\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to stay focused on this thing I found yesterday that I previously mentioned about needing to reengineer human genetics in order to save the planet. It was on a tech blog, and these are Millennials, and they are all-in on this. They have bought every lie. They have bought every phony nonscience disguised as science assumption about this, and it\u2019s getting precarious now because they\u2019re genuinely frightened. This is what\u2019s happening to them, it\u2019s what\u2019s happening to these Millennials and others, all of this, this never-ending crisis after crisis after crisis news story, day after day after day is literally scaring some of these people. <\/p>\n

By the way, there\u2019s a story about that, about how college-age students today end up calling 911 when they see a mouse in the dorm<\/a>. I mean, literally petrified over seeing a mouse. They have been so sheltered and protected by their parents, they haven\u2019t the slightest idea how to live on their own. They live in perpetual fear of everything they hear in the news that\u2019s gonna kill them or destroy them or destroy the planet. They believe this stuff. And how anybody could believe this is beyond me, but that\u2019s what I want to share with you. The website I found it on is Gizmodo, which is part of the Gawker network of websites. And if you\u2019re gonna go there, Gawker, I wouldn\u2019t recommend it, you\u2019re really gonna need an open mind and you\u2019re gonna have to have the ability not to hold me responsible. But the headline of the piece here, “To Stop Climate Change, We Must Genetically Engineer Humans<\/a> — A lot of researchers are thinking about how to genetically engineer crops and food animals to help them withstand post-climate change heat and parched conditions.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, meanwhile, it hasn\u2019t gotten any warmer in almost 19 years. And in fact the real science that\u2019s out there now is getting very cautiously concerned about a coming glacial age. And yet these kids are all-in on their belief that global warming is happening, it\u2019s irreversible, and now we need to start planning for our lives 30 years down the road for after we\u2019ve all been affected by it. Meanwhile, have you seen there\u2019s a hurricane out there that just magically formed, it\u2019s near the Bahamas? Have you seen a picture of the computer models and the track they are forecasting? There must be 30 computer models — and that\u2019s, by the way, the only thing we have to tell us about global warming. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t doubt me. There is no science, there\u2019s no data. It\u2019s just predictions in computer models. You take a look at all of those models of the track, Hurricane Joaquin, by the way, is the name of it, everybody is wondering, where will Joaquin enter the country? We\u2019re talking about predicting the track of a hurricane tomorrow and the next day, and if you look at all of these models you will clearly see that nobody is confident of where it\u2019s gonna go. Nobody has the slightest idea. Even the hurricane center\u2019s official forecast cone is so wide now as to be a joke, and yet they tell us in 20 years, in 30 years, in 50 years, a hundred years the earth is going to be whatever it is. And here you have people believing it without question, without question, young people believing it and getting scared and signing up for this, signing on to it and therefore agreeing to the most ridiculous things that Democrats and leftists around the world propose in order to solve the problem. <\/p>\n

And there\u2019s nothing we can do even if it is happening. We didn\u2019t cause it, we can\u2019t stop it. All of this is so absurd, folks. It\u2019s almost beyond my ability to express how ridiculous this all is. But, you know, when you keep young people scared when you frighten them and you tell them that their future is bleak and that there\u2019s nothing on their own they can do about it because powerful forces beyond our control are dictating these things, what are they gonna do? They\u2019re gonna invest their hope and their trust and their faith in all of these distant figures in distant capitals who claim to have the answer to save their lives. <\/line><\/p>\n

So listen again to how this story starts. “A lot of researchers are thinking about how to genetically engineer crops and food animals to help them withstand post-climate change heat and parched conditions.” We\u2019re thinking about now, what, 20 years, 30 years? They won\u2019t tell us what climate change is gonna do tomorrow or next year or even two years from now. No, no, no, no, they won\u2019t do that, \u2019cause they can\u2019t. They don\u2019t know what climate change is gonna cause in the next day. But somehow they\u2019re confident of the next 30 years, 50? And of course they do that because nobody\u2019s gonna be alive to check whether they were right or wrong. <\/p>\n

Back to the story. “But what about genetically engineering humans to slow our constant carbon contributions?” Such as slowing down our breathing because when we exhale, guess what comes out? Pollution, CO2. <\/p>\n

“In 2012 a philosopher named Matthew Liao co-authored a paper that proposed altering human biology to combat climate change. In the paper, Liao and his colleagues propose a number of possible changes to human biology to help us combat climate change. When the paper came out, it got a lot of attention. Some people thought that Liao and his colleagues were trolling the academic community or that it was some sort of early April Fools joke. Bill McKibbon, a prominent environmental advocate Tweeted that the suggestions in the paper were the ‘worst climate change solutions of all time.\u2019 And, of course, climate skeptics thought it was totally insane.”<\/p>\n

But now people are looking at it differently. Why? What\u2019s changed? Nothing\u2019s changed. It isn\u2019t any warmer than it was, except they think it is. They\u2019ve been told, what was it, this year, or last year, it was the hottest year ever on record? You know what that\u2019s like? That\u2019s like saying that there used to be two-thirds of Mars covered by water, but it\u2019s now gone, probably due to a catastrophic event probably caused by climate change. We don\u2019t have the slightest idea if last year or this year is the hottest ever. No idea. We\u2019ve only been keeping records a hundred years. We have no clue. We don\u2019t even really know how old the earth is, to where everybody agrees with it, so it\u2019s absurd. But these young people buy it. <\/p>\n

So here\u2019s the upshot of this. It\u2019s all about the ideas from “scientists” (and I put that in quotes) who are exploring the modification of human genes to take the burden off of the planet. Because, you see, human beings in our natural state are destructive. Human beings in our natural just go about our lives, daily business are destructive. We are destroying the planet just the by virtue of our existence. And these changes come from this paper written in 2012. <\/p>\n

\"large\"It\u2019s getting a second look after many people think it was a joke at first. Remember, we\u2019re dealing with questionably sane people here. That\u2019s why I take stuff seriously. I listen to these people, just like I listen to the Iranians when they tell us what they\u2019re gonna do. I listen to our enemies when they tell us they\u2019re gonna wipe us out. I listen to these people when they tell us what they believe. And here are the three things. They want to make us..<\/line><\/p>\n

They want to genetically alter human so that we can see at night, so that we won\u2019t need electricity, so that we won\u2019t need lights, so that we will not destroy the planet. They want to make us allergic to meat. They want to biologically alter, genetically alter human beings so that everybody is allergic to beef so that less is eaten, which means there will be fewer cow farts, which means there will be less methane, which means less climate change. And they want to make us smaller. <\/p>\n

They want to genetically engineer human beings so that we are smaller people so that our human being footprint and everything about our lives is smaller — the amount of energy we use, the amount of pollutants we exhale — and they want to be able to fit us all in littler and littler places like smaller and smaller public housing and so forth. These are the things that are now being given a serious look, and these young Millennials who think they\u2019re on the cutting edge technical-wise think, “Hey, you know what…?” <\/p>\n

They\u2019re all-in. Think it\u2019s fascinating and well worth looking into, \u2019cause 30 years from now we gotta alter cattle and other food animals to be able to withstand the post-climate change heat. Which means it must be done! It\u2019ll be so bad that nobody\u2019s gonna be able to survive it unless we genetically alter ourselves. These people all vote Democrat, folks. This is why this matters to me. Virtually all of these people vote Democrat, and that is what is at the root of practically every problem culturally, politically, and economically our country faces right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
