UN Head Takes Long Fossil Fueled Flight To Demand That The Madness Stop

By William Teach October 31, 2023 – 7:15 am

Does anyone think he took a commercial flight, followed by some other fossil fueled travel from Kathmandu in the form of prop planes, helicopters, and/or SUVs?

‘Stop the madness’ of climate change, UN chief declares

Nepal has lost almost a third of its ice volume in 30 years, with glaciers melting 65 per cent faster in the last decade than in the previous one.

“The rooftops of the world are caving in,” the UN chief said, warning that the “disappearance of glaciers altogether” looms even larger.

“Glaciers are icy reservoirs – the ones here in the Himalayas supply fresh water to well over a billion people. When they shrink, so do river flows,” he added. (snip)

The Secretary-General said his mission to the Everest region, was to “cry out from the rooftop of the world.”

“Stop the madness,” he emphasized, underscoring the need to end the age of fossil fuel to protect people on the frontlines of climate change induced destruction.

“We must act now to…limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, to avert the worst of climate chaos. The world can’t wait,” he concluded.

If every member of the Cult of Climastrology went and made their own lives carbon neutral this whole thing would be solved, per their dogma.

You can see a much bigger and wider version at the link. Notice the district: it includes many very high peaks, including Mt. Everest at the border with China. I can’t quite tell if that is Everest in the back, I think it is, but, regardless, it is quite a trek to get from Kathmandu up into that region. There’s almost no roads, so, he either flew a fossil fueled prop plane to Lukla airport and took a fossil fueled helicopter, or took one from Kathmandu. You can bet he’s not going to do all that walking and trekking for many days, not at that altitude.

Reuters Seems Upset Kids Are Exposed To Pro-Israel Ads In Games

By William Teach October 31, 2023 – 7:00 am

Granted, the ads are somewhat graphic

Graphic pro-Israel ads make their way into children’s video games

Maria Julia Assis was sitting down to a meal in her terraced home in north London when her 6-year-old son ran into the dining room, his face pale.

The puzzle game on his Android phone had been interrupted by a video showing Hamas militants, terrified Israeli families and blurred graphic footage. Over a black screen, a message from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the first grader: “WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WHO HARM US PAY A HEAVY PRICE.”

Assis, a 28-year-old barista from Brazil, said that the ad left her son shaken and she quickly deleted the game.

“He was shocked,” she said in a telephone interview last week. “He literally said, ‘What is this bloody ad doing in my game?'”

Is this one of those “my 6 year old spoke like they’re 20” things?

Reuters has not been able to establish how the ad came to her son’s video game, but her family isn’t alone. The news agency has documented at least five other cases across Europe where the same pro-Israel video, which carried footage of rocket attacks, a fiery explosion, and masked gunmen, was shown to gamers, including several children.

In at least one case, the ads were played inside the popular “Angry Birds” game made by SEGA-owned developer Rovio.

Rovio confirmed that “somehow these ads with disturbing content have in error made it through to our game” and were now being blocked manually. Spokesperson Lotta Backlund did not provide details on which of its “dozen or so ad partners” had supplied it with the ad.

ZOMG, a whole 6 instances? These same people at Reuters have zero problem with exposing children to all sorts of LGBT propaganda, including explicit sexual stuff, but, a pro-Israel ad? That’s just too much for them. It couldn’t possibly be due to them being haters of Israel and Jews and supporters of a designated terrorist group, could it?

He said the footage was part of a larger advocacy drive by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which has spent $1.5 million on internet ads since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on civilians in southern Israel ignited war in Gaza. He said officials had specifically instructed advertisers “to block it for people under 18”.

Saranga defended the graphic nature of the ad campaign.

“We want the world to understand that what happened here in Israel,” he said. “It’s a massacre.”

Unfortunately, there are a lot of Israel and Jew haters out there who won’t care even if they are given the full, brutal, graphic evidence of how horrible Hamas is.

Reuters contacted 43 advertising firms that Rovio listed on its website as “third-party data partners” to try to ascertain who placed the ad in the games.

Is this really that important that they do this? These same people couldn’t even take the time initially to learn that Hamas bombed their own hospital.

Climate Lunatics Warn Of World Wide Societal Breakdown

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 3:00 pm

At what point does their scaremongering, their apoplexy, just become too much for people to even take them seriously? Kinda like with Miley Cyrus when she just ramped up the insane. Do you hear much about her anymore?

Alarmists Threaten ‘Worldwide Societal Breakdown’ from Climate Crisis

A group of climate researchers warned this week that billions of people could find themselves in uninhabitable conditions by the year 2100 thanks to climate change.

