Governor Moonbeam: 3 Billion Will Die From ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach April 21, 2018 – 3:24 pm

Remember, guys, this is all Serious Science. Trust us. We know what we’re doing. Our Science is sound. They’re totally Serious. Things Are Bad. We’re ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!

(CNS News) California Gov. Jerry Brown predicted that if carbon emissions aren’t reduced, billions of people will die from “heat events,” and one billion will be subjected to vector diseases.

“When you pick up the paper or turn on cable news, you’d think it’s another planet. It’s all about the nonsense of Washington, and carbon emissions are growing, and we’ve got to radically turn that around, or the migrations you’re seeing now are going to be child’s play,” Brown told reporters Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

“We’re going to have widespread disruption, more conflicts, more terrorism, more insecurity because of climate disruption. The prospect is 3 billion people on this planet will be subject to fatal lethal heat events – 3 billion – and 1 billion will be subjected to vector diseases that they’re not now subject to now,” he said. “This is a horror.”

But, this can all be fixed with a tax

When asked what states can reasonably do about climate change, Brown said, “California has adopted an extension of this cap and trade program, which will give us 20 percent of our greenhouse gas reduction. That’s a very important measure that would have gone out of existence in 2020, and that measure was voted by Republicans. It wouldn’t have passed without Republican support.”

Don’t forget, California has 8 of the 10 dirtiest air cities in the country.

Bummer: Americans Are All Talk, Little Action On ‘Climate Change’ (scam)

By William Teach April 21, 2018 – 10:30 am

Really, this applies to the majority of Warmists throughout the 1st World

AMERICANS ON CLIMATE CHANGE: ALL TALK, LITTLE ACTION

Tim Whitley gets it; he really does. The founder of the environmental nonprofit Carbon Offsets to Alleviate Poverty (COTAP) is wary of coming off too preachy when it comes to reducing people’s carbon footprints. Whitley admits that even he is delaying putting solar panels on his roof until a home remodel, and, hell, if he had the means, he’d fly in private jets — if only to avoid the customs line at Kennedy airport. “Life is hard enough as it is [before] you think about climate change,” he says. “A lot of the actions that one would take are hard to do.”

And most people aren’t doing the hard stuff. In a new, exclusive nationwide survey conducted by OZY with SurveyMonkey ahead of Earth Day, 80 percent of Americans say climate change is at least a somewhat serious problem — with 34 percent saying it’s extremely serious. But concern doesn’t always translate into action. About three-quarters of Americans said they recycle, turn off the lights when they leave the room and use energy-efficient appliances. But popularity plummets when remedies get less convenient. When asked if they had done any of the following to help the environment, 23 percent compost, 17 percent had fewer or no children, 15 percent use public transit and 8 percent are vegetarian.

Hey, I recycle, because it’s good for the environment. I turn off the lights when I’m going to be out of the room for a bit, I have lots of CFL and LED bulbs, and I look for money saving appliances. I certainly do not take long fossil fueled trips to conferences to discuss how bad fossil fuels are.

Interestingly, the poll did not include anything about giving up one’s own use of fossil fuels.

Digging deeper into the numbers, you find a clear partisan split. Not only are Democrats and those who lean Democratic more likely than Republicans and their leaners to say climate change is primarily caused by humans (81 percent to 29 percent) and is an extremely serious problem (58 percent to 11 percent), but they’re also more likely to act. The partisan split goes down the line for everything from recycling (85 percent to 69 percent) to vegetarianism (11 percent to 4 percent).

Yet, Dems, who Believe in ‘climate change’, because it’s a convenient method to push their Big Government policies, still have huge carbon footprints. And I seriously doubt that 85% recycle.

Tough action gets even less popular when it’s a mandate. While 39 percent of all respondents said the government should tax carbon emissions from businesses, just 12 percent wanted fines for not recycling, 3 percent wanted government limits on family size and a mere 2 percent wanted government limits on personal car use. Has America’s love of the automobile really eclipsed even the love of its children? “Perhaps respondents would be willing to limit their own car use but don’t want the government involved in regulating it,” says Erin Pinkus, a research scientist at SurveyMonkey, who helped conduct the poll. Or perhaps driving is a necessity, she adds, given the lack of convenient public transportation in most parts of the country.

