GOP Sen. Ron Johnson Claims Clouds Will Stop Climate Change


During a segment on Fox News, while discussing climate change, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) made the claim that the world is not really facing a climate crisis and that it is all just so much hysteria based on “bad science.”  He further claimed that alarmists were "ignoring the impact of clouds to basically act as a heatsink."  Then, without missing a beat, he astonishingly proceeded to claim “windmills are killing the whales.”

Wow, the nation’s dumbest senator said what?  Clouds will stop climate change?  Makes sense, just like umbrellas will stop it from raining.  So, if it’ll be clouds that’ll stop climate change, I guess that would explain why Johnson spends so much time in his backyard in his underwear yelling up at the clouds.  Frankly, the only way I can imagine Johnson’s cloud scenario possibly working would be if Johnson were to release that massively dense, dark cloud that inhabits most of the interior of his skull.

Of course, Johnson’s Republican pals will naturally argue that Johnson is “spot on” in his attacks on climate scientists.  And I do have to admit Johnson has definitely made some quite “interesting” points on the subject over the years.  You know, like global warming is the result of sunspots, and climate change “has always” been a thing - and to prove it, Johnson pointed out that Greenland was once actually “a green land” - hence its name.

That said, I believe perhaps Ron Johnson’s most profound contribution to climate science is his groundbreaking theory that “windmills are killing the whales.”  Now, I hate to sound like one of those folks who “blames the victim,” but if Johnson is correct on this, I honestly can’t help but feel that “this what these whales get for leaving the ocean (where they belong) and flying through the air like that.”  Why their place is in the water, not clogging up our airways.

Of course, I’m sure that just because Johnson and his Republican pals are all rolling in fossil fuel industry cash, it has nothing to do with any positions they’ve taken on this issue.  Now, my question is, “It sure seems like clouds have been around for an awful long time.  Just how effective have these clouds been so far?”  So, sorry, Senator Johnson, but I think Joni Mitchell probably put it best in her song “Both Sides Now” when she said, “You really don't know clouds - at all.”

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War

Trump Lawyer Schoen Threatens America With Civil War:  In a fiery speech, arguing that impeachment would disenfranchise Donald Trump’s supporters, defense lawyer David Schoen is being harshly criticized for his thinly veiled threat - warning that impeaching the former president could very well result in even more violence from Donald Trump’s easily enraged base. So, if I understand Schoen’s argument correctly, it sounds as if he’s implying that “if you bring Trump to trial, then that angry, violent mob who attacked the Capitol, wanting to hang Vice President Pence and kill various members of Congress, might get really, really mad again - and there will be reprisals.”   You know, we’re talking stuff like ”Nice country you have here - be a damn shame if something were to happen to it!”  In other words, Schoen’s trying to incite violence, in defense of a man who’s facing trial - over inciting violence.  They don’t teach you that in law school.   Now, is it jus...

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo

Trump Returns to Do White House Coronavirus Briefings Solo:  Three months after he abandoned the daily virus briefings and attempted to turn the country’s attention to what he described as the “great American comeback,” President Trump took the lectern in the White House briefing room alone on Tuesday, free to say whatever he wanted without any distractions from the usual bunch “sciencey nerds” behind him. And, in a rare moment of candor, Trump reluctantly admitted that the spread of the coronavirus will likely get worse before it gets better, and that people should probably wear masks.  Well said Mr President!  The fact is, most of us are already rather optimistic things will begin to get better - sometime after November 3rd. Ironically, now that Trump is finally admitting the virus is spreading fast and that people should wear masks, you’d think most of those armed militia thugs, whom Trump egged on to to out and “liberate” those Democratic run states from t...

Former Trump National Security Advisor Warns ‘Deep State’ Putting COVID Vaccine in Salad Dressing

Former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired and then prosecuted for lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being ultimately pardoned by Trump, is now sliding further into the QAnon conspiracy world, telling the hosts of an online show dedicated to COVID and election fraud conspiracies - that he has heard the “Deep State” is attempting to “sneak coronavirus vaccine into salad dressing.” Now, I have no idea where Gen. Flynn got this information, but my guess is it was probably a text from Mike Lindell or Rudy Giuliani, alerting him to the “hidden dangers of salad dressing.”  Or, it could have been Nicki Minaj for all I know.  After all, she does have another cousin who has a friend in Timbuktu.  Word on the street has it the “Deep State” will initially start with “Ranch Dressing” to vaccinate the cowboys, then move on to “Russian Dressing,” to get the rest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, I hate to rain on Gen. Flynn’s conspiracy the...
