Say, Does Climate Change Make It Immoral To Have Kids?

By William Teach April 2, 2016 – 3:33 pm

Well, yeah, at least for Warmists, as they indoctrinate their children to act as brain dead cultists, as the parents and other Warmists constantly scare the kids about a doomed world based on fantasy, wishful thinking, and failed computer models. Of course, that’s not what Cult of Climastrology member Dave Bry is referring to

Does climate change make it immoral to have kids?
Bringing children into a disintegrating environment used to be a theoretical fear. Now it’s a very real one

(Could probably insert a facepalm and end this all after just the headline and subhead)

But there is a whole other potential person to consider, too – the new life that you are bringing into the world without asking first.

It’s not really fair. For while the world is a wonderful place, one we humans have made nicer for ourselves with wonderful inventions like books and record players, penicillin and pizza, it’s also a really awful place, one we’ve ravaged with deforestation and smog, nuclear weapons and mountains of pizza delivery boxes and other garbage.

The awfulness seems to be getting worse, especially now that climate change has sped up – sea level rise that was supposed to take centuries has recently been projected as taking just decades. This complicates the already difficult decision of whether to have a kid.

We’re living through what scientists call the “Sixth Extinction”, an era of precipitous decline in the number of species able to live on the planet. The last mass extinction, the fifth, happened 444m years ago, when the water, where all life on Earth lived, got too cold, and 86% of the little hexbug creatures that crawled around the sea floor froze to their demise.

If you’re thinking the rest is

and

you’d be correct. Oh, and Mr. Bry and spouse did go and have a child, hence, he’s a climahypocrite.

A Few Triangle Businesses Take Super Brave Stance Against NC’s Gender Confused Bathroom Law

By William Teach April 2, 2016 – 7:37 am

Why, yes, liberals are still having hissy fits over the gender confused bathroom law

(Raleigh News And Observer) There’s no more men’s room at Durham’s Old Havana Sandwich Shop. No women’s room, either. That’s because owners Roberto Copa Matos and Elizabeth Turnbull decided last week to change their restaurant’s single-stall bathrooms into unisex restrooms.

The couple are among the bar, restaurant and small-business owners in the Triangle who are expressing their opposition to the controversial new law that requires transgender residents to use the public restroom of their biological sex.

“For us, it just made a lot of sense,” Turnbull said this week. “It just never seemed like a pressing issue until it was.”

So, they didn’t care in the least until they could pander to a some hardcore Progressives and a tiny number of gender confused people. This is a completely brave, brave stance, what with those bathrooms being single stall, eh?

Like Old Havana Sandwich Shop, some businesses converted or plan to convert their single-stall bathrooms to unisex. Others used the opportunity to remind customers they already have unisex bathrooms. Some hung signs opposing the law. A few struggled with what, if anything, they might be able to do with their multiple-stall, gender-specific bathrooms to make transgender customers feel welcome. (snip)

Like the owners of Old Havana, Durham restaurant owner Mattie Beason decided to change the men’s and women’s single-stall bathrooms into unisex restrooms at Mattie B’s Public House. “It was in response,” Beason said this week. “It’s giving our state a bad reputation.”

Chris Carini, who has owned Linda’s Bar & Grill in Chapel Hill for five years, bought signs to change two of his single-stall bathrooms to gender neutral. The restaurant also has gender-specific bathrooms. “It’s the right thing to do,” said Carini, who emphasized he trains his staff to make everyone feel welcome and that this move is a continuation of that training.

I’m waiting for the brave, brave shop owners to convert their multi-occupancy bathrooms to unisex and/or allow gender confused people to use whichever bathroom they want. Just about everyone doing this has single occupancy bathrooms.

Sean Wilson, owner of Fullsteam brewery in Durham, said he tried to install unisex bathrooms in 2010 when the brewery opened, but the city wouldn’t approve it. The brewery is so large that big, multistall bathrooms, which ended up being gender specific, were required, he recalled. Wilson said he has two options: either add a third bathroom or modify the current ones. “It’s not an easy fix,” he said.

Sure it is: they can just put up a sign saying the gender confused can use whichever biological bathroom they identify with. Absolutely nothing within HB2 stops this, and, in fact, allows it. Since HB2 reinforces that state law takes precedence over local law, Durham (which is a vastly left leaning city and county) cannot stop it. Take a Brave stance, Sean! Make the bathrooms open for transgenders! You can do it man, it’s an easy fix.

If there’s any business with multi-occupancy bathrooms that have made them gender neutral or made a specific announcement that transgenders can use whichever they want here in NC, I’d love to know.

