Bummer: We Might All Have To Go Gluten Free Due To ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach September 14, 2016 – 10:16 am

And cut carbs, because you darned people refuse to give up driving fossil fueled vehicles

We May All Have to Cut Carbs Thanks to Climate Change
Rising global temperatures will harm wheat harvests—and poor countries will be hardest hit.

It seems that as the world’s temperature heats up, more of the world may be forced to go gluten-free.

Remember when climate change was commonly called “the greenhouse effect,” which seemed to suggest that at the very worst we might all end up living in a kind of perpetual summer surrounded by lush greenery? It would be a little humid, maybe, but might otherwise resemble a verdant, abundant, postindustrial Garden of Eden? Oh, those were the days.

On the contrary, climate experts and agricultural scientists have long warned that climate change will likely wreak havoc on the global food supply. A new study appears to offer some of the most convincing evidence to date on the serious effect global warming could have on one of the world’s most important crops, wheat.

If you’re thinking that this is just another in a long line of apocolyptic doom stories from the Cult of Climastrology, you’d be correct. Even when proven wrong, they keep banging the same drum, so, hence the reason they pimp future doom

More than 50 scientists based around the world—from China to the EU to the U.S.—participated in the research, the results of which were published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. The team found that an increase of 1 degree Celsius in global temperature would cause worldwide wheat production to fall between 4 percent and almost 6.5 percent. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the leading international scientific body on the issue of global warming, predicts global temperature to rise between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.

Got that? In the future. The article even mentions the record wheat crops

All told, worldwide wheat production hit nearly 735 million metric tons last year, a record high that the 2016–17 harvest is expected to surpass.

But, if the CoC is correct, then that will drop by a minimum of 30 million metric tons, and doom! All based on

But for the scientists involved, the study represented something of a breakthrough in that it employed three separate methods—two model simulations and a rigorous statistical analysis—all of which produced essentially the same results.

Interestingly, all their models in the past have been wrong. But, hey, this time they’re going to be correct, right? Right?

Doooooooom!

Democrats Protected By Armed Security To Call For Gun Control Wednesday

By William Teach September 14, 2016 – 8:06 am

Americans aren’t particularly interested in having their 2nd Amendment Rights restricted, but Democrats have a burr in their bottom, and the only solution is to make America like Chicago: implementing massive restrictions on law abiding citizens, leaving them to be prey for those who are violent criminals

(Daily Caller) House Democrats are storming Twitter Wednesday in an effort to force GOP leadership to call a vote on gun control legislation.

The proposed action follows a 25-hour sit-in on the House floor in protest of Republicans opting not to bring a bill to the floor barring individuals on the federal no-fly list from purchasing guns – legislation critics feel undermines the right to due process.

Democratic members are being encouraged to partake in a “twitterstorm” at 12:30 p.m. The goal is to get House Speaker Paul Ryan to act on a bill that failed in the House Committee on Appropriations and Senate earlier this year, according to an email obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The article provides the pre-canned Tweets elected Democrats, who have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution in full, can use.

Lawmakers were also given the early option to participate in floor speeches on the issue as part of the party’s Gun Violence Prevention Day of Action.

“During the debate on the rule, Members will line the aisle and ask unanimous consent (script available on the Floor). Photos of victims will be provided by Rep. Speier,” the email reads.

I wonder if any of them will mention the massive “gun violence” in cities run by Democrats, like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Newark, etc? Will they mention the large number of black people who are killing each other with guns in Democratic Party run cities? Or that terrorists have gotten their hands on guns in massive gun control areas like California? Probably not.

Some have started early

Here’s a suggestion: disarm all security for Democrats in the House and Senate. Restrict them and their aides from owning firearms. Disarm the Secret Service which protects Hillary, Obama, and Biden. If they think guns are so bad and dangerous, then they shouldn’t want guns protecting them. They shouldn’t want guns anywhere near them.

Poll: People Aren’t Buying Hillary’s Pneumonia Excuse

By William Teach September 14, 2016 – 7:36 am

Hillary supporters haven’t been, for the most part, particularly concerned with Hillary Clinton’s health. They think it’s a big nothingburger, and, why can’t we talk about X (this is stage 6 of the 8 stages of Liberal discourse when they know they are busted)? Polling shows something different

(Daily Caller) Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis, and her campaign’s subsequent handling, is hurting her already waning polls numbers.

According to the latest poll, conducted by YouGov in partnership with the Times of London, only 45 percent of American voters believe the Clinton campaign’s explanation for why she suffered a “medical episode” at Sunday’s 9/11 memorial service in New York.

Furthermore, 46 percent of voters don’t think Clinton has pneumonia at all and is suffering from a different, undisclosed illness, while nine percent said they didn’t know what to believe.

People not believing what Team Hillary has trotted out? Color me shocked!

The poll also found that, while 38 percent of surveyed voters thought Republican nominee Donald Trump was healthy enough for office, only nine percent thought the same of Clinton.

