Climate Cultist Recommends Eating Human Flesh To Solve Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach September 6, 2019 – 10:31 am

Now, Comrade Bernie was pushing this

(Real Clear Politics) Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders answered “yes” and spoke about abortion when asked at a CNN town hall event Wednesday night if population control would play a part in his administration’s policy for dealing with climate change.

“Human population growth has more than doubled in the past 50 years. The planet cannot sustain this growth. I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians, but it’s crucial to face,” an audience member asked. “Empowering women and educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a plan to address climate catastrophe?”

“And the Mexico City agreement, which denies American aid to those organizations around the world that allow women to have abortions or even get involved in birth control to me is totally absurd. So I think especially in poor countries around the world where women do not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies and where they can have the opportunity through birth control to control the number of kids they have, is something I very, very strongly support,” he concluded.

So, population reduction, especially for those black and brown people in 3rd world countries….funny how Democrats/Warmists always want to hit up “minorities.” But, then we have this

From the link

Climate Change alarmism has taken a macabre turn that will seem to be satire, but is not. It happened in Sweden.

At a summit for food of the future (the climate-ravaged future) called Gastro Summit, in Stockholm Sept 3-4, a professor held a powerpoint presentation asserting that we must “awaken the idea” of eating human flesh in the future, as a way of combatting the effects of climate change.

In a talk titled “Can you Imagine Eating Human Flesh?” behavioral scientist and marketing strategist Magnus Söderlund from “Handelshögskolan” (College of Commerce) argues for the breaking down of the ancient taboos against desecrating the human corpse and eating human flesh.

He refers to the taboos against it as “conservative,” and discusses people’s resistance to it as a problem that could be overcome, little by little, beginning with persuading people to just taste it. He can be seen in his video presentation and on State Swedish Television channel TV4 saying that since food sources will be scarce in the future, people must be introduced to eating things they have thus far considered disgusting–among them, human flesh.

If you think this won’t eventually become a more mainstream Warmist position, you haven’t been paying attention to them

People can be “tricked” Soderlund teases, into “making the right decisions.”

Conflating resistance to eating human flesh with capitalist selfishness, the seminar’s talking points ask:

“Are we humans too selfish to live sustainably?

The Power And Anger, But Mostly Anger, Of Climate Change Voters Is Growing Or Something

By William Teach September 6, 2019 – 7:11 am

The Cult of Climastrology may be driving much of what the Democratic candidates are saying and the policies they’re trotting out during the pre-primaries, but, it won’t help in the general elections

The growing power and anger of climate change voters

The voter passionately motivated by climate change was once something of an anomaly. But that is changing as President Donald Trump has systematically unraveled the nation’s environmental regulations at the same time that Americans have witnessed a series of climate-related crises: fires in the Amazon, hurricanes that churn with increasing fury and record-shattering temperatures and weather events across the US.

Surprisingly, this isn’t in an opinion section, but, hey, CNN

For the first time in any presidential cycle, Democrats had a mainstream candidate — in Washington Gov. Jay Inslee — who ran a campaign centered on climate change. Since Inslee dropped out last month, his former rivals have vowed to pick up his mantle — with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren literally adopting Inslee’s climate change plan as her own as she and nine other candidates prepared for CNN’s town hall solely focused on the climate crisis.

So, the only guy who’s entire campaign was based on Hotcoldwetdry failed miserably? Huh.

“In 2018, we saw a big shift in terms of candidates running on climate change as never before, and that has only increased as we’re seeing in the presidential,” Sittenfeld said. “I think — if not every candidate, pretty close to every single candidate — who is going to be on (CNN’s town hall) stage has put out an ambitious, comprehensive plan to combat the climate crisis. So we’ve definitely seen that this issue is finally starting to get the attention that it deserves.”

Interestingly, the policies they push for ‘climate change’ dovetail perfectly with the rest of their authoritarian/SJW beliefs, and seem to spend less time on ‘climate change’ than on all the authoritarian/SJW stuff.

The growing alarm is most pronounced among younger voters. John Della Volpe, who directs the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics poll, noted that climate change “is now viewed as a top area of concern within both a domestic and foreign policy framework” for those within the 18-29 year-old age group, though it generally still ranks behind health care, the economy and immigration.

Good luck depending on the youth vote. It never materializes.

