Climate Ghouls Seem Pretty Upset That Warmer Weather Isn’t Causing More Deaths

By William Teach August 27, 2018 – 6:48 pm

It doesn’t help their narrative when people are not dying in droves, and they seem pretty bummed out that people are not keeling over in droves

So far, more heat waves do not mean more heat deaths

More Americans die from the effects of heat than of any other form of severe weather, and this summer has seen one heat wave after another. Some places in the U.S. and elsewhere have recorded their highest temperatures ever. In fact, the average temperature around the planet over the past four years has been the highest ever recorded, and nine of the 10 hottest years were all in this century. (The other was 1998.)

All of this would suggest that more people must be experiencing heat-related illness or death. But it’s more complicated than that.

In the U.S., in fact, heat-related illness appears to be declining.

A team of researchers led by Francesca Dominici, a professor of biostatistics at Harvard University, studied heat-related deaths in 105 U.S. cities from 1987 to 2005. They found that the risk of death from heat declined significantly even at very high temperatures.

“The population has become more resilient to heat over time,” the authors concluded.

Wait, people adapt? How is that possible?

Anyway, doom may not be here now, but it’s coming!

A particularly warm year doesn’t always bring severe heat waves with it. But climate scientists say that over time, a higher average global temperature means that we’ll see more — and more extreme — heat waves.

In fact, climate scientists have now stated that at least some heat waves from the past several years were likely or very likely the result of climate change.

As the climate continues to warm, scientists warn that the incidence of heat-related illness will rise. A new study projects a big increase in the number of emergency room visits for heat-related illness. Based on two scenarios (moderate warming vs. severe warming), there will be 21,000 to 28,000 more visits every summer by 2050. That increase is not related to a higher population; it’s strictly the result of more intense heat waves.

It’s always some sort of scary prognostication of doom with these people.

Eating Now Needs To Be A Political And Spiritual Act Due To ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach August 27, 2018 – 10:30 am

There’s nothing that these nutadoodles in the Cult of Climastrology, and the wider Progressive movement, won’t attempt to politicize and ruin

Eating as a political, social, spiritual act: The World Peace Diet

We must believe that we are capable of creating “a place of love and mutual assistance and understanding.” This is how visionary Tim Berners-Lee described the utopianist John Perry Barlow at the time of his death, adding: “I don’t think he was naïve.”

Our current climate change crisis calls for this type of bold, inspiring and transformative action. The book Drawdown, The Most Comprehensive Plan to Reverse Global Warming, put out by Project Drawdown, explains, maps, measures and models solutions that are already in place.

“Drawing down” occurs when we succeed in reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere on a year-to-year basis. This is not a daydream. We are currently achieving this on a small scale. If we scale up these efforts we can reverse global warming. (snip)

Eight of the top 25 actions to achieve this reversal involve food. Each one of us can rethink the food we are producing, eating and wasting. And we can call for more government and industry action to support sustainable food systems.

The World Peace Diet offers one way. This diet encourages mindful eating. Advocates say that many animal-based eaters become so largely because of cultural, social and familial pressures. They argue that it is not necessary to carry on these unexamined and outmoded traditions.

The only thing missing is how they expect this to happen. People won’t do it voluntarily. It would require force of government.

When it comes to food choices, we are encouraged not to examine exploitative relationships with animals or other people. Humans have become ‘rationalizing, ready to disregard science, morals and our well-being, so we can slaughter and consume animals.

These same people are also the ones who support abortion on demand with zero restrictions.

We can choose a non-violent lifestyle. We could choose not to take a life to eat. We could eat an array of nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits and vegetables to meet our nutritional requirements without giving up on taste or satisfaction.

We can ignore tens of millions of years of human evolution, all to “solve” a fake issue.

Iran Goes To International Court Of Justice Claiming U.S. Is Violating Treaty

By William Teach August 27, 2018 – 8:33 am

This takes a big pair of jihadi cajones to make this claim, and they dug seriously deep to find their reasoning

(The Hill) Iran on Monday asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to compel the U.S. to lift recently imposed sanctions, arguing the penalties violate an obscure treaty between the two countries.

Reuters reported that Iranian lawyers argued to judges with the United Nations-affiliated court that the U.S. is “plainly in violation of the 1955 Treaty of Amity,” which was agreed upon as part of an effort to emphasize “friendly relations” and “mutually beneficial trade and investments” between the two nations.

“The U.S. is publicly propagating a policy intended to damage as severely as possible Iran’s economy and Iranian national companies, and therefore inevitably Iranian nationals,” Mohsen Mohebi, an attorney representing Iran, told the court.

Reuters reported that the U.S. is scheduled to respond on Tuesday, though the State Department argued in an written statement that Iran’s complaint falls outside the bounds of the treaty and outside of the ICJ’s jurisdiction.

A ruling is expected within a month, Reuters reported.

When the leaders of Iran are leading the chants of “death to America”, I’m not sure the Treaty of Amity applies anymore

TREATY OF AMITY, ECONOMIC RELATIONS, AND CONSULAR
RIGHTS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA AND IRAN

The United States of America and Iran, desirous of emphasizing
the friendly relations which have long prevailed between their
peoples, of reaffirming the high principles in the regulation of
human affairs to which they are committed, of encouraging
mutually beneficial trade and investments and closer economic
intercourse generally between their peoples, and of regulating
consular relations, have resolved to conclude, on the basis of
reciprocal equality of treatment, a Treaty of Amity, Economic
Relations, and Consular Rights, and have appointed as their
Plenipotentiaries: (snip)

Article I

There shall be firm and enduring peace and sincere friendship
between the United States of America and Iran.

