NASA Report: Dying Forests Are Really Bad For Climate Change

By William Teach October 16, 2017 – 4:16 pm

What’s causing the forests to die? Apparently, the very trace gas they need for life

(UK Express) While most scientists say that global warming is a byproduct of human activity, particularly in the industrial age, new research has found trees, which are meant to be saving us from doom, are actually contributing to our downfall.

Trees are known to absorb CO2 and produce oxygen.

However, research from Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, has found little carbon dioxide is being absorbed by Earth’s biggest tropical forests which is causing them to die off.

As the trees in the forests die, they rot and release large amounts of CO2 contributing to global warming.

But as more trees die, more CO2 is produced, leading to the death of more trees in what is a slippery downward spiral for the planet.

Wait, wait, did they just say that CO2 is killing trees? Anyway

One of the main contributing factors to this has been an increase in the strength of El Nino – warm ocean temperatures – over the last few decades. (snip)

“Our analysis shows this extra carbon dioxide explains the difference in atmospheric carbon dioxide growth rates between 2011 and the peak years of 2015-16.

So, really, nature is doing this. Yet another nail in the coffin of Warmism/

Ran across the Trans Am one, had to post it. My first car was a 1979 TA with the 403 Oldsmobile engine, 6.6 liter, Hurst dual gate slapstick, had it painted dark blue. Loved that car.

Gun Control From A Racist Point Of View

By William Teach October 16, 2017 – 10:30 am

In Chicago, which has heavy restrictions on gun ownership for law abiding citizens, 8 were killed and 11 were wounded by gunshot. The majority, if not all, were Black. The majority of those involved in gun violence in Chicago are Black. It’s a sad state of affairs that this is occuring, but, then, this is what the Democratic Party has brought about with their policies. Which leads us to this screed by Michael Harriot at The Root, a rather divisive and racial superior website, which also pushes lots of grievances

5 Ways Black People Can Force Commonsense Gun Control

They wouldn’t do it after the Las Vegas massacre. They wouldn’t do it after Gabby Giffords was shot. They wouldn’t even do it after Sandy Hook. Maybe there is no one who can break the toxic romance that America has with guns …

I bet black people could.

You know we have to do all the hard shit. We picked all the cotton. We created every iota of American music, dance and culture. We made this country an economic superpower. We fight disproportionately in every war. A black man gave this country universal health care. We invented the modern air conditioner. If it wasn’t for black people, this country would still consist of poor, backward hillbillies ballroom-dancing to Appalachian bluegrass tunes and sweating their asses off while coughing up phlegm.

You’re welcome, white people.

Except, the air conditioner was invented by Willis Carrier, a white man. And we don’t actually have universal health care. But, hey, let’s not let some facts get in the way of reverse racism and playing of the race card.

Anyhow, Harriot has lots of ideas, like

1. Get lots of black people to buy guns.

I know it seems antithetical, but if black people started purchasing semi-automatic weapons legally and in large numbers, congressional Republicans would pass a gun-owner safety bill faster than white people’s fucking tempo.

This is the way racists think. The people who can only live by the race card think. One of Harriot’s other ideas is to make legal gun ownership for Blacks to be cool, thereby similarly making White’s think guns need big-time control. Same thing with “threatening animals.” All of us who support the 2nd Amendment would, in reality, be like “Great! Welcome to the club!”

We also get “Call gun ownership a form of resistance.” This would supposedly be linked to Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter. Guess what? All the White people who support gun rights still wouldn’t give a damn. And we get “Lie”

Perhaps we could pay Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly to join our cause. Those bastards would do anything for money. They could tell their followers there is a little-known clause in Obamacare that allows people to trade abortions for banana clips. Maybe we could fool those idiots into putting their guns down by playing on their racism and fear of black dicks. We could just mention that there was a recent study that shows gunpowder makes white women prefer black penis, or tell them that every time someone uses the gun-show loophole, a black penis grows an inch.

How is this kind of drivel any different from what scumbags like Richard Spencer push?

Michael “Robust Debate” Mann To Write Book Telling Kids To Throw Tantrums

By William Teach October 16, 2017 – 7:54 am

And he’s doing it in the most Cult of Climastrology manner

(Daily Caller) An Australian author and noted climate scientist are asking for donations to publish a children’s book that “explains climate change to kids and empowers them to act” and is also carbon neutral, according to their KickStarter page.

The children’s book, “The Tantrum That Saved The World,” encourages kids to become global warming activists.

Author Megan Herbert and scientist Michael Mann want to publish a children’s book that tells a “story about a little girl who comes face to face with an enormous challenge, feels all kinds of frustration as she tries to overcome it, and then channels those strong emotions into action, rallying all those around her to do the same,” the authors wrote on KickStarter.

In a promotional video, Herbert said that while parents should ordinarily discourage kids from throwing tantrums, “these are not ordinary times.”

“This is the one time we should encourage our kids to make a bit of noise,” Herbert said. “They didn’t create this mess, and they have every right to be upset about it.” She added that those emotions should be channeled into “positive actions.”

What are those positive actions? They do not say. You’ll have to get the book, but, we can pretty much guess that they are the same old Big Government, big fees/taxes, and so forth actions. Spreading awareness while demanding that Other People be forced to comply.

They say that they have the book done. But, they still need final editing and proofing, then scanning, then book design. Which is where Kickstarter comes in. If they do not get enough pledges with money to buy the book, they won’t do it. In other words, give them money for a product that is not ready. Perfect Cult of Climastrology.

That and the tantrums.