Of course, there’s a lot of anti-Trump stuff in the screed

He has mocked the “Green New Deal” proposed by Democrats as an exorbitantly costly and unnecessary — a policy disagreement that is likely to loom large during the general election.

Would this be the same GND that Democrats won’t vote on in the House and voted “present” on in the Senate?

Anyhow, blah blah blah, hate on Trump, polls polls polls, all while forgetting that the majority do not even want to pay $10 a month to “solve” Hotcoldwetdry.

Washington Post Is Super Happy That Walmart Is Curbing Gun Violence Or Something

By William Teach September 6, 2019 – 6:57 am

See, Walmart always requires a federal background check, as required by federal law, when they sell a firearm, so, the people who buy them are following the law and have to be law abiding to pass said NICS check, which is what Democrats want, right? They also stopped selling any scary looking “assault style weapons” back in 2015, and rarely had them in the first place. And stopped selling handguns, something most stores didn’t have in the first place. Their sales accounted for maybe 2% of lawful sales. But, now, the Washington Post Editorial Board is super happy

Walmart is acting to curb gun violence. How about Congress?

THE SPARK for Walmart’s action is terrible: deadly shootings at two of its stores this summer, with 24 people slaughtered. Nonetheless, the giant retailer’s realization that “the status quo is unacceptable” should be applauded. Walmart will change its gun policies, ending the sale of ammunition that can be used in military-style assault rifles. By acknowledging it has a role in helping to make the country safer, Walmart hopefully sets an example that other companies — not to mention Congress — will follow.

Walmart on Tuesday waded full-stream into the national gun debate with its unexpected announcement that it will no longer sell certain kinds of ammunition, will completely end the sale of handguns and will prohibit customers from openly carrying guns in its stores, even where doing so is permitted by law. Walmart already had stopped selling assault-style weapons and had imposed age limits and background checks on gun sales that were stricter than federal law.

Tuesday’s announcement — notably its call to Congress to increase background checks and consider a new ban on assault weapons — showed a bold willingness to take a lead on this fraught issue. That Kroger quickly joined Walmart in asking customers not to openly carry guns in its stores and also called for stricter background checks underscored the importance of the country’s largest employer paving the way.

What do background checks solve? Is Walmart admitting that they weren’t performing them?

No doubt, as some critics have pointed out, Walmart’s evolution on gun sales might be tied to other motives, such as new emphasis in building online markets in East and West Coast cities and suburbs where gun sales are not key and the clientele is more liberal. But if, indeed, Walmart has determined that guns and the violence that accompanies them are bad for business, so much the better. We hope Republicans in Congress who refuse to wake up to the need for gun reform find their stance is bad for business, too.

See, this is exactly why gun rights supporters are loathe to allow anything to go forward, because we know it is just the beginning. Give the gun grabbers expanded background checks, which only works with a owned gun database, and bans on “assault weapons”, then they will want bans on other semi-automatics. On this rifle and that handgun. On open and concealed carry. On ammunition

(CBS News) The Bentonville, Arkansas-based discounter said Tuesday it will stop selling handgun ammunition as well as short-barrel rifle ammunition, such as the .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber used in military style weapons, after it runs out of its current inventory. That in turn will reduce Walmart’s market share of ammunition from around 20% to a range of about 6% to 9%, according to a memo by the company CEO Doug McMillon.

So, I can’t get my .22LR ammo for my tiny popgun anymore? Huh. I guess 9mm is out, as well. And people can’t get .223 for their hunting rifles? Wow, that’ll teach criminals and mass murderers! Which is what the gun grabbers want. Ban ammunition. If they can’t get that, then they want background checks, which cost money and time, as well as high taxes, on ammunition. Plus limiting the amount that can be purchased. So, when I buy 3-5 boxes of .22LR to use at the range, at 100 rounds per box, nope, they would stop me at 100.

It’s all about dinking and dunking their way towards what was done in Australia, Great Britain, and most recently in New Zealand.

Democrats: Let’s Just Ban Everything To Stop The Earth From Getting A Fever!

Except for themselves, of course

This is exactly why the DNC did not want a climate change debate. Team Trump and other Republicans will have plenty of material.

Apparently, The Cult Of Climastrology Is Male Dominated

By William Teach September 5, 2019 – 2:38 pm

Who knew that the push for Hotcoldwetdry solutions is sexist?

