This article is full of unsubstantiated claims and generalities. Not to mention plenty of left-wing talking points. Global warmi--oops! I mean "climate change", etc, etc.

It seems like the Economist is running point for the current administration's intentional food crisis. I wonder what freedoms we're now supposed to give up to the government so they can save us from the scary food monster?




Climate change is not a "left-wing talking point" it is a fact. And it's no longer called "global warming" because some places will experience colder weather than they are used to due to disturbed weather patterns, and conspiracy theorists will jump on the chance to "disprove" it.

But make no mistake, the earth is warming, at a much more rapid pace than ever before, and it is a man-made change.


> it is a man-made change

Can you substantiate that claim with verifiable evidence?

New England used to be under a 10-mile thick ice sheet during the last ice age. I think the Earth has been warming for a very long time.

But this isn't only about the climate. The article also mentions COVID-19 shut downs which were mostly pushed by the left. The IMF is mentioned as some sort of savior and is definitely saturated with left wing ideology.


>Can you substantiate that claim with verifiable evidence?

to your satisfaction? probably not, but of course that is irrelevant

to the satisfaction of those with authoritative knowledge in the field? of course, but it is not necessary, because they are the ones saying it
