There’s A Climate (scam) Dark Side Behind Your Thanksgiving Or Something

By William Teach November 22, 2017 – 7:52 am

Yet another in a long line of unhinged, shrieking, annoying, deranged bat-guano insane articles on Thanksgiving. Which will be recycled for Christmas, you know

Behind the delicious foods, Thanksgiving has a dark side

The shame of chowing down enough turkey to feed an entire village of Pilgrims isn’t the only reason to feel guilty this Thanksgiving. The environmental impact of a turkey feast for eight is approximately 44 pounds of carbon dioxide, a gas that contributes significantly to global warming. At the root cause of all this damage are a few of the staples that make up our dinner table this Thursday.

1. Gobble gobbling up the Earth’s atmosphere

About 60 percent of the Thanksgiving carbon footprint comes from the life cycle of the turkey alone. Though red meat like beef generates the greatest amount of greenhouse gases, farm-raised poultry like turkey is still considered to be “high impact.”

If you couldn’t care less about climate change (or remain one of those that deny its existence), something to take into consideration is the tremendous amount of waste involved in making a turkey dinner. It’ll takes at least 915,200 barrels of oil to produce and ship all the turkeys Americans eat, according to the Center for Food Safety.

So if you’re feeling a bit guilty this Thursday, pardon the turkey, make less of it and try composting your table scraps.

Notice that Climahysteric Kirthi Dronamraju doesn’t recommend “don’t have turkey if you believe in anthropogenic climate change.” As typical, Warmists are advised to just make a token amend afterwards.

Kirthi also tells us about all the evil carbon pollution from planes, trains, and automobiles for the trips taken. No recommendation for Warmists to just stay home.

Your “beige foods”, meaning all the sides, are bad, as well, because of all the road miles. But, hey, you can go to your local fancy, expensive, local farmer’s market and get the veggies there. Though, according to Kirthi, you’ll pay a whole lot more. I guess that’s something in Liberal World areas. The farmer’s market’s down here are not expensive.

And then we’re on to food waste. Well, yes, this is a real issue. Recycling and composting are nice, but, good luck composting in a Leftist run city, which often have laws against doing this within city limits, because it can be dirty and smelly. Environmentally, limiting food waste is a good idea. It’s also good for your pocketbook

While you’re composting your biodegradable scraps instead of sending them away to landfills, consider going completely paperless at the table. Stick with reusable forks, knives, spoons, plates and glasses, as well as cloth napkins (not paper ones) and tablecloths. And rather than throwing away meals, freeze or recycle them for delicious leftovers.

It’s so tedious that Warmists hijack real environmental issues for their own unhinged purposes. It’s also tedious that they have to ruin everything, especially holidays, with their climate scam rants.

NPR: Thanksgiving Is A Great Time To Talk About End-Of-Life Care

By William Teach November 22, 2017 – 7:32 am

It’s the ideal time to have these conversations or something. Let’s first define this, since the article sorta dinks and dunks around what “end of life care” means. The National Institute On Aging writes “End-of-life care is the term used to describe the support and medical care given during the time surrounding death.” This could go on for days, weeks, or even months

This Thanksgiving, Carve Out Time To Talk About End-Of-Life Wishes

The roast turkey and pecan pie may be the same as always, but growing numbers of families plan to add a tradition to their Thanksgiving holiday this week: a frank talk about their wishes for end-of-life care.

Paul Malley, president of Aging with Dignity, the agency behind Five Wishes, a popular living will template, says requests for the documents that guide decisions surrounding serious illness and death typically surge starting now.

“We see a bit of a Thanksgiving rush and a bit of a Christmas rush in December,” says Malley, who notes that 30 million copies of Five Wishes have been distributed since 1998.

Now, turkey dinner with a side dish of death isn’t everyone’s idea of a festive meal. But end-of-life planning advocates say the holidays are an ideal time to have these conversations.

No. Just stop. These people. Good grief.

While it’s an important topic, it’s not really the thing you discuss on Thanksgiving, especially between dinner and desert, just because the family is all gathered together.

Goodman says sees a shift in the culture surrounding end-of-life wishes, even in the five years since The Conversation Project started.

Back then, the specter of “death panels” nearly derailed Obamacare. Today, end-of-life conversations are being paid for by Medicare and books like Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal have topped the best-seller list.

