The narrative pushed by the liberal media regarding the global warming hoax is the opposite of the truth. Yet kooks from Tinseltown have achieved a still more striking disconnect from reality by lacing leftist climate ideology with hatred of America and affection for our primary adversary, communist China.
To experience absolute moonbattery, sit in on a discussion between actors Edward Norton and Ted Danson. Via @BreitbartNews:
NORTON: China is on its way to being the first, petro-zero economy. They are going to be the first electro-superpower.
That must be why the air in Chinese cities is so breathable.
TED DANSON: Which we could have been. And now we’re gonna have to buy it from them when [Trump] goes away and we come to our senses. We won’t have that industry like China does.
America just doesn’t measure up to the communist regime that under its founder Mao Zedong killed more of its own people than any other in human history.
NORTON: No. And by the way, it’s both sides of the aisle. In the state of California, we have now the most regressive policy toward residential solar, distributed solar collection and storage… even under Gavin Newsom.
Not even Newsom is enough of a kook, despite the extensive economic damage his moonbattery has inflicted on the state.
The country as a whole earns even more contempt from Edward Norton. He continues:
We have this enduring narrative of American exceptionalism, like of America’s “alpha,” of America’s cultural superiority. … I don’t think people fully grasp the degree to which we’re going to ghettoize ourselves as an energy state, in terms of education, in terms of health. We’re not anywhere near the top, of what other people are experiencing. And if we embrace this idea of pride in regression, you where is that where is that going to take us? It’s not going to take us into a place that we’re happy about for our kids.
“Regression” is the opposite of “progress.” “Regression” is characterized by freedom, wealth, and national pride. “Progress” will make us like communist China except poorer, because in China economical means of generating electricity are allowed. The ChiComs build one coal power plant per week. If it were up to these malevolent screwballs, we would cook or shiver in the dark:
Edward Norton rejects "American exceptionalism" and praises China as more eco-friendly than the West:
