Is it raining pennies from Heaven??

"Cheer up Minneapolis. Pennies do rain down from Heaven (maybe). If they don't, there is not enough tea in China to pay for what Minneapolis needs to have done."

Did anyone catch the news about the City of Minneapolis? The city where nothing is as it appears to be, is ready to wage war on climate change. Wait - don't you mean to wage war on crime? Nope. Crime is just a fact these days in Minneapolis. If you drive a Kia, you might as well just leave the keys in it overnight, because it will be jacked or stolen. But climate change? That is something Minneapolis can do something about! 

Okay - enough sarcasm. We all know we can't do a dang thing about climate change in Minneapolis. It would be like if Minneapolis had the best forest management in the world, and yet the summer days would still be smokey. Why? The smoke coming down from Canada. Minneapolis could do all the greenie goodie goodies in the world, and still, the world's temp would rise. Why? Because much of climate change might not be man-made. And what is man-made, much would be coming from China.

Minneapolis has a new climate chief. Her name is Kate Knuth, and she is extremely ambitious (her words). Plus, she thinks this will all be funded by "pennies raining down from Heaven" (my words). She is straight out of La-La Land if she thinks that by 2030, 3 out of 5 trips into Minneapolis will be accomplished by either walking, bike riding, or metro transit. If you don't comply, you might as well stay in the burbs. You will be persona non-Gratta in Minneapolis. 

All houses will be insulated. All buildings will be insulated. In short, the entire town will be retrofitted or rebuilt. It is going to cost a billion or trillion dollars. And the best part? It will do nothing to fix the climate. But that is not the point. So long as it makes everyone feel better, that is the point. John Kerry was just in China to visit his climate counterpart. Kerry told China they needed to do more. Kerry was told to pound sand (in so many words). China does not need to feel better. China is concerned about its Belt and Roads Program.

When will this climate charade end? Is this something the Democrats are going to hoist up as their banner forever? Is there not one person on the left who understands true science? Here are the unpleasant facts - THE CLIMATE ON PLANET EARTH IS ALWAYS CHANGING! We can burn natural gas. Heck, we can still burn some coal or oil. It won't matter. 

Cheer up Minneapolis. Pennies do rain down from Heaven (maybe). If they don't, there is not enough tea in China to pay for what Minneapolis needs to have done. But who cares? Kate will spend your money faster than you can say, "climate hoax".
