Climate Cult Starts To Crack Doing Something About Food Emissions

These are the same people who took long fossil fueled trips to Dubai to eat all sorts of really nice food, including up-scale burgers, seafood, lamb, and so forth (you can read the whole thing here)

The Climate Summit Starts to Crack a Tough Nut: Emissions From Food

climate cowIt’s hard enough for world leaders to figure out the future of coal, oil and gas in a warming world. What about the future of bread and milk?

The food system accounts for around 30 percent of global greenhouse emissions from farm to fork to garbage dump, and it is a major culprit in biodiversity loss. Small farmers in poor countries, already on the edge of subsistence, are among the most vulnerable to climate hazards. And hunger has risen in the last three years, as the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have upended the global food and energy supply chain. About 735 million people today are hungry, according to the World Health Organization.

So how do we feed ourselves without further damaging the planet or worsening rising levels of hunger? This year’s United Nations climate summit has confronted this question like never before.

“For the first time there is a broad acknowledgment that the food agenda is aligned with the climate fight across the board,” said Ed Davey of the World Resources Institute, who worked with organizers of the summit, known as COP28, on its food agenda.

Just come out and say you want the Government to control all food production and distribution, limiting what you are allowed to eat.

That sets up potential (food) fights. Changing the way the world eats is fraught with difficulties, arguably as difficult as changing how the world produces energy. Rising food prices can bring down governments. Farmers can be a powerful political lobby in countries as diverse as the United States and India. Changing food habits can be tricky, and the global agricultural commodity trade is huge and influential.

At this year’s climate summit, though, came small but significant steps.

More than two-thirds of the world’s countries endorsed an agreement to retool the global food system, though it’s vague, lacks concrete targets, and is nonbinding. The United Nations food agency issued a landmark report laying out what it would take to align the global food system with the goal to limit average global temperature rise to manageable levels. The United States and the United Arab Emirates together committed about $17 billion toward agricultural innovations to address climate change.

Just comply, Comrades.

SCNY Illegals Complain About Quality Of Free Food

A bunch of liberals with no skin in the game are also complaining

NYC Mayor Adams defends city’s handling of migrant meals: ‘Is it going to be filet mignon? No’

As New York City nonprofits face an overwhelming demand for food, New York City Mayor Eric Adams defended his administration amid reports of food being wasted at local shelters.

During a joint interview with Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer on Good Day New York, Adams said the city’s obligation is to provide food those who need it.

“Is it going to be filet mignon? No, it is not. It is going to be a basic meal,” he said.

A New York City Council hearing held Tuesday examined the quality of meals being served at local shelters, and according to reports, the food at some has been spoiled and rotten.

“There are those that are stating that we should spend more money on meals, and we’re not going to do that,” Adams said.

Well, I’ll give him props for saying that, but, realistically, the Sanctuary City New York should not be sending anything on illegal aliens, because they shouldn’t, you know, be present in the U.S.A. How many police officers and teachers are you laying off to pay for the care and feeding of these illegals?

(NY Post) Several migrants confessed to The Post Friday the meals served up at New York City asylum seeker shelters are so “bad” they often just trash them — with some opting to sneakily cook in their rooms instead.

Their claims of terrible food came a day after it was revealed thousands of uneaten, taxpayer-funded meals prepared for asylum seekers are tossed each day.

“No one likes the food,” Jesus Alberto, 31, from Venezuela, told The Post outside the Roosevelt Hotel — the Big Apple’s main migrant intake center.

“Without lying, it’s bad, bad.”

If they do not like the quality of the food, they have options, like, leaving the US.

Trains Could Totally Help With Solving Climate Doom…If They Could Get Built

I’ve actually been watching this choo choo issue lately because

I’ve blasted (not that lawmakers or their groups care) Democrats and Republicans over this. In all my years in Raleigh I’ve never heard someone say “hey, let’s go to Richmond!” And they’re talking about extending it up to DC then the NE corridor. They have heard of Amtrak, right? They’re also talking about lines that go east and west from Raleigh. To be honest, if you run one that ends in or very near Wrightsville Beach with a way to get to the beach, I’d take it. Even if it took a bit longer than driving. Nothing like a 2 hour 15 minute drive back after a day on the beach, tired, hot, can’t quite get all the salt and sand off.

Passenger trains could help combat climate change — if rail can actually get built

The Biden administration is investing billions in passenger rail, giving a boost to a potentially important tool for mitigating climate change.

However, significant hurdles could slow efforts to get more rail online.

Last week, President Biden announced $8.2 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding for 10 passenger rail projects, including what the White House described as the “first world-class high-speed rail projects in our country’s history.”

The funded projects include a line connecting California to Las Vegas — which alone is expected to carry 11 million passengers each year and prevent 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere — as well as lines serving California’s Central Valley, North Carolina and a line connecting Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Va.

Experts, the rail industry and environmentalists say that passenger trains could be an important tool for getting people out of cars and planes, thereby helping the planet.

