Who’s Up For An Eco-Chaplain To Deal With Climate (scam) Grief?

By William Teach September 6, 2024 – 3:38 pm

This sure seems like something a cult would come up with

A new kind of chaplain is helping people deal with ‘climate grief’

When Diane Ware’s home state of Oregon proposed a natural gas pipeline that threatened local waterways, she sprang into action – leading workshops on lobbying state lawmakers, mentoring student activists and organizing lectures at her church.

But when plans for the pipeline were canceled, Ware, 78, found little pleasure in the victory. The retired elementary school teacher couldn’t shake the feeling that it may be too late to save a planet in deep peril – a prospect tinged with grief, anger and depression. Ware realized she had a case of “climate grief” – and needed help.

Ware is one of a growing number of people using the services of an eco-chaplain, a new kind of spiritual advisor rising among clergy trained in handling grief and other difficult emotions.

Each month, at the Talent Public Library, Ware attends Sustaining Climate Activists, a gathering of mostly retired adults led by an eco-chaplain. She went to her first meeting shortly after a wildfire swept through Lahaina, Hawaii, in 2023. She was upset by a report that claimed news organizations had failed to link the wildfire to climate change.

The eco-chaplain is a 21st century invention, and while no one knows exactly how many there are, chaplaincy experts agree that the number is likely less than 100. There is no universally recognized eco-chaplaincy training, as there is for other kinds of chaplaincy, but a number of organizations offer training from Buddhist, Christian, Jewish and secular perspectives.

Today, there are chaplains working at the intersection of climate, grief and spirituality in the United States, Great Britain, Australia and Canada. Most develop their own ways of addressing the issue, from one-on-one therapy sessions to online climate grief circles and in-person support groups.

Hey, nothing like taking advantage of people who’ve already been driven batshit guano by a doomsday cult, right? And then being given all sorts of advice which keeps the crazy going, eh?

Hamas Supporter Tim Walz Pushes For A Two State Solution

By William Teach September 6, 2024 – 10:30 am

You know what the two state solution is? It’s Israel giving up territory it won during wars that Arabs started. It would allow more extremist Palestinians area with which to launch attacks on Israel, especially civilian Jews. And the Islamic extremists do not want two states: they want one, with Israel overrun and replaced. Along comes Tim Walz, who has to patronize the hardcore Islamists in his state and who support Democrats with a bad idea

Harris running mate Tim Walz: ‘We can’t allow what’s happened in Gaza to happen’

“We can’t allow what’s happened in Gaza to happen,” Kamala Harris’s Vice Presidential running mate Tim Walz told WCMU radio in Michigan in an interview on Thursday.

Asked by the interviewer how a Harris-Walz administration would handle the Israel-Hamas war, and whether it would break from the Biden administration, Walz said that October 7 was a “horrific act of violence against the people of Israel” and reiterated statements by Harris that Israel has the right to defend itself.

However, he added that “we can’t allow what’s happened in Gaza to happen. The Palestinian people have every right to life and liberty themselves.”

The answer is simple: Palestinians need to stop attacking Israel, especially civilians. They need to stop backing internationally designated terrorist organizations. Gaza and the West Bank would be fine if Palestinians were peaceful. The cities could be wonderful. Has Tim noticed that the Gaza border with Egypt has a big wall and lots of security because Egypt is worried about the extremism in Gaza?

Walz then advocated for a two-state solution, and added that he wanted to push “the Netanyahu government to start moving in that direction.”

Speaking on the pro-Palestine protests in Michigan recently, including at the university, Walz said he thought “those folks who are speaking out loudly are speaking out for all the right reasons. It’s a humanitarian crisis. It can’t stand the way it is.”

Germany and Japan started WWII: when their cities were obliterated, well, don’t start none won’t be none. Did Dhimmi Tim see this?

IDF destroys explosives lab hidden under mosque in Jenin counterterrorism operation

The military, Shin Bet, and Border Police forces have eliminated and apprehended numerous terrorists, dismantled booby traps, and conducted aerial strikes in Jenin, the IDF reported Friday morning.

Terrorist Wassem Hazem, Hamas’ terror organization head in Jenin, was killed after directing explosive and shooting attacks in the area, as well as numerous terror attacks in the West Bank.