Hacking male-dominated environmental solutions
Numerous studies have highlighted differences between male and female responses to climate change.

About a year ago, San Francisco resident and Department of Environment employee Lavanya Deepak found herself sitting at a table with the venerable Patricia Espinosa. The United Nations Executive Secretary was in town to attend the Global Climate Action Summit, and explore ways to empower more women around environmental leadership. Wanting to “lean in” and earn her keep, Deepak spoke up.

“I said, we shouldn’t try to make women fit into a male-dominated world,” she repeated for me during a recent conversation. “Why don’t we just solve the problem, and show men how to get it done?”

Deepak is starting the process. On September 18, the San Francisco Bay Area Women’s Environmental Network (WEN), which Deepak also chairs, is hosting a hackathon. The nonprofit organized the event to bring women together to deconstruct traditional male-dominated solutions to environmental problems, and develop a framework for a more inclusive future.

So Al Gore, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, etc, are all sexists? Huh

Numerous studies have highlighted differences between male and female responses to climate change. A recent report published in the journal of the National Academy of Sciences, for example, found that women experience mental health issues at a higher rate than men as temperatures climb above 86 degrees Fahrenheit. For low-income women, the incidence of mental health cases associated with elevated temperatures is two-times higher than high-income men.

Apparently, the temperature never went above 86 anywhere on the planet prior to the fossil fueled vehicle.

These mental health issues can manifest themselves in different ways, but anxiety is a common experience associated with climate change and environmental degradation. In fact, “eco-anxiety” is so prevalent among women that the WEN hackathon will focus specifically on the topic. This is one of the reasons Dr. Renee Lertzman, a renowned Bay Area psychologist, environmental researcher and communicator, plans to attend.

“When we experience ourselves as alone in having to solve all of this, that’s when eco-anxiety kicks in and can be debilitating,” Dr. Lertzman told me. “Having the experience of being a part of something bigger — a shift from a “me” to a “we” perspective — is critical to reducing anxiety. It may be literal — joining groups — or how we see our own acts as contributing to a larger picture way beyond our small selves.”

Dr. Lertzman has studied the relationship between environmental crises and anxiety extensively, and believes women are more affected. Women, as generally more relational, may worry about how the climate crisis will impact their loved ones. Maybe a mother feels guilty about driving her kids around in a gas-powered car or buying them medicine in a plastic bottle. These feelings may trigger the experience of anxiety, particularly when alternatives aren’t clear.

Interesting. What they seem to be saying is that women are hot-house little flowers which are super weak and need to be protected. The Cult of Climastrology seems to be more sexist that thought.

This is why the upcoming WEN hackathon is so important. Our planet is continuing to heat up. Our forests are continuing to burn. We’re witnessing the sixth mass extinction, and whales with stomachs full of plastic are washing up on shore. Clearly, the traditional, European-colonist, male response to the climate crisis shouldn’t be our only approach. As Deepak said, not everyone fits into this world.

Bringing more voices to the table can help alleviate eco-anxiety, and bring us closer to a healthier, more sustainable world. And maybe women can solve the man-made problem our Earth faces.

The warming has little to do with Mankind. The others have nothing to do with climate. As for the solutions which are different than those offered by males, strangely, none are offered. It’s just “bringing more voices.”

“We as women communicate, organize, care and lead differently,” Deepak told me. “We are finally at a place where not only can we expect equality, we can do one better — thrive in our own unique way. It is time to normalize this to build diverse organizations and movements.”

Sounds like it will be a 3rd Wave Feminism bitchfest where clapping and snapping fingers is not allowed, otherwise people get triggered. And no solutions or ideas will be offered.

Nutty Guy Stages Event Where He Turns In His AK-47 To Texas Police

By William Teach September 5, 2019 – 10:45 am

Yeah, this happened

So, all law abiding citizens should turn in their firearms so that only government and criminals have them (video of the whole thing at the link)

Texas man turns in legally owned AK-47 to police in response to recent shootings, claims it takes ‘courage’ in staged news event

In a move that seemed to confuse even the police officer who greeted him at the station, a Texas man turned in his legally owned AK-47 to his local police station in an attempt to do his part to stop mass killings, according to KTBC-TV.

