Say, What Would Jesus Say About “Climate Change”

By William Teach December 24, 2014 – 1:53 pm

He’d probably say something about the people pushing “climate change” as being tyranical and wanting to control every aspect of citizen’s lives.

Let’s Pause and Consider What Jesus Would Say About Climate Change

‘Tis the season when the Christian world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. That child born in Bethlehem so long ago grew up to become one of mankind’s greatest moralists, teaching messages of love, sharing and compassion.

As the cloud of climate change hovering over us grows ever more ominous, huge moral issues swirl about both the causes and the solutions. I can’t help but wonder: if Jesus were here today, what would He say?

Carl Duivenvoorden, a “sustainability consultant”, is Very Concerned, and delves into the typical Warmist/Leftist tropes of consumption, fairness, and social justice, but never actually provides a clue to what Jesus would say, but he does trot out the morality play

When it comes to solving climate change, we have all the technological solutions we need. But as the recent climate talks in Lima reaffirmed, political solutions remain more elusive, largely because of the vastly different perspectives of developed and developing nations. As well, it seems we as individuals have a ways to go, both in thought and action.

Funny that few Warmists actually take action in their own lives, eh? Jesus might say something about the hypocrisy of “do as I say, not as I do.”

So as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, perhaps we may pause to reflect upon His principles and teachings, and strive to be guided by them as we come to grips with the moral challenges raised by climate change.

This comes from people who tend to support abortion on demand, particularly for Black people in third world nations.

Say, Could Hotcoldwetdry Be The Grinch That Steals Christmas?

By William Teach December 24, 2014 – 8:06 am

The annual rite of climate insanity continues

Could climate change be the Grinch that steals Christmas?

Everyone hates a Scrooge.

The winter holidays are a time to gather together, celebrate, stuff ourselves with figgy pudding and otherwise forget all about the travails of the outside world. But much like a certain nasty green fellow who lives in the vicinity of Whoville, climate change doesn’t show much respect for hallowed holiday traditions.

It’s hard to deck the halls without a Christmas tree, but thanks to rising temperatures, they may become harder to find. A Union of Concerned Scientists report released in September predicted dramatic losses in “climatically suitable” areas for Rocky Mountain tree species like ponderosa pines, Engelmann spruce and Douglas fir trees. Lodgepole pines, for example, could see their range decline by 90 percent by 2060, the report said (ClimateWire, Sept. 11).

Do you know what we have a lot of here in the south? Pine trees. I see many of them right outside the back window. Pine trees, like many trees, deal with a wide range of temperatures. My parents live in the Pine Barrens region of NJ. Those pines deal with below zero temps all the way into the 90’s. Does anyone think that a few degrees higher global temperature would be noticed?

Planning a holiday toast? California varietals could someday disappear from holiday wine lists. Pests and diseases that plague the Golden State’s vineyards are only encouraged by warmer weather (ClimateWire, March 25).

“Could”. No proof of mostly/solely anthropogenic causation, just fanatical, unhinged, anti-science prognostications by Warmists.

As for the Arctic, well, Santa Claus’ homeland certainly isn’t what it used to be.

“The Arctic has been getting greener, warmer, increasingly more accessible to shipping, energy extraction and fishing,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration stated this week (ClimateWire, Dec. 18).

Except for the massive growth of the Arctic the past few years.

But, really, rebutting any of this is virtually worthless. Warmists have a narrative and they go two out of three monkeys when presented with anything that violates their cultish beliefs (see no evil, hear no evil….yes, they think Skeptics are evil). They are as dogmatic as the most hardcore cults, ones like Heavens Gate and al Qeada. They use holidays to push their insanity every year. Not Muslim holidays, mind you, because they do not want to offend Muslims.

Anti-Police Protesters Chant “NYPD, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?”

By William Teach December 24, 2014 – 7:36 am

Police hating NYC mayor Bill de Blasio asked protesters to give it a rest till after the funerals of the two officers slain by a nutjob who espoused the same feelings as the protesters. The protesters said “nope”

(NY Post) More than 1,000 anti-cop protesters defied Mayor de Blasio and flooded Manhattan Tuesday evening, marching through the Fifth Avenue shopping district before heading uptown.

