Overwrought warmist Chris Searles on the alleged threat of CO2: "Most of us aren't used to being poor but we will probably learn what that feels like before long...Do any environmentalists still believe their 401k is going to matter in 25 years?"

Chris-Searles: Fossil Fuel Companies, "You Win!"

I'm writing this as an environmentalist who’s trying to reckon with our having lost on climate change. Something I know a lot about. I’ve spent most of the last decade studying and working in earnest on issues related to the Green Revolution and to winning the climate challenge. Recently I’ve had to give up my torchbearer status as an eco-preneur / activist / educator / etc. and return to playing music for a living.
...
From what i gather we've built ourselves an economy that can’t possibly stop burning fossil fuels. Congratulations fossil fuel companies. It’s official. You win. We cannot live without you. Take my money (and my planet), please.
...it’s pretty easy to infer that not only is global warming "on,” but that continuous extreme weather events of varying types will soon destabilize what we and (sorry for the drama) every other being on Earth know of as daily life.

Scientists say (in muted tones) and environmentalists like me say (in alarmed, tea-reading-tones) that the regular occurrence of destabilizing/radical weather events will soon crash our planet’s biological systemz. If you've ever had your phone or anything or anyone you count on crash, you know how much system crashes can suck, even when they only last a few minutes. Think about a system crash for a whole planet. (Our planet.)
... It's us Americans, the world's wealthiest middle class, who will feel the fall the hardest, too. From more expensive groceries and gasoline to the end of the notion that there's gonna be a secure retirement somewhere in your future. Most of us aren't used to being poor but we will probably learn what that feels like before long.(1) If the climate scientists' climate science projections are correct it's us vs. the weather from here on out.
...This global warming thing is bigger than you or your kid's college or whether or not the government raises taxes.

(1) Do any environmentalists still believe their 401k is going to matter in 25 years? Will my generation ever retire?