Over the last week and a half, this joint operation has led to the elimination of 14 terrorists, the detainment of over 30 suspects, and approximately 30 explosives planted under roadways were dismantled.

Several sites for terrorist infrastructure were destroyed, including a weaponry storehouse and a lab used for manufacturing explosives located under a mosque.

Nothing like two states for Palestinians to do this, Tim.

Bummer: Volvo Ditches 2030 Fully EV Goal

By William Teach September 6, 2024 – 7:00 am

Volvo has learned a valuable lesson on trying to force their consumers into buying vehicles they do not want. Volvo customer are rabid about purchasing Volvos, much like Subaru customers, and they aren’t really biting on EVs outside of Europe

Volvo reverses goal to make only EVs in 2030

Volvo on Wednesday announced that it is dropping its goal of making only electric vehicles by 2030, saying it now expects it will still be offering some hybrid models as part of its lineup at that point.

The Swedish company, which has China’s Geely as its largest shareholder, and other automakers have seen slowing demand for EVs as price-conscious car buyers turn to hybrids and gas-powered vehicles over affordability concerns as well as access to charging stations.

Volvo and other EV makers are also bracing for the impact of European tariffs on electric cars made in China, a move that follows similar steps in the U.S.

In a statement, the company said it is aiming for 90% to 100% of its 2030 global sales volume to consist of fully electric EVs and plug-in hybrids, with the remaining zero to 10% of its lineup allowing “for a limited number of mild hybrid models to be sold, if needed.”

The reversal of plans to be fully electric by 2030 comes as the company expects the percentage of its electrified lineup — which includes EVs and hybrids — to be between 50% and 60% by 2025. Its share of fully electric vehicles was 26% in the second quarter of 2024, while EVs and hybrids combined amounted to 48% of its electric lineup.

It’s actually still rather tough to get people to get regular, non-plugin hybrids. EVs? Well, it’s a little easier with Volvo, considering they are a premium vehicle, and a goodly chunk of the purchasers will have garages. Home charging is where you save money. The only way to really get people to consider adopting is significantly building out the level 3 charging infrastructure, and losing lots of money on the sale of each one. So, realistically, if Volvo wants to stay in business, they’ll backtrack more and more on their EV pledge.

What’s Stalling Electric Vehicle Adoption in Wyoming?

…..

Wyoming has the second-lowest number of EVs in the country after North Dakota, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, with 1,080 registered. To some degree, that makes sense. Wyoming’s vast open spaces, harsh winters that can reduce battery capacity and populations spread out in small rural pockets make many residents wary of EVs. And disagreement between federal and state authorities about the best locations for chargers might also be slowing the growth of electric cars in the Cowboy State.

Wait, the batteries do not work well when it is cold? Huh.

Comrade Kamala Thinks Using The DOJ To Shut Down Free Speech Is Great

By William Teach September 6, 2024 – 6:45 am

Has Cackles ever read the 1st Amendment? Does she understand the meaning behind the Free Speech clause?

Does she understand that there is no legislative authority to do this, because the 1st means there can be no legislation, hence, no Executive Branch authority? Does she even care? She doesn’t get to pick and choose what is “misinformation and hate”, and the Constitution doesn’t allow her too. You’d think someone who served as California’s to prosecutor would have a firm grasp on stuff like this. Any Democrats cheering her on should remember that the government can quickly turn on them

(Breitbart) “Communism is the past,” and “freedom is the future,” former President Donald Trump said while speaking to the Economic Club of New York, blasting “comrade” Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Her values haven’t changed,” Trump said of Harris. “That’s what she wants. So, she told the truth. We’re not going to let this happen.”

“Communism is the past. Freedom is the future, and it is time to send comrade Kamala Harris back home to California, where crime is rampant, and fleeing is the number one occupation,” Trump added.

For all the wacky prognostications by Democrats that Trump is a Fascist and Authoritarian, he didn’t do this during his first 4 years. He wasn’t out there talking about un-Constitutionally taking away people’s rights. But, Democrats, including Harris and Tim Walz, have said they would. And, have done it.

Say, Why Has Hurricane Activity Been So Low The Last Few Weeks?