Deporting Illegal Aliens Is Persecution Or Something

By William Teach October 16, 2017 – 7:09 am

The Hill has give Cesar Vargas, the first illegal alien admitted to the NY bar, a platform to complain about people not giving illegal aliens a break. You know, people who are unlawfully present in the U.S. And, it’s exactly this kind of stupidity that makes people harden their positions against folks like the so-called Dreamers

We can’t be complicit in persecution of immigrant communities

Yesterday, my mom and I sat at the kitchen table to discuss the White House’s latest demands for an immigration deal.

The administration says it will refuse to protect “Dreamers,” undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children, unless it gets a southern border wall, 10,000 new immigration agents, tougher laws on asylum seekers as well as extended families of immigrants and a right to deny federal grants to sanctuary cities.

The bottom line, as far as we could tell, was that the administration is looking to broaden how it targets, arrests and deports immigrants. As she served brown rice and boiled eggs for breakfast, my mother said calmly, “Si los ayuda a ustedes, no me importa lo que me pase a mi.”

It means, “if it helps you, I don’t care what happens to me.”

It speaks to her self-sacrifice: My mother would rather jump into the cross-hairs of an aggressive deportation regime than do anything that might prevent my younger brother and I from becoming citizens.

Her “self sacrifice” was crossing the U.S.-Mexico border with Vargas and several siblings illegally.

What the White House is asking for is the chance to persecute some immigrants in exchange for pledging to protect others. That kind of deal would only fuel a dangerous narrative about the good immigrant versus the bad immigrant, pitting better-educated immigrants against other undocumented individuals — people like my 74-year-old mother, Central American children and day laborers.

Here’s an idea: if Cesar doesn’t like that were are willing to consider some sort of legal status for those illegally brought by their parents when they were kids, well, let’s deport them all! As one wrote in the comments at The Hill “I’m so tired of illegal aliens making demands, I demand they leave my country.” Rather than being humble and contrite, and asking “please”, illegal aliens like Vargas pull a schtick of demands and insults. Do you help people who do this to you? Or do you tell them to go away? These people are not “immigrants”: per federal law, they are illegal aliens, and the law requires that they receive a small fine and be deported.

Americans Are Willing To Pay $117 A Year To Stop ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach October 15, 2017 – 4:24 pm

The Cult of Climastrology members at Vox thing they’re on to something big! (the bold is Vox’s)

Designing a carbon tax requires answering two core policy questions. First, how much money should it raise? And second, how should the money be spent?

As to the first, the CLC proposal starts at $40 a ton and rises $5 a year. As to the second, the revenue goes to dividends, i.e., it is distributed back to citizens on a per-capita basis. (It’s a dividend of roughly $2,000 a year for a family of four, to begin with.) Policies like this are called “tax-and-dividend.”

Is that what the public wants?

It’s funny you should ask. The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication recently completed a large-scale survey of the public on this subject. The results were just published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

Researchers asked a representative sample of 1,226, American adults questions seeking to determine two things. First, how much are Americans willing to pay per year to fight climate change? And second, what would they prefer government do with the revenue?

It’s the answers to the second question I want to highlight, but let’s look at the first really quickly.

How much are Americans will to pay a year to fight climate change? $177.

That’s interesting, since most Warmists haven’t been willing to pay more than a token few dollars nor make more than token changes in their own lives to become more carbon neutral.

Of course, the problem here is that any sort Doing Something will not be $177 a year, or, as the Journal puts it, “We find an overall mean WTP (willingness to pay) of US$177 per year, with a confidence interval ranging from US$101 to US$587.” It will be considerably more. Some have estimates as low as $1200 a year. Some much more. But, none of those truly factor in the rising costs of everything.

Also, notice that the scheme that is growing is one in which the Government reimburses you money for the pain they have caused, attempting to make you more dependent on Government. Which means they control you.

But, hey, Warmists, show us the way. Pony up and show that your truly believe.

SNL Goes Misogynistic In Portrayal Of Kellyanne Conway As Pennywise

By William Teach October 15, 2017 – 8:37 am

It’s certainly not the first time Saturday Night Live has portrayed Ms. Conway negatively over her looks, and probably won’t be the last. It’s a pattern with SNL, and other Leftist media outlets, to attack her in a manner that would have them screaming in Offendinitiss if this was against a Democratic woman, and perhaps resounds a little heavier consider that they can barely touch any jokes about Harvey Weinstein, and, in light of Weinstein, a big Democrat, finally being exposed for the sexual harasser, and perhaps rapist, that he is

(Mediaite) Saturday Night Live lampooned Stephen King‘s It tonight by depicting Kellyanne Conway (played by Kate McKinnon) as Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

The skit opens up with “Anderson Cooper” losing his rundown notes after they are blown out of his hand and fall down a storm drain. “Kelly-wise” greets Cooper when he looks down the drain, and she tries to entice the CNN host with crazy quotes so he’ll invite her back on TV.

When Cooper doesn’t go for it, Conway tries scaring him with headlines about President Trump‘s reelection in 2020. She eventually transforms into Hillary Clinton, who offers Cooper a free copy of her book.

Cooper is unable to resist the temptation, which leads to his arm being bitten off before he’s dragged into the sewers just like poor little Georgie Denbrough.

While this is not a major thing, it highlights the Left’s casual misogyny towards Republican women, something we’ve seen for a long, long time. It should surely be understood that politics is a dirty business, and you enter it at your own risk. However, if Republicans had done this skit (or all the others), every media outlet and Democratic politician would be shrieking about misogyny, would they not? These are the same people who turned an innocuous comment about binders of female candidates for jobs into the Worst Thing Ever against Romney, a guy who is as far from being anti-woman as possible. They claimed misogyny because VP Mike Pence will not meet with woman without his wife present.

Oh, and this was not the only political skit. There was also

And other stuff. Not to go all nostaligic, but, they used to be funny, something most could laugh at and enjoy, regardless of political stripe.
