The left is built upon a mountain of falsehoods but two of the biggest are that humankind is trembling on the brink of destruction because of ‘climate change’ and that onerous COVID restrictions are the only things keeping us alive. So what are we to make of an unmasked Obama standing around construction workers, very grumpy about work on his multimillion-dollar beachfront Hawaiian mansion. What I make of it is that both “climate change” and COVID restrictions are huge parts of that mountain of lies.
Here’s the picture that is a microcosm of all the lies:
The cult of Climate Change tells us that, unless we abandon all fossil fuels, the oceans will rise and every coastal community will be destroyed. When Obama bought his coastal Martha’s Vineyard house it was pretty clear that he didn’t believe a word of this narrative. This was rather peculiar considering the vast amounts of taxpayer money he funneled to green energy initiatives as part of the 2009 “stimulus” spending following the recession.
Heck, going back further, that first beachfront purchase was even more peculiar when you consider the speech Obama gave when accepting the Democrat party nomination in 2008:
While the rise of the oceans may not have slowed for those of us suffering through the horrors of the green movement (vastly increased energy prices, inconvenient and expensive electric cars, low-flow showers, and more), they certainly seem to have slowed for Obama. Indeed, they’ve slowed so much that he’s confident buying beachfront property on an island. I don’t know about you, but I would think islands would be even more affected by “climate change” than a whole big continent.
Then there’s the COVID mask narrative. Across America, parents are waging heroic battles to get masks off their children’s faces. One of the major weapons in that battle is pictures of celebrities flouting those same mask rules. (Local politicians, teachers, and school board members tend to do the same.)
Image: Obama the maskless. Twitter screen grab.
With the Obama picture, we have the perfect example of how the rich, famous, and political flout the rules. It’s not just that they don’t wear masks. It’s that they expect the little people around them to wear masks. The reason for this double standard is obvious: These self-styled “elite” aren’t afraid of the virus; they’re disgusted by you. Just think back to the Met Gala, when all the famous people waltzed around unmasked while the help scurried by wearing masks.
Or how about this picture of Stacey Abrams protected from all those nasty, ordinary, germy little children who, unlike overweight adults, are at almost no risk from COVID?

Not The Bee has a collection of a few other “masks are for the little people” moments.
Obama knows the oceans won’t rise in any significant way over the next decades or even centuries, just as he knows he’s not at serious risk of dying from COVID. (I imagine that, should he catch it, he’ll have special flights sent his way filled with monoclonal antibodies or Ivermectin.) Obama, though, knows something more important than the truth: He knows that he and his party will keep complete control over America if Americans remain terrified of the all-purpose ‘climate change’ narrative and of COVID.
In other words, America, you’re being played.
@SEBASTIEN-
Ice Cream…or Ice Age…. To lefty fanatics (and Sa’ar) where Netanyahu is concerned…it’s the same thing.
They’ve been talking about the earth heating up since I was a kid, and yet… there was a series of min ice ages around from the early middle ages right into the 20th century.
The coldest winters for hundreds of years in Ireland and the U.K were in the mid 1940s and 1960s . Even today, the amount of heating up is miniscule when you look at the scale of the last few hundred thousand years. Huge swings up and down. It mostly depends on the activity of the Sun, and sunspots, cosmic rays, volcanic action, etc. We get reports all the time if the Arctic snow cap to disappear within a few years, but it’s still there. We get reports of the Antarctic melting and the next year we see another report that it has increased in other parts more than it’s melted elsewhere.
So I think it’s vastly overplayed. And I thought we’d argued and shown records, and debated this subject a couple of years ago, up and down and back to front. -sideways also. So why bother with it now.
If it happens we won’t be around.

Wandering Earth (China 2019) Saw it in a theater. Great film “A looming collision with Jupiter threatens Earth as humans search for a new star. The planet’s fate now lies in the hands of a few unexpected heroes.’
Twilight Zone episode, The Midnight Sun (1961)

“The word that Mrs. Bronson is unable to put into the hot, still, sodden air is ‘doomed,’ because the people you’ve just seen have been handed a death sentence. One month ago, the Earth suddenly changed its elliptical orbit and in doing so began to follow a path which gradually, moment by moment, day by day, took it closer to the sun. And all of man’s little devices to stir up the air are now no longer luxuries—they happen to be pitiful and panicky keys to survival. The time is five minutes to twelve, midnight. There is no more darkness. The place is New York City and this is the eve of the end, because even at midnight it’s high noon, the hottest day in history, and you’re about to spend it in the Twilight Zone… The scene cuts to the same apartment at night with heavy snow outside the windows. The thermometer reads ?10 °F (?23 °C). Norma, who has been bedridden with a high fever, is being cared for by a doctor and Mrs. Bronson. The Earth moving closer to the sun is revealed to be only a fever dream, while in reality, the Earth is moving away from the sun, and the world’s inhabitants are actually freezing to death.”
Maybe the problem is too much television. Ha Ha.
Another of Bibi’s alleged crimes, bringing the ice age closer. Oh, wait, that was ice cream. Never mind.

By the way, has anybody heard from the hole in the ozone layer or the half life of decaying buried used uranium lately, ha ha.
@FelixQuigley
Why don’t you google ice core data charts (for the last 300,000 years)?
We are now on the cyclical peak of warming, the cooling off will follow.
Global warming and cooling has to do with what is happening with the Sun and not with the number of people and cattle on the planet Earth.
Reader an ice age
Let the craziness begin.
@FelixQuigley
I am not a climate-change denier but I got convinced 12 years ago that we are headed into another global ice age, not global warming.
Here is an interesting book on the subject:
Robert W. Felix (an interesting coincidence, don’t you think?)
Not by Fire but by Ice: Discover What Killed the Dinosaurs… and Why It Could Soon Kill Us
Well this will be very strange if no-one on the site will comment. The science of climate has not one thing to do with Obama buying a house. And I do not believe climate scientists set out to scare. It is the reality of the climate which is terrifying. Come on!
So I am issuing a challenge to anyone on Israpundit who is a denier of global warming of earth and which if not solved will extinguish all life as we know it.
The first point I want to make totally clear is the total connection between CO2 in the atmosphere and climate.
The article by Andrea Widberg is very stupid and has zero to do with the SCIENCE of global warming.
So I ask you – does CO2 heat earth?
Aha Mr Editor pushes his toe into these stormy waters
Good!
