You’re going for a nice hike out in the wilderness, to just enjoy, relax, become one with nature. Look at some wonderful scenery, enjoy all the wildlife and such. But, no, a doomsday cult has to nag you
Trump administration pulls climate change signs from Acadia National Park
The National Park Service recently removed numerous signs at Acadia National Park that detailed the mounting impacts of climate change on Maine’s coast and forests.
The move is part of a sweeping campaign that the Trump administration says is aimed at “restoring truth and sanity to American history.”
The now-removed Acadia signs, installed in 2023 at the summit of Cadillac Mountain and at the 100-acre Great Meadow wetland, informed visitors of the many ways Maine’s only official national park is changing and how park officials are working to better manage the ecosystem amid rising temperatures and extreme weather.
“Acadia is changing, so are we,” read one of the signs. “The rapidly changing climate requires new approaches to restoration.”
So, you made it to the top of the mountain, 1,530 high, and you get nagged by a cult.
In a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum last week, Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) condemned the removal of national park signage as a blatant attempt to “whitewash history” and “limit the exchange and expression of factual information about climate science.”
“Our national parks are not billboards for propaganda,” she wrote. “They are places where millions of people come each year to learn, reflect, and confront both the beauty and the difficult truths of our shared history. Stripping away this context erodes the very mission of the Park Service and insults the public’s right to know.”
Has she given up her own use of fossil fuels? Can people just hike in peace without a side of cult nag?
Since the left can’t take back the White House before January 20, 2029, if we can keep this silliness out of our government and national parks until at least then, won’t we have blown by yet another tipping point, so we can just forget the whole thing?
… blown by yet another tipping point, so we can just forget the whole thing?
Being proven wrong never stops the Left from claiming they are right. It’s not about climate change. It’s about the money they loot from the federal treasury. Climate change is just the justification they put on the spending bills and no-bid contracts to their friends that never have to produce anything.
My wonderful wife — of 46 years, 4 months, and 13 days — just cooked us bacon and eggses on our fossil fueled range. There’s toast as well, though toasted using electricity, but I can take heart in the fact that the electricity was generated through the burning of fossil fuels.
Does burning uranium atoms in an atomic reaction count as fossil fuels?
No. Burning fossil fuels converts complex organic molecules into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. Coal yields ~0.024 megajoules/gram.
In a nuclear reactor, uranium-235 undergoes nuclear fission when bombarded by a neutron, splitting into two smaller nuclei (called fission products) like Barium and Krypton, releasing, you guessed it, energy! U-235 yields ~82,000 MJ/gram.
82000/.024 = 3.5 million. That’s how much more energy efficient uranium is than coal.
Every scientist on Earth understands that atmospheric CO2 (and other gases like methane, water) absorb infrared energy because their molecular structures allow them to vibrate and have a changing electric dipole moment, which matches the frequency of infrared radiation. This interaction causes the molecules to absorb the photon’s energy, increase their vibrational motion, and re-emit the infrared radiation in all directions (down, sideways, up!.
Most scientists understand that this phenomenon contributes to global warming. Without greenhouse gases the Earth would be very, very cold indeed!
Or like Donnie and Teach you can just say nuh uh!
Now do DDT.
Bwaha!