“The mayor says stop that, we say f–k that!” the mob chanted at one point.

Other slogans were of the sort that Hizzoner has denounced as “hateful” and “inappropriate” in the wake of Saturday’s assassinations of two city cops.

“NYPD, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?” the protesters shouted.

The demonstrators, some carry­ing a banner that read “Stop Racist Police Terror,” started marching south from 59th Street on the sidewalks, but later blocked traffic on Fifth and Madison Avenues.

Some protesters said they were protesting specifically because de Blasio said not to. At another protest Tuesday, the protesters called police “pigs”. I wonder how they’ll feel when they need the police to come and help them out when they are mugged in an increasingly lawless and criminal NYC?

(Breitbart) Anti-police protesters marching in New York City to protest the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown recite an inspirational quote—which turns out to be the slogan of Joanne Chesimar, aka Assata Shakur, a convicted cop killer living in Cuba to avoid prison since 1984.

The chant says: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

Chesimar/Shakur has been charged with multiple serious crimes, and been convicted of many, including murder of a NJ State Trooper Werner Foerster. She’s on the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list.

Say, What Will “Hellish Global Warming” Look Like?

By William Teach December 23, 2014 – 9:15 am

It’s doom worthy, as they trot out yet another tipping point fable

This Is What Our Hellish World Will Look Like After We Hit the Global Warming Tipping Point

the de facto assumption of climate change policy is that the world must limit the increase in global temperatures to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above pre-Industrial levels, or risk hitting a tipping point where the impact becomes irreversible. The figure dates back to 1975, when economist William Nordhaus suggested that more than 3.6 degrees of warming would “take the climate outside of the range of observations which have been made over the last several hundred thousand years.” By the 1990s, 3.6 degrees gained traction in the scientific community and then in politics, when the European Council argued in 1996 that 3.6 degrees should be the United Nations’ red line for global warming. It wasn’t until four years ago, at a climate conference in Cancun, Mexico, that countries finally committed to “hold the increase in global average temperatures below” 3.6 degrees.

Yada yada yada. Anyhow, what does it look like?

Sure looks pretty cold and snowy, eh?

Anyhow, in a sidebar to the story, another cat is let out of the bag

A paper in Nature in October argued that we should instead measure various “vital signs,” like looking at extreme events around the planet. Negotiators at the December climate talks in Lima, Peru, have recognized that the proposed cuts mean accepting warming anywhere between 4 and 10 degrees. While many point out that 3.6 degrees is unrealistically low, scientists are meeting to reconsider whether this target is already too high.

NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies climatologist Gavin Schmidt likened the 3.6 threshold to a speed limit: Going over the speed limit doesn’t ensure disaster, but it certainly raises the risk of it. “It means the faster you’re going around that curve, the more dangerous it is going to be,” he said. “What any one person might judge as a level that can be adapted to is going to be very dependent on where they’re coming from, what their culture is, how resilient they are, and how much money they have to adapt.”

Hence, all the reliance on “extreme weather” and blaming every weather event on “climate change”.

Tax Cheat Charlie Rangel Unintentionally Calls Leftist Protesters Insane

By William Teach December 23, 2014 – 8:59 am

What Tax Cheat Charlie Rangel wants is for cops to focus on “gun control”, but inadvertently lets the cat out of the bag regarding, not just those protesting over Michael Brown (criminal) and Eric Garner (criminal, though I still maintain that charges should have been forwarded for a jury trial), but most leftists

Dem: Cops should focus on gun control

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) on Monday said police union leaders should be more focused on keeping guns from the insane than pointing fingers at politicians over the murder of two New York City policemen.

Rangel offered criticism of New York City police union leaders who have directed their ire at New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

“They should be conducting interviews mourning those that they lost and their family, talking about how do insane people get firearms and not criticizing but seeing how we can stop insane people from getting an opportunity to get firearms to kill anybody,” Rangel said on MSNBC’s “The Rundown.”

