In any military conflict, Americans should be concerned primarily about its justice, its risks for mass U.S. casualties, and its clearly defined priorities. But according to some loony leftists, our first concern should be if war will trigger climate Armageddon. As Ron Weasley would say, they need to sort out their priorities.
Climate alarmists have been wrong in every single major prediction for more than 60 years, and indeed, to believe in climate alarmism one essentially has to be an ideologue divorced from reality. Hence, whenever a real crisis occurs, climate alarmists make fools of themselves by making utterly preposterous claims about the connection of the crisis to their consuming fantasy of climate doom.
The World Economic Forum, for instance, made solemn and ridiculous pronouncements in 2022 about the effect of the Ukraine-Russia war on climate activism, as if the slaughter of millions of young men was mainly problematic from the perspective that there were increased emissions as those young men were killed.
The Nation is similarly absorbed with all the wrong concerns now as U.S.-Israeli Operation Epic Fury continues to decimate the terror-sponsoring Iranian Islamic regime.
For Our VIPs: U.S. Has Destroyed Over 60 Iranian Vessels, Hit Thousands of Targets
Notice The Nation — which also brought up the Russia-Ukraine climate nonsense — repeats unconfirmed propaganda about a girls’ school that was actually likely destroyed by a misfired Iranian rocket:
War makes climate change worse in many ways, and vice versa. The human costs of the US-Israel attack on Iran—the hundreds of people who have died, including a reported 175 young girls and teachers killed at the Shajareh Tayyibeh primary school—are a tragedy…Wars unleash gargantuan amounts of planet-warming emissions: Russia’s war in Ukraine, for example, has generated emissions equal to the annual emissions of France. Those extra emissions drive deadlier heat, drought, storms, and other impacts that wreck livelihoods, destabilize economies, and spur migration, making armed conflict more likely…
The outbreak of any war is bad news for the climate, just as the election of politicians hostile to climate action is. The climate implications of this new war are not the center of attention at the moment, but they are essential context for understanding what’s at stake. At a time when civilization is hurtling toward irreversible climate breakdown, to overlook the climate consequences of three of the deadliest militaries on Earth going to war would be journalistic malpractice.
Actually, spreading false accusations against U.S. troops and lying blatantly about climate crisis is journalistic malpractice.
Both Covering Climate Now and The New Republic republished the same lies from The Nation. This is “climate war,” they claimed.
Let’s remember why the U.S. and Israel are striking Iran’s regime. For half a century, the Iranian regime has been directly or through proxies attacking Americans, Israelis, and innocent people from many other nations. Then the Iranian regime massacred 40,000 of its own people who were protesting. Was The Nation distraught about those civilian deaths? Why is it that leftists always ignore true threats to complain about fake ones?