By William Teach September 5, 2024 – 3:00 pm

You know the climate cult is very upset over this

Why the Atlantic Basin has been unusually quiet as peak hurricane season nears

The time of year that typically sees the most tropical systems forming in the Atlantic Basin is almost here.

The past three weeks in the Atlantic Basin have been notably quiet with no named storm formations since Ernesto on Aug. 12.

The last time the Atlantic had no named storm formations between Aug. 13 and Sept. 3 was in 1968, Philip Klotzbach, senior research scientist at Colorado State University, told ABC News. There has not been a named storm anywhere in the Atlantic Basin for more than two weeks.

The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10, according to the National Hurricane Center. Historically speaking, about two-thirds of all storm activity occurs between Aug. 20 and Oct. 10.

So, what’s going on?

Earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a very active Atlantic hurricane season for 2024.

One of the explanations for the lack of storm systems forming in the Atlantic Basin in recent weeks is due to the Saharan Dust moving across the Atlantic Ocean, scientists say. Large Saharan dust outbreaks brought widespread, intense plumes of dust and lots of dry air across the tropical Atlantic during July and much of August, Ed Nowottnick, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, told ABC News.

Tropical waves have been exiting the African continent so far north that they have been pulling in lots of dust and dry air, limiting their chances for development, according to researchers at tropical weather experts at Colorado State University.

Supposedly, those dust storms are going down, which means the tropical waves coming off the African coast might increase.

Looking ahead to mid-September, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center’s long-range Global Tropical Hazards Outlook calls for a slight to moderate chance of new tropical development over the Central Atlantic Ocean.

And they are really hoping that hurricane activity explodes, so they can fear monger. Shockingly, the article fails to mention ‘climate change’ as a cause for the dust storms reducing tropical systems. Normally, that is where they would go. There’s always an excuse for the cult. They were initially doomsaying that this would be a huge hurricane season, especially after a quick start.

But, of course

(Axios) Between the lines: Meteorologists and climate scientists are also debating another factor holding back storm formation: unusually warm air at high altitudes.

Mostly, though, the climate cult hasn’t figured out full talking points and linked them. I see some yapping about an unusually warm Mediterranean, La Nina, and other Reasons.

SCNY Times Is Very Concerned Over Illegals Getting Their Mail

By William Teach September 5, 2024 – 10:30 am

This is so terrible! Not getting their mail? The horror

Migrants in N.Y. Shelters Face Surprising Challenge: Getting Their Mail

With 64,000 migrants shuttling through a warren of shelters in New York City, one of the city’s more difficult challenges is among the more unheralded: delivering the mail.

The influx of migrants from the southern border has brought a barrage of mail to the city’s more than 200 migrant shelters, overflowing the makeshift mail rooms in repurposed hotels and office buildings where the new arrivals are staying.

Some of the correspondence is critical: immigration notices or documents to apply for Social Security numbers and work authorization, documents that, if lost or delayed, would hamper the migrants’ ability to work legally in the United States.

But problems have arisen. Mail sometimes goes missing. The Postal Service has, at times, determined that mail is undeliverable at some shelters, such as the tent dormitory on Randall’s Island, according to immigration lawyers.

Are we caring about this? Are we caring about illegals being given social security numbers and work authorization when they shouldn’t even be here, knowing that these are two steps to them getting lawful status and sticking around permanently when they weren’t even eligible for asylum? It’s a ridiculously long piece. You know what the Sanctuary City New York Times doesn’t care about?

Haitian migrant accused of molesting child is in US via controversial Biden-Harris program

A Haitian migrant who entered the United States last year was arrested in Massachusetts after allegedly molesting a 10-year-old boy who lived next door to him.

Akim Marc Desire, 18, was arrested by police last week in Mansfield, Massachusetts, about 45 minutes south of Boston, and is being charged with indecent assault and battery on a child under age 14, law enforcement sources told Fox News.

Desire, who is now in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, flew to the U.S. in June of last year, arriving in Miami before eventually making his way up to the Boston area. (snip)

Desire flew to the U.S. under the Biden administration’s controversial CHNB parole program, which allows migrants to apply for entry with a sponsor from four countries: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

The program was paused in July after an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) review found evidence of mass fraud, including more than 100,000 applications being filled out by roughly 3,000 “serial sponsors.”

