Chuck on the right side
THIS IS A BLOG THAT TRIES TO APPEAL TO THE AVERAGE CONSERVATIVE CITIZEN AND HAS NO AGENDA OTHER THAN TELLING THE TRUTH AS WE SEE IT.
The fearmongers have been predicting that if we don't do something about “Climate Change” (a/k/a global warming), eventually Delray Beach, Florida (where I live), all of South Florida, and all coastal areas around the country will be submerged in ocean water. Is that true?
Florida, for instance, throughout most of its history, has been under water. Portions of the Florida peninsula have been above and below sea level at least 4 times. As the glaciers of the north expanded and melted in eons past, the Florida peninsula emerged and submerged. It had nothing to do with “global warming” (a/k/a climate change), it had everything to with Mother Nature. When those catastrophic events happened, there was no excess of CO2 to blame those weather anomalies on, as there was no burning of fossil fuels and no SUV's despoiling the environment, as the climate cultists want us to believe. Our local newspaper, the Sun Sentinel, is hell-bent on championing the demise of South Florida due to “global warming”. They are on a crusade that the end of the world will occur if we don't do something. What have they proposed to thwart this apocalypse? It seems that they want to do away with fossil fuels and move into all forms of “green energy”, like what the climate radicals, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, the Squad, and John Kerry are proposing with their “Green New Deal”. Any intelligent, non-emotional person, realizes we can't get rid of fossil fuels because we need their energy output to power our economy in the near and distant future. Only recently, we saw the drawback of a form of “green energy”. The State of Texas was hit with a sudden extreme cold snap and part of their energy grid of “wind power” (which provided about 25% of electric power”), completely failed as the wind turbines froze up and couldn't produce any needed energy. The same with unreliable “solar energy”. If we have extended periods of cloudy non-sunny weather, those solar panels will not produce any energy. Of course, we should look for alternative forms of energy besides fossil fuels, but we should not put our heads in the sand and attempt to do away with all fossil fuels. The radical left has put climate change as their “Holy Grail”, as the biggest threat facing our country. It's not China and the Chinese virus, not Iran, not Russia or other bad actor countries in the world - to them it's climate change. Their argument is all emotion with selective facts to make their theory seem worse than it is. If you challenge the climate zealots and disagree with their doomsday theory, you will be labeled a “climate change denier” and a threat to humanity. Isn't it ironic that the biggest proponents of climate change, Al Gore, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, all have homes on the beach (ocean). Don't they believe their rhetoric about coastal areas being submerged because of “climate change” or is it another case of “do as I say not as I do”? Are they examples of being hypocrites? All of us want our our planet to be free from pollution, and we all want clean water and clean air (which we can control), but we don't need to decimate our need for fossil fuel energy, with pie-in-the-sky pronouncements that we can survive on solely “green energy”. We are one country that has cleaned up our environment, even by using fossil fuels, so why screw up our economy by passing ridiculous laws banning all fossil fuels? We must continue to find other sources of clean energy, which I'm sure all of us want to see happen, but it should not be an “either/or” proposition between using fossil fuels and using green energy. We could and should use both. Florida and the rest of the United States will survive this crusade by environmental zealots, as long as we don't buy into their doomsday scenario, believing that we will be swallowed up by a rampaging ocean, uncontrollable forest fires, and other natural climate disasters if we don't fully subscribe to their climate change policies and theories. Natural disasters will continue to occur whether we use fossil fuels or green energy as part of our power sources. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy our great country without living in fear of a climate induced calamity. Remember, fear is a scare tactic used to control people. America is the greatest country on earth, and might I add, the country with the cleanest air. Conservative Commentary by Chuck Lehmann

How come most all these climate change fanatics are owners of fossil fuel energy guzzlers by owning waterfront ocean properties, private fuel inefficient jet planes, luxurious gas eating yachts and on and on? Yet, they want us to live frugal lives by using only green energy. What bunch of phonies, and most of them are Democrats.,
