Henry Gondorff: We’ll use the wire. Never known a gambler who wouldn’t like to beat the ponies.

Eddie Niles: The wire is ten years outa date.

Henry Gondorff: That’s why he won’t know it.

The Sting 1973

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot more of the “We’ve running out of time to save the planet.” Stuff like this from earlier this month:

To be sustainable, we must return within our planetary boundaries, and the only way to achieve that peacefully is by acquiring the emotional and spiritual maturity to embrace voluntary equitable degrowth. 

this from congresswoman Talib when a bank exec refused to deny loans to fossell fuel companies:

Tlaib stated that she would not even bother asking Dimon to answer her question because he “obviously” does not “care about working class people and frontline communities like ours, that are facing huge amounts of high rates of asthma, respiratory issues, and so much more, cancer rates are so high among my communities that I represent.”

And he’s something from a climate site from Nov of 2020:

 Without urgent action we’ll pass 1.5°C in around 20 years. This would have catastrophic impacts for our planet, such as more extreme weather, loss of habitats and the species living within them, which could threaten our food and water supplies. Preventing this requires much more action, and this needs to happen right now.

All of this took me back down memory lane to Jan of 2006 when Al Gore stated bluntly that we had ten years left to save the Planet. At the time the late great Rush Limbaugh noted Gores Pronouncement and decided to run with it:

Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about “ten years” it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we’ve got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we’re going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just… You have to love these people — from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.

And of course the clock eventually ran down:

I wrote about it at the time:

Ten Years ago Al Gore gave a speech saying that we have only 10 years to save the planet from Global Warming. At that time Rush Limbaugh started a countdown clock at 10 years.

This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just… You have to love these people — from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.

Today it ran out

and Unexpectedly not only are we all waking up alive but if you are waking up in either NY or Washington odds are you are still seeing the snow on the ground from this week’s record setting blizzard and global warming as an issue ranks below , well everything.

But that’s

But that’s OK, Al Gore has already made his millions off of it and there are still a few suckers out there to be taken who will be but the best thing to do today, is to look at the few fools who still fall for this hoax, and laugh

It’s now six and a half years later from that date, 16 years since Al Gore told us we would be out of time and nearly 35 years since Ted Danson assured us the oceans were going to be destroyed and yet the climate change , global warming crowd is still singing the same tune?

Why? Because there have been a new set of marks who have grown up in that time completely indoctrinated into this cult and as long as there is a new set of marks ready to fall for the scam, our climate change better will be able to keep themselves in champagne, private jets and fully paid for conferences with the best of food, the best of booze and all the broads they want in the name of saving the world from you.

Until they run out of marks they will continue to play the game and make their living off of it from the biggest contractor who gets hundreds of millions to the activists who gets the high five or six figure job to the pol who gets the contributions to the street activist who does the grunt work for small cash.