Obama Has A Sad That Iran’s Not Following The “Spirit” Of The Nuclear Deal

By William Teach April 2, 2016 – 7:10 am

Interestingly, he seems less upset over Iran than he does with fellow Americans who disagree with Obama politically

(The Hill) President Obama on Friday criticized Iranian leaders for undermining the “spirit” of last year’s historic nuclear agreement, even as they stick to the “letter” of the pact.

Of course, Iran has actually broken the “letter” of the pact, not just the “spirit”, but, one should not expect Obama to criticize, because his “legacy” depends on Iran being good little boys (not girls, because women aren’t treated that well).

In comments following the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, Obama denied speculation that the United States would ease rules preventing dollars from being used in financial transactions with Iran, in order to boost the country’s engagement with the rest of the world.

Instead, Obama claimed, that Iran’s troubles even after the lifting of sanctions under the nuclear deal were due to its continued support of Hezbollah, ballistic missile tests and other aggressive behavior.

These are little things in Obama’s World Of Cares. He must be very surprised that Iran is doing these things. If only someone could have foreseen this.

“Iran so far has followed the letter of the agreement, but the spirit of the agreement involves Iran also sending signals to the world community and businesses that it is not going to be engaging in a range of provocative actions that are going to scare businesses off,” Obama said at a press conference.

“When they launch ballistic missiles with slogans calling for the destruction of Israel, that makes businesses nervous.”

Really? It makes businesses nervous? How about the people in the nation that is being threatened with destruction, and has the most concern when it comes to Iran building a nuclear weapons, which they are allowed to do in just 8-10 years? Think they might be nervous? Think Obama cares?

‘Climate Change’ Could Totally Mean More War Or Something

By William Teach April 1, 2016 – 4:43 pm

Nope, this is not a joke article, because every day in Warmist World is April Fool’s Day

One Dire Potential Consequence Of Climate Change That Nobody Ever Talks About

Answer by Richard Muller, Professor of physics and co-founder of Berkeley Earth, on Quora:

War.

Climate change could, in principle, affect the productivity of many nations, shifting it from one region to another. It is plausible that changes in climate played a major role in the expansion of the Roman Empire , in the Vikings excursions into France, in the 100-years war.

Let’s consider: the Roman Empire expanded during a period of warmth, and collapsed as a cool period came about, with even more warfare. The Vikings were during that same cool period. The 100 Years war occurred during the start of the Little Ice Age period. While there is certainly violence and war during warm periods, because, heck, we’re humans, and Darwinism discusses survival of the fittest and conflict (a notion Warmists throw out the window in thinking Hotcoldwetdry will kill us all), things seem to be worse during the cool periods overall.

I am not predicting war. Climate change, so far, has been quite mild (1.5C in 250 years), but it is likely to accelerate, and that could bring about economic disruption. Some people argue that climate change will be good; up in Canada I have frequently seen bumper-stickers “Canadian For Climate Change”. But even if good for some regions, it is just as likely to be bad for others.  In Silicon Valley, “disruptive” can be great for the right investor, and disastrous for another.

Notice how Professor Muller drops the “1.5C in 250 years” talking point. Roughly 90 years of that was the tail end of the Little Ice Age, where temps started increasing as it ended. We’ve really only had about .8C to, at most (using the worst measuring points) 1C since 1850, the end of the LIA. This is simply a method to dupe people into thinking it is worse than it is, while also proclaiming future doom. This is the worst of cultish action.

Gender Confused Bathroom Issue: We Now Have A List Of Which Businesses To Avoid

By William Teach April 1, 2016 – 10:52 am

The confused people who support gender confused people who want to use the bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers established for the biological opposite gender have created a map of private organizations who support the gender confused, and even require an oath

(WNCN) Dozens of business owners across the state have named their businesses as “safe bathrooms” in response to House Bill 2.

Emily Waggoner, the creator of a Google map listing businesses, started the project because she has loved ones who “are directly affected by this legislation.”

How are they affected? Obviously, private organizations can legally allow their bathrooms to be used by the gender confused. This was made quite clear in the legislation as passed.

She said the map is for businesses who have publicly stated their bathrooms are safe for transgender people.

Just not safe for those who aren’t. I’m wondering how many of these bathrooms being designated are single stall.

“Our initial idea was for this to be a resource for our friends in North Carolina, but it has turned into a platform for people to band together, raise their voices, and fight. “

Fight? Really? Over bathrooms?

Business owners are required to submit documentation showing their stance before being added to the map.

They must take a pledge. One wonders how soon it will be before these confused people who support gender confused people will start making demands of private organizations who do not support transgendered bathrooms. When they will start protesting, demonizing them, insulting them, even attempting to shake them down or shut them down. Because, this is the typical end result of the oh-so-tolerant diversity loving Progressives.

