OPINION:
The problem with environmentalists and people seeking what they call “racial equity” and other such things is that they will never be satisfied. They have become a business unto themselves.
If they were to fix the problems they decry, they’d be out of a job. I call these the environmental and racism businesses.
Now there are people actively talking about restricting humans from breathing, since we contribute to global warming when we exhale carbon dioxide. But carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04% of our atmosphere. That mean 99.96% of our air is made up of other gases, mostly nitrogen and oxygen. Here’s another way to view this: If you had 10,000 marbles, 0.04% of it would be four marbles.
Carbon dioxide, by the way, is also the stuff that plants live on and exhale, giving us oxygen to breathe. If we keep reducing the amount of carbon dioxide, farm output will decline.
I predict that in a few years those over the age of 70 will be encouraged to die to reduce our carbon footprint. Then, when not enough are dying voluntarily, Medicare will be denied to those people. We will also likely adopt China’s former one-child policy. Then we will finally unbreed our country out of existence.