Missing is a response on government requiring Warmists to pay a carbon tax.

Anyhow, there’s more at the link, but, let’s consider, this is just a poll asking what they do and believe, but, in no way does this actually say what Warmists actually do. Which does tend to be little to worse than everyone else.

Students Walked Out Of Class For Gun Grabbing, Learned All About Democracy Or Something

By William Teach April 21, 2018 – 7:28 am

You can find stories from all over the country on the planned student walkout on Friday, which called for….restrictions on the Constitutional Rights of law abiding citizens, an amendment which was partially meant to protect the other Constitutional Rights as written in the other Amendments. Here’s an interesting article from San Antonio

(MySA) For half an hour, at least 100 students at Churchill High School were out of school Friday morning, gathered on the sidewalk along Blanco Road to protest school shootings and call for gun control legislation.

They were supervised by North East Independent School District police and their principal, who walked among them with a timer on his phone, encouraging them to return to class. The students held up signs and at one point chanted, “No more guns.” They cheered as passing cars honked horns in encouragement.

And right there is the overall purpose: banning all guns from private ownership. Leave it to the kids to unintentionally expose the true gun grabber agenda.

Alansa and Arela Delgado, twin sisters and Churchill sophomores, said they were discouraged by the attempts of Principal Justin Oxley to usher the students back inside.

“We are learning out here what democracy is,” Alansa Delgado said. “I’m learning more here than I am in English right now.”

Well, our democracy (federal republic) does not run along the lines of mob rule, where people who have a beef can gnash their teeth and take away Constitutional rights. And if that’s their quote on English, then, yeah, they haven’t learned a whole lot. And it doesn’t say much for the state of our educational system.

Furthermore, you don’t have the 1st, for instance, without the 2nd.

Anyway, what did the Special Snowflakes, with all their worldly experience, want? The majority of articles that give their demands show

(Nashville Public Radio)Student demands — more measured and specific — continued from a makeshift stage on the steps of city hall. They are:

  • background checks on every gun sale
  • waiting periods on gun purchases
  • a ban on bump stocks
  • a safe storage law for gun-owners
  • the removal of firearms from domestic abusers

“These are our demands. We believe they are reasonable, and we expect to see steps taken to carry them out,” said MLK student organizer Olivia Connor.

Here’s the thing: none of these are, by themselves, problematic, excepting the safe storage law, because that would, right from the bat, make guns for home protection worthless. But, the other 4? Well, we already have waiting periods. What more do they want? Ban bump stocks? OK. A tiny, tiny percent of gun sales are made without a background check, but, OK, fine, all. I have no problem with that. Temporary removal and/or denial of purchase ability for those under a domestic abuse order? With a judge’s consent.

The big problem is we know these are just starting points. Not end points. What should be common sense laws can’t get passed because we know the gun grabbers will then demand more, as well as use the laws to deny law abiding citizens their Constitutional right wherever and however they can. The kids said it: “no more guns.” That’s the agenda.

Big Win? North Korea Announces End To Nuclear And Missile Tests Ahead Of Summit

By William Teach April 21, 2018 – 7:00 am

Peace through strength? All the elitist pundits stated we would be looking at nuclear war if Trump continued to argue and bloviate at North Korea and lead Kim Jong-un (and it was pretty interesting watching Kim respond on Twitter). Now

(UK Guardian) North Korea has said it will end its tests of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles, and shut down its nuclear test site, in a dramatic development ahead of a much-anticipated meeting between its leader, Kim Jong-un, and Donald Trump.

The suspensions went into immediate effect on Saturday, according to state-run KCNA news agency.

The US president greeted the news in a tweet: “This is very good news for North Korea and the World – big progress!”

The news comes less than a week before Kim meets the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, for a summit in the demilitarised zone that divides the peninsula.

South Korea’s presidential office welcomed the announcement as “meaningful progress” towards denuclearisation. “It will create a very positive environment for the success of the upcoming inter-Korean and North-US summits,” said.