Think on that one. Only 9 percent think she’s healthy enough for office. Sadly, the Times of London poll is behind a firewall, so, we cannot get a breakdown of the metrics. But, even going loony Slate let us know a few days ago that health matters to voters

A recent Rasmussen poll conducted last week before Clinton’s early exit from the 9/11 memorial service, for example, found that 86 percent of likely voters said that a candidate’s health was important to their vote, compared with only 12 percent who said that it was not. Those figures were generally consistent across party lines, too: 89 percent of self-identified Republicans, 85 percent of Democrats, and 85 percent of independents described a candidate’s health as important. Pollsters who have asked a similar question in recent elections found similar results.

Of course, the poll also showed that Democrats didn’t care about Hillary’s health. How will her collapse affect Democrats? They probably won’t vote Trump, but, they might vote 3rd party or just not vote for president.

Will her health matter? We have a bit under two months to find out. If she doesn’t get out on the trail and appear healthy, if she looks sickly and/or low energy during the debates, if she’s caught on video having another collapse or coughing fit, well, all bets are off. Let’s end with a quote from Jimmy Kimmel

“Hillary Clinton was supposed to be in California today… but she had to cancel the trip because of illness,” Kimmel said. “You probably know Hillary was coughing a lot in public last week and then yesterday she was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial because she was feeling faint. Turns out on Friday Clinton’s doctor had diagnosed her with pneumonia but they kept it secret until this happened and they were forced to admit it. You know, these conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton’s health would be a lot harder to believe if they didn’t actually come true.”

Yeah, there’s a bit more to it, in which he’s trying to protect Hillary. Stage 5.

Hillary will be returning to the campaign trail Thursday. Which means more private fundraisers are the homes of rich people Liberals hate, and small, intimate speeches for tiny Clinton crowds. They’ll probably take away all smartphones and video recorders.

Surprise: Warmist Calls For Fewer Children To Avoid Climate Crisis

By William Teach September 13, 2016 – 10:30 am

Quite frankly, it would be nice if Warmists would have no children, which would make it harder for them to pass on their insanity to youth, hopefully starting with Travis N. Reider

Bioethicist: The climate crisis calls for fewer children

Earlier this summer, I found myself in the middle of a lively debate because of my work on climate change and the ethics of having children.

NPR correspondent Jennifer Ludden profiled some of my work in procreative ethics with an article entitled, “Should we be having kids in the age of climate change?,” which summarized my published views that we ought to consider adopting a “small family ethic” and even pursuing fertility reduction efforts in response to the threat from climate change. Although environmentalists for decades have worried about overpopulation for many good reasons, I suggest the fast-upcoming thresholds in climate change provide uniquely powerful reasons to consider taking real action to slow population growth.

Clearly, this idea struck a nerve: I was overwhelmed by the response in my personal email inbox as well as op-eds in other media outlets and over 70,000 shares on Facebook. I am gratified that so many people took the time to read and reflect on the piece.

Having read and digested that discussion, I want to continue it by responding to some of the most vocal criticisms of my own work, which includes research on “population engineering” – the intentional manipulation of human population size and structure – I’ve done with my colleagues, Jake Earl and Colin Hickey.

Of course, if we don’t population engineer, we are totally doomed, as the rest of the article notes. And, since this is science, we’re treated to

How bad will things get?

Some comments – those claiming climate change is a hoax, devised by those who wish to control the world’s resources – are not worth responding to. Since 97 percent of all relevant experts cannot convince climate change skeptics of the basic scientific facts, then nothing I say will change their minds.

First, consensus is not science. Second, it’s cute how he adds “relevant”. You can figure out the meaning of that one.

Fortunately, we are shown what an unhappy family from carbon pollution looks like

If I had Leftist Cult of Climastrology parents, I’d probably unhappy, as well.

NC GOP Spokesperson Hits NCAA Hard Over Relocating Championship Games

By William Teach September 13, 2016 – 7:16 am

So, the NCAA, which had no problem having tournament and championship games in places like Houston, which has a law against transgender bathrooms, and other places which use the time honored method of having separate bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers for males and females, did this

Based on the NCAA’s commitment to fairness and inclusion, the Association will relocate all seven previously awarded championship events from North Carolina during the 2016-17 academic year. The NCAA Board of Governors made this decision because of the cumulative actions taken by the state concerning civil rights protections.

In its decision Monday, the Board of Governors emphasized that NCAA championships and events must promote an inclusive atmosphere for all college athletes, coaches, administrators and fans. Current North Carolina state laws make it challenging to guarantee that host communities can help deliver on that commitment if NCAA events remained in the state, the board said.

“Fairness is about more than the opportunity to participate in college sports, or even compete for championships,” said Mark Emmert, NCAA president. “We believe in providing a safe and respectful environment at our events and are committed to providing the best experience possible for college athletes, fans and everyone taking part in our championships.”

One of their complaints is over the gender confused in bathrooms. But, the yammering about “fairness and inclusion” is interesting, and let to this

(Daily Caller) In response, North Carolina GOP spokeswoman Kami Mueller released a defiant statement, obtained by local reporter Andrew Carter, arguing the NCAA’s position logically called for the abolition of all athletic distinctions between men and women.

