop farting so that we can save the planet.<\/p>\n

Come on!  How ridiculous is this?  But if you don\u2019t have… If you don\u2019t believe in God, if you don\u2019t believe in the creation of all of this, if you believe this is just some gigantic accident — and it is precariously, dangerously imbalanced and fragile — then you are ripe to believe nonsense like cows expelling gas in a pasture after chewing their cud is gonna destroy the planet!  And isn\u2019t it interesting that in the process of these last 30 years, what has there been?  There has been a decrease in the number of people practicing religion, believing in God.<\/p>\n

\"\"Who has been behind that?  Well, it\u2019s our good buddies the Marxists and the communists who are who are threatened by any power greater than themselves.  So there is no God in their world and there is no creator.  And they try to prove it each and every day to young people so that young people will reject the idea.  But I believe if anybody has an upbringing where they are at least exposed to the concept… Maybe you didn\u2019t believe it.  Maybe your faith can\u2019t take there.  I know not everybody can believe in God.<\/p>\n

A lot of people are skeptics and can\u2019t believe it if they don\u2019t understand it, can\u2019t believe it if you can\u2019t see it, can\u2019t believe it if nobody can give you evidence for it.  Well, that\u2019s the point of faith.  But I don\u2019t know how anybody can look at all this and even think it\u2019s fragile, and I don\u2019t know how anybody can look at all of this and think that it\u2019s an accident, that it\u2019s a coincidence.  But that\u2019s what you have to believe if you\u2019re then going to think that it\u2019s so fragile, cows farting or — take another example — driving a car with fossil fuels can destroy the planet.<\/p>\n

Turning your thermostat down to 68 can destroy the planet. Everybody turning their barbecue pit on at 5 o\u2019clock in the afternoon can destroy the planet. You really have to have a limited view. (interruption) What do you mean, how do I explain the hurricanes being so bad? What are you talking about? They\u2019re not worse than ever. There aren\u2019t more hurricanes than ever. They\u2019re not more intense than ever. Have you noticed this is the second most powerful, this is the third most powerful.<\/p>\n

We have yet to have a hurricane as powerful as the one in 1935 that hit Miami. And, by the way, there weren\u2019t any building codes in 1935 Miami, and Miami is still there better than ever, after that hurricane in 1935! It just takes common sense! So you think cows farting and you think driving SUVs is making hurricanes bigger. How do you explain all the years after Katrina that we never had a hurricane, major hurricane hit landfall in the United States?<\/p>\n

And, no, don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not saying God\u2019s up there with his computers, “You know what? The U.S. needs a break from hurricanes. I\u2019m gonna make sure there\u2019s 12 years.” No, no, no, no. I\u2019m not Marianne Williamson, don\u2019t misunderstand. That\u2019s the whole point. All we can do is give thanks for our existence and adapt to things as we find them, which we do one hell of a job of in the United States.<\/p>\n

\"\"We found a way to beat the heat and become productive in the summertime thanks to Mr. Carrier who invented air-conditioning. Now he\u2019s a culprit. Now he\u2019s one of the dastardly demons that led to the destruction of the planet, Mr. Carrier. They named a dome after him at Syracuse.<\/p>\n

I really think it comes down to something like this. And the left, you know as well as I do, they\u2019ve done a damn good job of destroying the idea that there\u2019s anything larger than yourself, anything larger than the Democrat Party, anything larger than their political movement. Because people that have a strong belief in, because of faith or an intellectual attempt to understand it, in the concept of creation and God cannot be fooled by some of this nonsense that is said to be destroying — do you realize what it would take to make this planet in-habitable? Do you even know what that means?<\/p>\n

No life, no human life can survive. Really? No human life can survive cows farting, factories belching smoke, people driving SUVs or throw whatever else into this mix you want, whatever else they\u2019re saying. And yet one of the hallmarks of the Millennial generation is the large percentage of them who believe that this planet will not support human life by the time they are 60.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019ve got a political party out there promising to try to at least delay that, and those people tell you that the other political party doesn\u2019t care if you die, who are you gonna sign on with if you have no intellectual or faith-based ability to even comprehend your own existence and your own place in all of this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. I have to make a small and minor correction here, ladies and gentlemen. I erroneously and very loudly and clearly made a mistake. There, does that make you happy? I said that the destructive, devilish, worse-than-ever hurricane of 1935 went through Miami. It didn\u2019t. It went through the Keys. Big difference. It did go through the Keys, not Miami.<\/p>\n

The most expensive U.S. hurricane, adjusted for inflation, was the \u201926 hurricane that hit Miami. But that Labor Day hurricane in 1935, they even made a movie, Edward G. Robinson was a criminal on the lam that got caught in the damn thing. That was worse than Katrina. It was worse than this one, by far. It wasn\u2019t even close. Isn\u2019t even close.<\/p>\n