The move goes some way towards meeting US demands for denuclearisation, as Pyongyang and Washington work towards agreement on when and where Kim will meet Trump for historic talks that barely seemed possible just a few months ago.

Kim was taking credit, and declaring some victory himself, proclaiming that NK should now focus on its economy (doesn’t it have to have one first?) But, remember

Some analysts greeted the North’s move with caution, noting that the regime had reneged on previous nuclear deals and that Saturday’s announcement did not mention shorter-range ballistic missiles capable of striking Japan and South Korea.

Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, cautiously welcomed North Korea’s pledge. “We welcome it as a forward-looking move … but an important thing is whether the move will lead to the complete abandonment of missile and nuclear developments in a verifiable and irreversible manner,” Abe said. “We want to watch it closely.”

So, the question will remain, is this real, or Kim playing games, as North Korean leaders have done for generations? What will Kim demand in exchange at the summit?

The North’s quest to develop a deterrent against what it has long described as US hostility resulted in an extraordinary exchange of insults between Kim and Trump last September, and frequent warnings from Washington that it would not rule out military action to end Kim’s nuclear ambitions.

Saturday’s announcement came the day after a hotline between Kim and the South Korean president went live. It connects Moon’s desk at the presidential Blue House with North Korea’s state affairs commission, which is headed by Kim, Yonhap news agency said.

One has to wonder if South Korean president Moon Jae-in and Trump played good cop-bad cop. What this whole does definitely go to show is that Trump isn’t just winging it, as Democrats and Trump haters like to think. There’s a plan. Consider how Pompeo made a secret trip to talk to Kim.

So, when does Trump get his Nobel Peace Prize?

Sore Losers: DNC Files Lawsuit Against Russia, Wikileaks, Trump For 2016 Election Loss

By William Teach April 20, 2018 – 4:35 pm

This is the Sore Loser Party being the embodiment of sore losers. They should just stand up and accept that they ran a bad candidate who wasn’t capable of running a campaign to beat Donald Trump, a guy who had never actually run a successful political campaign

Democratic Party files lawsuit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 campaign

The Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit Friday against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the WikiLeaks organization alleging a far-reaching conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 campaign and tilt the election to Donald Trump.

The complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan, alleges that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and help Trump by hacking the computer networks of the Democratic Party and disseminating stolen material found there.

“During the 2016 presidential campaign, Russia launched an all-out assault on our democracy, and it found a willing and active partner in Donald Trump’s campaign,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement.

Because, you know, Hillary was Entitled to the presidency. Maybe she could have campaigned in states she needed to win. Not passed out on 9/11. You know the whole story.

The case asserts that the Russian hacking campaign — combined with Trump associates’ contacts with Russia and the campaign’s public cheerleading of the hacks — amounted to an illegal conspiracy to interfere in the election that caused serious damage to the Democratic Party. (snip)

The suit filed Friday seeks millions of dollars in compensation to offset damage it claims the party suffered from the hacks. The DNC argues that the cyberattack undermined its ability to communicate with voters, collect donations and operate effectively as its employees faced personal harassment and, in some cases, death threats.

The suit also seeks an acknowledgment from the defendants that they conspired to infiltrate the Democrats’ computers, steal information and disseminate it to influence the election.

Um, are these the “hacks” due to idiots not understanding how phishing works? The ones they didn’t want the FBI to investigate? Have they considered that, if this suit actually goes forward, the DNC and people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz will have to answer questions about why they wanted no outside involvement. And so much more. But, consider

Perhaps they know their talking points are going nowhere fast, so, they have to try some other desparation play.

‘Climate Change’ Is Causing Heavy Snow Or Something

By William Teach April 20, 2018 – 10:12 am

 

Is there anything that disproves the Warmist assertion that a tiny increase in atmospheric CO2 causes Bad Weather? And impacts everything?

How climate change is causing heavy snowfall

Picture this: A snowstorm moves in and temperatures are just cold enough for all snow.

What happens to that same storm if you add extra moisture and slow the storm down?

You guessed it. It dumps even heavier snowfall.

