When climate protesters get treated like abortion protesters.

Be careful what you wish for

RE: Join a climate protest. By Richard MacKinnon  The Hamilton Spectator 16 May 23.

Decades ago, and to much applause, laws were passed and court injunction were obtained to prevent people from protesting in front of abortion clinics.  Even today, a person can get arrested for appearing to pray within a certain distance of an abortion clinic.  Now that same technique is being used on climate protesters.

At least those protesting abortion had a point; climate protesters do not.

As I write this the global average temperature is 14.19℃, which is 0.19℃ above the 1979-2000 average.  It’s the same temperature today as it was 8 years and 9 months ago.  There is no correlation between CO2 and global temperatures.  There is no long term trend that will take global average temperature above 1 degree by 2100.  And nobody has said what’s so special about 15.5℃ that will cause the world climate to begin to collapse above this temperature.

The thing about global warming is that it has to be global.  Local heatwaves prove nothing; local extreme weather events prove nothing; we’ve had them all before.

Climate alarmists have no basis for the fear they’re spreading, and hence righteousness is no argument that protesting climate be given a special status.  They deserve to be treated like the abortion protesters were, and more.