The man, identified in the story only as Billy from Austin, made sure to alert the media of his intentions so KTBC could send a reporter and a camera to document him bringing his weapon to an officer who appeared unsure what to do with it at first. Billy called for other legal gun owners to have the courage to follow his lead.

“I would encourage anyone that is in my position to do the same,” Billy told KTBC. “It’s not easy. It takes a lot more thought and a lot more courage to do this than to buy it.”

So, with the local news on board to film every step, Billy courageously loaded his AK-47 into his truck and drove to the police station. He left the gun in the truck and walked inside to announce his intentions to the officer on duty at the front counter.

Billy spent some time lecturing the cops before turning in the firearm, worth probably about $1,200, and got nothing back. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was either non-functional or just beat up so badly that it wasn’t worth having around. But, hey, if he wants to turn it in, this is on him. Otherwise, mind your own business

Billy’s obsession with getting his AK-47 “off the streets” is odd, considering it wasn’t really “on the street.” It was presumably in secure possession of a responsible, nonviolent owner; Billy told KTBC he had owned a gun since he was 10 years old.

Unless Billy had intentions of committing mass murder himself, he did not prevent any tragedies by giving away his own gun. But, that reality doesn’t stop Billy from being quite pleased with himself.

Exactly. Unless he is worried about being a mass murderer, why turn it in? Why tell law abiding citizens to turn in their firearms? And who wants to bet that Billy votes Democrat? And probably has a whole bunch more scary looking firearms? It’s not the guns, it’s the owners

Good call, Marnes.

Mayor Pete Blames Trump And Others For Failing To Act On Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach September 5, 2019 – 7:57 am

There were many, many, many hot takes from CNN’s “climate crisis” town hall (which used vast amounts of energy to produce, and required vast amounts of fossil fuels to get everyone there). It’s hard to pick which one, especially since many of the Democrats were lying through their teeth on many things, in order to not look like Authoritarians. This is the one that amused me the most

Buttigieg blames Trump and ‘congressional enablers’ for inaction on climate change

Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday blamed President Trump and “enablers” in Congress for the nation’s inaction on climate change.

“It’s not just him. It’s all of the enablers in the Congressional GOP,” Buttigieg said at CNN’s climate town hall.

“I mean, Congress right now it’s like it’s like a room full of doctors arguing about what to do over a cancer patient. And half of them are arguing over whether medication or surgery is the best approach. And the other half is saying cancer doesn’t exist,” he said.

Buttigieg’s comments came in response to a viewer question about what he would ask Trump during a climate debate. The South Bend, Ind., mayor said he didn’t know what he could ask that would get through to Trump.

“I can’t think of anything I could ask him other than, ‘Would you please step aside and allow us to do something about this issue because you’re clearly not ready to lead,’” he said.

It’s cute how he Blames Republicans and Trump. You know, the guy in office for just 2 1/2 years? What did Obama really do? The only policy of consequence was the Clean Power Plan, which never went into effect, was an Executive Action rather than attempting to do something through the duly elected Legislative branch, and would have skyrocketed the cost of energy for citizens. And what have Democrats done in the House? They’ve been sitting on the Green New Deal since February. Even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refuses to demand a vote on it, and she’s the primary sponsor in the House. And Democrats voted “present” on it in the Senate.

I wonder how he’s going to unify the country?

“We have to actually unify the country around this project. And that means bringing people to the table who haven’t felt that they’ve been part of the process. I mean, this is the hardest thing we will have done certainly in my lifetime,” he said. “This is on par with winning World War II, perhaps even more challenging than that.”

CNN has a long, scrolling post on each candidate as the came to the stage, and we also find

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg defended his decision to fly on private planes during his 2020 campaign despite the increased impact private air travel has on the environment

Buttigieg and his traveling aides regularly fly private, and the South Bend, Indiana, mayor spent more money on private air travel than any other candidate in the second quarter of 2019.

Asked on Wednesday about that travel, Buttigieg said he is “interested in de-carbonizing the fuel that goes into air travel” but that he flies private because “this is a very big country and I’m running to be president of the whole country.”

Buttigieg also slammed the fact that United State has an “inferior train system.”

So, your carbon footprint is bad, but, his is OK because he’s running for president.