The climate connection to Minnesota’s April blizzard is where we start Climate Cast. Here’s the rundown of the show:

Wetter climate, bigger snow events. Dominic Winski, a Dartmouth College researcher who has studied snowfall patterns, explains this connection.

It’s always some excuse with this cult. Hotcoldwetdry.

However, for the sake of argument, let’s say that that warning causes this (despite Warmists having told us that snow will end due to AGW): where’s the proof that this is all anthopogenic?

Illinois Town Flips The Script, Declares Itself Sanctuary For Law Abiding Gun Owners

By William Teach April 20, 2018 – 7:19 am

While the rest of Illinois seems to be going the “lets put massive restrictions on law abiding citizens while ignoring all the criminals” route, including Deerfield, which banned all “assault rifles” from the city (good luck with the lawsuit, guys), this county is doing something different

(USA Today) An Illinois county’s board voted to make itself a sanctuary for gun owners and to not enforce laws that “unconstitutionally restrict the Second Amendment.”

The Effingham County Board approved the resolution 8-1 on Monday. Board members said they felt it was necessary to “take a stand” against gun control efforts in the Illinois legislature.

Effingham County State’s Attorney Bryan Kibler told Fox News that they decided to “flip the script” and “make this a sanctuary county like they would for undocumented immigrants.”

Kibler admitted the action is largely symbolic and Sheriff Dave Mahon told the Effingham Daily News that the board’s decision would not dictate how his office enforces the law.

Of course, the comparison to sanctuary jurisdictions is wrong, since they are protecting people who are unlawfully present in the U.S., while the county would protect law abiding citizens engaged in using their 2nd Amendment Rights. Regardless, this is about optics. And they aren’t the first one to do it. Iroquois County, Illinois, was the model for Effingham County’s resolution.

Will other counties and cities follow suit? Possibly. Most law abiding citizens would be fine with some legislation that could cause us slight inconvenience in order to make it much, much harder for criminals to obtain firearms, but we know these are just stepping stones for the gun grabbers to grab guns.

Uh Oh: Kids Have Been Playing “Border Agents And Migrants”

By William Teach April 20, 2018 – 6:55 am

Obviously, liberals want to shut down this expression of free speech, and are Horrified. Here’s Fatherly

Kids Are Playing ‘Border Agents and Migrants’ Instead of ‘Cops and Robbers

In Benicia, California, a game called La Migra (The Immigrants) has taken a school by storm, much to the horror of parents. The game is, in essence, Cops and Robbers. Older high school students assume the role of ICE or immigration services and chase around underclassmen who assume the role of immigrants. The underclassmen playing as immigrants get a 10-minute head start once someone shouts “La Migra!” and the upperclassmen then have to look for them all over town. The only way for the immigrants to “win” is to make it through a mock border wall on the opposite side of Benicia. For fairly obvious reason, this has residents worried.

ZOMG! Notice, this is not young kids playing the game, having switched out cops and robbers for border agents and illegal aliens. This is older kids who’ve created the game. They would not have been play the cops and robbers game at that age. But, wait for it

“That’s pretty offensive,” said Daniel Serna, a local parent told ABC 30 Action News. “How would the district react if they pretended they were Nazis going after Jews or KKK going after Blacks? I think they would look at it a little different,”

Leave it up to a leftist to crank that amplifier up to 11 and make a comparison that is beyond absurd. At the ABC 30 link it continues to get crazy, and the crazy started with the headline about the game having “racist overtones.” Only if Black and/or Asian kids are playing, because most Hispanics are Caucasian, but, then, you can’t expect race baiters in the media to understand the meaning of words, right? But, Fatherly did some research not done by ABC 30

It is important, however, to note that La Migra is not new. Writer Gustavo Arellano, explains in a piece about the controversy, that he played La Migra as a child living in the Bay Area over 30-years ago. And, despite the concerns of some parents, many local Latino youths don’t seem to take much issue with the game.

“I want to do it because it’s fun. I’m all for fun and thrill-seeking,” Benicia high school student Elijah Alvarado told ABC 30. “I don’t mind because I’m Hispanic.”

Oh. So, no big deal. A bunch of high schoolers having fun, while supposed adults have hissy fits because they don’t want government to enforce the law.
