Searching for Clues to Calamity
By FRED GUTERL
Published: July 20, 2012SO far 2012 is on pace to be the hottest year on record. But does this mean that we’ve reached a threshold — a tipping point that signals a climate disaster?

Proving once again that climate alarmists are a bunch of superstitious, dishonest, criminally inclined buffoons.

Over the last 15 years, suburbs of Denver, Colorado have been the scene of two of America’s worst massacres. Colorado also has the highest rate of drug abuse among teenagers. The only belief that many children have is that life sucks – and then you die.
Where do they get this idea from?

While we can’t tie any specific massacre to green’s efforts to demoralize children, we can say that the Aurora massacre is exactly the sort of behavior we would expect in a world where selfish self-serving adults devote their life to making children feel doomed.