The Biden-Harris admin doesn’t care about American citizens, and, if Harris wins, there will be more of this, regardless of what her campaign talking points are regarding getting tough on the border. And the SCNY Times has zero stories about this, because they would then have to explain that it is the fault of Biden-Harris that this child molester shouldn’t even be here.

Utah Supreme Court Doesn’t Seem Interested In Taking Another Look At Climate (cult) Youts Case

By William Teach September 5, 2024 – 7:00 am

The climate won’t give up. They’ll never give up on forcing Everyone Else to live their cult beliefs

Utah top court skeptical of reviving youth-led climate change case

Utah’s highest court on Wednesday appeared reluctant to revive a lawsuit by young people alleging the state was violating their right to life under the state’s constitution by adopting laws that contribute to climate change by promoting fossil fuel development.

Justices on the Utah Supreme Court questioned a lawyer for youth activists suing the state about whether striking down certain laws governing the permitting of oil, gas and coal mining projects would do anything to remedy the climate harms they are alleging given that new fossil fuel projects could still be approved.

“If we can’t say that granting the relief you seek would change even a single decision, then there wouldn’t be any impact on fossil fuel emissions,” Justice Diana Hagen asked the lawyer, Andrew Welle of the non-profit law firm Our Children’s Trust.

Hagen said even if the laws were stuck down, state regulators would still retain discretion to authorize future projects, which the plaintiffs have not sought an injunction to block.

Hagen and other members of the five-judge court suggested that was one of the many potentially fatal flaws of the young activists’ lawsuit that would warrant upholding a lower court judge’s 2022 decision to toss the case.

That judge, Robert Faust, had concluded the case raised a political question and that nothing in the state’s constitution would authorize a judicial remedy to address global climate change.

Too bad the judges didn’t ask the youts if they had all given up their own use of fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral. That should be the standard for anyone filing climate cult lawsuits.

Hamas Supporting Students Call For End Of United States

By William Teach September 5, 2024 – 6:45 am

Those in the know have long ago learned that all these Muslim student organizations are simply props for the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic extremists, and taught the college kiddies all about diversity, multiculturalism, and Islamophobia, meaning that no one can condemn hardcore Islam, no one can criticize it, or offer anything negative that shows the issues, with the ultimate goal of eradicating Western nations. About that

This was from the National Students for Justice in Palestine, a Muslim Brotherhood linked group, full of lots of people who back Islamic terrorist groups. Heck, this 6 year old book will tell you everything you need to know about these terrorists. They want to eradicate America, and will do it through violence if necessary. They want to replace it with an Islamic caliphate. Why are we allowing so many of these students who are not natural born Americans to remain in the nation?

Meanwhile

VCU students upset with demonstration policy changes

VCU students oppose new university policies, arguing that two changes were made without student input.

Anyone on campus wearing a facemask or hood must show their identification. Also being impacted is how and where students can protest.

“VCU decided to take the smallest form of expression and repress us,” said Sereen Haddad, the organizer of Wednesday’s walkout, a part of Students for Justice in Palestine group.

Yeah, well, if you don’t like it, head back to your Islamic extremist nation. And why would students get a say?

At the University of North Carolina, Teachers Attack Israel with the Lie of ‘Genocide’ and Students Threaten Violence

The 2024-25 school year has recently begun at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), where faculty members and students are continuing their anti-Israel activism and indoctrination.

In an email promoting a Sept. 6 event titled “Teach Palestine,” Nadia Yaqub — Professor in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies — wrote to her fellow UNC academics: “As the genocide against the people of Gaza continues, many of us feel we cannot proceed with our teaching as if nothing is going on.”

The event flier asks, “Are you concerned by the ongoing genocide in Gaza? Are you looking for ways to bring Gaza or Palestine/Palestinians in general into your courses?”

The non-Islamist supporters at UNC just want to learn the courses that they paid for.

And it continues across the country, with dumbass non-Islamists being brainwashed into hating Israel and Jews while learning to support Hamas and other terrorist groups.