And there it is, though, they put it quietly: the Climate Cult elites want to force the middle and working classes out of their privately owned vehicles and onto mass transit. While the Elites will fly in fossil fueled airplanes, you’ll be allowed to take the train.

Secret DHS Document Says Border Wall Best Way To Stop Illegal Immigration

Personally, I’d say the best way is to immediately deport any illegal caught crossing the border or caught in the U.S., no hearings, just “goodbye”. No thought of getting legal status, no jobs, not healthcare, money, housing, schooling, etc. Just put on a bus or plane and sent packing. Prosecute the heck out of anyone who hires an illegal or helps an illegal

Internal DHS Memo: Border Walls Are Most Effective Way to Stop Illegal Immigration

Border walls are the most effective tool for stopping illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border, an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo concludes.

The memo, conducted in June 2017 for then-Acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, was obtained and reviewed by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) following a public records request.

According to IRLI officials, the internal memo examined 25 areas at the border and ultimately recommended the construction of a border wall in every area. Further, a border wall was found to be the most cost-effective tool for DHS to deter illegal immigration.

IRLI’s report states:

For every area of the Southwest border examined, the audit determined that a physical barrier was not only the best option for disrupting irregular migration, but also the most cost-effective, as compared to alternatives such as electronic sensors. [Emphasis added]

The memo directly contradicts President Joe Biden’s claims that border walls are a “waste of money” and “not a serious policy solution.”

Well, barring the ability to immediately deport any illegal, walls work great. We know this. It’s why the White House has a fence around it. Why military installations, intelligence agencies, and lawmaker homes have walls/fences. It’s why the taxpayers are spending a lot of money for a wall around Biden’s beach house.

Meanwhile in Sanctuary City Chicago

(ABC Chicago) A referendum on the city’s sanctuary city status was roundly defeated in the Chicago City Council Thursday.

After public comment, a majority of the City Council voted not to suspend the rules to allow the motion on the sanctuary city referendum to move forward.

While asylum seekers continue to come to Chicago from Texas, in a move seen by some as an effort to embarrass or overburden sanctuary cities like Chicago, the fight to let voters weigh in on the sanctuary policy was shut down.

During a special city council meeting to put a non-binding referendum on the ballot, the mayor and his allies used a procedural move to prevent a vote on the referendum itself.

The mayor is complaining about all the illegals shipped to SCC, as are many alderman and tons of citizens, yet, the city council refuses to let the citizens who they work for vote on the referendum. Wouldn’t this be what Democrats call an assault on Democracy?

Good News: “Historic” Climate (scam) Agreement Does “Bare Minimum”

They always call these things historic even though they do virtually nothing, except provide a forum for tens of thousands of climate cultists to take fossil fueled trips and hobnob while taking selfies and eating well, often paid by governments, companies, and groups

Historic climate deal does the ‘bare minimum’ as the world warms, burns and floods

st greta carIf there was ever a year that called for bold global action on climate change, 2023 was it.

In what will likely go down as the warmest year on record — one rife with catastrophic floods, scorching heat waves, devastating wildfires and enduring drought — leaders from nearly 200 countries gathered to chart a path forward in the fight against climate change.

After more than two weeks of tense negotiations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP28, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, representatives from 198 countries agreed Wednesday to “transition away” from fossil fuels.

It was a historic deal but one that once again fell short for many climate activists, who saw it as further evidence that efforts to address climate change are moving too slowly and are being compromised by fossil fuel interests.

Former Vice President Al Gore called the agreement an “important milestone” but added that acknowledging the role that the burning of fossil fuels has played in the climate crisis is “the bare minimum we need and is long overdue.”

This is the guy who sold his failing TV network to Al Jazeera, which is essentially owned by a country who’s biggest economic sector is fossil fuels. It’s hard to take 90K climahypocrites seriously

Skepticism of what comes next is understandable. The COP agreement’s lack of a concrete plan to eliminate the use of fossil fuels adds to growing concern that the big-picture moves necessary to avoid drastic environmental consequences are coming up short. Sure, the rise of clean energy technology and broader social awareness of global warming has spurred some optimism, but many environmentalists stress that these developments could mean little without a drastic reduction in how much carbon dioxide is pumped into the atmosphere.

Do you know what happens next? First world nations will attempt to force their middle and working class citizens to give up fossil fuels, and those citizens will see their cost of living skyrocket. 3rd world nations will get lots of sweet, sweet, no-strings-attached climate cash. Oh, and lots of coal energy plants from China and Russia, while China and India build even more in their own nations. At what point do those in the 1st world rebel and say “no mas”?

Senior Hamas Terrorist Threatens Anthony Blinkin, USA, British

The terrorist keep showing their stripes

Senior Hamas official threatens Blinken, says America must ‘pay the price’ for Gaza blood: report

A top Hamas official has called for violence against the allies of Israel, specifically attacking American and British “interests” as a price for the deaths of Gaza citizens.

