The end of the world is officially upon us because now precisely five years and one day ago

Saint Greta of the Blessed Sailboat, Miss Thunberg herself predicted it. She tweeted in a curiously

deleted tweet that quote, a top class, a top climate scientist hotel, she said, a top climate

scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil

fuels over the next five years. Now, to be fair to Greta, she did not say that the world would end

in five years. She said that climate change would wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using

fossil fuels over the next five years. And those are different claims, but the practical consequence

of them is pretty similar, pretty much the same. Whether we're already dead or merely inevitably

doomed, there is now, according to Greta Thunberg, absolutely no reason to try to do anything about

so-called climate change. It's too late. We could all stop driving our cars and cooking our food

which would coincidentally wipe out all of humanity just by doing that, but we could do it. Let's

say we did it. Still, it would be too late. Climate change activism is now officially pointless. So

eat, drink, heat, drive, burn up those fossil fuels and be merry. A Michael Knowles is the Michael

I think this is great. Some libertarian types are upset about this, but this is awesome. We'll

get to that in a second. Speaking of Twitter, I had to open with Greta today because these guys,

the catastrophizing lives always make predictions that are just far enough in the future that nobody

really calls them out on it. Nobody really remembers when the time comes. They get away with it,

and the predictions never come true. Then they make more catastrophic predictions. If you don't
