Karl Rove: Climate change treaty is ‘BS’ because ‘we’ll all be dead… when we get to 2080’

Republican strategist Karl Rove argued over the weekend that addressing climate change was a waste of time because everyone on Earth would already be dead before before a plan agreed to in Paris could make a difference in greenhouse gas emissions.

Rove told a Fox News panel on Sunday that the recent climate treaty negotiated in Paris was “B.S.” because it called for slowing the increase in carbon omissions to net zero between 2050 and 2080.

“We’ll all be dead and very few people sitting in Paris will be alive at that point, I suspect, when we get to 2080,” he opined. “The United States has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions. It has done so, not because some international treaty, we have put the focus on energy efficiency, we’re a market economy, we’re a wealthy country that can afford to do this. And we have done it.”

“What we are now saying to emerging economies, ‘Keep your people poor, keep them in poverty because you cannot use cheap fuels, namely natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels to power your economy.’ And it’s ridiculous.”

Exactly. BTW I used to own the issue of Rag Baby magazine with a 45rpm EP that included CJ+tF's original recordings of FEEL LIKE I'M FIXIN' TO DIE RAG and SUPERBIRD (*) on one side and a couple songs by Ed Krug (?) on the other. My fucktard stepbrother broke the record. Shit; it would be worth something now.

(*) SUPERBIRD as I recall it:

Look up yonder in the sky; what is that, I pray?
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a man insane; it's my president, L.B.J.
He's flyin' high way up in the sky, just like Superman
But I've got a little piece of Kryptonite; I'm gonna bring him down to land

(chorus)
Now come out Lyndon with your hands held high
Drop your guns, baby, and reach for the sky
I've got you surrounded and you ain't got a chance
Gonna send you back to Texas, make you work on your ranch
Yeah, yeah

He's probably talking about the batch of old fools sitting at the table signing things, not the entire population.

Alice's Restaurant line was "And I started jumpin' up and down yelling, "Kill, kill," ...

Kill not die. But same general idea and result for someone.

Yep, I fucked that one up. Funny by the time they recorded that I was home from Nam. Lyndon tried to get me killed, but I fooled him. Fuck you Lyndon!