“By the end of this century, an estimated 3 to 6 billion individuals — approximately one-third to one-half of the global population — might find themselves confined beyond the livable region, encountering severe heat, limited food availability, and elevated mortality rates because of the effects of climate change,” the authors wrote in their “2023 state of the climate report” published in BioScience.

The researchers, led by Oregon-based climate activists William J. Ripple and Christopher Wolf, stated that the effects of global warming “are progressively more severe, and possibilities such as a worldwide societal breakdown are feasible and dangerously underexplored.”

“Big problems need big solutions,” the authors declared. “Therefore, we must shift our perspective on the climate emergency from being just an isolated environmental issue to a systemic, existential threat.”

This sounds totally sciencey, right? If people in your life start getting hysterical, over-yammering about conspiracy theories, going all doom and gloom, do you start tuning them out? Staying away from them? I do.

But, hey, we can fix this with a tax and taking away all your life choices.

SCNY Creates Office To Send Illegal Aliens Packing

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 10:30 am

Remind me again: New York City is a self named sanctuary city, right? Going all the way to 1989 and mayor Ed Koch, they have declared themselves cities which love illegals and refuse to wirk with federal authorities like ICE. They let illegals, ones they know are very bad people, who go on to commit more heinous crimes. But, now that they’re over-run with illegals, but, not as much as border towns, they aren’t quite as accepting

New York City sets up office to give migrants one-way tickets out of town

New York City is intensifying efforts to transport migrants out of the city as its shelter system reaches capacity, setting up a dedicated office to provide asylum-seekers with free, one-way tickets to anywhere in the world.

City Hall confirmed the establishment of a new “reticketing center” in Manhattan as its latest bid to ease pressure on its shelters and finances following the arrival of more than 130,000 asylum-seekers since last year.

Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has described the situation as a crisis and has begun to warn that shelters are so full that migrants will soon be forced onto the street as winter approaches.

“I cannot say this enough. You know, we are out of the room,” he told reporters this week. “And it’s not ‘if’ people will be sleeping on the streets, it’s when. We are at full capacity.”

The city’s plan to offer migrants transportation builds upon previous efforts to send the asylum-seekers elsewhere, though the establishment of the dedicated reticketing center marks a renewed emphasis on the strategy.

That ticket should be to somewhere outside the U.S. Or other Democratic party run cities, preferably ones which have declared themselves sanctuary jurisdictions. How about Albany, the capital of NY, which also declared itself a sanctuary? It’s just another case of Democrats supporting something in theory, but, not happy when forced to practice their beliefs.

Study: Rise Of EVs Will Lead To More Road Congestion

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 7:00 am

Hmm, could this be true?

Electric cars to prompt more traffic jams, government report warns

The rise of electric cars will cause an increase in traffic jams across the country, new analysis conducted by the Government shows.

The revelation has emerged as part of research into the benefits of EVs, which are set to account for four in every five vehicles sold in the UK by the end of the decade.

A surge in congestion across Britain’s roads will be fuelled by the reduced running cost of EVs, the Department for Transport found, which will lead to drivers covering more miles.

The report, published late last week, estimates that the cost of congestion will be £78bn over the next 50 years – which is higher than previous predictions of £52bn in March.

It also estimates that EVs will soon cost an average of four pence per kilometre to run, compared to almost 10p for cars with combustion engines.

This will create a “rebound effect” as motorists will be happy to drive more given the prospect of cheaper mileage.

On the face of it, that makes sense. It’s just like how people will travel more when gas prices are down. But, not that much more. It’s actually more like people drive less when energy prices go up, which is what will happen because there just isn’t enough energy production to charge these vehicles. Will people drive more in the UK rather than taking some sort of public transportation as usual?

However, there’s one big fallacy here: that people will be able to afford the vehicles. Eventually, EVs might be in a range where the middle and working classes can afford an EV, perhaps even a new one. They will still most likely not be able to go far, not unless there’s a big breakthrough that is cost-effective. But, how long will it take to get there? 10 years? 20? All while the Government is forcing citizens to get out of petrol vehicles, and expecting massive numbers to be sold by 2035, mostly ending the sale of petrol vehicles (except for the rich folks and government officials, of course, because that’s the way this works).

The government report said that because zero-emissions vehicles have lower running costs than petrol and diesel equivalents, “there may be a resultant increase in miles driven.”

However, it added that an increased number of traffic jams could ultimately deter drivers from making some journeys.

Nah. It’s the inability to be able to afford the vehicles. Get them charged. And let’s not forget that insurance and repair costs are way higher. Oh, and they get totaled out by insurance companies a lot quicker than petrol/diesel vehicles, which means a lot more ending up in salvage yards faster.

Oh, and lots of them will be sitting there charging and waiting to get to a charger, because it will look like a line waiting for gas in the 70’s, hence, they won’t be on the road.

