Hours after a massive earthquake rattled Japan, environmental advocates connected the natural disaster to global warming. The president of the European Economic and Social Committee, Staffan Nilsson, issued a statement calling for solidarity in tackling the global warming problem. “Some islands affected by climate change have been hit,” said Nilsson. “Has not the time come to demonstrate on solidarity — not least solidarity in combating and adapting to climate change and global warming?” “Mother Nature has again given us a sign that that is what we need to do,” he added.”With all due respect, Mr. Nilsson, devastating earthquakes and tsunamis have been haunting Japan and the world for centuries; long before any of the modern contraptions that environmental nutballs like you cite as the cause of climate change were in existence. Mum nature’s message has always been, and continues to be, “I am in charge, and there is nothing you can do to change my will or blunt my force!”

For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