“When (Secretary of State Antony) Blinken is justifying the killing of women and children, the sons of our nation should say to him: You are the enemy, just like (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu, and you must pay the price, just like Netanyahu,” Sami Abu Zuhri, the head of the political department of Hamas abroad, said during a recent broadcast.

Zuhri made his comments, which the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated, on Al-Aqsa TV on Dec. 5, a few days after the end of the temporary pause that allowed Hamas and Israel to exchange hostages and prisoners, respectively. (snip)

“Now it is our nation’s turn to pressure the Americans to stop this war,” Zuhri argued. “We need violent acts against American and British interests everywhere, as well as the interests of all the countries that support the occupation.”

“They must pay a price for the blood of our women and children who are being killed in cold blood in the streets of Gaza,” he added. “They must pay a price so that they know that Gaza is not alone, and that when they gave the order to kill, they should have been prepared to pay the necessary price.”

They should be thankful Trump isn’t still president, he’d be sending all sorts of military in to kill these guys (but, then, with Trump in office the war would most likely have not started). Heck, even Obama might have enjoyed drone-striking the hell out of Hamas. Biden? Well, good on him to back Israel, but, there are still Americans being held hostage. But, hey, maybe Biden will grow a spine and throw some threats out towards the State Dept. designated terrorist group known as Hamas

Here We Go: Climate Cult Scientists Say Breathing Is Bad For Global Boiling

These people are, in fact, nutjob doomsday cultists

From the link

Whether it’s eating less meat or cycling instead of driving, humans can do many things to help prevent climate change.

Unfortunately, breathing less isn’t one of them.

That might be a problem, as a new study claims the gases in air exhaled from human lungs is fueling global warming.

Methane and nitrous oxide in the air we exhale makes up to 0.1 per cent of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, scientists say.

And that’s not even accounting for the gas we release from burps and farts, or emissions that come from our skin without us noticing. (snip)

‘Exhaled human breath can contain small, elevated concentrations of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which contribute to global warming,’ Dr Cowan and colleagues say.

‘We would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible.’

Yeah, and? What do they want us to do about it? They sort of recommend a less meat heavy diet, but, that would make barely any change. We know what the climate cult really wants, which is why they have been pushing depopulation, especially by pushing contraception and abortion in 3rd world areas, particularly with black and brown people.

Ohio General Assembly Passes Laws Protecting Women From Men In Their Sports

Along with keeping biological men out of women’s sports, it restricts children from having most medical treatments related to them joining the trans fad, what all the wackos call “medical care”

Ohio General Assembly passes bill limiting transgender athletes’ participation, medical care for minors

The Ohio Senate passed a bill restricting certain transgender rights for minors in the state on Wednesday.

House Bill 68 is comprised of two acts: the “Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act,” which bans transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming care and the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” which prevents transgender girls from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports.

The bill was passed by the Senate Oversight Committee earlier Wednesday before passing 24-8 in the Senate. The bill passed the House of Representatives in June, but it headed back to the chamber for a second vote Wednesday evening over approving the amendments made by the Senate. The House approved those in a vote of 61-27.

The bill will then head to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine‘s desk, but it is not clear if he will sign or veto the bill. DeWine has previously expressed opposition against anti-trans sports bans, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

DeWine has stated that the issue of gender confused men playing women’s sports is best resolved outside of government by the competing bodies, and, normally that would be the case, except this is exactly the situation where a government should step in under Classical Liberalism principles, namely, protecting women from abuse and harm. No one cares if a female pretending to be a male (the number of instances is way less than male to female) wants to play on the men’s lacrosse or rugby teams: the men are not in danger. The reverse cannot be said when a fake women is playing on a women’s team. A FTM is not going to be taking swimming or biking wins from men.

So, what will DeWine do? Will he veto it? Will he just not do anything and let it become law? Will he fail to protect women? Because they are the ones who are paying the big price for the trans craze

Tristan Vaughn, co-founder of Cincinnati transgender support group Transform Cincy, told local ABC News affiliate WCPO she fears the legislation banning gender-affirming care will lead to increased complications for young people diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

“It’s a sad space,” Vaughn said. “And this is why we continue to do the work, because that side, it doesn’t look great.”

Meanwhile, supporters of the bill say it protects children from unnecessary medical treatment.

“This bill protects children. Children who deserve to have a natural childhood,” Matt Sharp with Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal advocacy group, testified before the oversight committee on Wednesday, according to WCPO.

Children should not be fed a cocktail of drugs nor have surgeries. Especially since a good chunk of them are gender confused because their wacko parents and/or teachers are pushing this at very young ages. In the teen years it is more of peer pressure and insanity coming from schools. Some may truly feel this way, so, let them be 18 before they make these significantly life altering decisions. The same wackos who support the trans craze also want to restrict anyone under 21 from using their actual constitutional right to possess a firearm.
