Oh, climate skeptics. Don’t you just hate them?

Always scoffing at your hysteria, warnings, and wild ravings and going about their business efficiently?

National Public Radio (NPR) hateses them, nasty climate skeptics. Always tricksies getting electricals back on and bridgsies and roadses fixed after stormses blow.

Especially, DeSantises. Oooo, tricksies, nasty governor.

NPRs tells him over and over he’s wrong. Climate change real. Climate change bad and scary. And all he can do is be mean.

Try as they might to tie the recent spate of zoomed up storms to climate change, Ron DeSantis goes about his job, being probably the most competent governor in the country, and certainly the most prepared for any disaster, as he has proven time and time again.

Time and time again, the press attempts climate cult gotchas in the middle of the disaster relief press conferences. They then have to slink away like chastened puppies when DeSantis has no time for their nonsense but enough time to crush them like bugs before they exit.

But, as it IS a cult, and the media are true believers, they keep throwing themselves upon the sacrificial pyre, only to be immolated in the factual conflagration that is most assuredly to follow their bravado.

…”The chance of me virtue signaling for people in the media is ZERO. So, do NOT count on that. I don’t subscribe to your religion.” 

“I get you have an agenda, I understand that. I think you should be more honest about what that would mean for people: taxing them to smithereens, stopping oil and gas, making people pay dramatically more… we would collapse as a country.”

GAWD, how they hate him. That gnawing frustration drives them to distraction, self-humiliation, and public mockery.

PLEASE, GOVERNOR, MAY I HAVE SOME MORE?

And, boom, they’re back.

No hive of true climate cult believers is more rabid or unhinged in their advocacy than our own taxpayer-funded NPR and Public Broadcasting System (PBS) stations. How we wound up footing the bill for a Borg cube of rabidly progressive ideologues so far out of touch with the Americans they reportedly serve is beyond me, but it’s been like that for decades.

DeSantis, however, might just be the straw that breaks the back of what little sanity and rational judgment NPR has left, judging by the gem of a piece appearing on NPR today.

Even though he is considered an exceptional steward of Florida’s natural beauty and resources, his no-nonsense answers and concern for the safety, comfort, and standard of living of his citizens first over any Green grifting scheme has apparently driven at least one ardent, publicly funded believer off the deep end.

WLRN’s ‘Americas’ Editor wants DeSantis to be more Maya than Miami.

EXCUSE ME, WHUT?

This guy outclevers himself from the get-go.

COMMENTARY It’s a good bet Pre-Columbian peoples would have been smarter about modern hurricanes than Florida’s climate change denier-in-chief has shown himself to be amid turbocharged storms.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a Christopher Columbus guy. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

This week, DeSantis was still observing Columbus Day while much of the rest of America was giving props to the actual discoverers of America on what’s now known as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. And that’s his prerogative.

The Spain-sponsored Columbus was certainly a world-altering explorer, even if he did usher European enslavement and small pox into the New World. So if, on our hemispheric founder’s day, Florida’s anti-woke knight of Columbus prefers to honor Madrid over Miccosukees every second Monday in October, let him knock himself out.

He waxes poetic about how the islanders built homes to withstand hurricanes – their native word birthed our current term for Atlantic tropical cyclones – and how Mayan walls “whistled.”

Isn’t that neat?

…The Taíno employed savvy structural designs like circular, spaced walls that helped deflect gusts and balance air pressure. Meanwhile, the ancient Maya over on the Yucatán peninsula devised wind temples with webs of holes that loudly whistled when hurricanes approached.

If you had given these people sound evidence a thousand years ago that something they were doing was angering Hurakán or giving the god more destructive muscle, my bet is they would have at least listened.

In fact, they probably would have paid more attention than DeSantis’ hero Columbus and the Europeans who colonized the Caribbean after his 1492 “discovery” of the Americas did. Historians point out their structures — whose builders took little notice of the adaptive innovations of the “primitive” Pre-Columbians — were routinely flattened by Hurakán.

You know what else they did to ward off storms besides condo design?

We have radar to track the clouds, many – the Maya most assuredly – made human sacrifices to try to chill out the gods.

NPR’s Americas editor is like, “Yeah, pretty much: Same-same.”

The author also drags out standard boilerplate about “study after reliable study,” turning global waters like “the Gulf’s” into hot tubs producing boiling “‘roid rage” hurricanes (I have to admit, that was a new one.) 

It sounds appropriately terrifying.

…Study after reliable study has concluded that as global warming has turned waters like the Gulf’s into hot tubs, it has produced hurricane ‘roid rage — giving the storms more power, and especially more water and devastating storm surge, than they would have had otherwise.

If only it were true.

In fact, the rocking and rolling we are currently experiencing, as cyclic as it is, could be on its way to subsiding substantially.

I mean, it’s the weather, with many long-developed patterns and shifts we haven’t been able to accurately follow, less mind forecast previously.

But that is nowhere near as fun as building huts and walls that whistle like pre-Columbian natives did, even though the folks running the places aren’t all that friendly.

The Americas editor needs to chill out and have a cocktail before he writes anything else.

And for God’s sake, stay away from DeSantis press conferences.

Nobody likes him anyway.
