‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Author Claims Warming Oceans Will Cause Car Crashes

margaret atwood viewMargaret Atwood claimed Friday that her main concern with regard to climate was the warming oceans, which she connected to an increase in traffic accidents.

Atwood, who appeared on ABC’s “The View” to discuss the sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” explained that warming oceans would decrease the available oxygen in the atmosphere and insufficient oxygen to the brain would then cause more traffic accidents.

Joy Behar posed the question, noting that she herself was “obsessed with climate change” and that Atwood had spoken out about the topic in the past. “Really fast, tell me what bothers you the most,” she said.

“Okay. The thing to keep your eye on is the warmth of the ocean,” Atwood explained. “Because if the ocean warms too much, the marine algae that make 60% to 80% of the oxygen we breathe will die and we’ll choke to death.”

“We’ll have a lot of traffic accidents first because our brains will be oxygen-starved, but that’s the thing that will really do us in,” Atwood continued, adding that the extreme weather systems and superstorms that some climate alarmists have warned about may not even have a chance to have an impact.

“If you have no oxygen, you’re not going to be worrying about the monster hurricanes.”

    Liberal Screwballs who thinks all life on Earth came crawling out of the Ocean the late Carl Sagan was into this sort of poppycock

  2. Amber says:
    6 years ago

    Truly stunning she is handed a soft ball by a “comedian ” who is worried about the climate . These are examples of how the school system has stopped critical thinking .
    Oh Maggie just for the record , how did you arrive at your conclusion that cars were going to start crashing into each other ? Err well …. you see … well I err .. I am a fiction writer and now a fiction speaker .
    I predict on Maggie’s 80 birthday she is going to look like Rachel Welch
    in the movie One Million Years BC. Oxygen or no oxygen, take it to the bank .
    I also believe the election of Trump has caused a massive Democrat mental breakdown .
    Anyone they send will be like beating up a bag of milk to Trump .

  3. The Old Man says:
    6 years ago

    Atwood is STEM cell deprived, like those around her. She hasn’t connected the fact that increased demand for Oxygen requires an increased supply of CO2for the process to keep up.. Oh wait.. sorry.. she a fiction writer, so gets a pass.

  4. Spurwing Plover says:
    6 years ago

    That Andrew Yang Screwball has called for the elmination of Privately Owned Cars Frankly he needs to be checked into the Nut House and room with the guy who thinks he in Napoleon

  5. Sonnyhill says:

    The Canadian Liberals are disposable plastic garbage floating dead in the water. A plastic straw reminds me of Justin Trudeau …hollow. Done.

  6. Amber says:
    6 years ago

    Canada had a bad week . MR Dress Up found doing black /brown face 3 times
    and now according to fiction writer Atwood people are going to start crashing into each other due to oxygen deprivation as the oceans warm up .
    Well the liberals did legalize weed and apparently some other junk ?
    Megan McCain looked like she was going to run off the set or around to the camera crew with a holy shit look that said …did you actually get this ?

  7. Shoki Kaneda says:
    6 years ago

    I’ve done a bit of hiking above ten thousand feet. While I wasn’t at peak form, I was far from incoherent. Even if the tripe this woman spews were correct, we would be a very long way from anoxia-induced traffic accidents.

  8. JayPee says:
    6 years ago

    Margaret Atwood should stick to
    writing fiction
    And NOT
    TALKING FICTION !

  9. Amber says:
    6 years ago

    Bizarre just bizarre. I thought she was supposed to be an intellectual ?
    Does this mean cyclists will go first ?
    Maybe she meant carbon monoxide from hair spray .

  10. Al Shelton says:
    6 years ago

    It is obvious that Maggie is already short of oxygen in the brain.

  11. Steve Bunten says:
    6 years ago

    Atwood has finally totally lost her mental faculties. Of all the bizarre things the so-called climate scientists have come up with they’ve not come up with this one so gotta wonder what orifice she pulled this one out of.

  12. Gaz says:
    6 years ago

    OMFG! Handmaid’s tale — it figures.

  13. Spurwing Plover says:
    6 years ago

    Where are the guys with the straight jacket and padded cell for this loose in the caboose nut-case would someone please call the zoo and tell them their wild howler monkey has been located

  14. Stan Wilde says:
    6 years ago

    Hahahahahahaha! Glad I read that, I needed a good laugh!

  15. Sonnyhill says:
    6 years ago

    More fiction from Atwood.