In other words, we need the Helpful Hand Of Government to enable these conversations. Sigh.

Meanwhile

It’s Your Civic Duty to Ruin Thanksgiving by Bringing Up Trump

It’s late-November 2017, and you know what that means: Every man you’ve ever seen on TV for any reason has just been unmasked as a woman-hating sewer ghoul. Also, it’s time to ruin your Trump-supporting family’s Thanksgiving—for America!

These frickin’ people.

Kiribati, Soon To Be Demolished By Hotcoldwetdry, Finds The Solution

By William Teach November 21, 2017 – 5:06 pm

For a long, long time now, we’ve heard that island nations will soon disappear from anthropogenic climate change caused sea rise, primarily from the use of fossil fuels. Kiribati has been not only one of the most vocal, but has been held up constantly as what doom looks like, much like with polar bears. What’s their solution? (via Watts Up With That?)

As climate change threatens islands, Kiribati’s president plans development

The low-lying Pacific island nation of Kiribati is one of the parts of the world most threatened by climate change and rising sea levels. Scientists say the islands could be uninhabitable within decades, and in recent years, some leaders there have begun planning for a worst-case scenario that could involve relocating the population to other countries.

However, in a video presentation to the international climate conference in Bonn, Germany, last week, the president of Kiribati appeared to be turning away from such a plan.

“Climate change is indeed a serious problem,” President H.E Taneti Maamau said in the video.”But we don’t believe that Kiribati will sink like the Titanic ship. Our country, our beautiful lands, are created by the hands of God.”

I guess the climate (scam) cash from Europe and Canada is not showing up fast enough

Later in the video, far from discussing abandoning the islands, a narrator instead proclaims the goal of promoting tourism by attracting foreign investors to develop “5-star eco-friendly resorts that would promote world-class diving, fishing and surfing experiences” on currently uninhabited islands. (snip)

Government officials say they are working on a plan to raise the level of a large area of currently uninhabitable land to make it habitable.

In other words, they are going to use vast amounts of fossil fuels for construction in order to entice people to take lots of fossil fueled flights for vacations.

Media Seems Rather Shocked That A Temporary Program Would Be Deemed Temporary

By William Teach November 21, 2017 – 11:00 am

Many outlets are running pieces which seemed surprised, even shocked that the Trump administration would finally end a program which is explained in the name

U.S. to end temporary residence for nearly 60,000 Haitians

The Trump administration has given nearly 60,000 Haitians with provisional legal residency in this country 18 months to leave, announcing Monday that it will not renew the Temporary Protected Status that has allowed them to remain here for more than seven years.

The decision came after the Department of Homeland Security determined that the “extraordinary conditions” justifying their presence in the United States following a 2010 earthquake “no longer exist,” according to a senior administration official.

“Since the 2010 earthquake, the number of displaced people in Haiti has decreased by 97 percent,” acting homeland security secretary Elaine Duke said in a statement. “Significant steps have been taken to improve the stability and quality of life for Haitian citizens, and Haiti is able to safely receive traditional levels of returned citizens.”

It’s all in the name: Temporary Protected Status. They’ve been given 18 months to get their affairs in order and head back home.

But the Trump administration has repeatedly noted that the program was meant to be temporary, not a way for people to become long-term legal residents of the United States. Administration officials have said that decisions on further extensions would be made on the basis of whether initial justifications for protection still exist.

That’s the point of temporary. This applies to many other groups, such as Nicaraguans, Hondurans, Salvadorans, and others.

“It appears ideology won over a practical application of the law,” said Kevin Appleby, senior director of the New York-based Center for Migration Studies.

Rocio Saenz, executive vice president of the Service Employees International Union, which claims thousands of members living here under TPS, called the decision “heartbreaking, and harmful in every way.”

Remember, these same people go apoplectic when the U.S. gets involved militarily around the world to protect people. I guess they only care when we bring in vast loads of people who do not speak our language, do not share our culture or values, have little in the way of 1st world skills, and will essentially be wards of the state.

Say, Could Turkey Poop Help Stop ‘Climate Change’?

By William Teach November 21, 2017 – 10:10 am

This is obviously time for Thanksgiving

Could turkey poop help stop climate change? An Israeli research team thinks so.