Bummer: Washington Post Totally Worried About The Earth Becoming A Swamp World

By William Teach April 1, 2016 – 7:09 am

And no, this is not an April Fool’s Day joke, the Editorial Board is dead serious

Shocking new study foresees a swamped planet as the GOP revels in illogic

“I JUST think we have much bigger risks,” Donald Trump told us last week. We had asked the Republican presidential candidate about human-caused climate change, a phenomenon in which he said he is “not a big believer.” Don’t good business leaders hedge against risks, spending something now to avoid potentially negative outcomes later? “I think our biggest form of climate change we should worry about is nuclear weapons,” he responded.

Mr. Trump is not alone among Republicans in citing other scary problems to illogically ignore the danger of a warming world. Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich both mention terrorism — “the real problem that faces us today,” Mr. Kasich said — when criticizing President Obama’s efforts to slow climate change.

Meanwhile, in the world of facts, evidence and science, the dangers of climate change look ever more frightening.

This is pimping the new study about how the melting in western Antarctica portends future doom

The interlocking effects of the Earth’s various systems remain complex and difficult to predict. What is beyond question is that we face significant risk. The prudent response would be to mitigate the threat, instead of waiting to discover that scientists’ warnings were on target — or even understated — after the damage has been done.

Why are they not taking Obama to task? He just said nuclear proliferation is the most dangerous problem in the world. But, hey, if the prudent response is to mitigate the threat, then all Warmists should get off their duffs, give up their own use of fossil fuels, and make their lives carbon neutral, because things are so dire that they cannot afford to wait.

The NY Times Editorial Board is also very upset about the study. They should stop using fossil fuels to produce the content for their newspaper and to spread their newspaper around the country and world. Every little bit helps!

Every day in Warmist World is a combination of Halloween and April Fool’s Day.

Excitable Paul Krugman Thinks Obama’s “Successes” Are April Fools Day Jokes

By William Teach April 1, 2016 – 6:53 am

David Brooks is off today at the NY Times, so, Paul Krugman steps in with a howler, because Obama is totally a success, so much so that people don’t really know it. Because there is a media that votes 90% Democrat to let us know, and we can totally learn from Obama

Learning From Obama

(A blurb about Obama’s supposed rising poll numbers to start off)

Well, one answer is that voters have lately been given a taste of what really bad leaders look like. But I’d like to think that the public is also starting to realize just how successful the Obama administration has been in addressing America’s problems. And there are lessons from that success for those willing to learn.

I know that it’s hard for many people on both sides to wrap their minds around the notion of Obama-as-success. On the left, those caught up in the enthusiasms of 2008 feel let down by the prosaic reality of governing in a deeply polarized political system. Meanwhile, conservative ideology predicts disaster from any attempt to tax the rich, help the less fortunate and rein in the excesses of the market; and what are you going to believe, the ideology or your own lying eyes?

But the successes are there for all to see.

For all to see! What are they?

Start with the economy. You might argue that presidents don’t have as much effect on economic performance as voters seem to imagine — especially presidents facing scorched-earth opposition from Congress for most of their time in office. But that misses the point: Republicans have spent the past seven years claiming incessantly that Mr. Obama’s policies are a “job killing” disaster, destroying business incentives, so it’s important news if the economy has performed well.

And it has: We’ve gained 10 million private-sector jobs since Mr. Obama took office, and unemployment is below 5 percent. True, there are still some areas of disappointment — low labor force participation, weak wage growth. But just imagine the boasting we’d be hearing if Mitt Romney occupied the White House.

So, except for the 92 million who’ve dropped out of the labor force, quite a few in despair, and huge number who can only get low wage service industry jobs, many of which are part time (which we were told were bad jobs when Bush was president, and I bet a search would unveil Krugman complaining about them), and wage growth stinking up the joint like a corpse plant, everything is awesome!

Then there’s health reform, which has (don’t tell anyone) been meeting its goals.

He gives more to it, but, let’s consider that the one purpose was to cover the 40-45 million without health insurance. Ocare obtained less than that. Another part was to make it affordable. It’s there in the name of the act. Yet, it’s too expensive deductible wise for a goodly chunk to use it. And, it is not revenue neutral. And, people lost the plans and doctors they liked.

Krugman goes on to discuss financial reform, which is a success in that it hasn’t caused an implosion in the financial markets and banks, but, is still rather toothless, as well as Obama’s tyranical executive orders, such as the Clean Power Plant order, which will cause financial harm to the middle and lower classes. But, is Krugman kidding about this all?

All in all, it’s quite a record. Assuming Democrats hold the presidency, Mr. Obama will emerge as a hugely consequential president — more than Reagan. And I’m sure Republicans will learn a lot from his achievements.

April fools!

Yes, Obama is an April Fools joke. And so is attempting to defend his poor record. But, hey, if you’re a super rich guy like Krugman, things are fine.
