What do you get when you cross climate change propaganda on infrastructure with a totally ignorant readership? Turns out it is the stupidest article in the world, published Wednesday by Time Magazine.

From the opening sentence to the final word, Time Magazine’s article on the I-95 bridge collapse in Philadelphia assumes its readers are the dumbest people alive. Written by Jeffrey Kluger, the piece attempts to blame the collapse on climate change, and fear-mongers in the weirdest way possible — against the transport of fuel around the country.

For those of you who may not be aware, in early June, a tanker fire ignited beneath an I-95 on-ramp, causing a portion of the interstate road to collapse. Some people have claimed it’ll take months to complete the repairs. Literally speaking, yes, the bridge will take a long time to repair. Practically speaking, the bridge could have been fixed already, but that would mean countless people wouldn’t make loads of money from making the repairs take longer.

The bridge also serves as part of a major thoroughfare for the transport of goods around the country, so having it be unusable is another great way to create chaos across the country.

But why would we care about this blatant corruption when we could use this crisis to further push the myths and legends cultivated by leftists on the topic of climate change?

Kluger’s entire thesis reads like a manifesto against Big Oil, even referring to tankers that carry fuel around our nation as “rolling bombs.” But it’s not just tankers that We The People should hate: Kluger wants us to hate all cars, because cars are killing us. Electric vehicles, though, they only kill and enslave millions of Africans and Asians in their development, so that’s what America needs to focus on — leave your perfectly workable cars to rot in landfills and buy brand-new cars made from non-recycled materials and the hands of enslaved children.

I’m obviously kidding. Electric vehicles are the new blood diamond, and I will absolutely die on this hill. (RELATED: Canadian Government Forest Fire Stats Contradict White House ‘Climate Change’ Narrative)

Perhaps Kluger hasn’t actually dug into the science of climate change (like I have, in my degrees, etc). If he had, he’d know one of the best ways to live at one with the planet is to actually stop making and buying new cars altogether. We have plenty of materials and people with the necessary skillsets to update the millions of vehicles in North America to pass arbitrary fuel checks and get us from Point A to Point B.

But recycling doesn’t actually make people money. The type of propaganda spewed by Kluger makes people money. And every climate activist spewing this rhetoric is just a manipulated pawn in this pursuit — largely pushed by globalist elites.

Bless their hearts … but surely it’s time to actually start standing up to this stupidity before it’s used to revoke all our freedoms?
