    People have built lives here in America upon a history of great suffering. (I agree. In fact, many people relish explaining how they "came from nothing." Now, that can be a great exaggeration, but that is a legitimate story. I suppose the tragedy is how some people came from nothing and are still "nothing" in the sense that they have been to prison, or don't own a home or don't have parents in their lives etc.)

    *Climate hysteria in the 16th century vs. climate hysteria in the 21st century.* How bad would the weather have to be for you to want to torture and burn alive your next door neighbor? Five hundred years ago the governments of Europe sanctioned the torture and burning alive of approximately 50,000 suspected witches, many of whom were specifically accused of being “weather witches.” The weather was so bad in those days that people irrationally accused anyone exhibiting odd behavior of “weather cooking,” allegedly creating violent storms with the help of Satan that ruined crops and killed farm animals. The mob mentality became so irrational that even those reasonable people who denied that storms were caused by witches and Satan were occasionally subjected to torture and death by fire as well. Ask yourself, how many gas stations and sport utility vehicles existed five hundred years ago? In our current unenlightened century we irrationally blame automobiles and cow flatulence for hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, heat waves, cold spells, low sperm counts, volcanic eruptions, illegal immigration, crime in the streets, and social injustice. *Search for these TH-cam videos for honest climate science.* “Balloons in the Air: Understanding Weather and Climate” “Karl Zeller and Ned Nikolov - New Solar System Climate Discovery” “Dr. Baliunas on Weather Cooking” “The Global Biofuel Disaster + Christopher Calder” “Windmills Kills Birds + Christopher Calder”
