Global warming: Passengers stranded on west coast Amtrak since Sunday

An Amtrak train with 183 passengers on board has been stalled in the snow in Oregon since Sunday night after hitting a tree that fell on the tracks.

Amtrak: clobbering the Left's mass transit dreams, and global warming alarmism at the same time. Good job, guys!

No, no, no, no..you got it all wrong.  Cold and a lot of snow is caused by Globular Worming.  So is having trees just fall over, fainting from the cold which is caused by Globular Worming.  If it's cold here, it must be worm there and the soil becomes unstable due to the changes in the seasons which is caused by Globular Worming.

Picking local isolated events really doesn't support the argument that global warming I mean climate change isn't happening.

If you haven't gotten the memo the term, Global Warming, has been dead for quite a few years.

Even after the term "Global Warming" fell out of vogue, there were predictions that all snow fall would be gone by now. It's hard to take climate change as a theory seriously when it's biggest proponents are always making big, dire predictions that are repeatedly proved wrong by the passage of time.

I agree, they should of tossed the "shock and awe" yellowdog reporting and talked about the gradual changes over time and perhaps how we as a global society can adapt.

That would make sense. It would also make certain people less money.

If they went with "climate resiliency" to begin with they might have gotten some bipartisan support.

Of course.

AOC says we are all going to die in 12 years if we don’t implement communism now. The Amtrak folks will just be a few of the early victims.

But then there would be no crisis to use to transform the entire economy.


As I've stated REPEATEDLY, if the global warming climate change (until they have to use another new term) people were actually serious in decreasing carbon emissions, they would be pushing nuclear power hard. They don't. In fact, they oppose it. Instead they push fairies and unicorns and windmills.

Which shows what their real goal is.

[Ben]

were actually serious in decreasing carbon emissions, they would be pushing nuclear power hard. They don't. In fact, they oppose it.

This too. I take exactly zero people seriously who push "ZOMG we have to do something!" but refuse to say "nuclear".

^^^ The Government, could, however, do its part by opening up Yucca Mountain as a permanent waste repository.  The dry-cask storage at individual power plants may come back to bite us in the ankle some day.

But the reverse is apparently true.  AGW minions are always pointing to weather events and proclaiming that they prove climate change is happening.

This sort of thing predates Amtrak:

It already is. I just read an article reporting that the company that owns three shuttered nuclear plants in New England (Maine, Connecticut, and ??) just won a court award of, IIRC, over $1 billion to cover the expenses of maintaining the spent fuel storage at the three sites.

I agree... Climate Change, Anti-Abortion (yea I went there), Gun Control, Anti-Gay, Anti-Same Sex Marriage, Green Deal, The Wall, etc are just political/single issue items to force the supporters (of those issues) will (sometimes with a gun or fines) onto those who do not agree with them and make them conform.

Or we could build nukular plants that can consume said "waste" instead of storing it for 200k years.  Technology that, I'm pretty sure, already exists.

Atlas Shrugged, Climate Change Edition

You don't need to just look at Venezuela. Some of these jokers in Congress are using the Wesley Mouch parts of Atlas Shrugged as their Operations Manual.

I don't claim to be a physicist, but I often wonder if American nuclear power building/engineering continued instead of being mothballed in the 80s, would spent fuel from the bigger plants be refined to be used in smaller reactors and spent fuel from the smaller plants be refined down for even smaller reactors, and so forth until it basically inert or very low in radioactivity.

I'm assuming it's because you claimed the "Anit-Same Sex Marriage" side is all about coercion, when it is those conscientious objectors that are having their missions, work, and livelihoods destroyed by the power of the state.

and the folks who want to marry their same sex partner have gone through years of that prior to recent times. It's not all one sided.

It is one-sided, and I was laughing because you're so wrong, it's hilarious.
