Let’s start with Excitable Bill, who’s developments use massive amounts of energy all around the world
As bitcoin pushes toward new highs, billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates is sounding an alarm on the cryptocurrency’s strikingly high carbon footprint–which is only bound to worsen as mainstream adoption of the world’s largest cryptocurrency soars as expected.
“Bitcoin uses more electricity per transaction than any other method known to mankind,†Gates told the New York Times in a recent interview, calling himself a “bitcoin skeptic,” and adding that “it’s not a great climate thing.â€
Now tell us about the carbon footprint of all the computers using Microsoft Windows. Oh, and Bill’s CF for his mega mansion, private jets, and so forth
Is Climate Change Making Allergy Season Worse? These Scientists Think So
During allergy season, some unfortunate souls spend a disproportionate part of their time experiencing some or all of the above. In the US alone, more than 50 million people are allergy sufferers.
Now scientists say climate change could be causing allergy season to start earlier and last longer.
A team of researchers from institutions across the US has reviewed data relating to pollen trends from 1990 to 2018. The conclusions they came to were that pollen is present in the air 20 days sooner than it used to be and at significantly higher concentrations – as much as 21% up.
OK, compare this, if we’re doing science, to not only the rest of the Modern Warm Period, but previous Holocene warm and cool periods. Heck, how about during the slight cooling from the mid 40’s to the late 70’s. Seriously, there’s nothing unusual at all about a Holocene warm period having trees bloom earlier. Now, though, we have climahysteria
Young people seeking to change federal policy on climate change try new tactic
(a couple paragraphs of the kiddies losing their climacase)
Evidence in the case shows that federal officials’ “actions (or inaction), such as coal leasing, oil development, fossil fuel industry subsidies, and the setting of fuel efficiency standards for vehicles†are violating the youths’ rights, their lawyers said in a federal court filing in Oregon. The youths “merely seek justice for the injuries they are suffering at the hands of their government,†and a judicial declaration of illegality would be a major step forward, the filing said.
The lawyers also urged the Biden administration to abandon the “scorched-earth tactics†of President Donald Trump’s administration, which fought the suit for four years, and to negotiate a settlement “based on technically and economically feasible solutions to the climate crisis.â€
I have an idea
Good old Wily Bill Gates thinks he’s The Elwood and has a degree in well, everything!

The Kye finds Dr Immanuel to be persuasive, which is not surprising. She pimped hydroxychloroquine as a Covid cure. It isn’t. She is a strong supporter of trump.
She claimed that many gynecological illnesses result from sex dreams with succubi and incubi and receiving demon sperm, endometriosis, infertility, miscarriages, and sexually transmitted infections are caused by spirit spouses.
Dr. Immanuel is also a pastor of the Fire Power Ministries. She is a long-time critic of what she views as sexual immorality, including sex outside marriage, homosexuality, polygamy and what she called “homosexual terrorism”. Immanuel thinks space alien DNA is used in medical treatments and that reptile spirits and other extraterrestrials run the U.S. Also, that The Illuminati are using witches to destroy the world through abortion, gay marriage, and children’s media (e.g. Harry Potter, Pokémon, etc). She said scientists are developing vaccines to stop people from being religious.
On twitter, after her Facebook was bumped: “Hello Facebook, put back my profile page and videos up or your computers will start crashing until you do. You are not bigger than God. I promise you. If my page is not back up Facebook will be down in Jesus name”.
The Kye finds Dr Immanuel to speak “the truth”. This has been, and continues to be, a significant problem in the nuCon ignorati – belief in ideas and conspiracies that are demonstrably untrue.
Much of what conservatives hold tight as “the truth”, is actually false.
When the elite start to go against something, you know its good and a threat to the status quo and their power structure. Add Bill Gates to the long list of BTC skeptics who have been utterly wrong over the last 10 years. Much like alarmist climate ‘experts’. BTC has been declared doomed to fail at almost every price level since $4.
Its also a dishonest argument. Its like saying you don’t like boats because cargo ships consume too much fuel, without acknowledging that you can travel by sailboat as well. You can invest in crypto in many ways, including proof of stake currencies that require very little power. And ETH 2.0 is just around the corner. I’ll be staked in that, but not because of stupid ideas about climate change.
“Is Bitcoin Heading To Zero?†– Forbes | $8,718.73
“Warren Buffett says bitcoin is ‘probably rat poison squared’†– CNBC | $9,671.02
Oh, and, BTC is at $56K today.
Oh look, Bill Gates, you ignorant slut! My ethereum mine is about to kick out another coin to me tomorrow, and another bitcoin fraction in a couple more days. It is powered by a hydroelectric dam in Iceland. Renewable energy powered bitcoin transactions. Did you even think about that, you fu**ing moron???!!
Since old Bill obviously can’t be that stupid, he must have an agenda. And its related to why he’s become the biggest private farmland owner in the USA.
Under Trump the super wealthy massive permanent tax breaks
Under his plan the tax breaks for the rest of us ended last year
Bill Gates has pledged to give away most of his wealth during his lifetime
Microsoft has been carbon neutral since 2012
All the individual tax cuts are set to expire at the same time, John. But it’s always fun reading your posts..
It is very carbon unsustainable for people to suffer from allergies. They should stop doing that.
