I'm Canadian.

I like RFK, have read the Fauci book.

Impressive speaker.

Impressive researcher.

Can't wrap my head around his Climate views though...

That's the problem with the guy (as president) in a nutshell. (He's bought into the climate nonsense, hook, line and sinker.)

He's done an incredible service to this country by putting out the book on Fauci, which is remarkable when one considers the members of his own party who are still lying prostrate before the man. But this doesn't qualify him to be president.

What qualifies him to be president is his knowledge and commitment to upholding our constitution.

He has made the statement that he would change his mind on climate change if he learns new facts! The overwhelming manipulation of data to push the climate con for profit is the problem!

Is biden qualified to be president? IтАЩd take my chances with RFK if given the choice.

I'd take my chances with a stranger whose name I pulled from a phone directory, but that wouldn't make the stranger qualified for the job.

I believe he just hasn't seen the full data on climate yet. I just got some climate data about 3-4 months ago that convinced me that the fear mongering on climate change is not based on manipulating the facts. RFK Jr has done far more homework on other issues than I have, so it seems possible that he just hasn't yet fully studied the climate data to see the manipulation.

A few weeks ago I sent his campaign some data to look into that might change his mind on another key issue, and was impressed with the very simple, straightforward appreciation expressed in their reply. So it may also be helpful to send them data on the climate change that reveals the manipuations.

correction: the fear mongering is based on manipulating the facts

But isn't this the same problem (albeit in another direction)?

A person who knows 7% of the subject matter but will fill up the other 93% with emotion and then dictate as a zealot?

I don't care if the mandates are based on Covidiasm or environmentalism; if the person in office (or trying to get there) doesn't know what he or she is talking about, then a bit of humility and a lot of general human decency demand that we should keep our mouths shut until we do.

If we keep our mouths shut, we don't learn where our ideas are incorrect. I agree that a bit of humility and a lot of human decency are needed, and from what I've seen he exhibits those characteristics very consistently. What environmental mandates are your referring to?

Environmentalism is all about mandates. It's about government mandates on auto manufacturers to produce smaller cars, it's about NYS mandating against gas stoves in new construction, et cetera. (These are the benchmarks by which the environmentalists demonstrate their piety.)

RFK Jr is on a podcast that hit Rumble recently (it was either Joe Rogan or Bret Weinstein). During this conversation, RFK is arguing that the anecdotal evidence from his life experiences is proof of global warming.

He's an emotional thinker, which means that he can't be allowed to be a decision-maker, at least at the level of the presidency.

Let him lead the team that prosecutes Fauci and all of the other lunatics; he will do far more for the country in that capacity than he would do as President.

The ban on gas stoves is a policy of the people RFK is running against and has nothing to do with the environment. Whatever тАЬmandatesтАЭ there have been for smaller cars have clearly been for virtue signalling. SUVs are among the most popular cars on the roads, truck abound, and a car I purchased this year which is advertised as one of the smaller cars on the market has an absolute fit every time I pull it out of my one-car garage.

An emotional thinker could never win the court cases he has won, or give the testimony he gave during the onslaught at the recent Congressional committee hearing. The humility and human decency/emotional intelligence you advocate may be mistaken for emotional thinking, but thatтАЩs a mistake. RFK Jr is a master at anchoring in his frontal lobe which operates synergistically with his emotional intelligence.

His success during his long career indicates that heтАЩs a very wise decision-maker.

The evidence from his life experiences have shown him that there has been far too much destruction of the earthтАЩs natural habitats and resources, including forests that sequester CO2. Like many others, he has mistakenly bought into the claim that the lower CO2 sequestering is causing the rise in the atmospheric temperature. HeтАЩs correct that the destruction of habitats, which leads to desertification, is a serious threat to our longterm survival (see Dave ForemanтАЩs Rewilding North America).

LetтАЩs see what RFKs solutions are for the rise in temperatures. If the solutions include rewilding our habitats, revitalizing our farmlands with regenerative farming (see the documentary The Biggest Little Farm), and cleaning up our water sources, those will be solutions that prevent desertification and species extinction as well as making our air healthier, so they are beneficial for all of humanity and for future generations. ItтАЩs also reasonable to expect that he will learn about how the data on rising temperatures has been manipulated for the purposes of fearmongering.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear. Ed
