Moronic Contradiction: How can we all switch to solar power if Bill Gates blocks the sun with pollution?

woman_beach
The crazy Left never seems to think anything through before announcing schemes for the "greater good" or to "save the planet" from global warming. Take for instance the "Green New Deal." We are all supposed to believe that somehow we can replace every fuel-burning machine in America in 10 years, including every factory, machine plant, automobile, farm tractor, and tractor trailer truck, with solar-powered and wind-powered alternatives. We do this or we all burn alive two years later. That's the soap box speech dominating the leading Democrats' tour of every staged and soldout "town hall" meeting preparing for the 2020 Presidential race.

Yet, as absurd as that all sounds, the entire plan is plain-as-day CONTRADICTED by their own other plan to stop global warming (now renamed climate change) in its tracks - called ScoPEx - or Bill Gates' stratosphere corporate pollution extreme scheme to block out the sun with "particulate matter." So, then Bill, please inform all us stupid humans how solar-powered anything will run all the machines? That's what we thought. It won't. It's just another moronic contradiction they either didn't think about themselves or figure nobody else will.

September snow descends on Mt. Rose Highway in Nevada

Mt. Rose Highway on September 10
It's still technically summer, but it sure felt like winter for a fleeting moment in the high country on Tuesday.

Video taken along the Mt. Rose Highway between Incline Village and Reno showed the road covered in a fresh layer of snow.

The video was taken at about the 8550' level after a couple of small showers and thunderstorms moved through the area.

Many people were wondering if the deluge was something other than snow, like sleet. However, according to NWS Reno, Tuesday's incident was definitely snow or snow pellets known as "graupel" - snowflakes that are covered with ice.

Huge sinkhole swallows taxi after opening up on Chinese road

sinkhole
A taxi driver had to sprint to freedom from his cab moments after it was swallowed up by an enormous sinkhole.

The cabbie, named Guo, ran from his car after the 13ft deep chasm opened up in Ningxia, northern China.

The 33-year-old had just dropped off a fare. 'After my passenger got out, I drove forwards, then my car suddenly began sinking into the ground. I was shocked and immediately tried to open my door to get out,' he said. 'But my car became misshapen in the sinkhole, so I had to kick it open and ran out.'