I think this rather ended in 1979 when the Shah was deposed, the radical Islamists took over the country, invaded our embassy, and then took our citizens hostage.

Scorching Take: CNN Notes Struggles Terrorist Family Had Living Off The Grid

By William Teach August 27, 2018 – 8:18 am

This is….bad. Really, really bad

Never go Full CNN. The in article headline isn’t any better, and CNN actually did a video segment on this

In New Mexico, where life off the grid is common, compound suspects struggled

The compound was hiding in plain sight, a white smudge in the dusty green expanse of sagebrush and juniper stretching across the Colorado-New Mexico border.

A few feet past a handwritten “no trespassing” sign on the ground, a box truck sat unlocked. Inside, a wooden bunk bed was propped up against the wall, surrounded by piles of dirty clothing and worn-out books. Identity documents were mixed on the floor with children’s math workbooks, self-help guides and gun manuals. A dusty bulletproof vest lay nearby.

It had been two weeks since law enforcement raided lot 78 in Costilla Meadows, a rural subdivision in Amalia, New Mexico, where homes are off the grid and you can see your nearest neighbor miles over the dry grassland. Police found 11 malnourished children there, shoeless and in tattered clothes, and arrested five adults. Days later, they found the remains of the 3-year-old boy they were searching for. (snip)

Individuals from society’s periphery have long sought refuge in this part of the state, where cheap land far from the nearest power line or shopping center is easy to find. The region’s history of welcoming outsiders has contributed to cross-cultural exchanges and a tolerant attitude that locals consider points of pride. Many are quick to distance the state’s countercultural vibe from the compound and its inhabitants, who are accused of training the children to commit mass shootings. But they also fear that the publicity around a case infused with allegations of terrorism, child abuse and faith healing might contribute to a rise in racism and Islamophobia.

It’s a long, long, long piece, which seems to gloss over the child abuse, training kids to be terrorists, etc. Sure, they’re mentioned. Barely. Let Mo break it down, since I saw it first from her tweet

And CNN wonders why they’re called fake news. Perhaps idiot news would be more correct.

John McCain Dead At Age 81, CNN Provides Possibly The Dumbest Headline

By William Teach August 26, 2018 – 8:39 am

Love him or hate him, John McCain had a tremendous impact on U.S. politics. It wasn’t long after McCain announced that he would no longer be taking treatment for his brain cancer that he passed on. And there are some serious hot-takes. Here’s CNN running with one my anti-favorites

Trump breaks silence on McCain, tweeting his ‘deepest sympathies and respect’

President Donald Trump broke his closely watched silence on Sen. John McCain, tweeting his “deepest sympathies and respect” to the family of the senator after his death was announced on Saturday night.

“My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!” Trump tweeted.

Prior to his tweet, Trump had not publicly acknowledged the rapidly declining health of McCain after his family announced Friday he would be discontinuing treatment for his brain cancer.

In an email, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders forwarded the President’s tweet to reporters. First lady Melania Trump also tweeted, “Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to the McCain Family. Thank you Senator McCain for your service to the nation.”

This whole “breaking silence” thing is absurd. Like people have to tell the media everything, otherwise, they’re being “silent”. Maybe they just didn’t have something to say to media ghouls?

There are also many, many bad takes, such as

Mama always said if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything at all.

We’re Saved: Non-Sciency Students Take Long Fossil Fueled Trip To Study ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach August 25, 2018 – 3:22 pm

This is a perfect example of why I and so many skeptics maintain that what the Cult of Climastrology is pushing is a bunch of hoo hah: they’re a bunch of hypocrites

UIC Students Set Sail in the Arctic to Study Climate Change

Six students from the University of Illinois at Chicago are starting the fall semester a little early – and a couple thousand miles from campus. They’ve traded their classroom chairs for seats on board a research vessel as part of the Northwest Passage Project.

Working closely with scholars, scientists, historians, journalists and students from a handful of other universities, the UIC group will spend three weeks assisting in the collection of scientific and sociological information as they sail across the Northwest Passage, a northern waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

The students – five undergraduates and one graduate student who are all enrolled in the school’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences – have a range of majors, from biology and psychology to rehabilitation sciences and communication. In other words, being a future scientist was not a requirement for participation.

In other words, this is about politics, not science. These students are first taking fossil fueled vehicles to the airport, then a fossil fueled flight, then some sort of fossil fueled vehicles from the airport to the ship, then traveling on a fossil fueled trip.

“The aim of the participation of the undergrad student is not for them to become scientists. It’s for them to become informed citizens,” said Miquel Gonzalez-Meler, a professor of biological sciences at UIC who is involved with the project. “When they’re hopefully the new generation of doctors and psychologists and health professionals and social professionals and so forth, they will have the experience with them that probably can empower them to talk about these issues.”

This isn’t science. They could be “informed” without all the climahypocrisy.

The expedition will make several stops along the way so students can visit native Inuit villages and also study the lives of area residents.

Don’t even get me started on them treating these Inuit like simple study subjects. Rather bigoted of them.