None of us want to think too hard about the turkeys we are about to eat on Thanksgiving. We especially don’t need to think about the excrement they produce.

But what if that excrement could help halt climate change?

According to researchers at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University, turkey excrement — along with waste produced by other poultry, like chicken — could partially replace coal as a renewable energy resource and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

“Treated excrement from turkeys, chickens and other poultry, when converted to combustible solid biomass fuel, could replace approximately 10 percent of coal used in electricity generation, reducing greenhouse gases and providing an alternative energy source,” the university said Monday in a news release.

Well, it’s good that they’re talking about poop, since that’s what this whole thing is: a bunch of mule fritters propagated by pull who are so full of it that their shoes are swimming in brown stuff and we need hip waders to get past them.

As a bonus, we have this

Yes, it’s as stupid as you think. Apparently, because one woman, Brigid Shulte, married a jerk, well, every married man is now a 1950’s sexist.

BTW, why is that everyone needs to tell everyone in the world their Victimhood story?

TDS: Trump And Charles Manson Use Same Language Or Something

By William Teach November 21, 2017 – 7:02 am

Remember the days when Newsweek was a respected weekly magazine featuring excellent news and interesting material? Well, there’s a reason that it sold for $1 with clickbait insanity like this (via Twitchy)

From the deranged article

According to psychoanalyst Mark Smaller, past president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, part of Manson’s power lay in the type of language he used. Notably, Manson was able to speak in a way that engaged those who felt marginalized or alienated.

“A charismatic leader knows how to speak to people in a way that will emotionally engage those people,” Smaller told Newsweek.

Smaller is clear that he does not believe President Donald Trump is similar to the convicted killer, or that their followers have any shared beliefs or characteristics, but he did say we can look to the current president to see how language is used to form a bond with followers.

“Our current president speaks in an emotional or affective way to large numbers of people in our country who feel a kind of alienation or disconnection from the government,” he said. “They feel very responded to and become his political base.”

It’s like the few writers left at Newsweek got together after Manson finally died (should have been executed decades ago) and said “say, how can we make this about Trump?” and Melissa Matthews went “I’ve got it!”

Of course, how many people actually read Newsweek? Not a lot.

Is Trump Actually Planning To Pull Out Of The Paris Climate (scam) Agreement?

By William Teach November 20, 2017 – 4:07 pm

Food for thought, which should probably make Warmists happy

It Looks Like The U.S. May Never Leave The Paris Climate Accord

Donald Trump may have vowed to take the United States out of the Paris climate accord, but you wouldn’t have known it based on the words of the negotiators he sent to the summit in Bonn to hammer out the rules of the agreement.

climate change joke

“The United States intends to remain engaged with our many partners and allies around the world on these issues, here in the U.N. Framework Convention and everywhere else,” Judith Garber, the U.S. acting assistant secretary of state for international environmental and scientific affairs told the other delegates on Thursday. She then listed off a litany of actions America is taking to fight climate change.

“President Trump has made clear the U.S. position with respect to the Paris Agreement,” she added. “Although he indicated that the United States intends to withdraw at the earliest opportunity, we remain open to the possibility of rejoining at a later date under terms more favorable to the American people.”

By the end of the summit, many were beginning to suspect that this will not be a question of re-joining. The U.S. may never leave in the first place.

When Donald Trump announced his decision in June, observers noted that out of several options to take the U.S. out of the accord, he chose the one that would take the longest. He could have declared Barack Obama’s decision to not put the agreement to the U.S. Congress (by not deeming it a “treaty”) to have been invalid. The Congress could have then rejected the agreement, taking the US out right away.

Instead, the Trump administration chose to go through the official process of withdrawal, which takes more than three years. The ‘earliest opportunity’ referred to by Garber just happens to be the day after the next U.S. presidential election in 2020. In the mean time, the US will continue sending delegates to take their seat at the table, “in order to ensure a level playing field that benefits and protects U.S. interests,” according to a State Department official.

He makes a good point: will this ever happen? Is there any intention to make leaving happen? Or, was this just a campaign promise that, like so many others from politicians, never comes to fruition? Might I have to photoshop Trump’s face into the clown photo above like I’ve done for others?