“This is so absurd it’s almost comical,” Mueller said. “I genuinely look forward to the NCAA merging all men’s and women’s teams together as singular, unified, unisex teams. Under the NCAA’s logic, colleges should make cheerleaders and football players share bathrooms, showers and hotel rooms. This decision is an assault to female athletes across the nation. If you are unwilling to have women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, how do you have a women’s team?”

“I wish the NCAA was this concerned about the women who were raped at Baylor,” Mueller continued. “Perhaps the NCAA should stop with their political peacocking — and instead focus their energies on making sure our nation’s collegiate athletes are safe, both on and off the field.”

Andrew Carter, the reporter who released it, said he had to check to make sure it wasn’t a parody account, but, think on the NCAA release: does it not push to do exactly what Ms. Meuller is stating? How can you have inclusion if you aren’t allowing everyone to play in whatever sport they want and go in whatever bathroom, shower, and locker (BSL) room whenever they want regardless of sexual orientation?

On one hand, Leftists are screaming about this “rape culture” on college campuses (which are run mostly by Leftists and hotbeds of leftism, of course). On the other hand, they’re trying to force women to accept biological men in their BSLs.

It will be interesting to see where these events are held. Do they allow the gender confused in whatever BSL they want? Will male athletes be allowed in the women’s BSLs?

NY Times Goes Conspiracy Theorist, Wants Hillary To Release Medical Records

By William Teach September 13, 2016 – 6:54 am

Remember when anyone questioning Hillary’s health and demanding her medical records was a conspiracy theorist? That anyone asking was bonkers? Welcome to the club, NY Times Editorial Board! They want Trump’s, as well

Full Disclosure on Candidates’ Health

As President Obama’s graying hair suggests, the American presidency is perhaps the most grueling and stressful political job there is. This year, both major party candidates for that job are past the nation’s customary retirement age. And while submitting health records is not a requirement for the job, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would be doing American voters a great service by furnishing a much clearer picture of their physical health than the abbreviated and sunny reports provided so far.

What brings the health issue to mind, of course, is the video of a stumbling Mrs. Clinton being hustled away from the 9/11 memorial service in New York on Sunday. She reappeared some two hours later to say she felt great. Hours later, her doctor issued a statement saying Mrs. Clinton had been suffering from pneumonia — a diagnosis Mrs. Clinton had received two days earlier and which came as a surprise even to some members of her campaign team.

How cute that they just take her campaign’s word for the pneumonia, without asking any pesky questions. If it was Trump, would they do the same? Rhetorical question, obviously. As for “stumbling”

https://twitter.com/HalleyBorderCol/status/775035692363677697

That’s a bit more than stumbling. But, perhaps she did have pneumonia, since she was traveling around with her doctor, the woman standing behind her in the black dress. Otherwise, one might wonder why her doctor is there. And seems to be around a lot.

The Times goes on to note who little either candidate has released in regards to medical records. They’re correct for both. Trump’s release was a joke, but, then, he doesn’t seem low energy. He isn’t prone to long coughing fits going all the way back to January. He didn’t collapse in 75 degree “heat”. He doesn’t freeze on stage or have weird fits. He hasn’t fallen many times, including falls that injured himself. He hasn’t had aides write that he’s always in bed, and it’s tough to get him up. He doesn’t disappear from the campaign trail. He hasn’t had blood clots and broken his elbow, nor become concussed from fainting. He’s never said that he had memory issues (coming from the concussion).

Now Americans are deciding between Mr. Trump, who is 70, and Mrs. Clinton, who is 68. Whoever prevails will have to deal with round-the-clock demands, so it seems entirely relevant to inquire about their medical histories and current health.

On Monday, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton said she would releaseadditional health information in coming days. For his part, Mr. Trump said he would make public “very, very specific” records, a remarkable promise coming from someone who has resolutely stonewalled on his tax returns. Should both candidates honor these pledges, and provide plenty of detail, the winners will be the voters.

What will we get? It should be interesting. And, I suppose we can now lump the NY Times in with Prison Planet and other conspiracy sites.

You Know What’s More Important Than Hillary’s Health? Climate Change!!!!!!

By William Teach September 12, 2016 – 3:53 pm

We have a woman who may or may not be in good health. And she has lied and obfuscated on it. Consider, they are blaming the pneumonia on allergies recently. Um, what of the history of having coughing fits all year long? Does she keep catching pneumonia? Has it been hanging around all year? I do hope, in all sincerity, that she is not that sickly, but, you look at what’s going on, and it is concerning. Even Britt Hume has concerns in light of photos like

That second one was knew to me. But, hey, ‘climate change’!

Eight things that are more important than Hillary’s pneumonia

….
Donald Trump’s attitude to climate change

The Republican candidate has said he would withdraw from the Paris deal on cutting emissions, and in 2014 referred to the scientific consensus on global warming as “bullshit”, stating that “our planet is freezing”. The 10 hottest years on record have all occured since 1998. (WT – Misspelling on writer, not me)

And, yes, there are 7 more unhinged bits of moonbat droppings.