Who was the “insane” person who shot the NYPD officers? Ismaaiyl Brinsley espoused the same dangerous rhetoric that other Leftists did. He certainly had some clinical mental health issues, but was not insane. Just violent. Like many Leftists. Who were calling for the deaths of cops. Who have burned, looted, destroyed, and assaulted during protests. These are the people who vote for Charlie Rangel and Democrats.

Sure would be nice if the NYPD was still allowed to stop and frisk, though, when it comes to keeping people from having illegal guns, eh?

Anyhow, remember when Charlie Rangel declined to criticize following Sandy Hook? Oh, right, he blamed the NRA. His first thought on the Capital Hill chase and shooting was that Republicans were at fault. And was quick to blame Officer Darren Wilson for the violence in Ferguson. Let’s not forget that Charlie Rangel, way back in 1972, early in his political career, took the side of people who assaulted and shot NYPD officers.

It should also be pointed out that New York, and further NYC, have some of the toughest gun laws in the nation.

Anyhow, thanks for calling your base insane, Charlie.

Odious NYC Mayor Advises Protesters To Cool Their Jets Till After Funerals

By William Teach December 22, 2014 – 4:40 pm

Previous NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg was termed “loathsome”. A better word for current NYC mayor Bill De Blasio would be ignominious, but, that doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue

NY mayor: No protests until after officer funerals

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called Monday for a temporary halt to protests over police conduct as he faced a widening rift with a force preparing Christmastime burials for two of its own and decrying the demonstrations as a factor in the officers’ cold-blooded executions.

“I think it’s important that, regardless of people’s viewpoints, that everyone step back,” de Blasio said in a speech Monday at the Police Athletic League. “I think it’s a time for everyone to put aside political debates, put aside protests, put aside all of the things that we will talk about in all due time.”

Where was Odious Bill when protesters were calling for dead cops? Why did he not call for people to “step back” at that point? As far as political debates go, OB was right in the forefront of those slurring the NYPD. Will OB say that #CopLivesMatter? Will he acknowledge that the shooter was pushed by the outlandish and dangerous rhetoric of the protesters?

Climate Change And Christmas Are Totally Linked Or Something

By William Teach December 22, 2014 – 11:31 am

The annual Christmas Warmist pastime of self flagellation flagellating Other People continues

Christmas and Carbon: What’s The Connection?

The Christmas-New Year holiday season is here and it may not be a good time for serious energy talk. However Christmas and carbon footprint does have a close connection. The period between Thanksgiving and New Year sees the largest number of shoppers – both online and offline in the United States. According to Terry Rayner, the General Manager of cardboard recycling company in Dallas, this is the busiest season of the year. His company, Pioneer Paper Stock Company has been processing 2000 tonnes of cardboard a week. A lot of this cardboard goes in the packaging and delivery of gifts and other online purchases made during this season.

Not all of the cardboard and paper necessary for shipping and delivery is recycled material. According to statistics released by the Food &Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, countries like Australia, Brazil and Indonesia have each lost more than 2.5 million hectares of forest cover between 2005 and 2010. A huge chunk of the deforestation is to cater to the demands of the paper manufacturing industry.

The evolution of the shopping trends from offline to online is a unique case study as far as climate change discussions go. While the retailers have been saving energy wasted on commuting, lighting and inventory holding costs, they are also consuming more paper and cardboard due to the hard packaging of every individual shipping. Not accounting for the energy costs in shipping products, one positive aspect of this evolution from a consumer aspect however is that the consumption of non-renewable gas resources have now been replaced with higher consumption of renewable resources like cardboard.

So, any Warmists out there engaging in gift giving, you are the problem in cause the temperature to spike some time in the future, and it’s your fault for all the extreme weather. It rained today, and it’s chilly here in Raleigh, so I blame you. Because that never happened before.

Paper consumption is one metric that the government must monitor intently – because, a growth here would mean a loss for earth climate as a whole.

Gee, more government power. Who would have guessed?
