Power Line: Among the young, as best I can tell, global warming has become a standing joke, the “Reefer Madness” of our time

Was It Earth Day, Or April Fools’? | Power Line

this year looks to go down as the snowiest April in recorded history.

All of which is to the discomfiture of local climateers, especially since the same thing has been happening across much of Europe for the last several years. Among the young, as best I can tell, global warming has become a standing joke, the “Reefer Madness” of our time. Which is all to the good.

I remember the first Earth Day. It seemed innocent at the time, probably because there was no money in it. Or very little, anyway. Environmentalists lost their way when they abandoned the traditional conservation issues that command consensus support, and sold out to governments who paid them billions of dollars to advance a political agenda. Green became the new Red. The predominant color today, of course, is neither green nor red. It’s white.
