Never Waste A Crisis

Coronavirus is a serious and unique global public health challenge that has crippled and shutdown much of the US and global economies with unprecedented speed and shock.

Not surprisingly coronavirus alarm has pushed most other issues and concerns out of the news — much to the dismay of climate alarmists. But the alarmists aren’t taking displacement by coronavirus lying down.

In fact, many climate alarmists are trying to use coronavirus as a means of advancing their agenda. They are trying to surf it.

Included here are 60 tweets (a Top Ten, Dishonorable Mention & The Rest) from a wide variety of climate alarmists — activists, celebrities, media and politicians — all trying to harness coronavirus alarm for purposes of advancing climate alarmism.

Remember, as President Trump recently tweeted about the coronavirus crisis:

Top Ten

1. A silver lining of coronavirus – CBS News says you can see dolphins

2. Sky News Ed Conway in The Times (UK) – Coronavirus will kill climate skeptics

3. Democracy for America – $2 trillion coronavirus proves we can afford the Green New Deal

4. Democratic Socialists of America – Coronavirus proves we need the Green New Deal

5. DeSmogBlog – Coronavirus-type lock downs are good for reducing greenhouse gas emissions

6. Oxford historian Peter Frankopan – Coronavirus pandemic is good for the climate by collapsing industrial production

7. Greta Thunberg: Coronavirus lockdown and spending proves we can do the same for climate

8. Extinction Rebellion: Humans are the disease. Coronavirus is the cure

9. Teen climate activist Jamie Margolin: Because young people gave up spring break so old people can live to see next year, old people should consent to climate action

10. Socialist Party USA: Capitalism gave us COVID-19, so socialism now!

Dishonorable Mention: UN Chief Antonio Guterres suggests coronavirus could devastate the economy enough to ‘rebuild’ the world more ‘sustainably’

Dishonorable Mention: Angry at Trump rollback of Obama’s fuel economy standards, Obama likens (imaginary) ‘pandemic denial’ to (imaginary) climate denial and urges voters to dump Trump
