RUSH: Last week the Governor of California, Jerry Brown, went to the National Press Club to prophesy about “climate disruption.” That’s what he calls climate change or global warming now.

He predicted the climate will be so disrupted that three billion people will die from lethal “heat events.” Three billion, with a B.

Now keep in mind that the population of the whole world right now is 7.6 billion people.

According to Moonbeam, not only will three billion die from killer heat, but global warming will lead to more diseases, wars, terrorism, and mass migrations.

The governor of America’s biggest state said this to a room filled with America’s most noted journalists. They didn’t laugh, challenge him, roll their eyes, or walk out. They reported it as if Governor Moonbeam’s lunatic prophesies were the rational thoughts of a sane human being.

Yeah, it’s nuts, but let’s say Moonbeam is right for a minute. Do you know what that means? It means the world’s No. 1 job is going to be undertaker, mortician.

If three billion people are about to keel over from lethal heat, the funeral business will be the biggest moneymaking industry of all time, provided there is still air conditioning.
