New in PJ Media:
If you aren’t convinced yet that our self-appointed moral superiors are profoundly unserious people, full-grown children with childishly ridiculous ideas who nonetheless enjoy the serious attention of Leftists, check out the photo of The Atlantic’s Robinson Meyer here. Oh, and there’s another here. Painting your face so that you look like a goofy dalmatian puppy is one thing. Getting pictures taken in that state is another, and using them for profile shots on allegedly serious articles is a whole new level of childishness. In that light, Meyer’s risible analysis, published in The Atlantic last Wednesday, posits that the worst aspect of nuclear war is that it would accelerate climate change. We were told the adults were back in charge; the problem is that Robinson Meyer is the Left’s idea of an adult.
“I mean this quite literally,” writes Meyer with a straight face, his face paint quivering with rage and fear: “If you are worried about rapid, catastrophic changes to the planet’s climate, then you must be worried about nuclear war. That is because, on top of killing tens of millions of people, even a relatively ‘minor’ exchange of nuclear weapons would wreck the planet’s climate in enormous and long-lasting ways.”
That’s right, “on top of killing tens of millions of people,” as if that were just a minor detail, with the real trouble being that the sumptuous beachfront properties of Barack Obama and Joe Biden might end up underwater. One thing you can say about Leftists: they cling to their ideology to the bitter end, and no one is a bitterer clinger than Robinson Meyer. He is so committed to his idea here that he even tosses aside the conventional wisdom about a nuclear war resulting in global cooling, a “nuclear winter”: “And even though the world would get cooler, the nuclear winter resulting from a full-blown global conflict (or even ‘nuclear fall,’ as some researchers prefer) would not reverse the effect of what we might morbidly call ‘traditional’ human-caused climate change.”
Of course it wouldn’t! How could it? How could anything stop the climate apocalypse these angry prophets are warning us about? Never mind that climate change isn’t really even a crisis at all; to the believers in the Left’s new religion, nothing is worse (not even getting nuked), and nothing can stop what’s coming except more massive federal overreach, the destruction of the auto industry, and drastic economic decline.
There is more. Read the rest here.

So do we worry about climate whilst our skin peels off?
Malcolm (South Afric) says
Liberalism (the left), Communism, Fascist, and those that have morphed from them, share common threads.
All of them have used the M S M, not to convey truth, but to hide the truth from the population.
They will frame you, bring false charges against you, persecute you and your family, up to the point of eliminating you.
Look at the Case of the Covington kids is a perfect example of media bias, Kyle Rittenhouse is another, President Trump treatment from Democrat,s and the media has been appalling.
Jeorge Floyd, Jussie Smollett, used by the media to imprint on the American citizen that white Americans are all racist. Other that that the MSM do not care a fig leaf about them. President Joe Biden, Vice President Harris, fuel the flames from the MSM.
Lets go Brandon is the Shout out from South Africa

There’s one consolation for we who live in the Southern Hemisphere, most of the nuclear war effects will mostly be confined to the Northern Hemisphere and there’s nothing we can do about that.
Bruce Stanton says
The novel/movie On the Beach says differently. Sorry.
gregbeetham says
Mmmkay, of course a 1959 movie would have it nailed.
Mike says
Climate Change is the least of my concern. This will be the ultimate reset. Electric will stop, Cars won’t work, Computers will not work. depending on how intense the war would be. Nuclear winter will fix all the lefts worries about warming depending where you live your life is OVER. Winds will dictate the death tolls
Treereen says
LOL! The guy in the photo is not “goofy”. For whatever reason, he simply has badly painted patches intended to beat facial recognition software.

On the other hand, he’s done a grade A job disguising a diarrhoeac cow’s rectal orifice as his mouth.

Thanks for that background, Treereen.
Westman says
It’s obvious that the great majority of climate change believers have never followed the actual calculating of a climate model. In every one some assumptions are made because some terms within the calculation cannot be measured with strict accuracy.
We cannot predict the weather beyond about 5 days with real accuracy because small permutations and extremely small factors missing from the equations become significant over time. This truth led to the development of Chaos Theory – the idea that a butterfly beating its wings might be the factor creating a storm days later in a completely different location.
The cartoonist, Scott Adams, took an very accurate snapshot of Climate Science with a cartoon:

Brilliant Dilbert cartoon!
gregbeetham says
Dilbert’s curvy tie is missing. The depicted climate science is correct; we ignore the results that look wrong.
Even better is when they go back and ‘normalize’ old data so it is more correct than it was before, otherwise they have difficulty producing the hockey stick graph.

Robinson Meyer is an immoral tool.