Brandon Admin Threatens To Stop Rifle Sales To Israel

By William Teach October 30, 2023 – 6:45 am

He’s upset that “civilians” were being given rifles. You know, the exact people the terrorists from Gaza attack

US threatens to stop supplying rifles to Israel

Biden Brain SlugThe US has threatened to stop supplying rifles to Israel after their national security minister was seen handing them out to civilians.

The diplomatic spat was prompted by images on social media of Itamar Ben-Gvir giving rifles to community security squads across the country, according to Israel’s daily Haaretz.

The images appeared to show Mr Ben-Gvir distributing the arms at political events in Bnei Brak and El’ad, two towns near Tel Aviv.

After several days of diplomatic exchanges, Israel committed to distributing the weapons only through its police or army, although politicians can be present when they are handed out.

Since the start of the war with Hamas, Israel has set up hundreds of volunteer security squads and has been arming them in view of possible unrest in Palestinian communities.

Most likely, every single person being given a rifle has served in the Israeli military, since a term of service for almost every Israeli citizen (except Arabs). These people are working as squads to provide local security, since Muslim terrorists love to attack civilians. Kill them, rape them, torture them, behead them. These are not civilians per se, they are former soldiers with training. Biden doesn’t want civilians to have the ability to protect themselves in the US, and also in Israel.

These squads normally provide enhanced security in the country’s peripheral areas and in the West Bank settlements, where clashes between Jewish settlers and the Palestinians are frequent and have intensified since the war started.

Which allows the military to go capture and kill members of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Iranians, etc.

Meanwhile

Watch: Pro-Palestine protesters call for ‘intifada from London to Gaza’

Pro-Palestine protesters have chanted “from London to Gaza, we’ll have an intifada”, footage of a rally in the capital on Saturday  shows.

Demonstrators following a flag that read “Fight for Revolution” were chanting the call for an intifada. The term has often been interpreted as referring to violent uprisings by Palestinians against the state of Israel.

In a clip posted on social media, a man with a loudhailer led the chant “From London to Gaza, we’ll have an intifada”.

England is done. They were warned about letting the extremists in. Funny how the Palestinians say exactly the same thing as Hamas.

NY Times Thrilled To Report Saudi Arabia Warns Of Wider War

By William Teach October 29, 2023 – 7:00 am

Like most Progressives, they really want Israel to back off and just suck up that Hamas murdered, raped, tortured, and beheaded Jews. That Hamas took lots of hostage. They want Israel to give Hamas the win, back off, and let Hamas reconstitute

Saudi Arabia Warns U.S.: Israeli Invasion of Gaza Could Be Catastrophic

Saudi officials have firmly warned the United States in recent days that an Israeli ground incursion into the Gaza Strip could be catastrophic for the Middle East.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of the Armed Services Committee, was one of 10 senators who met last weekend with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto ruler, in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

“The Saudi leadership was hopeful that a ground operation could be avoided for reasons of stability as well as the loss of life,” Blumenthal told The New York Times on Thursday. Saudi officials warned it would be “extremely harmful,” he added.

Senior Saudi officials have delivered even more forceful exhortations to their American counterparts in multiple conversations, raising their concerns that a ground invasion could turn into a disaster for the entire region, according to one Saudi official and a second person with knowledge of the discussions.

Perhaps Saudi officials could help end the murderous terrorist groups, could stop them from attacking Jews, from attempting to destroy Israel

The exchanges came as tensions rippled outward from Gaza. Essentials such as water and fuel are increasingly scarce as Israel bombards and besieges the enclave in response to the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, the armed Palestinian group that rules Gaza.

Are they f’ing kidding with this stuff? “Armed Palestinian group’? The US State Department, EU, and UN have designated them a terrorist group.

Oh, and what’s up with the Times and Dem senators listing to MBS? Wasn’t he the bad guy for killing Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi?

Scholars who study Hamas have warned that any attempt to eliminate the group, as Israel has vowed to do, could plant the seeds for more violence and extremism, deepening Palestinian feelings of subjugation under Israeli occupation and control.

The solution is for them to stop attacking Israel and Jews. To release the hostages now and every single one involved in the attack turn themselves in. Or kill themselves. Was the US supposed to restrain itself when attacked by the Japanese? How about the Brits by Germany? No one complained about the Russians going full bore after Germany. All the people complaining about Israel going full bore after Hamas should have thought about this beforehand as they supported Palestinians who are Islamic extremists. If MBS and the Saudis want people, defang Hamas, Hezbollah, and the other Islamist groups.

It’s very easy to say this for the Times and MBS and others, right up till it’s their people being slaughtered.