There are too many hot takes, it’s worth the scroll to see what these idiots believe. Though, they mostly stayed away from the hardcore stuff, the raising taxes and cost of living stuff, the taking away stuff, and the Authoritarian stuff, as they know it won’t play well with the independents and GOP #NeverTrumpers, as well as the soft Democrats. It might not drive them to vote for Trump, but, it will cause them to not vote Democrat.

Bummer: Being Open Borders Is Most Unpopular Political Position For 2020

By William Teach September 5, 2019 – 7:39 am

Being open borders is pretty much the default position of every Democrat

Poll: Increasing Immigration, Giving Illegals Right to Vote Most Unpopular 2020 Political Positions

Increasing illegal and legal immigration to the United States is the most unpopular position a 2020 presidential candidate can take, as well as giving illegal aliens the right to vote, according to a new poll.

The latest Harvard/Harris Poll finds that 2020 presidential candidates who want to increase overall immigration to the U.S. — while the country already admits 1.5 million foreign nationals every year — are the least likely to win over American voters.

When all U.S. voters were asked which position would make them the most unlikely to vote for a 2020 presidential candidate, “opening our borders to many more immigrants” topped the list with 64 percent.

Increasing immigration was the top most unpopular position among swing voters, with 66 percent saying they would be unlikely to vote for a 2020 presidential candidate who favors such a policy. Wanting more immigration to the U.S. was also the most unpopular position among Republican voters, conservatives, Trump supporters, voters who identify as “moderates,” white voters, American men, voters without a college degree, rural voters, and suburban voters.

Even among Hispanic voters and black Americans, increasing immigration was the second most unpopular position a 2020 presidential candidate could take — just after increasing taxes to pay for social programs.

Oops. Adding to that, 85% of Americans are against giving illegals the ability to vote, including 80% of Democrats. And this poll has a D/R/I of 37/32/29. So, being an Open Borders advocate won’t work out too well for Democrats. I wonder if the Democrat candidates already know this, as they tend to stay away from immigration while on the campaign trail. They yammer about Hotcoldwetdry, Medicare for all, taking money from some people to give to others, and just general Trump Derangement Syndrome.

44% are unlikely/very unlikely to vote for a candidate gives free college, 39% for their universal health care scheme, and 64% are against raising taxes to pay for all sorts of new programs. (this is on page 172 of the document. Too awhile to get there). And from a few pages earlier

For independents, that’s shaking down to 42% for Democrats, 58% for Trump.

And Now Julian Castro Releases His Hotcoldwetdry Plan

By William Teach September 4, 2019 – 3:24 pm

He’s happy to spend all your money

Julián Castro unveils climate plan centered on Green New Deal principles

Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro on Tuesday began rolling out his campaign’s $10 trillion plan to address climate change, an initiative that aims to have all electricity in the U.S. be clean and renewable by 2035.

In a statement, the former mayor of San Antonio said his proposal centers on principles of the Green New Deal, an ambitious and controversial plan spearheaded by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York. Over the course of the next decade, Castro is calling for “immediate and significant” reduction in greenhouse gas emissions until the country achieves net-zero emissions by 2045 at the latest.

“Right now, the climate crisis is already devastating our communities, our homes, and our families,” Castro said in a statement. “Severe storms, deadly hurricanes, massive floods, extreme droughts, and wildfires are now a normal occurrence, destroying homes and businesses, and shrinking our economy.”

If elected, he said his first executive action will be to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement that President Donald Trump withdrew the country from in 2017. Over the next decade, Castro is calling for significantly reducing carbon emissions by transitioning off of fossil fuels to clean energy.

So, not much different than all the other Democrat contenders traveling all over the nation in fossil fueled vehicles and on fossil fueled airplanes.

During his first 100 days in office, Castro said he would propose legislation to address and dismantle structures of environmental racism, a type of discrimination where communities of color and low-income communities are forced to live in close proximity to environmentally hazardous or degraded environments, such as hazardous waste sites or pollution. To that end, Castro said he’d propose new civil rights bills like requiring all federal actions be reviewed for environmental and health impacts on low-income and marginalized communities.

So, it’s really more about the SJW stuff. Surprise!

But his plan carries a significant price tag, directing $10 trillion over the next decade to “create ten million good paying jobs, transition away from fossil fuels, build a 100% clean-energy economy and establish a National Climate Council.” Castro said the money would come from federal, state, local and private investments.

Like all the rest, how much of this is just patronizing the unhinged climate cultist base?
